And some states while not having banned it outright have made it effectively impossible to carry out. Oregon IIRC had their execution chamber and death row dismantled when their last governor left office. Execution is still on the books though.
Yes, as I noted.

Frequently this is trivial, sometimes it's not.

If there will be multiple hits but it doesn't matter that much, there's the obvious TOP 1 or MIN(col) and such.

It's a tradeoff between accidentally breaking the query and returning unexpected data.

Note that if you used join you could have bigger issues as the join would succeed but now you got multiple rows where you didn't expect.
Because if OpenAI's technology is as powerful and world-shaking as Altman says, it would be nice for it to be under the control of a nominally pro-social and humanist non-profit organization with safety and equity as paramount goals rather than just another cutthroat for-profit Silicon Valley corporate juggernaut.
It’s possible to write unsafe code in either but it’s also much easier to write safe code in both Pascal and Ada than C/C++. And it’s easier to write safe code in C++ than C. Memory safety exists in a spectrum, it’s not all or nothing.
Idk OpenAI sure makes it seem like they have some secret sauce that others have been unable to catch up to.
I share this view and have to fight strong negative feelings every time I see another technically great innovation that is just used to make people esp. young people ill and suffering. Most young people already are Insta, TicToc and YT zombies with crippled creativity and full of anxiety. Now, Meta is trying to steal the few remaining minutes they just can be human beings and not being abused as consuming bots. If Zuckerberg had the tech he would inject this crap into our dreams and promise us a better world. (I guess with my last sentence I lost the fight against my negative feelings ...)
> Fresh human data feeds at scale are always going to be valuable.

I don't disagree with this but this is a losing battle assuming the perpetual cat-and-mouse game of web scraping continues to lean to the scrapers.

To beat it means raising the walls of the gardens, making "data deals," hoping users don't move to the next thing, and aggressively protecting data via third party legal action.

This all strikes me as a very vulnerable and complicated moat.
Martin, interesting; have you had a look at https://github.com/taskflow/taskflow ?
Speaking for myself, I'm worried that this adventure might lead to human extinction (among other possible negative outcomes), and one of the points of making it a non-profit was to help remove some of the incentives to charge recklessly forward. To that extent, this seems like a step in the wrong direction.
> We have ample evidence that the death penalty hasn’t made America safe from murder. But we don’t know if it has deterrence value for lesser crimes.

You seem to be suggesting that because murders still happen, we know the death penalty has no deterrence value? That's not how deterrence works.
How do you destroy an apartment? It's the same legally as any condo. When you bought it, you promised all the other owners to help maintain the building in exchange for them all doing the same. You need everyone's consent to undo that. You can't get out of a contract because it's a bad deal. Timeshares are just such a bad idea because you dilute the ownership to worthless levels and the management companies add on exorbitant fees of their own.
You write a function. As an example, here's one way to check if you have a valid AWS credential

```
async function main(component: Input): Promise < Output > {
const authCheck = await siExec.waitUntilEnd("aws", [
"sts",
"get-caller-identity",
"--region",
"us-east-1"
]);

if (authCheck.exitCode === 0) {
return {
result: "success",
message: 'Credentials are Valid'
};
}

return {
result: "failure",
message: 'Credentials are invalid. Please check the credentials set on the secret/credentials prop!'
};

}
```
He is believed by multiple crime scene investigators to have worn gloves so what does that matter?
Just use magit and easily make fixup! commits with like 3 key presses. Even if you don't use emacs keeping it around just to use magit is worth it.

Edamagit for vscode users is not as good but it does this particular workflow great.
What's your experience with clinical trials?
This sounds like a cliche stereotypical IT problem. And firstly, not a not a bad thing, because it's new to you. Luckily there are mountains of best-practices for addressing this issue. Picking one feather from the big pile, I'd say your situation screams of Problem Management.

https://wiki.en.it-processmaps.com/index.php/Problem_Managem...

Your on-calls folks need a way to be free of the broader problem analysis, and focus on putting out the fires. The folks in problem management will take the steps to prevent problems from ever manifesting.

Once upon a time I was into Problem Management, and one issue that kept coming up was server OS patching where the Linux systems crashed upon reboot, after having applied new kernel, etc. The customers were blaming us, and we were blaming the customer, and round and round it went. Anyhow, the new procedure was some thing like this... any time there was routine maintenance that would result in the machine rebooting (e.g. kernel updates), then the whole system had to be brought down first to prove it was viable for upgrades. Low-and Behold, machines belonging to a certain customer had a tendency to not recover after the pre-reboot. This would stop the upgrade window in it's track, and I would be given a ticket for next day to investigate why the machine was unreliable. Hint... a typical problem was Oracle admins playing god with /etc/fstab, and many other shenanigans. We eventually got that company to a place where the tier-2 on-call folks could have a nice life outside of work.

But I digress...

> Opex ...

Usually that term means "Operational Expenditure", as opposed to "Capex" or Capital Expenditure. It's your terminology, so it's fine, but I'd NOT say those kind of things to anybody publicly. You might get strange looks.

I'd say let one or two of the on-call folks be given a block of a few hours each week to think of ways to kill recurring issue. Let them take turns, and give them concrete incentives to achieve results. Something like $200 bonus per resolved problem. That leads us into the next issue, which is monitoring and logging of the issues. Because if you hired consultants to come-in tomorrow, and you don't even have stats... there's nothing anybody could do.

Good luck
Friend, this is completely the wrong math on so many levels!

I don't even know where to start... these numbers are not even remotely representative of anything about the larger prison population.

The IP reported receiving 65,600 letters for
assistance, so around ~0.4% of all requests
for help were later proven to be wrongful convictions.

[...]

Assuming the ~0.4% wrongful conviction rate is
representative for this population

For this to be even remotely representative of the overall wrongful conviction rate, this would mean that the IP thoroughly investigated and pursued all 65,600 cases and that new and completely fair trials were conducted in all 65,600 cases.

- The 251 exonerations were obtained by pursuing only a small fraction of those 65,600 cases. Presumably ones where they felt most certain of overturning the conviction.

- The 65,600 letter-writers are surely not representative of the overall prison population; this is a subset of convicts who have the resources to know about the IP and get a letter to them, with some kind of self-belief in their own innocence

- While apparently not true in this case the standards for death sentences tend to be higher than those for other convictions because they are so likely to be appealed, so the percentage of wrongfully convicted people on Death Row is likely to be different than that of the general convict population

- etc etc etc

I don't think your numbers are correct even as a back-of-the-envelope Fermi equation sort of estimate...
It would be great if you could check out Saner.AI - an AI Note app I'm building with more note & AI capabilities :)
What about search engines?
Well, they are experts on dishonesty....
20-years ago, I wrote about India’s National Anthem - Jai Hind. I think because of a new video that was popular then. My blog is at the top on Google when searching for “jai hind lyrics”. This shoots up really high, especially around India’s independence day. I think more and more people these days need to look up the lyric to sing.

Google keep reminding me that this is one of the best performing page visits. So, I have updated it to include more information that will be useful to those looking for it.
Weeellll... I think it's safe to say SQLite's planner is simple, and trends towards "you get what you wrote" rather than having more sophisticated runtime monitoring and adjusting.

But as with all things SQLite, the answer is generally "it's easy to predict so just improve your query" and/or "there's a plugin for that" so it tends to win in the end with a bit of care.
What are the applications in ed?
I've always thought of this as being equivalent to "work hardening"

My concern with it is more about legitimately old code (android is 20ish years old, so reasonably falls into this category) which was written using standards and tools of the time (necessarily)

It requires a constant engineering effort to keep such code up to date. And the older code is, typically, less well understood.

In addition older code (particularly in systems programming) is often associated with older requirements, some of which may have become niche over time.

That long tail of old, less frequently exercised, code feels like it may well have a sting in its tail.

The halflife/work-hardening model depends on the code being stressed to find bugs
not the same thing at all lmao
Is that why they've been barely ahead/losing in benchmarks to anthropic lately?
I'd like to acknowledge that the charts in this article are remarkably clear and concise. A great demonstration of how careful data selection and labeling can communicate the intended ideas so effortlessly that they virtually disappear into the prose.

So the upshot of the fact that vulnerabilities decay exponentially is that the focus should be on net-new code. And spending effort on vast indiscriminate RiiR projects is a poor use of resources, even for advancing the goal of maximal memory safety. The fact that the easiest strategy, and the strategy recommended by all pragmatic rust experts, is actually also the best strategy to minimize memory vulnerabilities according to the data is notably convergent if not fortuitous.

> The Android team has observed that the rollback rate of Rust changes is less than half that of C++.

Wow!
I have nothing intelligent to say, just that I somehow love this idea very much. Somehow visualizing complexity of any kind, helping understanding and refactoring it, is what I constantly have in the back of my mind. Probably a dream of my subconsciousness that is looking for a solution for the complexity (mainly) at my work life.
On call engineers fixing on call bugs is one of the simplest and most straightforward way out of the hole.

You then also have a direct cost of being “on call” accounted for and on the sprint board.
As I understand it, it's also extremely rare for a prosecutor to admit mistakes and that a convicted person is innocent, even when it is sufficiently proven, they tend to double down on bad convictions. In this case the prosecutor said the defendant didn't do it. Which makes this a very rare case.

I just think that it's a silly reason to reject this app.

(And I say that as someone who used to work at Google in the Android org - and I'd make the same comment if the Play Store did it.)
Totally fair POV. I get sense, every time this topic comes up, that people feel that OpenAI somehow owes them to remain non-profit.
Why do I need to be personally invested to think this is a deception? The company was founded as a non-profit and named "Open" AI. It's neither non-profit nor open, and is relentlessly pursuing AGI without regard for regulations or guardrails, which is a pretty clear violation of its stated goal to build "safe and beneficial" AGI.

We're talking about a CEO and a company actively trying to usher in a new age of humanity while demonstrating a lack of trustworthiness. I'm supposed to cheer this on?
The flexibility of Llama models is crucial, for startups in my opinion! Have you thought about taking a product focused strategy, for assistance ?
These two products are indeed very similar.
Assuming you're talking about Rabbit and the Humane pin reviews, those products were garbage and a product reviewer should tell consumers they're garbage, that's literally their job. This isn't the same thing at all because A it's not a product you can buy which they have lied about to get anyone to buy, B it's actually impressive technology.
The "goalposts" are "moving" because now (unlike "mere years ago") we have real AI systems that are at least good enough to be seriously compared with human intelligence. We aren't vaguely speculating about what such an AI system might be like^[1]; we have the real thing now, and we can test its capabilities and see what it is like, what it's good at, and what it's not so good at.

I think your use of the "goalposts" metaphor is telling. You see this as a team sport; you see yourself on the offensive, or the defensive, or whatever. Neither is conducive to a balanced, objective view of reality. Modern LLMs are shockingly "smart" in many ways, but if you think they're general intelligence in the same way humans have general intelligence (even disregarding agency, learning, etc.), that's a you problem.

^[1] I feel the implicit suggestion that there was some sort of broad consensus on this in the before-times is revisionism.
So I should be more clear, my problem with it is that the official app kind of sucks.
Humans have the same limitations, and sometimes they are wrong too.
> At the risk of sounding judgemental, I think this preference for always squashing PRs comes from a place of either not understanding atomic commits, not caring about the benefits of them, or just choosing to be lazy. In any case, the loss of history inevitably comes at a cost of making reverting and cherry-picking changes more difficult later, as well as losing the context of why a change was made.

1) Why are you ever reverting/cherry-picking at a more granular level than an entire PR anyway? The PR is the thing that gets signed-off on, and the thing that goes through the CI build/tests, so why wouldn't that be the thing kept as an atomic unit?

2) I don't think I've ever cared about the context for a specific commit within a PR once the PR has been merged. What kind of information do you expect to get out of it?

Edit: How does it remove the context for a change or make `git bisect` useless? How big are your PRs that you can't get enough context from finding the PR commit to know why a particular change was made?
If only a company other than Facebook could come up with something like that... Sigh.

That's not a novel prediction. There were news reports nearly 2 weeks ago about this: https://fortune.com/2024/09/13/sam-altman-openai-non-profit-...

Gwern's more novel prediction track record is calling everyone leaving from OpenAI (Mira was not expected) and general bullishness on scaling years ago. His post from 2 years ago (https://old.reddit.com/r/mlscaling/comments/uznkhw/gpt3_2nd_...) is mostly correct, though incorrectly believed large companies would not deploy user-facing LLMs (granted I think much of this is reasonably obvious?). And Gato2 seems to have never happened.

His overall predictions? I can find his prediction book which he heavily used in 2010 (https://predictionbook.com/users/gwern/page/2?filter=judged&... Brier score of 0.16 is quite good, but this isn't superforecaster level (there's people with Brier scores below 0.1 on that site).

Overall, I see no reason to believe Gwern's numbers over say the consensus prediction at metaculus, even though yes, I do love reading his analysis.
Since extensions are limited, a nice workaround imo would be to be able to turn canvas view on/off. I'm going to want to go between the canvas and the standard VSCode view, and so if I can do that within Haystack I don't need to have both installed.
That level of detail needs a few hours of scanning and a few dozen of terrabytes of data, along with processing that data to create a model, and then a rig to power that model. Anything less than that, and the uncanny valley creeps up FAST. There's been work on using scans from an iPhone, but with realistic avatars it's really all or nothing.
There were several bugs with MajorBBS and certain door games that allowed people to trade in game credits for BBS time. Trade Wars 2002 had several bugs along the way. One you could script buying and selling a certain ship over and over, which would give you infinite in game credits. Just transfer it over for free BBS time.

Another one set your MajorBBS account to negative credits and had no lower bound. So once you used a door game bug to trigger that, you basically lived like a king because it worked as currency since you could trade credits to other users.

It was mostly to just have free BBS time since I couldnt afford it.

One way could be using this tool: https://github.com/yamadashy/repopack to create an AI friendly file from the repo and if the context window allows, then ask GPT 4o/Claude 3.5 sonnet/o1 questions about it or asking them to describe it.

Note: I am in no way affiliated with the tool, I just found it to be helpful in converting repos to single files.

What song actually is it?
Dopamine hits... I wonder if this explains why the OpenAI folks tweet a lot...
It's kind of weird right, to tweet a lot?

But all these tweets from lower level execs as well.

I mean I love Machine Learning twitter hot takes because it exposes me to interesting ideas (and maybe that is why people tweet) but it seems more about status seeking/marketing than anything else. And really as I learn more, you see that the literature is iterating/optimizing the current fashion.

But maybe no weirder than commenting here I guess though.. maybe this is weird.
Have we all collectively asked ourselves, why do we comment here? It's gotta be

The remote does work. This is an added convenience. To be clear, the remote continues to work. At no point does the remote stop working. If you use your phone to cast, the neighbour can still use the remote to pause. If you don't give the neighbour the SSID, he can still use the remote. Your neighbour does not need to be on your network. If he's on your network the remote and his phone will work. If he's off your network, the remote will work. The remote will not stop working. Hope that clarifies.
If you go all in on atomic commits, you're probably going to be rebasing a lot. IME, that's a lot of time spent trying to make a "clean" history all for the benefit of looking back infrequently at what broke.

Can't you just inspect your merged branches and bisect those instead if using the squash strat?
Ironically this is what prompted me to leave my job and start Haystack! Whenever I looked at code in my IDE my brain was always shouting at me to re-imagine it in a way that made more sense and would involve less mechanical refactoring.

Whenever you have this feeling of looking for a solution in your daily life, you may just have a startup idea on your hands!

It is impressive to me how different our views are. Rather than looking to help with the technology addiction of society (ie people glued to their phones, ipods in ears, walking in the physical world), let’s help them to keep the addiction going but not trip over obstacles while doing so.

I would like to respectfully provide the suggestion of allowing for the use of Arc without being signed into an account. Although I understand browser/device sync is part of most modern browsers, and the value it provides, normally it is a choice to use this feature.

How helpful is it if it points you to a commit with 10 different changes? Will you go back to the PR to see the context of each change, and try to guess where the issue is based on the behavior? You're right back at manual debugging at that point.

This workflow really shines when it points you to the actual atomic commit that introduced the issue. Then you're simply a `git revert` away from undoing it, without risking breaking anything else, barring functional conflicts, of course. Try doing that with a squashed commit.
I was thinking $5-$10 for delivery since drivers are already doing food delivery for much less, and time saved should be worth it for customers.

Damn, that's harsh. And Musk said it cannot joke.
I'm not a fan of "just in case" development. Not when it comes to interfaces and also not regarding this `where 1=1` placeholder. Do things when you need them. Not if you think you might need them someday in the futures. Also, production code is not the place to keep dev helpers around. Do what you want in dev time, but for prod code readability and clear intent is much more important.
