Lately I've been experimenting with using TDD approaches for LLM assisted coding. There is a little bit on YouTube and some research papers on this topic. But most of it relates to how well you understand the test suites for the given language / framework to ask for the tests to be designed in the right way.

This has been great in gpt-4o for python because it has a built in interpreter. So I can describe the way I want the API to look, ask it to write tests in Python, write the code to satisfy those tests, and then run the unit tests in it's own local python env to see if the code works.

This streamlines things a lot. I find I can get working artifacts from gpt this way when other I often have to have a bit of a back and forth where I'm the one testing and pasting in errors.

For gpt-4o this only works with python though (for now).

It might be interesting to build a platform like this, even in your local laptop that allows the LLM to shell out to a sandbox for something like React with the unit tests configured so the LLM can run them and get the output.

Interestingly, frameworks like react also have test suites around ui/ux concepts. I haven't tried it, but I think it would be interesting to use that same approach with those test frameworks to attempt to get better looking frontends (something the LLMs are not especially good at out of the box)

For an even more urgent example of this in action right now, see how Mexico City is currently sinking at an incredible rate: https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/06/0...

"Some areas in Mexico City are slipping as fast as 20 inches a year in recent decades, according to researchers. Overall, the clay layers under the soil have compressed by 17 percent in the last century. A culprit for the uneven sinking in Mexico City, researchers say, is pumping water from underground. The water extraction enables the porous soil to compact and depress. Because more than half of the city’s water supply comes from underground aquifers, its leaders have struggled to tackle the problem. Most of this sinking, the researchers say, is irreversible because the Earth is still compacting and responding to the ways water was drained a long time ago. Cabral-Cano and his colleagues project the land is going to sink another 100 feet over the next 150 years."

This reminds me of people in the past comparing computers as another brain because circuit network is similar to brain. I guess it is not impossible to construct one neural net.

It would be crazy to see a madlad tunes every neuron to make a proof of concept though.

>The Emergencies Act has nothing to do with war

War is the obvious example that meets 3(a) and 3(b), because the Emergencies Act replaced the War Measures Act, which was designed to give the government wide latitude for authoritarian actions desired in wartime.

>The Act mandates an inquiry be called after any invocation, and the inquiry in question found that the use of the Act was justified:

The inquiry in question (led by a longstanding party member) found reluctantly:

* I do not come to this conclusion easily, as I do not consider the factual basis for it to be overwhelming. Reasonable and informed people could reach a different conclusion than the one I have arrived at. [1]

In part, because the definition you cited is not the entry point for the federal proclamation, which is actually at s.16 of the act:

* §16 In this Part, declaration of a public order emergency means a proclamation issued pursuant to subsection 17(1); public order emergency means an emergency that arises from threats to the security of Canada and that is so serious as to be a national emergency; threats to the security of Canada has the meaning assigned by section 2 of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) Act.

Even though the Canadian government was told by CSIS at the time:

* Canada's intelligence agency didn't believe the self-styled Freedom Convoy constituted a threat to national security according to the definition in its enabling law [2]

And comparatively, the last time this level of power was invoked domestically it was in response to separatist terrorism culminating in the murder of a government official. [3]

>Was the "health or safety of Canadians" at risk? Did it "exceed the capacity or authority of a province" (Ontario under Ford)?

The criteria is not just "at risk" but "seriously endangered". The commission's report, in my opinion, takes a tortured approach to justifying the meeting of this threshold.

I actually agree.

The AGPL, for something like this, is a total non-starter, IMO, and just changes the conversation.

It'd be one thing to choose the AGPL because you believe in the FOSS movement. Or if you're releasing something end-users can benefit from, directly, by self hosting it.

To release something that will always be a component of something bigger, license it as AGPL, then talk about monetization… just cut the chase and release it as “source available,” with a licence people can actually use, even if it has a bunch of not-really-FOSS strings attached.

Because who can realistically use this as is? Who can download the source and actually do something with it? What AGPL-compatible FOSS project is dying to use a drop-in AWS SQS replacement?

While I certainly see how the story could work as a direct allegory (contents of room = weights; closing eyes = wiring randomly; believing the room empty = believing there are no weights)... FWIW, I always took it much less literally.

Sussman has written a whole program to play Tic-Tac-Toe: two players, a 3x3 grid, players alternate turns, the game ends under such-and-such conditions, etc. etc.; and then he thinks that by such a superficial gesture as wiring the net randomly he somehow creates a tabula rasa with no "preconceptions of how to play." Minsky points out, by an equally superficial gesture, that giving up control over one minor aspect of the program (the wiring, the ability to see with one's eyes) really has nothing to do with the issue at hand (how much "understanding" of Tic-Tac-Toe has been baked into the program, how many things exist in the room).

Or, to put it back into koan form:

One day, Sussman wrote a program that had no preconceptions of how to play Tic-Tac-Toe.
The following day, Sussman wrote a program that had no preconceptions of how to play chess.
His two programs were not the same.

MQD was applied in FDA v. Brown & Williamson in 2000. That decision cited a 1986 law review article by future Justice Breyer: Breyer, Judicial Review of Questions of Law and Policy, 38 Admin. L. Rev. 363, 370 (1986) ("A court may also ask whether the legal question is an important one. Congress is more likely to have focused upon, and answered, major questions, while leaving interstitial matters to answer themselves in the course of the statute's daily administration").

I do wonder how you know you closed 2,000? The UI displays an infinity symbol over 99 tabs. If you had so many open, most of those would have been moved to inactive. The inactive tab section doesn't have a count and has a button you can click to close all.

Makes me sort of wonder whether you are actually using it.

Interesting! That's analogous to some recent work in chemistry. Historically, there was a string representation for molecules called SMILES, which is fairly terse and, when canonicalized, maps from strings to individual molecules (2D topology). However, not all strings are valid SMILES. Recent work with autoencoders to turn SMILES strings into a vector representation via embedding creates models that often generate invalid SMILES strings (the popular paper about this glosses over this fact). For example, if your training set includes both bromine (represented as Br) and chlorine (represented as Cl) and you generate random vectors, they might decode to contain Bl, which is an as-yet unmade element. This is not desirable (although opinions vary).

As a result, the group that published the earlier work developed a new compact representation known as SELFIES (https://github.com/aspuru-guzik-group/selfies) where it's effectively impossible to generate invalid decodings of strings (every SELFIE string decodes to a valid molecule).

I'm not sure what the terminology for these sorts of features of encodings.

There is a pretty substantial difference between eminent domaining the land required for rail, and taking much more than necessary so that the state can flip it for a profit.
>I'm not sure what that has to do with this discussion at all, though

I would argue that is the central claim. Something can be law and ambiguous. The role of the court previously was to ensure the first part: that the law is Constitutional. Outside of Maybury I don't think anyone is disputing that. The difference is that this now says the arbiter of ambiguity is now the court.

Not everything related to interpretation should be up to the court. The court's primary role is in determining constitutionality; that is a much more narrow scope than what you're presuming. In many (most) court rulings, they are very deliberate in keeping the scope as narrow as possible. This ruling is one of the exceptions, not the rule. But you don't have to take it from me. Justice Kagan states:

"Some interpretive issues arising in the regulatory context involve scientific or technical subject matter. Agencies have expertise in those areas; courts do not. Some demand a detailed understanding of complex and interdependent regulatory programs. Agencies know those programs inside-out; again, courts do not...In one fell swoop, the majority today gives itself exclusive power over every open issue—no matter how expertise-driven or policy-laden—involving the meaning of regulatory law. As if it did not have enough on its plate, the majority turns itself into the country’s administrative czar."

>Congress -- not the domain experts in the regulatory agency -- used specific language to establish and circumscribe the scope of the questions that agency's authority would extend to.

I don't think this is correct. The court has acknowledged that Congress cannot make perfectly unambigious laws. The question is about who gets to clear up those ambiguities. Again, the role of the court is best suited to what they have expertise in: determining constitutionality. Defining what an "emission source" (or any other domain expertise question) is outside that scope.

I would argue that becoming an "administrative czar" oversteps the bounds of a judiciary responsible for determining constitutionality to one that blurs the lines with the executive branch. In Kagan's words, it becomes an act of "judicial hubris."
Foundation is why I don't think they'll do Gibson justice.

To me, William Gibson is rare among sci-fi writers in that he never spends a paragraph explaining some whiz-bang future tech like a kid with a new toy. He just throws it all at you as part of the background. The world of Neuromancer goes by in a haze of analog static. It's a trip, and one that might be going bad. As the instigating work of the cyberpunk genre, it got people to stop and consider that maybe the future wasn't just going to be things getting better. The characters don't dwell on how we got here, and the narrator doesn't waste time explaining. The blunt poetry of the text tells you what you really need to know and what you need to feel. He doesn't waste words painting a picture of neon and microchips for you to ogle at in your mind's eye; Gibson is up to something else. This future isn't one you really want to live in.

The Foundation TV show ignored most of Asimov's writing and gave us fifty million dollars worth of planetscapes, and spaceships, and holograms, and don't forget the giant explosions.

And I'll bet they'll do the same to Gibson. They'll comb through it looking for things to spend their CGI budget on, and throw out the rest.

(In practice you can get away with not doing this, although some carriers are making moves to eventually disallow devices whose TACs can't be tied to a carrier certification.)
