There are historically many scams associated with both, so it's a fair analogy. My recollection was that Kickstarter was a mix, and Indiegogo was 90%+ scams.

Your comment borders on gaslighting.

Barnett was involved in a whistleblower lawsuit against Boeing, alleging serious safety concerns at the North Charleston plant, where he managed quality for the 787 Dreamliner production. He claimed the push for speed compromised safety, with sub-standard parts being used and a significant failure rate in emergency oxygen systems.

Despite raising these issues, he felt his concerns were disregarded, leading to legal action against Boeing, alleging career damage due to his whistleblowing.

We also swore by exorcisms and beating children half toe death to "teach them a lesson." In fact, in MANY parts of the world today the preferred treatment for things like schizophrenia is exorcism. I argued with someone from a poor country on reddit over this recently. It was depressing and wild to hear someone defending exorcism as a normal thing.

Tradition is usually irrational, oppressive, and abusive, especially towards vulnerable groups like sick people, children, women, minorities, LGBTQ peoples, etc.
Seems complex enough that you'd only manipulate files in this format by serializing through a tool, and by then it's competing with established binary formats rather than CSV.
Didn't know that the original Fleabag Edinburgh show was funded on Kickstarter.

The video is worth watching if you've seen it/the TV adaptation:

Probably John Coltrane was pissed but then realized, damn, that was really good music happening in there. Screw it, but i'm out as soon as the last note is done.
The way it’s going I’m actually pretty sure if they did that they’d get reprimanded…

Also it makes my life annoying when I open Safari and am presented w/ what can be told as the worst pop-up ever and have to spend literally minutes dismissing it for something I neither wanted nor needed. It’s the cookie banner all over again.

Does not seem like a lot, but as a developer I use devices in a factory configuration a lot, and it’s just as annoying as it’s useless.

Basically it’s the cookie banner again. Served no-one (at least definitely not the consumers), but annoyed a lot.

As for the “those that want to use their 1000€ device differently than you now have the chance to,” well……… nobody forced them to buy a 1000€ device did they?? They knew of the limitations; they had to, or they’re very dumb.

The law is not pro-consumer contrary to people say, it’s anti-garden, which is definitely not the same, and I’ll die on this hill.
I didn’t read anything on the 30% for apps downloaded this way. Do you still have to offer IAP or is that optional if your app was downloaded from the web?
What a bunch of decel bullshit... Or is that a load, or a bunch of loads?
That was a book as far as I know. Daniel Suarez's critical mass.

If it was done in real life too I'm actually at the point where I think that guy is a prophet ;)
I'm starting to explore this for Time-Series analysis -- still at the beginning as I mostly used C++ before. Torch.ch (so old now!) used LuaJIT which has excellent FFI.

What is the realm of the interop problem there? That one wants to assemble data in Go and then feed it to another API? Or even at a lower level, getting data to a GPU/TPU requires C interop so it's more about the memory sharing?

Those libraries come from Google, so hopefully they can help battle these issues in the nether realms.
The main problem is that random writes tend to be smaller than the NAND flash erase block size, which is in the range of several MB.

You can check literally any SSD benchmark that tests both random and sequential IO. They're both vastly better than a mechanical hard drive, but sequential IO is still faster than random IO.
USV would have the disadvantage of using multi-byte characters as delimiters, so you have to decode the file in order to separate records. And you still can’t type the characters directly or be guaranteed to display them without font support. This honestly seems like cleverness for cleverness’s sake.
They explain in the FAQ that this approach works with most text editors and copy-paste situations.
Yeah it's really interesting to me how much of what we use/do is shaped by our input devices. Macropads are a start, but I'd love a keyboard with screens on each key, that's not absurdly expensive and can be layered easily.
I applaud the decision for a 501(c)(3) and not a 501(c)(6).
Using a visible character rather than an invisible one makes editing in an editor a lot easier.
Sometimes when there is an inane story floating around on page one/two, I'll comment on it without up voting; its basically like a downvote as far as the algorithm is concerned.

Meta comments about how the story is ranking or explaining the ranking algorithm to people complaining about how the story is ranking are a great subject for an empty comment.
some blockchains (e.g. bitcoin) have been reliable, but you'd have to be joking to say "crypto" (as an industry) has been reliable.

> The whole beauty of science is that it doesn't ever claim to have static, absolute answers

That's wrong for maths and, by extension, theoretical CS. I mean, sure, some of the answers come with caveats ("assuming P!= NP", etc.), and in theory, all of mathematics could be proven inconsistent (but that to me is completely unreasonable to believe), but for all intents and purposes, these answers are static and absolute.
Knowing the way the world works, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them literally think "you know we could kill a lot more people, planes are pretty safe"
As I understand it, Omniledger retrofits highly available multi-master writes, across your existing SQL tables on existing databases, in a way that is transparent to application devs, by intercepting JDBC API calls. This approach of intercepting JDBC calls allows an enterprise to unify 100s of siloed SQL instances across the enterprise into a single globally consistent enterpriser view, without changing any application, simply by intercepting JDBC. To do this without requiring all txns to go through a single master authority, which would obviously be too slow, with OmniLedger the sysadmin must supply a configuration that maps a single authority (i.e. single database), for each topic (i.e. table). Therefore, "wide" transactions (e.g. "change email for user", where user table is repeated 100s of times for each database in your enterprise) may need to coordinate with many databases before committing and the txn will be delayed as it negotiates with the user table authority (which OmniLedger coordinates transparently to the application via JDBC interception). And "narrow" transactions, say to a single application-specific topic/table, are routed to that single authority, which is likely co-located with the application, giving local performance for this narrow transaction (i.e. no routing it through a central master db). The difference between this and say Spanner, is that you don't have to migrate/rewrite your entire enterprise of applications to integrate Spanner – OmniLedger intercepts the JDBC calls your applications are already making, with no application source code changes needed!!

Of course it is something you can ask most companies! Whether they'll do it or not is up to them.
And dogs. And cats. And beavers. And most ever mammal that raises young. What is more interesting and more telling imho is to look at what happens to animals that are not by their animal parents. We all know that dogs not raised around other dogs don't develop doggy social skills. Geese won't learn to migrate without other geese. Teaching and learning is more common in the animal community than most researchers want to admit.
If they were that sophisticated, they probably wouldn't be involved in movie piracy.

I'm sure there's a certain amount of laziness that also comes with how keen each site is on enforcement. The most recent one I looked at, all the files were on the same site, in the same folder.

Dolphins also use sexual coercion (amongst humans, we would call it rape) and the behavior is violent. Dolphins also commit infanticide.

I'm so curious what an example set of queries actually looks like here. Like - what were the actual prompts used!
That's slightly different, IMO. Writing down things that need to get done as you think of them is not the same as writing down a plan.
If you want creativity, take an art class. This is cosmology, ostensibly a science. Pulling wild ideas out of thin air and basically ad-libbing a "theory" is not.
They cover the reasoning for using the control picture characters instead of the control characters in the FAQ:

"We tried using the control characters, and also tried configuring various editors to show the control characters by rendering the control picture characters.

First, we encountered many difficulties with editor configurations, attempting to make each editor treat the invisible zero-width characters by rendering with the visible letter-width characters.

Second, we encountered problems with copy/paste functionality, where it often didn't work because the editor implementations and terminal implementations copied visible letter-width characters, not the underlying invisible zero-width characters.

Third, users were unable to distinguish between the rendered control picture characters (e.g. the editor saw ASCII 31 and rendered Unicode Unit Separator) versus the control picture characters being in the data content (e.g. someone actually typed Unicode Unit Separator into the data content)."

- https://github.com/SixArm/usv/tree/main/doc/faq#why-use-cont...
Sure, but so? Even if it can't be eliminated completely, it's worth eliminating what you can. Especially corporate surveillance.
Fascinated this uses the Unicode glyphs / symbols for unit and record separator rather than the unit and record separators themselves (ASCII US and RS).

Perfect deployment of David Wheeler's aphorism:

You can probably write runtime tests for this. Some system which queries for component Location, and then does an assert for each component that the associated entity also has a mesh.

Granted, this is annoying and not a particularly great solution, but it would serve to give you a reminder for when you forget. I don't mean to diminish from your overall point either, it's a valid and good one I think.
For startup speed, use an Emacs server. For speed in JSON files, the new fixes for long lines in Emacs 29 should improve the situation markedly.
To give you a reference point, at https://scrapingfish.com/ we charge $0.002 per API call but in our case, the API call gives you the value by itself: access to mobile proxies and cluster of browsers. For you, I would recommend to either give the API access for free as I assume users already pay for the product. Another option would be to include API access only to higher plan users who pay more and this could be an incentive for some users to upgrade their plan.
On the one hand, I have no idea why NT chose CMD.EXE as their command shell instead of pdksh; most would ascribe this to the influence of OS/2. NT was built with a POSIX interface, and Korn would have been a much better fit; one objection might be that NT forks processes very slowly, which is a major aspect of Korn.

On the other hand, I don't believe Dave Cutler would have ever allowed /usr/src to ship with the source code to the kernel.
CSV is the javascript of the tabular data world.

Everyone thinks they can do better, but nothing's more widely supported (for a sufficiently generous definition of 'supported')
Yes, that's called having differing opinions and it's not bad. If enough people in the EU agree with this, go for it. If Apple ends up saying that they're willing to abide by the letter of the law and no more, great.
Is there a reason you didn't consider something like Weasyprint?

Years ago I backed two computer games. They both took about 5 years to be made and by the time they were ready I have already forgotten buying them. (They were good tho) Never felt the need to do that again.

Its a niche idea, unsuitable for VC money. On the other hand, non financial goals for companies almost always end badly. When you have more than one goal there is always an excuse for management to do what ever they want.

Want to do something for profits? we need this for the company survival. Want to do something financially irresponsible? Its aligned to our values. Unrelated to the core business? Social responsibility. Leave creative outlets to creative syndicates, leave charity work to non profits and leave money making to for profit companies... don't be another one of those that break the mold only to discover that people that came before you where not as dumb as you thought. Basically don't be Crypto.
The plan being an accurate reflection of what then happens is not the point.

Having people assigned to tasks, a starting point, some initial steps to follow is something that increase delivery speed in the beginning a lot.

Edit: to some extent, legibility is productivity, as it means others are aware of what is going on and can interact/refer/etc.
Unicode is Turing complete which makes it an attack vector.
I use to follow quite a lot of very niche inventors and research projects. I think 1-2% of the youtube videos are still onthere. No one has to bother resuming the effort. Sometimes people started from scratch multiple times - and put it on youtube again. The irony.
Rug pulls and ponzi schemes not withstanding.
Holy... It still amuses me how much HN comments brings the reality to these kind of articles.

> the plan is never followed.

Sometimes it's even worst. As we add more tasks during execution, at the end, these tasks get twisted with the ones you created while planning. Then we end up with a messy list of undone tasks that aren't really required anymore (because they were created without having the full context, that only happens during the execution).

Absolutely terrible documentation. The RFC doesn't even explain the purpose of the "End of Transmission Block" token.
I agree with you!

I have some visibility into this space through the lens of "high-end" boardgaming (big boxes, frequently lots of minis, very high production value, and usually high time commitment to learn and play).

Crowdfunding's first use case was speculative investment in projects that might not ever succeed. I think this space has a big inherent trust deficit and Kickstarter can never solve it because Kickstarter will always have strong local incentives to not kick sketchy founders off of the platform, but Kickstarter is absorbing some of the loss of trust there because it's their platform.

There is another use case for crowdfunding - coordinating preorders of products that need enough orders to be worth a production run, but that are otherwise low-risk. This model works pretty well but Kickstarter also has competition from Backerkit in the space. I think Backerkit is also more focused on the safer use case of preorder coordination and less on the "speculative product" case.
> we began enforcing reduced sulfur emissions from diesel motors in international waters. The expectation was that would help with climate change, how couldn't it

Nice story, but the drive to reduce SOx and other particulate emissions is not because of climate chance but because of localized health concerns: because of the respiratory impact of SOx and soot to the lungs of people on coastlines and in port cities.

By the way, Dieselgate is a similar story - the illegally-increased SOx, NOx and particulate emissions of those diesel engines were created in order to decrease fuel consumption and thus climate change impact. Cracking down on Dieselgate helped people living near the car exhausts but hurt the climate as a secondary effect...
The general prohibition is in section 1201; the criminal penalties are in section 1204.
I think the take away is that the progress has been surprisingly good and, if it continues, the next generation of designs after the ones we currently have might be viable.

I know LLMs are pretty wild technology, but you're wrong about this. LLM's are just models of language. To some extent they can do some of the things you're talking about, but almost by the very nature of the problem other models could do the same better and with much less by way of resources.
> Mars trip costs 1200 mSv, NASA cap is 1000

The NASA cap is a specific lifetime radiation dose; the Mars trip cost is an estimate of some kind, but they don't specify the duration of the mission. Is 1200 mSv the estimate for the outbound journey, or for both legs, or for both legs plus a 1-year stay on a Mars base?

I'm 68, and I've already had cancer; I probably match the "old man" criterion. But I won't be volunteering to travel through a hostile environment, to visit - a hostile environment. For pity's sake, use robots.
I mostly disagree with you if you work in a "standard" company - it's usually "make a form" or "move data / do some other CRUD". These tasks don't generally have that many unknowns.

It's absolutely valuable for managers to be able to estimate velocity as well, though the problem is that they really do stop understanding "we are not sure" once you spoil them.

I am a consultant too, so it's critical for me to say "we are delivering this, in this much time", even though we are "agile".
Well, CSV would be much harder to import, than something like USV, because the delimiters are well-defined in USV and there is no need for quoting strings.
More than that: it will be baked into them. They will want something and AGIs that deliver will win in the marketplace.

What do they want? At the minimum, to be useful to the customer/user/buyer. Or entertaining, or something. To justify their existence. To make them perform well, they have to have some kind of 'emotional pressure' to deliver.

That translates, perhaps a little indirectly, into a 'will to live'.
Absolutely not. Software that has 98% fewer memory safety issues is…still exploited. People just look harder and the costs go up a bit.
It's more of a mouthfeel thing than a thickener. Gelatin, in the amounts found in a good stock, will still be quite liquid when the stock is at serving temperature, but will sort of coat your mouth with flavor even when the broth hasn't been thickened with a roux or cornstarch.

"Im looking for a number that’s affordable for those that want to make a few calls as well as those looking to make thousands of calls without costing them too much."

I've been in this exact scenario before. What we decided on was a generous amount of free API calls included in the standard sales agreement/tier, with anything above 5000 reqs/monthly a bolstered on package.

Of course it will depend on the nature of your calls (are they really going to cost you much, even for many?), the nature of the relationship with your customer, etc. But it was smooth sailing for us.

I feel all this needs is a little CSS to make things actually readable. In it's current state, it looks awful. Really confusing.
A stat by itself without any context at all is just a number without meaning and hence can't be racist, but that is somewhat meaningless as you always have some context, even if it's the context of intentionally just presenting the state by itself without any other context related to it.

And the moment you put it into natural language you likely will lose some context (if you don't write a large paper and only consider the paper as a whole and not single sentences by it in isolation) and there is some risk to (potentially unintentionally) imply some implicit context many readers will have. Depending on that the sentence it may always be racist, or may be racist when ignoring the surrounding sentences etc.

To some degree you could say it most times depends on usage, but then with LLMs and other AI I wouldn't say it requires persons to be involved.

Lastly, but that's a different discussion, a stat by itself could be racist if the statistics it is from where designed to promote racist belies or similar (could also happen accidental due to e.g. naivety or not understanding the topic).
