With the new 4-year Ontario curriculum, 17-18 year olds are expected to graduate from high school. Students are expected to leave home at a younger age and attend a post-secondary institution. As an 18 year old attending a post-secondary institution, you have all the responsibilities of adults. You pay bills, you live on your own, you make your own decisions yet the Ontario government sees 18 year olds unfit to make the choice to whether to consume alcohol or not. Currently in Ontario, the legal drinking age is 19, approximately half of all first year post-secondary students will be 17-18. Meaning that many mature young adults enrolled in post-secondary institutions will not be able to legally consume alcohol, a choice which they should be able to make. Currently in Ontario, 18 year olds are legally able to purchase pornography and are legally allowed to gamble, yet they are not able to legally purchase or consume alcohol. We the undersigned request provincial legislation for the legal age of alcohol purchase and consumption to be changed form 19 to 18.

I was reading through the comments earlier and it just blows my mind that we still treat eighteen year olds like children who cannot make simple choices despite them paying rent and navigating adult lives on their own. I have been drafting a formal letter to the provincial office based on these stories and the sheer absurdity of the current gambling laws compared to this one. It feels like the government is just ignoring reality but eventually they have to look at the facts.

I am currently in the army reserve (Joined at 16 currently 17). It is ridiculous we can join to fight for our country at such a young age but cant drink until 3 years later.

If I'm legally an adult, I should be treated as one. If I am mature enough to make a decision to fight and die for my country, I should be mature enough to have a drink with friends.

This is important to me because at 18 years old we are not children anymore. I’m sick and tired of people putting age restrictions on literal adults. At 18 you should be able to do anything you’d like just like a 40 year old adult. Imagine waiting to be 18 just to figure out that they raised alcohol consumption to 19. I’m from Quebec and I can consume alcohol because I’m 18. Toronto shouldn’t be any different. The rest of Canada shouldn’t be different. You’re a grown *ss adult at the age of 18.

Monsieur Gottlob Frege perfectionna le système de Boole en formalisant le concept de prédicat, qui est une entité logique soit vraie, soit fausse (toute maison a un propriétaire), mais contenant des variables non logiques, n’ayant en soi aucun degré de vérité (maison, propriétaire). Cette formalisation eut une grande importance puisqu'elle permit de apostrophes démontrer des théorèmes généraux, simplement en appliquant des règles typographiques à des ensembles de symboles. La réflexion en langage courant ne portait plus que sur le choix des règles à appliquer. Par ailleurs, l’utilisateur joue un rôle important puisqu'il connaît le sens des symboles qu’il a inventés et ce sens n'est pas toujours formalisé, ce qui ramène au problème de la signification en intelligence artificielle, et de la subjectivité des utilisateurs. Il n'y a jamais eu autant de possibilités de regarder des séries et des films sur le web que depuis l'essor des plateformes de SVOD. Que vous cherchiez des séries adultes et ou des programmes pour toute la famille, il y en a pour tous les gouts et toutes les envies. Alors mais avec l’IA, on ne fabrique pas une créature. L’IA n’est pas autonome, elle n’est en fait qu’un automate. Dans un de ses livres, écrit avec Marcel Duchamp, l’écrivain Michel Carrouges parlait pardado des machines célibataires, qui évoluent seules, sans souci des hommes ni du bien commun. En santé, les machines ne doivent pas être célibataires, mais partenaires. Bien que l’approche de l’apprentissage profond soit innovante et qu’elle permette certaines avancées dans les années 90, elle n’attire pas, à l’époque, toute l’attention de la communauté scientifique. Beaucoup croient que les chercheurs qui s’y attardent font fausse route. Si on fournit à l’ordinateur une quantité massive de données (sons, images ou textes) et le résultat qu’on attend de lui, l’ordinateur ajuste graduellement ses paramètres internes.
