A lot of people use ORMs, though, which (though often poorly) translate the SQL model to one more familiar to most programmers. An unfortunately less popular alternative is query builders (such as jOOQ for the JVM) which, especially in statically typed language, provide a degree of safety against basic typos, SQL injections, etc., while still keeping the mental model of SQL intact.

Doesn't this rather imply that IBM would have priced OS/2 reasonably and been able to get OEMs to bundle it? There's no way Microsoft would have tolerated OEMs bundling an IBM-only OS/2, they would have pulled all the same illegal tricks they did with DRDOS.

I certainly hope that anyone proposing a Unicode CSV variant as a joke would pick some raised hand emoji as the separator and the victory gesture (0xe011, also popular as an approximation of how an air quote emoji would look like) as the quote character.

But we already keep stumbling over missing support for the on-demand quote character even with separators like comma and tab, using more exotic characters as the separator will only make it worse. The value of less escaping is negative.

This potentially solves another critical problem.

It's a nightmare for less savvy (generally older) people to evaluate any product, due to the proliferation of SEO tactics. It's especially harmful in cases where the price is tied to the complexity of the product.

For instance, my parents click sponsored Google results all the time. Sure, part of it is naivete, but it's also avoidance of the mental gymnastics necessary for the non-digital native generation to understand the constantly evolving SEO game.
You missed providing enough data to come up with something that would actually make revenue for you. Abstracting from a business model you have, there are SaaS businesses that don't charge for API call but a license fee that compensates the costs.
Valuing an API call is hard, first you need to discover your costs related to handling that call at all, those fall into 2 groups:

1. direct costs - this one is relatively easy, you just keep track of all your spending that you need to cover to handle that API calls, this will be mostly: compute, storage, network costs, software licences, 3rd party software licences. You should have a good idea how much you need to spend on infra to handle 1kk API calls. There is a caveat here (!) increasing storage costs that grow every month. Lets say you save a transaction in DB for every API call made and you charged a customer for that. The thing is that (depending on your agreement with the customer) you have to keep that transaction in DB for lets say next 36 month. If you're handling millions of transactions... these numbers add up and you set set yourself in a very uncomfortable position after some time when you realize that even though you charge per API call, it's not enough to cover the costs of keeping data in DB that grows every month.

2. indirect costs - Depending you your business setup, you may need to incur office costs, backoffice staff, sales commission, SWE team compensation, on-calls... payment gateway commission, taxes and FX rates fluctuations if you're charging globally in different currencies. The bigger the org the harder it will be to know all of these indirect costs. Btw. these costs are usually flat and there is not much linear dependency on the number of API calls you do (but there is to the number of customer you have).

Where it gets interesting, is when you enter economies of scale... which means that you can keep your indirect costs relatively flat and your direct costs in a non-linear relation to the number of API calls made. To put into an example:

- tiny scale, 1kk API calls will have 100USD of direct costs + 10k USD of indirect costs = price per 1k calls is (10100 USD / 1 000) = 10,1USD

- a bit bigger scale, 100kk API calls will have 15000USD of direct costs + 10k USD of indirect costs = price per 1k calls is (25k USD / 100k ) = 0,025USD

see? You've handled 100x more traffic but your direct costs increased only by 15x and indirect stayed the same - this is what you should focus on in the end when building API SaaS product - how do I get into economy of scale the fastest.

Right, that plan is somewhat foiled by most laptops not having ethernet ports anymore.

You don't need crossover cables anymore. You can just connect a regular patch cable directly between 2 devices. Modern devices can swap RX/TX as needed.

As for auto-configuration, that's up to the OS, but yeah you probably have to set up static IPs.

I've been thinking about something similar. Before the internet, this sort of system would be extremely impractical, and representative democracy is a pretty obvious choice, given the limitations of the time. But now, with the internet, it's a lot easier to handle this in a fluid way with little friction.

The only downside might be that deep discussions of nuanced topics between the delegates might be useless if most votes ignore the discussion. Compromise might get a lot harder, and nuance and depth might be lost. On the other hand, it might also kill corporate lobbying. It's worth a try, and definitely an improvement over first-past-the-post systems and those where politicians are bought by corporate interests.
It would be interesting to know whether he had devised some kind of project plan ahead of time. But I suspect not. I'm sure he had been thinking about the technical details of what he wanted to build - which yep, we all like to do that! - but I doubt he bothered to break down a set of approximately-ordered 1- to 3-day work units, which is what many of us struggle to be good at.

And the audience will pretty much hate anyone Oliver tells them to hate. That's why they watch - to enjoy their Two Minutes Hate.
> That's probably to prevent the most obvious workaround of creating a new shell company for every million users.

Which would be all around moot because the fee itself is illegal.
Do you have any extra costs for this? Otherwise I would either include it in the normal pricing or just have a fixed price for api access.
I imagine that the problem with getting LLMs to do it is 1)hallucination and 2)a lack of training examples of teaching through text. We rarely teach purely through text messages, I think this might explain why LLMs almost never ask clarifying questions or use the Socratic method. But it might be possible to RLHF it into doing that.
Can you say something about what your approach is?

A proof that P=NP immediately gives a polynomial-time algorithm for NP complete problems via universal search. It’s so wildly impractical as to probably not change anything, but it _is_ in P.
Their assistant is supposedly capable of extended, multi-step processing:

Silas Alberti, a computer scientist and co-founder of another
stealth AI startup (of course), has tried Devin and says the
technology is a leap forward. It’s less like an assistant helping
with code and more like a real worker doing its own thing, he
says. “This feels very different because it’s an autonomous system
that can do something for you,” Alberti says. Devin excels at
prototyping projects, fixing bugs and displaying complex data in
graphical forms, according to Alberti. “Most of the other assistants
derail after four or five steps, but this maintains its state almost
effortlessly through the whole job,” he says.
I don't remember what podcast I heard it from, but another opinion about representing yourself: it's more taxing on the judge. It consumes more court resources to represent yourself; which already is scarce. Which is why they often make sure you really want to do this.

In most cases, yeah. Most people have little to no idea how the courts run, so judges often have to give large amounts of leeway to non lawyer pro se defendants.

I have no formal training, and am under no illusions that I'm smart enough to do it. But I am curious if I personally could do it. Argue before a judge, and antagonize court staff to figure out what needs to be filed, and how. All depending on the scale and stakes of the case.
I'd create a higher tier, like double the price, with API access.

But offer a very high rate limit.
But in this case you and your friend are not right about the process. There was a claim that "the models aren't being updated based on the new data" which is categorically false. It's not that they pointed out problems in the process, it's that they flat out lied about things - such dishonesty doesn't help solve any problems you imagine you see, its just trolling.
There is more then just "left" and "right", hence "all sides of the political spectrum".

Yeah you're right, I originally said no action was taken because I was going off of my recollection of the original issue 2 years ago. When Rust released this blog post (Jan 20th 2022) the same issue had been fixed already in Python. When I asked around about C++, people pasted the reference link and said it didn't need to be fixed because it was defined as UB. I stand corrected, they did fix it. And good on them for fixing it and not closing it as "spec says its fine".

It's still bad they didn't file a CVE for it, knowing that other languages did so. It reduces trust in their ecosystem.

You seem mainly focused on what the out group does. Manipulating emotions and discourse is not a outgroup problem, really.

Also, I think algorithmic feeds are the main culprits. Before them, it was way harder to manipulate people on the internet.
Alt stores also require specific insurance, which doesn't seem to be the case here.
I feel like this is a trend, and it comes in cycles. People do business directly, end up fucking each other over, regulation is desired. Such regulation is moat, it benefits larger players, so business concentrates. While this enables things like standards, it also becomes soulless and expensive, and people began to feel that business needs to be more direct. So, with technology, a new alternative is unlocked, people deal with each other again, discover the same outcomes. A case of history repeating itself, well, at least if you look from far enough.

Same happened with crypto, I feel, vs banks and stocks. The latter is regulated and saturated, and crypto is a wild west. So every scam is new again.

> TFA is unclear about what they mean by a "Mars mission". The amount of exposure an astronaut would face would depend on the duration of the mission, and a (say) two-day holiday on Mars doesn't make a lot of sense, if the one-way trip takes several months.

Usually[0] such calculations are based on orbital windows, so approximately 15 months round trip time for a short stay and 34-month trip if you're trying to minimise fuel requirements. To get down to just 8 months would require on-orbit staging, which is basically putting supply caches in orbit, but even that's talking about 2 weeks on the ground.

But what matters is the time spent in space, not on the ground — once you're on the surface of Mars, things get a lot easier, as you've got a planet between you and the sun half the time, plenty of terrain to hide behind if you need to be out of line-of-sight, about 17g/cm^2 of atmosphere[1] between you and the sun even when it's at zenith, and the possibility of digging a hole to hide in.

Almost there Dustin, thank you. This article is about the mental model behind scaling consistency across arbitrary geographical distances and how this model allows us to communicate time-information the same way we now communicate data. It's an intro to the science-paper, not the implementation.

With regards to the implementation (which is omniledger.io): We basically make SQL scale via Kafka by piggybacking on the semantics of both technologies.

There's no central authority for any of the tables. The version-ledger is totally schema-agnostic, only the clients understand it. In fact, it federates schemas the same way it does records. Tables are not topics either, in fact, we scale by importing namespaces via a command-line interface, which specifies a schema. Any database can register to this namespace after which they become as much of the "master" to the namespace as any other. There's no hierarchy between them, the ledger does everything for them. Since the ledger itself is deterministically replicated, a separate instance of it can be co-located with each instance that runs the JDBC-connections to the database, raising availability of it to the availability of the whole system. Each component in the setup scales with the number of partitions created for it.
You are worth more than that!

> I looked up "plain hummus" and it has a score of 70? But the ingredient list shows almost zero additives.

Almost zero != zero. Your cited hummus with a score of 70 includes the additive "guar gum". Other hummus vendors with a score of 1 do not include that additive, so the simple numerical score succeeds in flagging the product for manual human review.

Washington Post (2022) article lists guar gum as an ultra-processed additive, https://archive.is/LG1V1

Many ultra-processed foods are made in industrial machines that subject grains, corn and other raw ingredients to extremely high pressures and temperatures. This can destroy micronutrients and create new compounds that can be harmful, including carcinogens, said Carlos A. Monteiro, an expert on ultra-processed foods and a professor of nutrition and public health at the School of Public Health at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil.

“These foods contain many chemical compounds that are not nutrients,” he added.

Ultra-processed foods often contain an array of additives whose effects on our health we don’t yet fully understand, said Mozaffarian. “It’s not just the salt and sugar, which are the obvious ones, but the artificial sweeteners, artificial colors, emulsifiers, stabilizers, guar gum and xanthan gum,” he said. “We don’t know that they’re innocuous.”

Pricing is a core concept you may want to get some consultation on with trusted advisors and mentors.

You can adjust your pricing but it's a big ship, so it's good to get close to right.

What sorts of cliffs do your internal applications face? Any block pricing, where it is cheaper or more expensive after a certain amount of compute? You'll want to build these into pricing in some way, either in the assumptions or directly as a passthrough.

I just wonder how products like game consoles would be viable under a law like this. I assume they would have to cost much more and there would be far less incentive for their development in the first place.

Then again, we are at the end stages of game consoles. Microsoft in particular seems to be considering the idea of not even bothering with hardware. Software is where the money is, Chinese hardware companies can make hardware like you see in the retro handheld scene.
Well yes, it is personal. As such no dietary advice is worth more than the experiments one conducts on themself, to see how one responds specifically.

If something isn't working, then sure, look to the science for potential solutions and try them out. Nothing, however is guaranteed.

If you're not getting the results you're hoping for, move on. Conversely, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, even if someone out there is telling you that you're doing it wrong.

For example I have a weakness for sugar cereal. I know it's on the bad list of sweet, ultraprocessed foods. I also know that, as a pre-workout meal, I perform great after crushing a half-box of Trix or Captain Crunch.
Likely because on a laptop there's usually a Windows license embedded in an ACPI table. As long as you weren't moving a Pro edition installation to a machine that only had a key for Home edition, it would silently handle any re-activation necessary.
I'm fascinated that a lot of posters in this thread are not understanding the ideas and experiences, that the inventors of this file format had or made. They invented this format because it works for machines as well as for humans. Text editors can handle the proposed UTF characters just fine. Humans can see them. The only challenge is that it is cumbersome to type the delimiters. And that the format is not used in any relevant software (like Excel). Both are reason enough, that USV will not be used anywhere. But I can see why they went this way on their file format.
Although, even Patreon has this issue, since there is no hard requirement to be showing your work regularly; just more of an expectation due to the design of the system.

Part of this seems to be due to the reality of creative work: you need to be willing to fund failures as much as successes, or you'll end up getting more-of-the-same rather than something new. E.g. existing creators with well-established patron bases can feel pressured to make more-of-the-same, rather than experimenting, leading to their burnout.

The other part of it seems to honestly be gullibility (on the part of backers) and lack of focus on realistic, achievable goals ("go small, then incrementally bigger") from those seeking funding. The normalization/glorification of advertising culture (e.g. "fake it till you make it") is a non-trivial contributor to this issue, ultimately making it difficult to distinguish between grifters and people who drank the kool-aid.
