2100 = three generations from now.
To get to 100 mil from 42 mil in 74 years entails population growth of a little less than 1.2 per cent per year. Actual population growth over the last 74 years: 1.44 per cent per year.
So the scary, scary proposition that this professional fear-monger would like you to lose your mind over is ... to slow down population growth by about a fifth.
No doubt if you had told people in 1952, when the population was less than 15 million, that Canada's population in 2026 would be nearly 42 million, they would have panicked, too. How will we ever feed all those people? How will we ever employ them? etc In fact, employment grew faster than population (4x vs 2.9x). Per capita GDP has more than quadrupled. etc etc.
Or rather no, probably they wouldn't have panicked. Because our politics had not yet been overrrun by such chronic bed-wetters.
For all the iPhone Duo failure talk, they're tracking to sell 6-7 million in q4 alone, and 20-25 million in 2027. This will cumulatively blow past all Samsung folding phones *ever made* by late 2027 (even while the Fold 8 grows 40/50% in sales from the halo effect of the Duo for those that prefer Android). Rising tide lifts all boats etc

BREAKING:
Sleep researchers confirm that when an ADHD partner stays up until 1:30 AM scrolling or playing games even though they have to wake up at 6:30 AM and are exhausted—it’s called "Revenge Bedtime Procrastination," and it is triggered by Daytime Autonomy Starvation.
If you get frustrated watching your partner stay up way too late and wake up grumpy every morning, here is what is actually happening inside their brain: 1/6

The way people selectively edited this interview on social media was highly misleading. Here’s what Leader Jeffries actually said:
Agenda = affordability and accountability.
Rep. Raskin and Rep. Garcia will lead on accountability in their respective committees.

Chuck Schumer has gone from a punching bag for Democrats to the architect of their historic landslide, @FranklinFoer writes. He spoke with the senator: theatln.tc/8GgiSxtj

Nothing says self confidence more than blocking someone for being Canadian. I've lived many years in America. Jeffries will be speaker of the House. Schumer will be senate majority leader. It's kind of obvious. I didn't mean any ill will to progressives beyond stating that it's a waste of time and energy to fight obvious things.

Oh boy. Here he goes again
What happens when a billion more people can build software?
AI is making programming easier. But building something shouldn't mean giving up control over where it runs or who owns it.

We need data to see if this is true, but it agrees with my basic thesis: Social media is a uniquely radicalizing and polarizing force in human societies, and AI's data-driven and inherently moderate viewpoints are at least a partial remedy.

We introduce 3D World Simulator, an interactive world model that runs at 50+ FPS on an RTX 5090.
Our model predicts in a unified 3D representation space, capable of generating:
• Novel view appearance
• Multi-view consistent RGB-D
• 3D geometry
• Spatially aligned tactile signals
Play with the world model now at jwang771.github.io/3dworldsi…!

I’ve been working really hard on something
I am extremely proud of how it’s going, and believe that in the long term, I can turn it into the Final Cut Pro for Spatial and Immersive video
Here is only a little taste. Stay Tuned!

I've been using Codex to build a sculpting tool for my own creative experiments on Apple Vision Pro.
Here's a little sketch, captured from outside the headset.
iPhone Duo preorder hack worked for me: I preordered from Apple on Oct 16th for Jan 29 delivery. Preordered from a local Best Buy on Oct 19th. They called me Oct 31st to offer a 2 TB they got in stock from their allocation gods. Which I bought, and cancelled my Apple preorder. The moral is... book with a local store if you want it sooner.
