From a very quick search I can't seem to find such a branch. Judging from https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases they seem to occasionally branch release candidate branches from master, every two weeks or so. That's very far from a well-tested master updated several times a day.

Continuous integration for compilers is a well-understood problem. There are posts in this thread explaining how Rust handles it. I understand that it's a royal pain to set up and maintain. I am a compiler engineer and am happy to work on compilation stuff but wouldn't want to touch our CI system with a ten-foot pole. But LLVM is a project driven by Google and Apple, there are really no excuses for not finding the people willing to do this.
The cases per capita in Stockholm are about the same as in most other counties with more than a handful of inhabitants, there are so many cases in Stockholm because many people live there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Sweden#Ad...

The same is true for Norway, with Oslo leading the list and also having the most inhabitants. So there is no difference here between the countries.
That's not even "I was just following orders". Actions have consequences, too, and people are responsible for their actions.
The interface can define a type parameter bounded to Throwable, and declare methods that throw that.

But in general, of course an implementation can't just randomly add checked exceptions, because that would violate the Liskov substitution principle.

> There also seems to be this weird misapprehension (probably not shared by you) that this is the compiler being "out of to get you" for UB.

Of course nobody actually thinks that the compiler is "out to get you". But if you do any work in a security context, that is the attitude you have to take: "If the compiler was lawful evil and trying to put security vulnerabilities into my code, what excuse could it use from the spec to justify doing so?" That's the only way to make sure that you won't get bitten by "well-intentioned" optimizations.

> To anyone (again, not you) ITT complaining that their program 'used to work fine': It just happened to work, but it's been buggy from the get-go. If that's a problem for your ego, then you need to adjust your ego.

This would be valid if what people were complaining about was random cowboy behavior. What people are complaining about is the fact that it is nearly impossible to write code without UB. The fact that UB can result from "trivial things like x+1 where x is signed" is exactly the problem.

Yes, this is a poor example. The declaration of that exception is either a mistake, or a way of reserving some wiggle room for future changes.
If I were using this system I would just have all devices locked by default, and at point of sale the bar code gets scanned, the DB gets updated and when the user boots up their phone for the first time and connects to the internet it verifies the sale. Maybe that's prone to false positives, so maybe they only manually mark phones as stolen, but it wouldn't be difficult.
But surely a general intelligence would recognize that maximizing short term profit at the expense of long term profits has its own set of trade offs. And indeed, that common sense or “je ne sais quoi” would also reasonably indicate general intelligence.

I think the “running a corporation” problem is actually a great example of how to measure a general intelligence not only because it has well defined success criteria but also because of the very open ended and general means by which it must be accomplished. Running a corporation requires communication, setting goals, creativity, number crunching, and lots of soft skills like branding or understanding how consumers/customers will react to things. But there is nothing uniquely human about it except that it needs to be able to make money from humans. Presumably if I’m paying for some well defined service like Search Ads I don’t particularly care if the corporation is run by a robot.

I do agree though that there is a bit of ambiguity here on what “run a corporation” means. I assume that with a lot of thought I could write a very procedural script that somehow incorporates, purchases a property, and rents it through a property management group.

Also, why compare Sweden to France, and not Greece or Bulgaria? Sure, the French and the Spanish and Italians and the UK all had disastrous outbreaks as well, but as Eastern Europe and other places have shown, it didn't need to be that way.

> It's just the latest build that worked correctly, right?

But how would you tell which one that is? I guess even within the current system one could set up a bot that monitors master, and whenever the latest commit builds and passes tests, it updates a "known working" branch. But this doesn't seem to be the case. And if such a system is set up, it would make a lot more sense for contributors to push to a "testing" branch instead of master and then only updating master for working builds, rather than the other way round.

Why do you think that's happened?

You can still compare it to countries like Vietnam, that, at 10 times the population, with a direct border to China and being the first country in they world to have the virus spread outside China, has managed to keep the infection to only ~400 of their citizens, with no deaths at all.

> This drug thing, this ain't police work. I mean, I can send any fool with a badge and a gun to a corner to jack a crew and grab vials. But policing?

I have the same experience. I started with using all the extra keys on the Ergodox, but it was difficult reaching them, including most of the keys in the thumb area.
I have since changed the layout to mimic the altreus layout (with most of the extra keys empty), which works much better. And am waiting for my altreus from keyboard.io to arrive as the extra keys on the ergo actually cause me to miss with the pinky and hit the "empty" keys sometimes.
Never seems like the correct answer to me too. Everyone I've introduced to it outside of CS doesn't see an immediate appeal.

Why do you think Norway will eventually approach the same number of infections as Sweden? Norway only has a few hundred active cases left, and is testing 2 times as much than Sweden. They are on their way to normal life in a few weeks. If new outbreaks occur, they are well prepared to isolate them.

The first and second stages of a Falcon 9 use a combined ~163 000 litres (43 000 gallons) of RP-1 fuel. This is less than the fuel capacity of a Boeing 777-300ER.

So if the Starlink launches happen twice a month, the carbon footprint from the fuel would be at least an order of magnitude smaller than that of a single long haul route of an airline.

Building the satellites and the rocket (including the expendable second stage) is obviously pretty carbon intensive too, but fuel is probably what you were thinking about when posing this question.

For updating its own weights, there is the idea of fast weights (https://arxiv.org/abs/1610.06258).

This idea of updating its own weights is not new. Schmidhuber has done some work on this (http://people.idsia.ch/~juergen/deep-learning-miraculous-yea...). The main idea is also that the model can modify even itself (so not having two separate nets) (see Schmidhuber, "Steps towards `self-referential' learning").

Online learning / continual learning is yet another (orthogonal) topic. This is the setting where new (training) data becomes available all the time, and the model should use that data, i.e. all input (from inference) is used to update and train the model further. This can be done by standard backpropagation. The problem is usually to overcome catastrophic forgetting in this case. See for example: https://deepmind.com/blog/article/enabling-continual-learnin...

I always thought that big compilers (clang/gcc/msvc) have some degree of non-determinism due to myriad of optimization passes in combination with heuristics deciding when and where to use certain kind of optimization. Is that true or not?

And certainly if you define deterministic compilation as always producing the same binary, this is already broken by compiler macros like "__DATE__" and randomly generated names during link-time optimization. [1]

I'm not sure what the unique existential threat that AGI poses is - humans are more than capable of spurring major catastrophe all by themselves.

I say we take a chance; if it doesn't work out well we are probably going to stuff it all up without the help of an AGI anyway, and at least something intelligent will remain if it decides to kill all humans.

I recall this capability existing in the F117A Nighthawk simulator from Microprose in the 90s, you could carry sidewinders but they were close to useless because you needed to open the bay, which made you highly detectable and slower, and you needed to get close which made you detectable.

> You haven't armed the populace, you haven't set up civilian watches, you haven't done any of the things that would happen in a society actually set up to be sustainably police-free

It's amazing how a population that suffers heavily from wide firearm availability (the only civilized country where you semi-regularly have school massacres) thinks that the solution to anything can be "more guns for everyone".

People are often irresponsible, irrational, intoxicated, etc. Making lethal force easily available to everyone won't solve your safety issues - will only make them worse. I think a big reason why cops are so violent in the US is that they need to be - any bum can have a gun and might kill them; that's not a concern for people in Europe, so police can be slightly more relaxed when dealing with a minority that is known to have above-average stats for criminals & general violence (e.g. gypsy here; yes, they may face many discrimination issues that black people face in US, but nobody shoots them just because they have the wrong skin color)
