Good Morning #Canada
Did you know that a Dodecahedron is a 12-letter name for any 12-sided shape. And did you also know that on this day in 1962, the Canadian Government decreed that our dodecahedron nickel was decadent and that round was right. Pre-1962 nickels are now pretty worth a nickel, but a coin in "mint condition" has been known to fetch a few pennies more.
Have you noticed there are more coin buying events in your neighbourhoods over the past few years? Some of that activity is driven by buyers taking advantage of people wanting to sell old jewelry, collectibles, or jars of coins that are sitting in the back of drawers or closets. But the rise of digital transactions, particularly increased during COVID when no one wanted to touch your infected money, has increased the collectible value of coins and, in some cases, the actual metal value exceeds the face value.

I'm still learning #OpenSCAD. This part, the lower knuckle for the four-bar linkage of the #Tricycle, isn't as smooth and aerodynamic as I'd like. But it's good enough, certainly for now.
The blue colour is just to make it easier to work with; the finished part will probably be c…

A Benchmark for Localizing Code and Non-Code Issues in Software Projects
Accurate project localization (e.g., files and functions) for issue resolution is a critical first step in software maintenance. However, existing benchmarks for issue localization, such as SWE-Bench and LocBench, are limited. They focus predominantly on pull-request issues and code locations, ignoring other evidence and non-code files such as commits, comments, configurations, and documentation. To address this gap, we introduce MULocBench, a comprehensive dataset of 1,100 issues from 46 popul…

Improving Zero-shot Sentence Decontextualisation with Content Selection and Planning
Extracting individual sentences from a document as evidence or reasoning steps is commonly done in many NLP tasks. However, extracted sentences often lack context necessary to make them understood, e.g., coreference and background information. To this end, we propose a content selection and planning framework for zero-shot decontextualisation, which determines what content should be mentioned and in what order for a sentence to be understood out of context. Specifically, given a potentially amb…

Discovery of oxide Li-conducting electrolytes in uncharted chemical space via topology-constrained crystal structure prediction
Oxide Li-conducting solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) offer excellent chemical and thermal stability but typically exhibit lower ionic conductivity than sulfides and chlorides. This motivates the search for new oxide materials with enhanced conductivity. Crystal structure prediction is a powerful approach for identifying such candidates. However, the structural complexity of oxide SSEs, often involving unit cells with more than 100 atoms, presents significant challenges for conventional methods. …

Good Morning #Canada
Like most Canadians I suspect our grocery bill this week will be over budget as we prepare for a family #Christmas dinner and a week of holiday goodies. But help is on the way in January with the implementation of the Grocery Code of Conduct. Colour me skeptical but I'm not sure this is going to solve the issue of high grocery bills. I understand the attempt to eliminate unnecessary costs in the supply food chain. As a former manager in logistics, the fines and charges for missed delivery windows, fulfillment shortages or even the wrong pallets used, are real. But any reduction in supply chain costs will likely be absorbed as profit, not passed on to consumers. A far more effective solution would be an Excess Profits Tax where companies are charged a penalty tax when they earn profit that is unreasonable or above expectations, such as during COVID or a period of inflation.

Bridging Developer Instructions and Code Completion Through Instruction-Aware Fill-in-the-Middle Paradigm

Bridging Developer Instructions and Code Completion Through Instruction-Aware Fill-in-the-Middle Paradigm
Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly advanced code completion, yet they often fail when the developer's intent is underspecified in the code context. To address this, developers usually add natural language instructions (e.g., comments) into the code context to clarify their intent. However, existing code LLMs applied for code completion systems merely undergo a fill-in-the-middle (FIM) pre-training, which struggles to leverage this information effectively due to the lack of instruct…

Good Morning #Canada
The pets have conspired to get me out of bed early, so I'm coffeed up and listening to our #Christmas playlist. I thought I'd share 12 Christmas tunes written and/or sung by Canadians. The ranking is subjective and unserious, so please no arguments as I'm trying to stay off the naughty list. Have I missed anything or anyone awesome? Reply with your favourites and I might add them to my playlist.
12 - Let It Snow - Dianna Krall
11 - Christmas Eve - Spirit of the West
10 - O Holy Night - Céline Dion
9 - Silent Night - Rita MacNeil
8 - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - Michael Bublé
7 - Wintersong - Sarah McLachlan
6 - Old Toy Trains - Susan Aglukark
5 - Good King Wenceslas – Loreena McKennitt
4 - Song for a Winter's Night - Gordon Lightfoot
3 - Huron Carol - Sarah McLachlan
