"...g. In this paper, we systematically study how to enhance the reasoning ability of LLMs for text-to-SQL parsing through chain-of-thought (CoT) style promptings including CoT prompting and Least-to-Most prompting. Our experiments demonstrate that iterative prompting as in Least-to-Most prompting may be unnecessary for text-to-SQL parsing and directly applying existing CoT style prompting methods leads to error propagation issues. By improving multi-step reasoning while avoiding much detailed information in the reasoning steps which may lead to error propagation, our new method outperforms existing ones..."

One potential difference is variance: AFAIU, if

void f(char (*pa)[7]);
void g(int x, char (*pa)[x]);
void h(int x, char p[static x]);
char a[10];

then f(&a) is a constraint violation, and I believe g(7,&a) might actually be UB, whereas h(7,a) is fine. On the other hand, in the latter case

void h(int x, char p[static x]) { p = (char *)&x; }

is legal, so extending that with bounds checks is also not without its problems.

The last two years have seen an increased focus on usability, education and polish now that after circa 15 years of establishing solid foundations are in place. All good things in time.

There’s no venture backed cash here paying for the polish that folks typically see in devtools launched in 2023. That polish is expensive to do and isn’t “fun or engaging” for the majority of developers thus classic open source problem of over indexing on serving the needs/existing people who do not need the polish.

There’s some notable call-outs here of folks putting in serious effort such as https://nix.dev ala https://cachix.org out of love for nix to succeed.

Yeah nix wants to grow, and it is, largest bazaar GitHub community/repo out there right now.

starting to see venture backed companies forming who are building the polish as porcelain over the top and giving back. see https://floxdev.com/

at this stage nix is a damn safe bet because of what it can do, the problems it solves and the size of community.

Maybe related to this but with different framing, I actually think comparing the real world to the ideal can help us prioritize and take steps towards making improvements.

For example: I think abortions should be legal, but in an ideal world the number of abortions would be near zero because access to social safety nets, birth control, and sex education is plentiful.

The thing about reality is that it forces us to deal with engineering constraints, and we have to carefully consider and understand the tradeoffs being made.
I have found the performance tests very tricky to get to pass without having any input from others. The assignment is really very unforgiving, I would wager the test suite is comparable to how commercial Raft implementations are tested (e.g. https://github.com/hashicorp/raft)
"Processed" means different than its natural form.

Examples:

* White flour has the the germ and bran removed, leaving on the endosperm.

* Table sugar has everything filtered out from cane/beat except for the pure carbohydrate.

* Fruit juice has the fleshy parted removed, leaving only the liquid juice.

Obviously:

1. It's a spectrum. Some foods are more processed than others.

2. It's a heuristic to promote good nutrition. Processed doesn't necessarily mean bad, but 4/5 times it facilitates poor nutrition and/or overeating.

Imagine finding an ancient/medieval text discussing evolution by natural selection, the indivisible nature of the atom, heliocentricity, and the existence of a unified theory of physics, all written by an author who lived in the 1st century BCE. Such was the discovery of 15th century manuscript collector Poggio Bracciolini, who discovered a surviving copy of De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things [1]) in a Benedictine monastery. The lost work of Lucretius inspired many Enlightenment thinkers and led people to challenge the orthodoxies of that time.

> It's an imperial war instigated by multiple parties.

No, its not.

Exactly one party launched an unprovoked war of aggression to seize territory from another sovereign state.

EDIT: After, I should add, successfully convincing NATO not to let them in in the interests of regional stability and avoiding provocation (and did the same thing with Georgia, first.)

Turning around 8 years into the war and blaming NATO for provoking the war based on the relation between NATO and Ukraine that developed after the war started, demonstrating the bad faith of the stability argument, is a particularly brazen propaganda move,

The official policy to deprive customers and victims of information as much as possible is shocking from the standpoint of being flagrantly, cynically customer-hostile to the point of probable illegality, but it's right out of both Musk's normal playbook and that of his erstwhile colleagues at e.g. Paypal

For me, cars cross a very key danger threshold, which I express like this: "I am trusting my life to this device by using it. I must trust that it will not malfunction". We are in an era where cars have computer overrides, so that standard needs to be applied to the security and reliability of the computer inside. We are also in an era where computers sold by corporate robber-barons (IE most major corporations) will routinely not merely malfunction, but explicitly, intentionally betray the interests of their end-users for increasingly marginal gains for the company

Even if you trust the company that sold your car's computer, do you trust their security? All their employees? When we are putting computers in devices, like cars, where them operating as expected is life-or-death, those computers need to be auditable by independent experts and controllable by the end-user. To be clear, that unambiguously refers to the person or persons trusting - with their lives - that car operating safely and responding to their commands. We need to mandate open-source, user-owned computers in devices this dangerous, period.
No one is antiwar. Its a non-sensical position. There are just people who want de-escalation in a subset of cases.

Antiwar doesn’t really make any sense because you can’t end wars without fighting in wars. Or surrendering but that proves the “doesnt really make sense” point. It also just encourages more wars in the future. There can be diplomatic solutions but you still have to embrace the war until then.

One of the unsung advantages of having the source available; you just need a compiler and some libraries and suddenly you have a ton of software even in an entirely new architecture.
Honestly, I read the book about 15 years ago and my takeaway at that time was that... actually, It's OK to be nice to people and to let your desire to help them manifest itself. At that point in my life I was kind of a little shit and was utterly paranoid of being taken advantage of and viewed interactions very transactional.

So, yeah... That's not what I took from that book at all. Maybe I should read it again because maybe it's not really as I remember it, since so many people seem to hate it?

And it's equally incorrect to claim that the debt ceiling does not, in any way, have an impact on existing debt, as was claimed by the person I was responding to.

Moreover, the executive's ability to independently trim spending absolutely has limits, and I've seen no credible claims that the executive can service debt costs "indefinitely":

So, forgetting an index and then growth pushing you over the threshold is a valid concern. I think every dev has run into that at some early point in their career.

But what your comment is skipping past is there's potentially a 100x or higher difference in throughput for sequential scans vs indexes. If you know the data will have a bounded size this means indexes aren't necessarily a good choice. SSDs have narrowed this gap a great deal but it still exists because of latency and unpredictable prefecting. It even exists with pure in memory applications. Another key aspect is how much of the data the query ends up touching. If you're hitting 25% of the data anyhow a linear scan is likely faster.

There's also more niche ideas like arranging to convoy multiple queries along one linear scan, something impossible with indexed scans.

It's useful to know about this asymmetry and that sometimes a brute force linear scan is in fact the best tool.
Not even Putin is dumb enough to think that NATO presents a threat to Russia, and even he could have seen the obvious effect that an invasion would have of galvanizing the alliance.

The threat to his regime and its legitimacy is to have a democratic neighbor with russian speakers who live better lives, in what is a former colonial subject of the glorious russian empires.

NATO does make a great bogeyman though for internal audiences, to shift attention away from the futures they are deprived of by dictatorship.

Thank you for the reference. Its author defines a "rogue AI" as:

"an autonomous AI system that could behave in ways that would be catastrophically harmful to a large fraction of humans, potentially endangering our societies and even our species or the biosphere"

and explains that it would also need to be goal-directed in a way which would be at odds with human wellbeing.

Stipulating all that, what is still missing is an explanation of the mechanism by which an AI, rogue or otherwise, could do harm. How is it supposed to affect the world outside its computing substrate?

Absent humans making available the interfaces and resources to do so, it can't. The referenced article includes an example of a genocidal human doing exactly that, and using an AI as a force multiplier. That, as the trope goes, is a social problem, not a technical problem, and it needs a social solution, not a technical one.

Each of the other examples in the referenced article (military AI going rogue, wireheading, amoral corporate AIs manipulating humans) require AIs interfacing with the physical world outside their computing substrate or with the biosphere. Again, because these scenarios remain dependent on humans making available such interfaces, I fail to see how a hypothesized "rogue" AI could achieve any autonomy to do serious damage.

I see this panic about rogue AIs as well-intentioned but misguided, and perhaps exploited by folks who would like to control / diminish / force licensing of general purpose computing.
The Museum of World Religions in Taipei, Taiwan is the most uniquely conceived museum I've ever had the pleasure of exploring. The brainchild of a Taiwanese Buddhist monk who died before it was completed, it aims to explore humanity's shared experience from birth through death, aspects of humanity such as being humbled by the vastness of nature, space and time, and the journey of being dependent, independent, and dependent again as we age. It also celebrates, in a non-denominational way, the religious art and architecture of various religious and philosophical traditions around the world. The architecture and curation are first rate: truly a great experience. Go alone. https://www.mwr.org.tw/
The etymology is legit and comes from ice cream, for which vanilla is considered the default or “plain” flavoring.

Vanilla historically being fancy but then becoming an attainable and cheap additive is probably somewhat responsible for it becoming the default ice cream flavor, and thus flipping the idiomatic meaning.

I think a16z and other SV companies got rich by being lucky in their investments in a low interest rates environment.

"the US sees the comfort and wealth of Chinese people as the biggest threat facing the world today"

This is a pretty crazy thing to say. I am aware that you can find this opinion in Chinese propaganda but what leads you to believe that this is actually true and the US/China tension is not a function of the fact that the US is an ally to most democracies and opposed to most authoritarian states?

I mean, if we just look at a list of who the US calls "adversaries":

Iran

North Korea

Russia

China

ISIS

Are there any trends we can pick out here? Any commonalities?

> And one party instigated by allowing victims of imperial subjugation to seek protection against further imperial subjugation by joining a military alliance... or something like that?

As silly as that sounds as provocation, its not even true. Directly reacting to Putin's requests, NATO denied Ukraine and Georgia MAPs in 2008, leading almost immediately to Russia invading Georgia, and 6 years later—immediately after Ukraine tossed out a Russia-friendly government for one that sought closer ties with the West but explicitly disclaimed any intention of seeking NATO membership (in large part because NATO caved to Russia in 2008), Russia invaded Ukraine.

Debt payments are a small fraction of government revenues. The executive doesn't need to borrow money to make interest payments.

It's also not clear to me the 14th amendment means that the federal government can't default on the debt. A fairer reading is that it means that the government can't repudiate particular bonds. E.g. Biden can't say "I'm not going to pay any bonds issued under Trump."

There is no good north korea timeline. The entire revolution that created it was for the express purpose of putting an idiot dictator in charge, one who immediately went to work on forcing the population to consider him a god king and putting his equally selfish, stupid, paranoid, and vile progeny in charge.

Unless you believe a unified korea without US intervention but still with USSR support would suddenly overthrow that repressive regime, that was never going to produce a free society.
I don't think you understand the history of the area nor what has taken place. Which is understandable if the lens is Western media.

The British were after Crimea 180 years ago. (see charge of the light brigade) It's a big prize. And it had been Russian from the 1700s until 1956. And now it is again. Likewise many of the breakaway republics (until 1920s). And what happened to Russia in the 90s. How the borders of Ukraine came to be. What happened in Kosovo. How American "imperialism" works, and what it is.

That is not to excuse any Russian behavior either. They have traditionally been imperialistic and expansionist. Their neighbors have reasonable cause to fear them.

But this is multiple parties instigating civil war, inserting puppet governments, creating propaganda, stirring up hate and taking sides, arming and providing intelligence for their own gain.

It's not at all just "Evil Russia and we are helping democracy!" in reality. This sentiment, (targeted at the historical and event illiterate) is propaganda to get you to play along, pay for it, fight for it or at least not complain. And the same holds true with whatever Russian media is telling it's citizens. I'm sure it has a very good story about evil imperialists and the misdeeds of the CIA, so that's why the rich should get richer and you should put on army fatigues.

It's an economic war. Like most, or even all wars are in reality.

War is a racket. Always has been. The little people pay with blood, the big people stand to turn big profits and maybe if they are lucky the little people enjoy a favored economic position later at the expense of whomever they subjugated.

It's frankly shocking to me that people don't understand this by now.
