Custom / Reorder pinned chats
Title: Feature Request: Ability to Custom Reorder Pinned Chats in Sidebar Description: Currently, pinned chats in ChatGPT sort themselves based on the most recent activity or the order in which they were pinned. For users who rely on pinned chats to manage ongoing projects, recurring workflows, or daily prompts, this automatic ordering can be disruptive. I would like to request the ability to custom-reorder pinned chats in the sidebar. Suggested Functionality: Drag-and-Drop: Allow users to click, hold, and drag pinned chats up or down to set a permanent, manual order. Static Positioning: Once a user sets the order, it should remain fixed regardless of which pinned chat was updated or used last. Visual Dividers (Optional): The ability to group pinned chats or separate them would add even more value. Why this is helpful: This improvement will greatly enhance productivity for power users. It allows us to organize our sidebar by priority, project phase, or frequency of use, creating a much cleaner and more predictable workspace.

One attention head carries knight forks in a chess transformer, and here's a new toolkit that found it.
Quick interp demo in colab : Localize knight forks to a single head in Maia-3 with logit-lens and per-head ablation. https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1YYZBd_SZbjOscRXIqJUbfCaY7rRbEzWx?usp=sharing (This is a demo of the library's capabilities so the sample size is tiny... much more analysis is done in an upcoming paper, for instance we mine hundreds of forks and show that ablating head 5 costs 2.78 logits whereas every other head in the layer costs ≤0.14) Interactive app demo challenge: The quickest way to run and reproduce the image state is: python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate pip install git+https://github.com/CSSLab/maia3 #Maia -3 not pip installable yet pip install "chessformer_lens[all]" #then run the app at 23m, set Elo to 2400, and input FEN: 4kb1r/p2n1ppp/4q3/4p1B1/4P3/1Q6/PPP2PPP/2KR4 w k - 0 16 chessformer_lens 23m Try to use move microscope (bottom middle window) and ablate this head ( top right button ) to determine which head is most causally linked to carrying the stunning queen sacrifice. Bonus points if you can name this legendary game! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The chessformer_lens library The github repo is https://github.com/chessformer-lens/chessformer_lens , and it is pip installable.

Science funding and unnecessary fear | Letters
Prof Stephen Blundell on the plight of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, and Peter Forbes on bacteriophages and AI Much of the commentary about the UK Research and Innovation science funding cuts has centred around the threatened closure of Jodrell Bank, with the iconic Lovell telescope rightly identified as a “source of wonder and pride” ( Letters, 31 July ). Less visible, but no less important, is the world’s most intense source of pulsed muons, at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. Muons are particles which are used to answer fundamental questions about magnetism, superconductivity, battery materials, and many other questions of scientific interest and societal importance. UK scientists have been in the forefront in developing these techniques, yet this unique facility is also under threat by these cuts. Prof Stephen Blundell Oxford • With the harms of AI apparent all around us, it’s unfortunate that when something really promising for human medicine is in prospect, editors reach instantly for the “fear” button ( Safety fears as scientists make first viruses designed by AI, 6 August ). The viruses in question, bacteriophages, are the natural enemy of bacteria, have been used in medicine for over 100 years, and can already combat disease-resistant bacteria. Engineering bacteriophages to turn them into a really effective treatment for general use has been ongoing in many labs for decades. If there’s one task AI ought to be employed in, above all others, this is it. Peter…
