I've read all this and I saw no description of failure modes and operationally how they are resolved. "If a node disappears just replace it with a new one". Ok, how?
It’s a common trope that “we are no different from animals,” but this is not true. Of course we are.

Far more interesting than the fact that animals “can” ape behavior is how they do - and how that differs from humans.

Check out the work of Richard Byrne [1]. Our best theories suggest that the way primates share behavior is through literal parsing and replication of sequences. A chimp is able to watch a fellow chimp complete a complex maneuver to open a nut, and can replicate that sequence. But the sequence can contain odd moves that obviously have no effect, and those moves too will be replicated. This signals a lack of understanding. Primates use an advanced copycat mechanism, which makes innovation very slow.

The way humans learn and transfer behavior is vastly different. We watch another complete a task and develop an explanation for how it works. Our reproduction isn’t us following a literal sequence, but using our understanding/mental model to solve the task. For example, if I watch a complex sequence to open a tricky nut, I’ll have developed a model for the physics of the nut, weak points, ways to get leverage, etc. I might memorize and repeat your sequence, but I might also get creative with my own method, knowingly or not.

And, of course, we can do this one-shot.

It’s the difference between a parrot mirroring words and a person retelling a story they heard.

We are super different than animals, and denying that fact will hide important secrets about knowledge and creativity.

Its incredible to me that educated adults are taking long-distance manned space travel seriously. Its comically absurd and Dr. Strangelovian that people are floating "Send old people who will probably die soon" as a viable fix.

This is a job for robots and especially with new AI advances. Trying to fit the biology evolution created for Earth for non-Earth places is a classic square peg problem. I've always sort of mused that the 'gray alien' body is some sort of collective mythical idea of a space-engineered body. That is to say, if you want biological beings to casually work on other planets and moons, our Mark I primate bodies aren't good enough. Ethically, breeding 'space body children' should be a no-go for any civilization that values ethics and consent.

So that just leaves us robots, which not only makes scientific sense but ethical sense. Even the "old man" solution is unethical. We cannot know which one of these men might live to 100 if not bathed in radiation. Estimates on average age don't apply to the individual, so sending a 70 year old who will "die anyway in his 80s" is still very problematic. Fun fact, William Shatner is 92, so the famous Captain Kirk actor is one of those long lived individuals. Imagine sending him to Mars in 2004 at 72 because "he'll die soon anyway," but instead he's starting to look like someone who is going to live well into his mid or late 90s.

Its probably worth mentioning that when humanity does figure out a cheap and safe flight to places like Mars, Venus, moons of Jupiter, etc and figures out the engineering and bioengineering, we'll probably either be at our extinction event before then or AI will be at the level where we'd be just as much machine as human, or entirely replace by self-aware robots. So its a bit like those old film strips where they launch a manned cannon ball to the moon or an airship to go to Venus. The society, tech, and culture, etc of the time just wasn't far-seeing enough to understand the complexity of these issues and the changes needed to address them. We never danced around the moon's surface in Victorian gowns, used a sextant to navigate our spaceship, or brought a contingent of slaves to Mars. Modern thinkers are making similar mistakes as these naive old stories. Migration to the stars is just not going to be done in these bodies nor with this technology.
I switched from python to rust for my AI stuff. Honestly, I don't care about the things people say rust is used for. I like it because the package manager, testing, and typings being built into the ecosystem by default makes it so easy to build. VS Python where it all can be done, but you need to then maintain all of those separate tools. The overhead of writing Rust is less than the overhead of dealing with the Python ecosystem. And then you have all the benefits of Rust everyone mentions more often... one other thing no one mentions is the feedback loop between a strongly typed language and copilots ability to more accurately generate code.

That being said, there is a real shortage of Rust software for Rust only projects. I ended up writing a wrapper for Llama.cpp and open ai API [0] because I needed it and couldn't find anything out there. Eventually, I do intend to implement Hugging Face's Candle library [1] (A rust version of Torch). There is something appealing about doing everything in a single lang especially as the monopoly of CUDA inevitably gets chipped away.

> It's true, this was a CVE in Rust and not a CVE in C++, but only because C++ doesn't regard the issue as a problem at all. The problem definitely exists in C++, but it's not acknowledged as a problem, let alone fixed.

Can you find a link that substantiates your claim? You're throwing out some heavy accusations here that don't seem to match reality at all.

Case in point, this was fixed in both major C++ libraries:

https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/commit/ebf6175464768983a2d...

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/4f67a909902d8ab9...

So what C++ community refused to regard this as an issue and refused to fix it? Where is your supporting evidence for your claims?
I recall that this has something to do with the ebb and flow of their predator's populations, over the eons it has aligned with periods of declining predator population.
> Although, even Patreon has this issue, since there is no hard requirement to be showing your work regularly

I'm sure different people use Patreon differently, but there's never really been a trust problem with Patreon for me because the sums are so small and I can stop paying whenever I like.

People on kickstarter are understandably salty when they pay $350 for a chair and it doesn't show up.

But if I pay someone $5/month for youtube videos and their output slows down or drops in quality, I can just stop paying, and keep getting the videos for free on youtube.
Hold up. Why is the AGI a devil now?
I think an API facilitates abuse, because it can be more easily automated and so you could easily add a lot of load to your server. Someone will create a script to pull all records one by one very quickly, maybe they will want to export a huge dataset daily which they did not do I the app. New workflows. Charging is also a way to encourage good habits. Some people overdo it though.
> Is USV aiming to become a standard?
>
> Yes and we've submitted the first draft of the USV standard to the IETF: link.

This is a nice idea, and all, but seems unlikely to become a meaningful standard without some major backing behind that "we".
It seems as though one could easily build a file format far more useful than CSV simply by utilizing these separators, and I'm sure it's been done countless times.

Perhaps this would make an interesting personal project. Are you aware of any hurdles, missing key features, etc. that previous attempts at creating such a format have run into (other than adoption, obviously)?
They're cryptographers (or, at least, two of them have cryptography doctorates, and are well known in the field). Cryptographers in generally are pretty warm to the idea of imminent quantum supremacy, as it's a motivator for a lot of interesting research. By which I mean, if you surveyed academic cryptographers outside of Google, you might get a pretty comparable answer.

He also has way more money than almost any other individual. Did he pay in proportion to his wealth?
I like it but is there a pen Bezier tool? It'd be perfect with that feature.
CSV works for machines as well as humans, why do you assume or imply otherwise? Making the separator hard to type makes this ‘invention’ hard for humans to use. Using the glyphs instead of the semantic Unicode separators might also make this harder to use, even if you can understand why they did it, and to some degree it subverts the intent of the Unicode standard’s separator and glyph characters.
> You cannot edit it in regular editor, like csv/tsv/jsonlines.

If only there were shortcuts on modern operating systems to allow us to do things that aren't readily on our keyboards. Like upper case characters. Or copy and paste. Or close windows. Our lives would be so much better.

If ASV had caught on, there could be common shared shortcuts to type them, and fonts would regularly display them (just like the unicode characters proposed). But CSV was simple enough and readily type-able.

> There is no schema or efficient storage, like binary formats.

I'm not quite certain where you're trying to go with this. Binary formats aren't really meant to be human readable in an average text editor. It doesn't know to differentiate 1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes as an integer or a float. Even current hex editors to make it easier to navigate these formats don't really know unless you are able to tell it somehow.

> There is no wide library support.

It's a critical mass problem. Not enough people are using them, so no libraries are being made.

> Not all data is representable.

I'm not quite certain what data couldn't be represented. f you can represent your data in CSV, you can represent it in ASV. It's all plain text that gets interpreted based on what you need. They're nearly a 1:1 replacement. Commas get replaced by unit separators, new lines get replaced by group separators. Then you have record and file separators to do with for further levels of abstraction if you need.
It is hard to pencil out lunar materials being cheap, except maybe for use on the moon. If we're at the point where we are capable of in-situ utilization we probably have some kind of Starship-class rocket. The worst part of the "rocket tax" is not that you have to burn a lot of fuel or screw around with stages and refueling, but rather that you (1) throw the rocket away after one use or (2) it is a Great American Boondoggle like the Space Shuttle.

I do like the picture though of a lunar mass driver that sends up regolith, metal, or something like that to a catcher at, say, the L1 point.
You're right. I edited my comment to qualify it with "when". Thank you!
Kickstarter did have a ton of scams, but my favorite "rise from the ashes" story was the ZPM Espresso machine. ZPM promised a revolutionary espresso machine that used a precisely controlled thermoblock (instead of a boiler) to control temperatures accurately.

I don't think ZPM was an intentional scam, but the founders got in way over their heads, and when the popularity of the product exploded, they then had to figure out all these volume manufacturing problems as opposed to just building some prototypes for a small number of backers (there is a cautionary tale about startups taking too much VC money in here somewhere...) Anyway, ZPM crashed and burned, and as far as I know none of the backers got their money back. Again, I don't think it was really a scam, all that money was just spent on things for the project. I don't think anyone got their machine, but maybe a few folks did, not sure.

Anyway, another company, Decent Espresso, came along and bought out ZPM's patents (note, backers still received nothing afaik), but now the Decent machine is an absolute marvel, with temperature and pressure profiling capabilities that are nuts. The machine is also not cheap (the original promise of ZPM), but it's still cool that in the world of so much BS where scammers produce nothing of value (cough Theranos cough), that at least in this case something really cool came of it.
Ignore the people saying "don't do this" and instead read "Monetizing Innovation" (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Monetizing-Innovation-Companies-Des...) to get some guidance.

It's difficult to summarise the key lessons but you need to consider things like:

* What does having an API allow your customers to do?

* How valuable is that?

* Are they willing to pay for it?

* How do you align payment to the value?

* Is an API considered "table stakes?"

The book I linked goes into more detail so I really encourage you to read it. You can skip over the organisational changes it recommends, just the principles of pricing are good enough for your use case.

* update my hosts file to block sites that suck me in (youtube, reddit and maybe even this one).

* listen to music with no vocals. For whatever reason, vocals distract me from thinking. I often use brain.fm or a "synthwave" set of songs on Spotify.

* write my ideas for architecture/code down on paper and check them off one-by-one. Then handwriting helps me.

Good luck!
Disagree. We’re already on the verge of collapse. We definitely need AGI.
> t is the way I think. I am a very bottom-up thinker. If you give me the right kind of Tinker Toys, I can imagine the building. I can sit there and see primitives and recognize their power to build structures a half mile high, if only I had just one more to make it functionally complete. I can see those kinds of things.

I’m no Ken Thompson, but this resonates with me. I like to find the simplest, most powerful and general solution, then apply it to the problem at hand.

Super complex frameworks and systems are the bane of my existence, because I really can’t wrap my head around what they are doing, so I can’t trust them.
Strangely enough wasm might get support for 64 bit ints, but their native R code won't.
Unless you're doing a BIG jump, like from legacy to UEFI, or SATA to NVMe, Windows will generally just figure it out.

There may be an occasional exception for when you've doing something weird (iirc the 11th-13th gen Intel RST need a slipstreamed or manually added drivers unless you change controller settings in the BIOS which may bite on laptops at the moment if you're unaware of having to do it).

But even for big jumps you can usually get it working with a bit of hackery pokery. Most recently I had to jump from a legacy C2Q system running Windows 10 to run bare metal on a 9th gen Core i3.

I ended up putting it onto a VM to run the upgrade from legacy to UEFI so I'd have something that'd actually boot on this annoyingly picky 9th gen i3 Dell system, but it worked.

I generally (ab)use Macrium Reflect, and have a copy of Parted Magic to hand, but it's extremely rare for me to find a machine I can't clone to dissimilar hardware.

The only one that stumped me recently was an XP machine running specific legacy software from a guy who died two decades ago. That I had to P2V. Worked though!
I don't think regulation is ineffective as a whole, but I do think that regulation won't be able to curb the industry's hunger for data or its incompetence in how it collects it. I believe this is the case because the industry will fight just as vigorously to collect this data while regulators will be less invested in stopping it. I believe regulators will be less invested in stopping it because there has been a steady degradation in our expectation of privacy in this area since smart phones. Any auto industry lobbyist just has to point out that tracking your driving habits and selling that data to insurance companies is little different from what google and apple already do.

Without more detail I would respond as a customer and builder:

It is my data - if I am paying for a service already the idea of paying more to access my data differently is unattractive.

If you're using the API yourself it means the cost of building is complete so there is no additional cost.

How often are the users, power users, abusers going to access the API?

I am thinking either charge more for your service and include it and add rate limiting, authentication, 2FA, etc to add some friction.

I totally agree that, if you can't think of why you might want to support one particular future game over another, then kickstarter is not for you. However, lots of people like the work of particular creators, or like particular genres, or are looking for particular gameplay approaches. Those people may all think about funding certain games in development over others.

Just in general you might prefer to support some futures over others, and if that's your, kickstarter (and similar services) would appeal.
The great thing about comma as a field separator is (1) the character is visible and (2) the character is common, so if there are escaping bugs in either the generator or the parser, they will quickly become apparent. Much better to fail fast than having a parse error at line 28357283 because a more uncommon separator character somehow still made its way into the data.
Hey, really appreciate the feedback!

- Agree that it may not be quicker than filling in a form depending on the use case. To me the potential benefits are more about responding via email or text, avoiding churn from long and complicated forms, etc.

- The 4XL case is really interesting. There is actually backend validation happening on this form that forces the T-shirt size to be one of XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL... but to your point that's not visible to users. Maybe there's a way to make that more visible, or maybe that's just a bad use case for Semiform. Need to think more about this in general.
No it isn't, it's just a bug and it was fixed, just like it was for Rust. Nobody hid behind UB for this and the time from reporting the issue to fixing it was about 2 weeks for both libcxx and libc++

strict carnivore? brah, you've been drinking the (meat flavored) kool-aid.

keto... kind of a different story, but incredibly hard to sustain. and why are you doing FODMap? do you have a diagnosed gut issue?

it sounds like you're just rattling off diet memes.

with 100k I'd hire someone to design meals and/or get some of the al a carte meals like hello fresh. i'd also pay for a nice gym and a personal trainer.

also a maid, or other cleaning services. outsource annoying or unfun tasks, and find ways to concentrate willpower / stay busy with things I want to do.

and then cutting back some work hours, like going on 2/3 schedule at work for a while. a lot of weight loss is about being able to tolerate not having the dopamine hit from food, and usually that means lowering stress elsewhere or outsourcing other tasks. a therapist or counseling might also help identify what's pushing you to eat or preventing you from forcing the discipline.

but honestly if you keep backsliding then you need to change your life. new job, or new house, or something else. throwing more money at the problem won't fix the habits cuz eventually the cash will run out but everything else will stay the same.

My cat didn't knew how to jump over the chain link fence until he saw a neighbor's cat do it.

Indeed, if the result is to be encoded with UTF-8, using 1-byte separators vs the multi-byte encoding of (241F) would make sense to me.

I'd also prefer if escapes were done in the "traditional" manner of, for example, "\t" for a tab because you can then read in stuff with something like input.split("\t").map(unescape); you know any actual tab character in the input is a field separator, and then you can go through the fields to put back the escaped ones.
