Yeah, I think in any case you need to end up with your own solution (personal ID numbers are especially messy because a single person might have none or many). However, may I suggest a less verbose format? Parsing JSON looks overkill for the purposes of IDs (I'm assuming this is something you'd want to index)

For example, you could go with `urn:<some prefix for your org>:<your app ID>:id:<entity type>:<ISO CC>:<ID type>:<ID number>`

What's funny is this is how Agile works in a functioning organization. You validate the idea first and quick, and only then iterate with new layers of complexity. Building something the "right" way before ever having seen the product live is called waterfall.

And at that point, I ask what are you burying that is so uniquely valuable that you don't need to access? I guess there are circumstances around cash or coinage that you don't want the government to know about--though that's increasingly hard to spend in large quantities today.

Proving it’s transcendental still requires the bound I was talking about, which to my admittedly very ignorant eyes looks like it doesn’t lead to anything interesting outside number theory. This is unlike the undecidability of halting needed to construct a noncomputable number, or Cantor’s theorem used to show they exist; both are also quite simple conceptually, containing a grand total of one idea each and basically no computations. (The Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem you’d usually use for proving e or π is transcendental at least looks like interesting algebra.)
The biggest advantage of JSON (I believe) is that it was already supported by all web browsers, so it started out as a lightweight communication method with browsers, where in the early days you didn't really want to add an alternative heavy-weight parser.

From a quick google, urn isn't built into browsers. There is a urn-parser package on npm, but it hasn't been updated in 5 years, and has exactly 0 tests. That package tells me to use the URI package, which has an open issue saying it's broken in firefox since 2011!

I have a general policy of not writing parsers wherever possible, as they are (a) really hard to get 100% right, and (b) if no-one can be bothered to keep at least one parser up to date, then it doesn't feel like a well supported language!

Yeah, I don't think the speed performance of FCGI vs CGI is really about spawning in 2023: the benefit lies in the fact that the app can keep state and resources between requests. In particular, it can maintain a database connection all the time (with a retry logic for the case when it gets disconnected).

However, perhaps 15+ years ago I converted an application to an Apache module from a cgi-bin binary and the performance benefit was immense in an embedded Linux device. We certainly were not talking even about tens requests per second in the CGI version.

College teaches you how to memorize stuff and regurgitate it in exams. For practical / understanding-based coursework, it may teach you how to learn stuff, but for the smart students it instead teaches them how to craft an answer to fit a mark scheme. Are those useful skills? Probably. Do you need to spend tens of thousands for to learn them? Probably not.
It is, but it's not easy to cut pi slices of pie without being unfair to others who want to have equal slices of pie. Plus, the effort to be so exact may not be worth the utility. You may hit the true pi limit by random luck too.

I started a side project turned bootstrapped B2B SaaS that was eventually acquired, so I can share a bit of what I learned. Some day I’ll write up a longer list of lessons.

Security - complexity will absolutely kill you. I know it’s fun to experiment with Kubernetes and multi-region infrastructure deployments, but that does nothing but increase your attack surface. When we were acquired, I had a single static website hosted on AWS S3, one RDS database, and a handful of Lambda functions behind an API Gateway. You still need to follow best practices: use TLS for all connections, encrypt customer data, properly segment application users, OWASP top 10, etc. but that’s much easier to do with a simple application. Minimize application dependencies, scan them for venerabilities using free tools like Snyk, and keep things up to date.

Compliance: Depending on your domain, you may need to get a SOC II report at some point. Don’t do it until you need it, but when you do, just pay a company like Secureframe (full disclosure: I’m an advisor for them, but there are other similar companies).

Single Sign On: we used Auth0, which was great until we reached 10(?) enterprise connectors and it went from free to $15k/yr. We then migrated to AWS Cognito. If I did it again, I’d just use Cognito to begin with, but wouldn’t build the integration until you actually have customers asking for it.

Marketing: my weaker spot. I was a developer, so had a skeptical view of marketing. We tried a lot of things (agencies, paywalled content, contract writers, etc). I’m still convinced that the highest impact marketing was deeply technical content (doesn’t even need to be about the product, just the same problem space) that was published on our blog for free with a link at the bottom to our product. Simple and effective. Reddit ads on niche subreddits were helpful, especially with getting early users. Marketing agencies are probably overkill until you’ve got actual PMF.

Sales: you need to do the selling. Don’t hire a salesperson until you’ve got a significant number of users. “But I won’t have time to develop if I’m selling.” Yes, exactly. And you won’t have anyone buying if you spend all your time developing and not talking to users. It’s critical that you personally talk to every user as much as possible.

Pricing: I made the mistake of underpricing the product for a long time. I thought developers would love the low cost model. In reality, their companies were paying, and, when you give someone a company credit card, they’re a bit more willing to pay more for a good product. You can still price lower than the competition to get users in the door, but don’t try to be the bargain app. Monthly subscriptions are good, annual are better, but bring tougher sales cycles (enterprises will want to negotiate the contract, add their own legal terms, etc).

It’s a bit tough to give much more advice without knowing what domain you’re operating in, but hopefully that was helpful!
As you are aware, this is ChatGPT finding and repeating proposals made by people, rather like that person in a meeting who repeats ideas that others have just proposed as if they were their own, so it is not an example of an AI improving itself, and would not be so even if it were able to implement those suggestions itself - the improved version would still be doing the same thing. (Furthermore, note that some of these suggestions, particularly 3, are goals rather than solutions.)

Requiring AIs themselves to innovate in the field of AI would be a stringent test - probably too stringent as a definition of AI, though equally one that would leave little room for doubt that it had been achieved - and all this discussion shows is that TacticalCoder's outline of a test was not sufficiently guarded with caveats to avoid being open to misinterpretation.
I mean, it is strictly informational. I'm just pointing out a fact, that also made a couple of core devs go away.
Discounted future cash flow worked in tech's favour, as giant future money was more appealing than modest current money. And now with interest rates high, that effect has reversed, and modest current money is worth more than distant future fortunes. Tech is particularly well suited to generating the latter.

Would also say that "tech" and actual technology have diverged. "Tech" has become more of a narrative about applying technologies. Technology is progressing, OpenAI is raising on $29B, biotech companies like Moderna are still trading at a premium.
Meanwhile, we still can't buy many STM32s. An H7 project of mine has been on hold for 1.5 years. It's time I learn to program for Espressif.
It's interesting to note that as methamphetamine and amphetamine were more regulated in the 50s and 60s, it became more prevalent. Then in order to stamp out illegal production, the precursor chemicals were monitored. So what happens? Production becomes more dangerous.

Solution: Just make every kind of drug legal to produce, but regulate the purity. Be very explicit about the dangers. The only thing prohibition does is make drug consumption and production dangerous and needlessly expensive.
One of the strengths of building web apps in PHP is that you have this nice "Every pageload starts from scratch" system. Much easier to develop and reason about.

It's a petty that in Python, long running threads are the norm.

> What else is there that sets NetBSD apart?

NetBSD is the continuation of 4.4BSD, or in other words the closest thing to the original Unix that you can run.

Unlike FreeBSD, they still support the original architectures like VAX. Unlike OpenBSD, they haven't deprecated entire subsystems, you could still mount V7 filesystems while listening to music on your bluetooth headset, on the same system.

If you want clean code and a small, performant, traditional Unix working on legacy, embedded and cutting edge hardware, this may be for you.

Those who are after Docker, Ansible, BtrFS and K8S running on powerful AMD64 box will probably find Linux a more suitable option.
Gary Marcus's takes aren't credible, for all the reasons you cited (Forbes contributor... roll eyes) and this, from the interview with Ezra:

>Take GPT-3. ChatGPT itself probably won’t let you do this. And you say to it, make up some misinformation about Covid and vaccines. And it will write a whole story for you, including sentences like, “A study in JAMA” — that’s one of the leading medical journals — “found that only 2% of people who took the vaccines were helped by it.” You have a news story that looks like... it was written by a human being. It’ll have all the style and form, making up its sources and data. And humans might catch one, but what if there are 10 or 100 or 1,000 or 10,000 of these? Then it becomes very difficult to monitor them.

That's absurd. First, because if there's a JAMA study (love how he explains that it is Journal of American Medical Association) that is used to support even mediocre science journalism, e.g. an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal or Newsweek, then it has an inline link to the JAMA study. Both CNN and Fox do similarly! After getting burned enough times, their reporters even learned to distinguish between MedrXiv and peer-reviewed articles. GPT-3 doesn't make fake URLs with fake associated JAMA articles.

Computational journalism has been around for a long time. Gary Marcus underestimates and lacks understanding of humans AND GPT3! If GPT3 spews 10,000 fake, unsourced COVID vaccine efficacy news articles, that isn't an existential risk to humanity.

GPT3 is impressive but it can't do everything (yet?) e.g. it has trouble taking derivatives of funcitons. It will give reasonable sounding answers to StackOverflow questions but the substance will be incorrect. Yes, it's annoying, but the StackOverflow OP will realize and look for help elsewhere. Gary's take:

>Now everybody in the programming field uses Stack Overflow all the time. It’s like a cherished resource for everybody. It’s a place to swap information. And so many people put fake answers on this thing where it’s humans ask questions, humans give answers, that Stack Overflow had to ban people putting computer-generated answers there. It was literally existential for that website. If enough people put answers that seemed plausible but we’re not actually true, no one would go to the website anymore.

Best of all:

>And imagine that on a much bigger scale, the scale where you can’t trust anything on Twitter or anything on Facebook... because you don’t know which parts are true and which parts are not.

Anyone who blindly trusts what they read on Twitter or Facebook has bigger problems than ChatGPT. How naive does Gary think people are?!

EDIT: I am more concerned by coding contests where GPT-3 DOES run circles around human contestants.
