The text-to-SQL task aims to convert natural language into Structured Query Language (SQL) without bias. Recently, text-to-SQL methods based on large language models (LLMs) have garnered significant attention. The core of mainstream text-to-SQL frameworks is schema linking, which aligns user queries with relevant tables and columns in the database. Previous methods focused on schema linking while neglecting to enhance LLMs' understanding of database schema. The complex coupling relationships between tables in the database constrain the SQL generation capabilities of LLMs. To tackle this issue, this paper proposes a simple yet effective strategy called view-based schema. This strategy aids LLMs in understanding the database schema by decoupling tightly coupled tables into low-coupling views. We then introduce V-SQL, a view-based two-stage text-to-SQL framework. V-SQL involves the view-based schema strategy to enhance LLMs' understanding of database schema. Results on the authoritative datasets Bird indicate that V-SQL achieves competitive performance compared to existing state-of-the-art methods.

In 2021, Elon Musk became the world's richest man (no woman came close), and Time named him Person of the Year: "This is the man who aspires to save our planet and get us a new one to inhabit: clown, genius, edgelord, visionary, industrialist, showman, cad; a madcap hybrid of Thomas Edison, P. T. Barnum, Andrew Carnegie and Watchmen's Doctor Manhattan, the brooding, blue-skinned man-god who invents electric cars and moves to Mars." Right about when Time was preparing that giddy announcement, three women whose ovaries and uteruses were involved in passing down the madcap man-god's genes were in the maternity ward of a hospital in Austin. Musk believes a declining birth rate is a threat to civilization and, with his trademark tirelessness, is doing his visionary edgelord best to ward off that threat. Shivon Zilis, a thirty-five-year-old venture capitalist and executive at Musk's company Neuralink, was pregnant with twins, conceived with Musk by in-vitro fertilization, and was experiencing complications. "He really wants smart people to have kids, so he encouraged me to," Zilis said.

Our relationship with computers will never look the same. Here are the winners and losers. The web, the media, and my email are entirely full of ChatGPT missives and questions. I've spent hours with scores of investors, all wanting to understand the impact on semiconductors and cloud service providers. The hot chatbot's impact will impact everything over the next five years.

So, by now we've all seen Trombone Champ, right? The music game – in which you play a cartoon trombonist making noises that bear only the vaguest resemblance to music – went viral last week; if you've not seen it, here's the tweet from PC Gamer that started it all. I promise that your day will be vastly improved by watching this video. This game is very, very funny. It's "a joke first and a game second," its creator Dan Vecchitto told the Guardian. Part of its comedy is in the presentation – the discordant visual details, the random made-up facts on the loading screens – and part of it is in the sheer ridiculousness of what you're doing and how dismal it sounds.

The future of search is the rise of intelligent data and documents. Way back in 1991, Tim Berners-Lee, then a young English software developer working at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, came up with an intriguing way of combining a communication protocol for retrieving content (HTTP) with a descriptive language for embedding such links into documents (HTML). Shortly thereafter, as more and more people began to create content on these new HTTP servers, it became necessary to be able to provide some kind of mechanism to find this content. Simple lists of content links worked fine when you were dealing with a few hundred documents over a few dozen nodes, but the need to create a specialized index as the web grew led to the first automation of catalogs, and by extension led to the switch from statically retrieved content to dynamically generated content. In many respects, search was the first true application built on top of the nascent World Wide Web, and it is still one of the most fundamental.

A deepfake video featuring Chris Evans as Homelander from Amazon's The Boys recently appeared on Reddit. The 13-second clip from Redditor d4danger includes multiple shots from The Boys, but with Chris Evans, who played Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as Antony Starr's Homelander. The irony of the MCU's Nazi-fighting Captain America's face on the body of Homelander -- who was in a relationship with an actual Nazi in Season 2 of The Boys -- was not lost on viewers. A deepfake video is a popular trend in which the likeness of one person replaces another with exacting detail. There have been several recent deepfakes involving cinematic superheroes, including one with Jon Krasinski taking Evans' place as Captain America, while another swaps Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman with Lynda Carter's version from the 1970s.

Understanding the complex: Robert Mueller did not ride into the sunset wielding a flaming sword while atop a unicorn, having saved the republic after all. Many people are upset that his much-anticipated report did not immediately "fix" everything, but Lili Loofbourow understands why they're frustrated--it's inherently American to place imaginary superheroes on pedestals, after all. As she writes, "Maybe this is inevitable. Instability makes people cling to their prophet of choice." At least we've got the unicorn illustration.)

Fortnite Battle Royale has transcended your average video game to become somewhat of a cultural phenomenon. In fact, the third-person shooter saw a peak 3.4 million concurrent players in March, with the servers buckling under the pressure. Fortnite Battle Royale also holds the record for individual streamer numbers on Twitch with Ninja's stream featuring Drake. Part of that has to do with the popularity of Battle Royale games in general, and part of it has to do with the Epic Games' ability to add small details (like these dances) to a colorful, fun-to-watch world. But perhaps most importantly, Epic Games seems to be obsessive about keeping the game fresh, whether it's adding new player skins, new areas of the map, or new equipment within the game.

Always wanted to be a superhero but lacked the powers? With superpowers like a fail-proof memory, flawless driving skills and the ability to mind-read, you'll soon become the hero your childhood self would have been proud of. Machine Learning is the ability to learn and detect patterns without being told how to do it. Think of it as the way in which kids learn. A five-year old can identify a vehicle as a bus after seeing five buses.

When Terah Lyons arrives at the Flywheel Coffee Roasters in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury, she is greeted so enthusiastically that she laughs with surprise. But this can't have been the first such welcome. Even if you don't know who she is, the ease and poise with which she walks and the warmth of her smile make it hard not to be struck by her presence. And as if on cue, from the speaker overhead comes Alicia Keys' hit song "You Don't Know My Name." In October 2017, Lyons was appointed founding executive director of the Partnership on Artificial Intelligence, a nonprofit started by the world's leading AI companies with the goal of ensuring AI is applied in ways that benefit people and society.
