Your post has some errors & omissions:

- Legal euthanasia ('MAID' in Canadian parlance) is not limited to 'only a handful of doctors in a hospital'--both physicians and nurse practitioners are legally permitted to administer and evaluate patients eligibility for euthanasia.

- Legal euthanasia in Canada is available both to patients with terminal illness (deaths which are 'reasonably foreseeable') and patients with non-terminal illness which is 'grievous and irremediable'. The Canadian gov website expressly notes: "you do not need to have a fatal or terminal condition to be eligible for medical assistance in dying." [0]

- Patient eligibility is largely based on subjective assessment by the patient ("experience unbearable physical or mental suffering...that cannot be relieved under conditions that you consider acceptable") [0] and has been applied in cases far from clear-cut terminal illness leading to unbearable suffering.

- As of March 17th, 2023, the law will change to indeed permit legal euthanasia for patients with isolated mental illness. [0]

Your last two sentences express a valid opinion on the matter, but your initial paragraph contains several inaccuracies. Canada now has one of the world's most liberal euthanasia frameworks which permits euthanasia for non-terminal illnesses, defines patient eligibility largely on the basis of subjective criteria, and will soon be open to patients presenting with isolated mental illness.

The Science of Christmas Trees
I agree that FP languages sometimes exaggerate with the opeators (I think introducing new operators has its uses but the learning curve has to be traded off against the supposed benefits), but...

Perl is IMHO worse because it relies much more on global mutable context. For example, the diamond operator <> behaves differently depending on whether the magic global variable @ARGV is set.

By contrast, Haskell is typed and purely expression based, so that at least in principle you can pull apart expressions, examine them (and test them!) individually and then understand how they combine.
I appreciated this thoughtful response (rebuttal) to OP. I agree with your concept of "back in the 00s you'd never have a teacher scold a child for using wrong-sex clothes/toys because we'd largely gotten rid of the concept". This dovetails into one of the paradox's of the trans-adjacent ideology that I haven't been able to square in my own head, which is that transitioning genders is predicated on strong gender norms existing in a society. In other words, it seems less accepting to be a male and exhibit feminine traits (and by the way, we are in fact acknowledging traditional societal ideas of gender roles now, rather than moving beyond them).

for me, I can't sing along if it's not close to the original because my brain remembers every tick of the original and wants to match the key of the original as well.

Also, I had a friend who got addicted to Smule which is an online sing duets with random strangers. It uses auto-tune so that anyone can enjoy themselves. I never tried it but he said it was amazing and he got a ton of joy from it.

Me, I like the idea that I can show off my amazing singing skills so if this auto-tunes everyone then that will go away. On the other hand, it's always been frustrating that box style karaoke places rarely have a large selection of western music (most of them are targeting the subset of their local market that would actually to got a box style karaoke place). My hope is that with this more of them will support just using the room as a place to use this service and then my friends and I can sing from a larger variety of songs.
That is not in fact how science works.

Science only welcomes new ideas when they offer a possible solution to a problem with the existing paradigms. For this type of theory, if you had data showing the earliest known societies were unusually advanced, or if you had artifacts that suggest more wide spread early societies, these would be facts wanting an explanation.

You can't just say something like "maybe all language was singing until 20,000 years ago" and claim it's scientific until proven false.
If that was truly the only exception, then it wouldn't be the case that I am only told the price of routine, non-life-threatening visits after visiting. Things like yearly doctor checkups, dental cleanings/checkups, vision checkups, specific x-rays/MRIs, etc.

I think the most efficient construction on the moon would be inflated structures constructed underground in the mooncaves.

Let the caves block the radiation and just focus on the thermal insulation and the air pressure integrity.

This means it would be possible to build large volume spaces, like sporting arenas.

And that’s the segue I need to share a deck promoting “Moonball.”

Billions of people will want to watch professional athletes playing sports on the moon. A successful event or sports franchise could fund economically sustainable human habitation by 2035.”

I would love any feedback on this totally modest proposal:

> Stepping back, it’s interesting to see a homework question where there’s no unambiguously correct answer. This is sending a message that statistics is more like social science than like math, which could be valuable in itself—as long as it is made clear to students and teachers that this is the case.

I think I agree with this sentiment but not the specific wording if taken literally. There is one "unambiguously correct answer" but it happens to be problematic in practice. The others are all "unambiguously incorrect" but possibly usable for a weaker result. Also statistics is much more like math than social science where it's important to be precise and correct and not qualitative hand-wavy reasoning.
Every lender (Wüstenrot, Interhyp and Sparkasse) were ok with 100% lending as long as I was able to bring in my own 10% for legal/buying procedure. Of course it was during cheap money phase. Now it might be different. I also wouldn’t buy a house from last century anymore with current insane gas and electricity prices. And this makes things complicated since new buildings are very rare.

> scalable, low-latency ML infra

I'm really really curious as to the technical details of getting the inferences cheap and fast enough to enable a copilot like experience when you're not GitHub with inifinity resources.

Sam Altman has said that each chat in chatgpt is single digit cents per chat. GPT3 davinci is 0.02 per 1k tokens, not to mention the high latency. it'd be impossible to build "copilot for law" based on gpt3 because the UX wouldnt work with that latency or cost (you'd be running 100s of inferences if you count every debounced keystroke).

What cost per user/per inference/per day (however you think about it) do you need to get this down to? and what order of magnitude speedups did you need to accomplish to get this done?

(congrats btw, happy user here thanks to Prem)
Thanks for the support! We are actively looking to hire experts in program synthesis and ML infrastructure to help deliver this technology at scale
The kid in me believes all cars should come in Spectraflame, those bright metallic colors old hot wheels were painted, instead of the boring muddled colors available today. Cars today have lost all their individuality and character, and the lack of colors does not help.

There’s a reason for that: we don’t have VAT like you do.

Here’s an example: a base model iPhone 14 is $799. If I go to the Downtown San Francisco Apple Store, it is $868.12; if I go across a bridge to the Berkeley Apple Store it is $880.90; if I go from there across a different bridge to Corte Madera it is $870.91; if I go back through San Francisco down to the neighboring county to the Hillsdale Apple Store it is $875.90; and if I buy it in Cupertino, then it is $871.91. If I cross the State border with Oregon and go to an Apple Store in Tigard or Portland, then it is $799.

Which is the price Apple should be showing on the Apple Store? They tell you at checkout because what you pay at the end is calculated according to your shipping address, and it’s a line item: sales tax, but pricing is also marketing. Which price should Apple be quoting their American customers in national ad campaigns?
Really, why? I thought they were charming and well-executed.
Surprised this doesn't mention Materialized Views. Those can be used to create the buckets/facets from the larger table then offer faster lookup of the facet values.

Creating the MView would still be from a sequential scan but then you'll have small/fast views to queue queries for the huge table.
It's not about the consumer. The price is listed before tax to manipulate you into feeling like it's cheaper. If they add tax while you check out, you're basically already committed to purchasing the product.
Well sure? Remembering embarrassing stuff is annoying.

I've found that sitting with the thought for a little while and processing the emotion prevents it from coming up again. You can't just remember that girl in first year of uni that made an effort to hug you every day and flee the thought every time, painful as it is. You have to sit there and go through it. Yes I was young and stupid, but the reason I even cringe thinking about it is because I am now better. And that is ok.
Nevermind... it looks like SmartyNames isn't reliably detecting which domains are free. I've made a search where it showed many "free" domains which ended up non-free.

A freaky thing that this paper doesn’t mention is that in some cases these tics have gotten so extreme, that one patient began having almost constant seizures and became wheelchair-bound. Imagine being “infected” by watching a video on TikTok! It sounds like a horror movie.

From The Guardian:
“Over the next few weeks, Wacek noticed that she was having tics. “They were just little noises,” she says. “Nothing to write home about.” She would scrunch up her nose, or huff. The tics escalated from sounds into words and phrases. Then the motor tics kicked in. “I started punching walls and throwing myself at things,” she says. By July, Wacek was having seizures. She had to stop work. “Being a chef with seizures is not safe at all,” she says.
Her GP referred her to a neurologist, who diagnosed her with functional neurological syndrome (FND). People with FND have a neurological condition that cannot be medically explained, but can be extremely debilitating. “In a general neurological clinic, around 30% of the conditions we see are not fully explainable,” says Dr Jeremy Stern, a neurologist with the charity Tourettes Action. In Wacek’s case, FND manifested in verbal and motor tics, not dissimilar from how Tourette syndrome appears to lay people, although the two conditions are distinct.
Wacek has up to 20 seizures a day and currently has to use a wheelchair.”

The problem is/was the learning curve. And of course the UI. I really hope the Steam version is done well and not just one of those graphics packs that you can install on Dwarf Fortress.
> Let's first be clear that gender dysphoria is a real thing

To be clear, the pain someone is feeling is real but the "reality" of a condition is a bit of an unclear concept. We can't really address this until we try to control for the gendered expectations of the sufferer, their surroundings, and any observers. Suzie Green of Mermaids has said that some of their motivation in transing their son as a toddler was his father's discomfort with some of the toys he was playing with and the homosexual connotations. Likely if the boy had tolerant and unbiased parents he'd be happy as a man, and thus it's unlikely he truly had "gender dysphoria" unless you count whatever his parents conditioned into him.

> and transitioning has been a very real solution for many people

Again, hard to say given that the decision probably was not made in isolation from heavily gendered expectations. There's reason to think that removing those expectations would have made them at least as happy, if not more.

> Transitioning is [...] treatment, and not [...] an assault on anyone's cultural, religious or political beliefs.

For an adult it's a personal choice and we should have pretty wide latitude in things that only impact us. It becomes a societal and political issue when it's brought into schools, or when males are given access to women's spaces and opportunities.

> And if it really is happening more to girls than boys, maybe consider if cultural sexism might cause some women to not want to identify as such anymore. Especially in the face of issues like rape, bodily autonomy, but also acceptable jobs and behaviours. Maybe we should be more tolerant of cross-dressing.

Errr, that's the wrong takeaway. If a woman wasn't going to get promoted then her putting on pants won't help, and if she was going to get abused it wouldn't trick her attacker. We should work to remove or mitigate those problems so she doesn't feel the need to hide her true self.

If a woman is thought to be able to avoid rape by dressing like a man and/or having surgeries to reduce her sexual attractiveness then women will be thought to be asking for it ("How was she dressed? Did she still have her breasts?") for not doing those things.
Those ears need to be HD-capable or whatever the term is. And I need to get those HD rabbit ears so I can watch sports on broadcast tele instead of choppy rando streams.
Man Alarmed to Become Only Guest at $400000 Metaverse Party
He has founded six companies. You don’t have to like him, but refusing to acknowledge basic facts just makes you look like an idiot.
I already agreed you were technically correct!
Either you're a fraud or a fool.

The land registry does not list "transaction fees" and neither do auction houses. If the land was indeed purchased for a large amount of money, the buyer (who is now the seller) would need to have purchased it... either in cash, or with a mortgage. There's no mortgages outstanding for the company (per companies house) and the company has no money.

I'll be charitable and assume you're just a fool: you've been played by your property agency partners, and the "member of your team" is of course, I'm sure, the person who provided the valuation from their "independent" valuer (because they're the property expert after all).

You can go on rightmove or an auction website right now and see comparable land available for <£100k. The basis of your defence was that of course the land is worth a lot because land in the UK is worth a lot but that's just not true, the only place where parking spaces sell for more than £7,000 is in London: in 75%+ of the country, you could buy 1 acre of land for £7,000.

The value of unused land for sale is a function of the amount of realisable value, for example, if there is a piece of land with planning permission for a 5 bedroom house in an area where a 5 bedroom house sells for £1,000,000, the price of the land would be something like £1m - (cost of building a house) - (some adjustment for the risk borne by the builder which becomes their profit), e.g: £500k.

If your 1.72 acres of beach front land is worth close to £2,000,000 that would mean there is much more than £2,000,000 realisable value for an owner of the land. Please, think through how you could conceivably realise millions of pounds of value from a piece of land that you are unable to build on.

Land in the UK is plentiful, the reason that a small proportion of land here is expensive is because only a small proportion of land is suitable for development and has permission for development. You could buy acres and acres of land anywhere in the UK for the price of 1 months rent in London... because the land is undevelopable, because you'll never get permission to develop.

The idea that an acre of beachfront is worth millions, when it has much less than a million worth of realisable value, is absurd. You're a business man, write a business case for this land.

If £7,000 was a "transaction fee" then is this other auction, with a listed sold price of £130,750, a transaction fee of £130k for this piece of land? And if so, is this land worth (130,750 / 7000) * 1,900,000 = £35 million?

Does referring to someone as "they" when you are unsure of their chosen pronouns count as misgendering?
Good point. I guess this need to be expanded with limits on other types assets as well.

Basically we’ll end up in a totalitarian society governed by an AI.

That train of thought escalated quickly.
There are three reasons it reloads constants:

1. It thinks it is cheaper than keeping them in a register ( this is known as rematerialization). It will reload constants that it lets it keep something else in a register, and it's cheaper to do this.

2. It thinks something could affect the constant.

3. It thinks it must move it through memory to use it, and then it thinks the memory was clobbered.

In this case, it definitely knows it is a constant, and it can't prove that both loops always execute, so it places it in the path where it is only executed once per loop, because it believes it will be cheaper.

I can still make at least gcc do weird things if i prove to it the loop executes once.

In that case, what is happening in gcc is that constant propagation is propagating the vector constant forward into both loops.
Something later (that has a machine cost model) is expected to commonize it if it is cheaper, but never does.
I am a decently experienced NYC cyclist. Not Terry Barentsen or anything, but pretty decent at biking both in fitness terms and in practical urban NYC riding.

The biggest problem with e-bikers, and general e-thing riders, as a population, is that they haven’t built the bike skills equivalent to the speed that they can go at. I can ride 20mph if I want to, but it took a long time for me to be able to do that. I had to ride a lot. In doing so, I got a lot of practice.

E-bikes allow you to do that with basically no practice. The resulting behavior is not good. They ride erratically. They ride with AirPods. They salmon. They salmon at night with no lights. They salmon on roads that aren’t even one way! They shoal at every intersection.

So this thing will make them double wide as they salmon… I don’t want to be opposed to e-bikes but the practical effects on cycling, for those of us that were already doing it, since the pandemic explosion, haven’t been great.
Government restricts the resources available for health care with the idea that it costs to much to have extra.

So my local hospital just does whatever and charges Medicare their CAH rates, doesn't matter a lot if they suck or could be cheaper, no one else can open a hospital (both by state law and because Medicare probably wouldn't agree to pay them).
People often say "there should be a register of police offers nationwide that records officers who were terminated for cause, resigned in lieu of termination, etc."
