Last time I checked, his actions secured him 30 Billions USD now, 1 Trillion USD in the future. Also, He is in AI and robotics now.

Anyway, still don't get why Theranos failed to pivot to something else when they couldn't do the single drop blood thing and failed. Was there something contractual in their investment rounds? Was it because they were into healthcare? Was it because she was trying to be Steve Jobs instead of Musk?
It seems to me that Elizabeth Holmes could have promised that the test are coming next year and just release repackaged Siemens machines with a cloud integration and pretty UI and figure out products down the line and keep promising that single drop tests are coming next year. Then pivot to AI and robotic.

Hi! I’m Olga, an experienced software engineer looking for frontend or fullstack projects.

I have experience building greenfield projects and complex features that “just work,” as well as diving into complex legacy codebases, fixing “unfixable” bugs, and performing major refactoring.

In addition to React/Next.js and Node/Express.js development, I also have experience with cloud-native workflows (Golang + Kubernetes), OpenAI API integration and agentic workflows, native iOS development, and game development. Thanks to my multi-platform experience, I can help you port large products across different platforms.

I agree with that belief, and I've been saying it for over 20 years.

I base it on comparing how the IPv2 to IPv4 rollout went, versus the IPv4 to IPv6 rollout. The fact that it was incredibly obvious how to route IPv2 over IPv4 made it a no-brainer for the core Internet to be upgraded to IPv4.

By contrast it took over a decade for IPv6 folks to accept that IPv6 was never going to rule the world unless you can route IPv4 over it. Then we got DS-Lite. Which, because IPv6 wasn't designed to do that, adds a tremendous amount of complexity.

Will we eventually get to an IPv6 only future? We have to. There is no alternative. But the route is going to be far more painful than it would have been if backwards compatibility was part of the original design.

Of course the flip side is that some day we don't need IPv4 backwards compatibility. But that's still decades from now. How many on the original IPv6 will even still be alive to see it?

I haven’t worked at Google, but I doubt they’re immune.

Lack of “important work” is one mechanism, but in the case I’m describing the issue was overlapping legitimacy: multiple orgs had good reasons to own the same scope. Hardware felt insecure about ML moving elsewhere, SWE had real product needs, AI/ML wanted centralization.
by satvikpendem | 2026-01-02 22:30:10+00:00
No one said become Henry Ford. You keep trying to put words in people's mouths because you come into this discussion with a preconceived notion that you're correct, meanwhile multiple people are providing evidence that you're likely not. If you have any actual points to share please do so but it doesn't seem that you do rather than saying the same two points over and over and moving those talking points once someone tests it. I don't know about you but I don't find that very enlightening discussion.
by pnt12 | 2026-01-02 22:30:23+00:00
That's an even weaker argument: AI and ratings.

Ratings are very criticized by artists, eg as being fueled by conservative moms. For example, in the USA, movies with guns and explosion can be shown to younger audiences than nudity - seems very illogical.

Also, some anecdotes: lots of my friends were into GTA as kids, ie early teens, and turned out fine. Comparing to kids who didn't do so well, I consider the most important factors to br family, education, and finances, not violent multimedia.

With that being said, I'm sympathetic to limiting internet access due to communication with strangers, and extreme content (eg violent rethorics that appeal to action, not fantasy violence).

> BTW what's the trouble with multi-homing? Can't an interface have two separate IPv6 addresses configured on it, the same way as IPv4 addresses?

Yes, an interface can hsve two separate IPv6 addresses, but that doesn't make it easy.

If you do the easy and obvious thing of setting up two routers to advertise their prefix with your preferred priority when they're available (and advertise it as unavailable when they're not), your devices are likely to configure themselves for addresses on both prefixes, which is great.

Then when you open a new tcp connection (for example), they'll pick a source address more or less randomly... There's a RFC suggestion to select the source address with the largest matching prefix with the destination address, which is useful if the prefix is pretty long, but not so useful when the prefix is 2001:: vs 2602::

Anyway, once the source address is selected, the machine will send the packet to whichever router most recently sent an announcement. Priorities only count among prefixes in the same announcement. If you manage to get a connection established, future packets will use the same source address, but will be sent as appropriate for the most recently received advertisement.

This is pretty much useless, if you want it to work well, you're better off with NAT66 and a smart NAT box.
by reincarnate0x14 | 2026-01-02 22:31:31+00:00
For trivial cases NAT is easy, for complex situations it's a nightmare. I've been fighting a lonely battle against multiple-NAT VPNs as being the solution to the wrong problem for longer than I care to remember, and I'm tired boss. A few years ago we had a client site go offline because a local network guy just didn't like IPv6 and turned it off, not realizing that a huge amount of stuff was happening automatically and that's why he hadn't been needing to work on it.

Happy Public Domain Day, everyone! Such a great project.

A bit tangential here, but I am really looking forward to 2035 for the public domain. A ton of culturally significant works seem to enter then - And Then There Were None, Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Batman (Detective Comics #27), Superman #1, Marvel Comics #1, and Tintin’s King Ottokar’s Sceptre.

Wikipedia also tells me that all of the 'life + 70" countries will have Ian Fleming's James Bond works in the public domain in 2035 as well.

Don't forget that you can enable syntax highlighting/file rendering(like pdf, markdown) in less with lesspipe https://github.com/wofr06/lesspipe. It is exteremely useful and improves readability a lot. What's nice is that this functionality is typically disabled in pipes, so you can be sure that your script will behave as intended.

Obviously we're just dueling anecdotes here, but FWIW, I'm a US tech worker who bought a Tesla in 2022 and certainly never will again. I have four friends with Teslas in tech and all of them say the same thing: never again. Replacement cycles for cars are so long that this will take a while to fully show up in the data, but I don't see growth anywhere in their future, especially when BYD is eating their lunch in seemingly every non-US market.
by acabal | 2026-01-02 22:32:31+00:00
No, none have reached out yet. I've had some brief, high-level discussion along those lines with some people in the library industry, and the conclusion I drew is that public libraries in the US are highly fragmented in terms of technological capability. Instead of partnering with individual local library systems, it would make the most sense to - as you mentioned - partner with Overdrive. But there's been no movement in that direction. If anyone from Overdrive is reading, get in touch :)

Maybe present the full quote?

"too many people, so many mass executions of the elderly and infirm make sense is the fundamental fact that everyone dies at some time .make it imporrisbole to ask so why not earilier. if the brain discards unused neurons, why shold socieity keep their equivalent

The radical idea of treating individuals in a society as cells and the society itself as a well-organized organism is fascism, or course. Probably the most efficient and rationally stringent way of governance, if someone could pull it off in a sustainable way; and if it is aggressive and expansive, its efficiency makes it a virus that everybody will want to stomp out. Fascism makes romantic doo-gooders like me very uncomfortable"

He dares to explore radical taboo ideas and concludes that it would be fascism, which he is not comfortable with.

So .. I see nothing where he is intolerant of anything. But you seem not tolerant for people daring to explore certain thoughts in general? Even if they reach the conclusion this is not the way to go.
(And maybe even an attempt at dissuading the other person of those concepts)

> Doing tariffs first without building manufacturing was just dumb.

Not dumb, worse than that. Affected companies are either eliminated or deeply discounted. The 0.001% is going to hunt the 0.01%. The erratic policy of the current administration reflects exactly that: conflicting personal interests being fought over, "the US" or "the people" be damned.

What you are looking at is unbound and shameless grifting. Not the first insurrection by the oligarchy in US history. Monopolies and wealth concentration come with a price. A very steep price.

Assuming for a second Optimus is not complete vaporware, and that people will trust Musk with humanoid robots in their home after he said "I'm not building a robot army unless I have control"....

Optimus will face the Roomba problem. Cheaper robots from competitors will destroy any profit margins, and there's zero moat.

And the problem with shorting Tesla has been apparent for years: the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

You can maybe connect to everyone over IPv4, but chances are that that path is strictly worse (in terms of latency, P2P reachability, congestion et.c) than a v6 one would be.

For example, two IPv6 peers can often trivially reach each other even behind firewalls (using UDP hole punching). For NAT, having too restrictive a NAT gateway on either side can easily prevent reachability.

Yes, I was. I had a physical-keyboard phone for as long as I reasonably could.

What I realized is modern soft-keyboards are actually exceptionally good handling slight miss-clicks. I stopped worrying about hitting the key exactly and just punched it close enough. Auto-correct seems able to figure out that 5% off of a key should be weighed as that key being hit and gets the word right.

With a hard keyboard, I'd just end up with total garbage sometimes.

I oil change once a year.
I fill in gas once every like 7-10 days, half the time someone pumps it for me. It takes five minutes, maybe. I don't need to fuss about range, chargers or connect my car as it were a phone when I'm home every day. I find EVs an inconvenience. There are many reasons why choose an EV, and I just might, but these are not.

TENS is generally pretty safe if applied with care and good sense (likely not applicable here). The risk is primarily to people with pre-existing heart conditions. Though obviously enough electricity through the chest will kill a healthy adult.

The exercise value is pretty low, as I understand. Wrong type of muscle activation. It's primarily used for recovery after exercise or for cueing aches and pains.

Resale values are trash, motion sickness is terrible, electrical rates are going up, and it's a pain in the ass to travel long distance and wait to recharge constantly. I think EVs have hit that saturation point where everyone who wanted one has bought one and now some people are going back to other options. Also Elon hasn't exactly remained neutral so that probably makes it even harder since it seems like there is significant overlap between Tesla's potential customer base and his political opposition.

I'm interested in getting that standalone magsafe Clicks keyboard they also announced. I have the original Clicks keyboard case for my iPhone 15 and almost never use it because of how goofy the size is + I dislike hate that soft touch plastic that gets stuck in my pocket. The slide out keyboard looks way more appealing in comparison. Not sure how people lived using the keyboard case with any plus sized iPhone-- It's basically a weapon!
by paxys | 2026-01-02 22:35:41+00:00
USA has 340 million people. "Outside the US" has ~8 billion. So Tesla selling more cars outside the US isn't by itself a crazy achievement. China was supposed to be Tesla's next big market after US and Europe but sales there have already cooled off due to competition from domestic manufacturers. Tesla used to be #1 in the Chinese EV market when it launched and has now fallen outside the top 5.
by metalliqaz | 2026-01-02 22:35:50+00:00
It's amazing to me that Tesla shareholders are not calling for Elon's head.

The stock lives purely on hype, and with the EV market going down the tubes, Optimus (really AI) is the new hype story. Except that Elon is actively stealing Tesla's data for his own company (xAI). He just helps himself to Tesla's GPUs, technology, and data. Tesla didn't bid out their data. They didn't sell it. Elon plundered it into a company in which he owns a larger share.

I'd never buy that stock. I'd short it in a heartbeat if I had any hope of remaining solvent longer than the market remains irrational.

You (& GGGP) seem to be good at voicing what's in heads-- Asuka as a Japanese idea of a German hafu was exactly in the back of my mind. (Personally she seems fully Korean/Chinese, but maybe my psycho-cultiral-timeframe is off by a few decades?)

Show HN: Go-Highway – Portable SIMD for Go
by kingcauchy | 2026-01-02 22:36:41+00:00
Go 1.26 adds native SIMD via GOEXPERIMENT=simd. This library provides a portability layer so the same code runs on AVX2, AVX-512, or falls back to scalar.

Inspired by Google's Highway C++ library.

Includes vectorized math (exp, log, sin, tanh, sigmoid, erf) since those come up a lot in ML/scientific code and the stdlib doesn't have SIMD versions.

algo.SigmoidTransform(input, output)

Requires go1.26rc1. Feedback welcome.

That's what I did. Hobbies & Side work. Traveling!

The key is to set boundaries, learn which 5 hours of work are important and manage expectations well. Im convinced you get most of your work done in the first 20 hours of the week and there's diminishing returns after that. Manual labor scales pretty linearly with time. Software development not so much.

I can understand you are like this. Just be upfront about it during interviews. You might be surprised there are companies which are absolutely fine with that.

I'm on the other end, I do think your life should revolve around the thing that you are doing 8+ hours a day. I currently have colleagues which are the same like you and it feels I have to pull them through the mud. Just be upfront about it and find a good fit ( I too should find a better fit 8) )

Yeah, that seems fair given what I saw of the US when visiting it. "In the UK, 100 miles is a long way. In the US, 100 years is a long time." has a converse.

UK has a thing with football teams: I walked the wrong way once in Sheffield as a football stadium emptied and one group violently ambushed another while I was in the middle of them both. While a police helicopter was overhead.

Back two generations and switching denomination of Christianity was scandalous for some of my relatives.
