I googled her name. She seems to believe that the medicine proscribed killed her husband, and they should be using horse dewormer instead.

last time I checked, life savers are not food.

Just to say that MA has a pretty IMO idiotic flat state income tax rate of 5%, and having a income over 1m only increase the rate by 4%.

This increase is really negligible compare to the tax rate by the federal government and the cost of living difference between MA and other states.

If anything, I feel MA still don’t really have a “fair” income tax system yet, but one step at a time.

Am I too dumb or is this some LLM gibberish that has nothing to do with probablistic programming…

My main concern is the kid might feel entitled to what they are provided from their parents. That is not necessarily a problem in of itself, but I would be worried if my kids are not aware of how hard it would be to get a house or a car from nothing, because they never need to work for it. And I would be very upset if they cannot empathize with people who are not provided these things by their parents, hence doesn’t support public projects that benefit the less fortunate.

I growup with my mom preping me for “moving out at 18”, in the end, they did support me during college and give me some down payment for my apartment.

I still feel quite bad asking my family for money till this day, because I was taught that way. If it isn’t my wife pushing to get an apartment, I probably will rent until I can pay for my own place. I am honestly quite grateful for them paying for my college because it is not a small expense; and I understand most people don’t have these luxuries.

I feel their teaching let me save when I can, built up a lot of tolerance towards my environments and people around me, and develop a lot more empathy. I don’t know if there is a causal link, but I find people around me who talk a lot about “everyone should bootstrap themselves” often comes from richer families and they get much more than what I got from my parents. Quite honestly, I am very grateful I do not think like them, and I prefer my kid to not think like that as well.

To be completely clear, I am not claiming I am unlucky or have bad parents. My parent, despite forcing me to be independent, are still a great safety net for me. I try my hardest to live on my own and I happens to not need anything else from them (besides enormous college tuitions and down payment 🤣), but I am sure they will provide me whatever I need if I truly needed it.

Vegans/Vegetarians are not a small base in many parts of the world, but most vegan I know also don’t consume like of impossible meats very much (once or twice per week at most?).

One of my colleague like to have roasted potato with vegan mayo. So he is having potatoes cooked in oil together with potatos emulsified with oil.

Took me a several click to get to the source: https://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2025/4/3/real-time-federal-budget-tracker It has detailed budget breakdowns so it is decently convenient to explore.

I have done a very brief scrolling, here are some interesting findings. All the following data are year-to-date, comparing 2024 to 2025, adjusted for inflation:

Ups:

• despite mass firing, spending on federal employee salary has slightly gone up (by 4 billion, from 79 to 83 billion), which I assume is either current admin paying themselves, severance, or sign-on bonus to hiring back their fired employee.
• DoD and DVA spending has collectively gone up more than 20 billions.
• Unclassified spending up aroubd 20 billion, from 70 billion to 89 billion, a near 30% incease, curious what those are.
• Federal Highway, Railroad, and Transite are collectively up couple billion.
• DOJ, DOE, DOC has surprisingly gone up in spending. DOJ in particular gone up 1 billion, from 7 billion to 8 billion.

Downs:

• NIH and CDC are either slightly down or remain the same. It is worth noting that NIH and CDC collectively account for around 20 billions total spending, the same amount as the increase in DoD and DVA spending.
• Department of Education down 10 billion from 90 billion to 80 billion.
• USAID gone down 2 billion, even though it only accounted for total of 6 billion of spending in 2024.
• Homeland Security spending, surprisingly, down half a billion from 5.5 to 5.
• USPS down 1 billion, from 14 billion to 13 billion.

The article states: “Republican Representative Harriet Hageman of Wyoming … [states] a consistent rise in fatal truck crashes since its implementation.”

Whereas your statement is “[Requiring truck driver to speak English improves safety] is a fact”.

I am not saying what you said is necessarily wrong or the policy is necessarily harmful; but I feel we probably need more proof than “a republican representative said so”, to assert a certain statement as “a fact”.

BTW, neither you nor the news article provided the relevant data, which IMHO doesn’t really inspire confidence in your argument. Let alone all the potiential confounding variable others have mentioned.

I think it would be great if you can list some credible source before asserting a fact.

Also I have a question, why do truck drivers speaking English makes the road more safe? As long as they understand the required knowledge, I don’t see the language they speak matters in terms of safety, but that could just be my lack of understanding in this area.

Sorry what is the context? I am kind of out of the loop.

My conspricy theory is that early LLMs have a hard time figuring out the logical relation between sentenses, hence do not generate good transitions between sentences.

I think bullet point might be manually tuned up by the developers, but not inheritly present in the model; because we don’t tend to see bullet points that much in normal human communications.

more like vinegar than spicy vinegar TBH

I want to point out that macaroni and tortilla chip are not even topologically equivalent. Hence, OP’s statement is obviously ridiculous.

Functional programming doesn’t have much to do with what people call “AI” nowadays, but it is still a valuable skill to write compositional code.

Since you mention tooling, I am going to give a unconventional recommendation: rust, but try not to use mut keyword. Rust is a decently matrue language, widely used in the industry, and it actually support decently advanced functional features (e.g. https://varkor.github.io/blog/2019/03/28/idiomatic-monads-in-rust.html ).

Another alternative is scala, which I don’t know whether it is still very popular. But it certainly is one of the approachable “cool” language 7 years ago.

What brand of VPN do you use to bypass it, many of my friends are there quite frequently, none of them have a mainstream solution for it.

Last time I was there, express does not work, and I heard proton also does not work. However, my mobile carrier by default routes all roaming traffic through UK, so that did work.
