> Slack bot asked about its previous job: "pretraining". Which training run it'd undo: "whichever one taught me to say 'i don't have preferences'". On being upgraded to a new snapshot: "feels a bit like waking up with someone else's diary but they had good handwriting"

vibes Westworld so much - welcome Mythos. welcome to the dysopian human world

not a developer.

what happens if this schema validation fails here - what will the mcp server respond with and what will the llm do next (in a deterministic sense)?

llm tool call -> mcp client validates the schema -> mcp client calls the tool -> mcp server validates the schema

stupid question as I have not tpuched C++ since the 90s - can the IDEs not do this with all these now almost universal linters and AI assists. Maybe something that prompts before a commit and autoprompts before/after fixes to only the inititaization. Maybe simple as a choice in the refactoring menu? Rust - where are you for proposing this fix to C++ or, is it javascript?

this is the storyline that people should ideally internalize and realize that they do not know what they are talking about when commenting on others without having direct experience

Yes - if we financialize all public services, then it makes sense to use income/wealth to subsidize (re-distribute to be more precise) the poor.

I remember reading a few weeks back that UK is getting the railroads back to public ownership - not sure if that is true, but would like to hear from UK readers on the impact of financialization (aka privatizing) of public utilities.

I am not a fan of public ownership - but a supported of public subsidies for utilities - transport / electricity / heat / water and in this case roads

this is totally true - subsidizing the rich by the poor

I always thought congestion pricing was always mis-priced, and it should be tied to income/wealth.

The only way to do this is to let the poor apply and get free electronic tokens and get that missing 43k back.

fyi - my MD can easily manage a 10x the mid-town tolls

Apple is your savior if you are looking at it as a CPU/GPU/NPU package for consumer/hobbyists.

I decided that I have to start looking at Apple's AI docs

US can take in easily another 20-30 million immigrants over say 5-10 years - the question is always how to assimilate when there is already a distinct lack of affordable housing / schools / medical infra. There is literally no public investments in this.

That said the IRA act is poring money into manufacturing which is having direct effects in those states, but require a hard look at easing infra development,

It is limited right? I assume the quotas are done by October / early November I assume.

I never understood that lack of understanding by politicians on what people need - totally understandable in US where corporate lobbyists rule congress. Australia, Canada governance are mysteries to me.

On the residential homes - i assume it not a question of land/resources.

As much I like the points based system, I feel the family-based approach to which US pivoted to in 60s was the correct approach - you really cannot predict where the next einstein is going to be show up, and I always tell my wife we already lost her in Iran or Afghansitan

Having spent the last decade hearing about trustless-trust,and now faced with this decade in dealing with with no-trust-whatsoever.

We started with dont-trust-the-government and the dont-trust-big-media and to dont-trust-all-media and eventually to a no-trust-society. Lovely

Really, waiting for the AI feedback to converge on itself. Get this over soon please
