This is such an incredible development, if you know barn owls. Manhattan is not a great fit for them. Somehow this one family seems to think "if I can make it here, I can make it anywhere".
One of my favorite things about NYC is there's always a cool Bird story. ❤️

“OpenAI has canceled the release of its new model, GPT-6.1 Astra, according to The Wall Street Journal. It was due for launch in October and was going to debut inside ChatGPT and Codex, but it reportedly showed higher levels of deception than its predecessors during internal testing.
Saachi Jain, who leaves OpenAI's safety training, said that GPT-6.1 Astra performed poorly on tests that measure how well it adheres to instructions. It also wasn't honest about telling testers the actions it did and didn't perform in order to achieve its goal.”

Our new @postgres_ai harness for Postgres hacking/testing keeps findings bugs in PG19 and bringing patches. So I keep sending them to -hackers.

“As the days went by, dogs became sad when they were no longer finding people alive.”
More than 300 dogs helped search for survivors on 9/11. In fact, the last person rescued at ground zero was found by a search and rescue dog.
The search was mentally and physically taxing on the dogs, who walked across huge piles of debris and smoldering rubble. As the days went by, dogs became sad when they were no longer finding people alive. So, to keep their spirits up, their handlers staged mock rescues. They would have people hide under debris for dogs to find. This boosted the dogs’ morale as they continued their work.
In addition to rescue dogs, therapy dogs were brought to the scene to provide comfort to emotionally drained and traumatized police officers and firefighters.
Dogs are the best thing in the world and we do not deserve them.
