Anything built post-GD (which is going to be the vast majority of what you service) was likely touched by government subsidy in some fashion, whether grants, loans, or municipal bonds (tax-exempt, so effectively a subsidy). "Company towns" built before then were often subsidized, in effect, by companies not having to bear the financial burden of their many, many instances of illegal or rights-infringing behavior.

That's not considering your customers, who are likely also subsidized by the government in some fashion - if their jobs do not involve federal or state government contracts or supplying or servicing companies holding such contracts, they're almost certainly taking advantage of advantageous tax rebates or deductions.
My personal experience has been that most people I know who killed themselves were older and had a dementia diagnosis. They wanted to go out on their own terms.
But that way dividends are useless though.

I'd much rather dividends be issued on random dates to random shareholders so that the market cannot predict when they happen, just a bunch of random people anonymously get dividends deposited each time, and as long as you stay invested for a long time you get dividends at the same average rate as everyone else.

Just did some searching.

According to stats Canada, in 2022 there were 334,081 total deaths (https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=131003...). There were 13,241 MAID deaths reported in Canada in 2022, according to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia_in_Canada). So that's 3.96 % in 2022. So I guess the claim of 5 % is actually possible.

Fine for me, maybe a problem on your end?
Sure. If for some reason you only care about this with regards to struct types that have constructors that correctly initialize all of their members then you are good by default (sort of, there are weird edge cases here with globals). But "safe for this, not for that" is not especially compelling to me when it is hard to imagine a C++ codebase that doesn't use primitives/pod types somewhere.

Plus, there are stl types that don't guarantee initialization of members. So it isn't like only ever resting on top of stl types is sufficient. std::optional has a non-default constructor but it can happily blow up because of a read of uninitialized data.

And the fact that this is the silent default behavior in C++ is wild to me. Even in languages where it is possible to leave data in an uninitialized state, you should need to loudly signal it.

It's not in the standard itself, because the standard doesn't directly talk about ABI. But there was a vote within the committee not to break ABI, as you can see in the Prague 2020 meeting here: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2020/n48... (scroll down to page 11). And if you ever listen into any committee meetings or try to present papers, ABI breaks are very serious concerns that can torpedo proposals.

It might be hard to remember now, but Intel was in the position NVIDIA is today: they could sell absolutely every x86 processor they could make, at pretty much any price they cared to name.

So even if Intel could have built another fab (which, btw, it couldn't, the world only graduates so many solid-state physics Ph.D.'s per year) but even if they could, they would STILL have used it to make x86 chips. Literally (not metaphorically or hyperbolically) nothing else they could manufacture would have as high a return on investment as making x86 chips did.

An LLM that only used “factual encyclopedia data” as its training set would probably be very good at producing content that looked like encyclopedia articles, but bad at anything else.

Probably wouldn’t be any less prone to confabulation than any other LLM, and given how limited in coverage the sum of any factual encyclopedia is compared to typical LLM training sets, would have even a spottier base of factual information that most LLM’s have to work from.

Yes, but that’s orthogonal to the training set.

Did you open an issue for the segfault you got, on the Tree-sitter repo or the repo for the particular parser you were using?

It's not really accurate to say that Tree-sitter segfaults constantly. The Tree-sitter CI performs randomized fuzz testing based on a bunch of popular grammars, randomly mutating entries from their test corpus. If you have a reproduction case for the segfault, it'd be useful to report.

Since you mention NPM, it sounds like you may be talking about a segfault that's specific to the Tree-sitter Node.js bindings, but it's hard to be sure.

If you think about how assisted suicide is applied in Canada (or at least in Quebec) it's really not that surprising.

Despite the somewhat negative coverage medical assitance in dying is really given to people with days/weeks to live as a way to skip the suffering of when your illness is not quite advanced enough to kill you, but is definitely advanced enough for the person to live in considerable pain.

Hopefully there will be better alternatives (to LLMs) at some point that don't hallucinate.

Right - "none of the other tools try to integrate nicely, so if we support it well it must be necessary" is the thought to address.
To the parent: “AI” in 2024 is just using REST APIs. Don’t bother inventing new models, just get up to speed on what the various vendors are good at and the basic techniques (particularly Agents/ReAct and RAG) and you’ve learned enough. The demand for AI is almost unlimited right now, and it’s definitely not too late. It’s like 2009 in the iPhone dev era; plenty of time to quickly learn ObjC.

Honestly, I created it just to keep things organized. I fork a lot of projects for different reasons, but mostly just to keep a copy around for when "weird shit happens". Eventually I had some many forked projects in my "mindcrime" org that they got in the way, so creating a "mindcrime-forks" and moving all the forks there seemed like an obvious choice.

I also did a "mindcrime-templates" for template pom.xml files, and silly little "starter projects" of various sorts that I can clone down and and have something set up the way I like it, with minimal scaffolding, and then start morphing it into whatever I need.
People like me are an extreme edge case, I doubt this was a big factor in any debate.

>> "taking from the poor, giving to the rich" and a xenophobic agenda
>
> Quite strong words. This sounds very much like your personal opinion instead of a fact.

Yes, strong words. In my opinion it's the worst government as long as I have followed Finnish politics. A vice prime minister who wants to shoot foreigners, that would not be acceptable in many Western democracies. (Yes, the statement is old and she might have written it only to get political supporters. But for me neither of them is an excuse.)

Just read any newspaper:

* Next month social benefits will be cut and more cuts are in preparation

* Unemployed foreigners will lose their permits and have to leave their country after a short time. Not yet decided, but the original plan was 3 months.

* The possibility for seeking political asylum can be suspended for 30 days (draft by the ministry)

That's what I call taking from the poor and the weak.

Despite that everybody agrees that the public debt is growing too fast, the government insists on lowering taxes (not drastically, but still) instead of raising them as the situation would require.

That's what I call giving to the rich.

The new government is growing the debt even further already according to current budget. And typically the budget is too optimistic, in reality it might come worse. I would not call that understanding economic principles, it's pure ideology that taxes must not be raised and benefits of the rich must not be touched.

> apparently so do most of the happy finnish voters.

The results were pretty unclear. Several government coalitions would have been possible. The winner did not want to compromise, but move to the right as far as they could.

If there were a election today, the Finns Party would lose quite a bit. Many of their voters are affected by the cuts and not happy.

So claiming that this government has a strong backing is a bit of an exaggeration. It does not help that they repeat it. They won the last election, but that's it.

> One technique which reduces hallucinations, is to augment the LLM with a database of facts (such as the text of an encyclopaedia). You take the prompt, and you do a semantic search on the fact database (RAG, retrieval augmented generation) to find sentences/paragraphs/documents which relate to the prompt, and you add them to the prompt. Another related approach is function-calling, where instead of just doing a query based on the text of the prompt, you let the LLM analyse the prompt and come up with search terms, and then allow the LLM to do a search for the terms it has chosen. You can prompt and fine-tune the LLM to cite all its claims to the fact database.

Note that these are really very closely related, almost to the point of being slight variations on a single technique: both are “do a search on a database and include the results in a prompt to the LLM”; they differ in one uses something outside of the LLM to calculate the search query (typically, just an embedding of the user prompt used to search a vector DB), the other prompts the LLM so that it produces an appropriate search query.
If, say, 50% of people who die do so from extreme old age or wasting away from a disease they'll never recover from, what's surprising about a culture where 10% of that population decides to end their life a few months early on their own terms?

Stepping back, why is something outside your own cultural norms unbelievable in a general sense instead of it feeling natural to you for there to be different cultures? You don't have to agree with another culture, but why is it uncomfortable for it to exist?

> Alcohol impairment goes away after a few hours.

I think this is a gross oversimplification.

If memory serves, the rate of ethanol metabolism is something around 0.015 (units?) per hour.

In my ED, an average BAL for a patient that we realize is intoxicated (and choose to get a level) is probably 0.3 or so. 0.4 - 0.5 is common, and we see nearly 0.8 (in ambulatory patients!) from time to time.

So for 0.3, if you are maximally generous and consider "sober" 0.08 (the level for an automatic DUI in my state), you're looking at 15 hours of observation. Not exactly "a few."

Further, your own anecdote highlights exactly my point. How you you *know* you had a TBI? Because it felt like one? Because a doctor told you it was one? Because a physician's (subjective) assessment of your exam suggested it was one? Because your insurance would cover an inpatient stay for one if they listed that as the diagnosis?

Don't misunderstand, I do a relatively thorough neurological exam compared to my colleagues, but I have no pretenses as to the level of subjectivity in my assessment, or to the external biases that could potentially sway my judgment. A more objective measure would be greatly appreciated, both to help ensure that I was acting in patients' best interest, and frankly to help me compel others to act in appropriate cases.
