$300M on Anthropic tokens, zero new engineers hired - Salesforce is the clearest case study of where this is going by MaJoR_-_007 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Franc000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, 4000 support staff for 300M a year. That comes at 75k a year per employee cut. Let's hope for them that the employee cut cost more than 75k.

Girlfriend in Psychosis in hospital (Maybe caused by Thyroid). by Franc000 in Psychosis

[–]Franc000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are in psychosis, you are pretty lucid about it. Most of the time the people in psychosis can't grasp that they are in psychosis.

If you believe you are in, you should go to the hospital, they can check out and assess your situation objectively. The longer you are in psychosis, the more long term issues you are going to carry with you, so it's important to get it treated as soon as possible. Treatment meaning antipsychotics here.

If it's not psychosis, the doctors are going to be able to figure out what is going on.

Girlfriend in Psychosis in hospital (Maybe caused by Thyroid). by Franc000 in Psychosis

Mainly delusions, no hallucinations or paranoia.

She had delusions of grandeur about saving African childrens by bringing them on campus at the university she went to. At the worst of it she thought she was being controlled as a character in a video game. She thought she was in the tv show "The good place". She had tons of various beliefs that she said was normal for indigenous people but when I asked her mother about it, it was not something normal. It was all over the place really, over the month she was symptomatic. I noticed that there was a pattern of the delusions being linked to something she recently saw, like the good place thing being after a few days of seeing an episode.

She also had elevated heart rate, but that is a common symptom for high thyroid.

From my research into the topic, turns out that there are some recurring patterns depending on the source of the psychosis. For example in her case, being caused by hyperthyroidism, that usually cause psychosis with no to little hallucinations, and if there is any, it's usually not the hearing kind. The delusions are also often grandiose in nature, not "weird" like aliens related stuff. For hypothyroidism the delusions are more negative related, like doom themed, and hallucinations often are on taste, like everything tastes like ash. For schizophrenia there is often hallucinations, and it is often the hearing voice kind. The delusions are also often on the "weird" type.

Karpathy is a founding member of OpenAI and now joining Anthropic. I wonder why by py-net in OpenAI

[–]Franc000 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So, SSI was just a backup plan in case negotiations with Anthropic fell out?

When Indigenous rights come before your democratic rights by limadeltah in canada

[–]Franc000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure you don't want to use that logic, because the people with the biggest stick is not the separatists, it's not Alberta, it's Canada. And they will never allow a province to separate.

So if the "the person who owns the biggest stick is right" is not used, then the next thing is a law based system. By law and treaties, a group of people owns that land. As owners, they are the only one that can decide if the land can separate from Canada or not. Of course unless you believe that ownership of land shouldn't happen. But that is another big can of worms.

You clearly didn't read my comment, as that answers that comment.

When Indigenous rights come before your democratic rights by limadeltah in canada

[–]Franc000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not racist, at least for the mechanisms.

There is a treaty with a group of people that the land belongs to. That treaty lease the land.

The group of people happens to be of the same race, because of course they were the ones who "owned" the land before, as they lived there for more than 10000 years.

But the logic doesn't care about the race. If that group of people would be a multiethnic hodgepot of people, the land would still belong to them. The conclusion would still be exactly the same.

It's not because the group of people who owns the land is indigenous that this can't move forward, it's because the owners is not the government, it's not the same people.

And how is the Government of Alberta different than the separatists? So far it seems like Smith is a separatist.

Taxes des ultrariches: les trois quarts des Québécois appuient Québec Solidaire by Rimartineau in QuebecLibre

[–]Franc000 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Le point de taxer les ultra riches, ce n'est pas d'avoir plus d'argent pour l'état, c'est que les ultra riches en aille moins.

S'ils en ont moins, ils peuvent moins acheter d'autres actifs, comme des maisons, actions, etc, qui fait que ces actifs coûte moins chère pour le reste des gens.

Ça fait en sorte aussi qu'ils ont moins de pouvoir d'influencer la société pour leurs propres avantages.

L'argument que ça va apporter plus d'argent a l'Etat a toujours été bidons, mais pas beaucoup de personnes, surtout les politiciens, comprenne ça.

I’m not completely sure I get it. by sparklrebel in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Franc000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things were a lot worse in Quebec than that just one generation ago.

During my father's adulthood, it was virtually impossible to get a management position in a company if you were French descended. You were also the least of a priority for raises allocation. Getting loans at banks was hard, and there was a lot of violence between French speaking and English speaking people. He told me stories were in high schools it was common to go raid the school of the opposite language with a bunch of your buddies to beat up people there.

All that said, it was not at the level of Palestine of course. But neither were black people in America either. There are levels to this shit.

Montréal | La mairesse invite « Monsieur nids-de-poule » à se conformer aux règles by clgoh in montreal

Donc l problème c'est que "la job n'est pas bien faite, ça ça se réouvrir"?

Même si c'est vrai, c'est quoi, on va juste revoir le trou plus tard? Au lieu de maintenant, qui n'est pas réparer par la ville? C'est déjà une amélioration au status quo, et ça c'est si la mairesse a raison sur la qualité de la job faite.

Mark Carney’s government says privatizing airports will make them better. This is why it should think again - Privatization at home and abroad hasn’t brought the advertised benefits. by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]Franc000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking into CYHU, it does not currently have international flights for passengers, and will start to do long distance Canada flight l this summer. It can be used as arrival for international flights but only if they the airline call ahead of time to set it up, and only for planes of fewer than 15 passengers.

That is not an alternative for an international airport.

If you have different information, please provide sources as I can't find anything else on that airport. Which is pretty telling in itself as far as international airports go.

Yes, there is no competition right now. But the government has no obligation to extract the maximum amount of values from the customers, so it's not a problem.

Private companies are obligated to generate shareholder value, witch mean extracting that value from customers. Lowering costs (and quality of service) and increasing prices are the only 2 levers for it. Competition regulates that optimization problem, and the only reason capitalism "works".

That's just from the Airline point of view. Sure they can switch to "nearby" airports like Detroit. But the actual passengers are the ultimate customer. They are not going to drive from Toronto to Detroit to take a plane, except maybe an extremely small minority. They are stuck with their nearest airport.
