My take from the Joe Rogan interview was that Elon is preoccupied/passionate when it comes to technology and engineering. Not pointing out that he obviously has a great team doesn't seem like much of an oversight to me. He didn't attempt to hide behind a facade, playing the super-CEO role, full of faux self deprecation and verbal gold stars for his team.

Perhaps I'm a little more generous in my interpretation of the interview, but to me, he just seemed like an awkward guy, who wanted to work on engineering cool stuff.
Are you referring to my comment? My comment involves a man being told that.
Qualcomm can DESIGN a chip and HOPE it’ll go in 20 million devices in a year. If they take big enough risks it’s possible no one buys the chip and they just eat a huge loss. I do the phone manufacturers don’t want it, or they don’t think it’s worth the extra three dollars compared to a previous chip.

Apple has inly one customer, they can design a trip and KNOW it’s going into 150 million devices within a year. Even if the APIs aren’t given to third parties, it may still be a big win for them.
Our Custom Domain Protection is even more secure than MarkMonitor, but the overhead of doing that also makes it almost as expensive. Our at-cost standard domain service includes as much security as we can build into it without a large human component being required (2fa, etc.).
Tesla is not the only provider of batteries and solar panels, and could sell them to SpaceX even if Musk isn't the CEO of Tesla. There is some technology sharing between the companies, but even that could continue. Lots of companies collaborate without sharing a CEO.

(Incidentally, a Mars colony could also use NASA's new fission reactor designed for space missions. It's likely that NASA will be deeply involved in the effort anyway.)
I posted a source. Can you?
The shorts against Tesla were enormous. Millions (billions?) were put against Tesla. You can't tell me that the shorters did not invest extra money to make their short profitable. That extra money would go into PR to make Tesla look like failing company. That is not fair play either... Basically Musk gave a punch back after being bullied and stressed.

Self-defense?

Also the Tweet started with: "I am thinking of". Not matter of fact, but just announcing what you are thinking of.

Anyway... maybe he can be CEO by proxy or focus more on leading the engineers.
You're so horribly wrong that you could convincingly make exactly the opposite argument, that the government (and by extension US taxpayers) are owed royalties.
Questions of intent are likely also much more significant in the DOJ criminal investigation.

Edit to add: I suspect that questions of harm are more relevant than intent in this civil proceeding though, given the violation is about making material statements which are false or misleading.
I thought the narrative was they just need to get through the short term before production stabilizes and is able to meet demand.

I do feel there is a difference between Tesla the car, and Tesla the company. Tesla the car is still the most desirable electric on the market. Tesla the company is a different story altogether.

Simple and explicit code? sounds easy to read and debug!

I absolutely agree. If you're e.g. merely pretending to be nice to somebody in order to exploit them or harm them, that's obviously not a good thing.

I left angle that out of my original post because I really don't think anybody is doubting Linus' motives here.

I'm aware that some people think his attempt at self-improvement is misguided or silly, but I haven't heard a single person question whether his motives are negative.
If you had someone who was technically deficient, would you just push them away, or would you push them to get better? Why not the same with someone who doesn't have the best interpersonal skills? Why shouldn't we push those people to get better?
Absolutely. That doesn't mean you have to tell them you wish they were retroactively aborted.
you obviously haven't been keeping up with the current state of gun control legislation. governments are keen on making the illegal even more illegal as a means to look like they are doing something and to chip away at rights people are current exercising.

drones will eventually become so heavily licensed than anything outside of law enforcement, large news organizations, and politicians, will be restricted to the point of needing specialized parks just to enjoy them.

RC planes generally fall under 112-95 Section 336 which pretty much should work for drones
But you gave the false dichotomy that to do that, you have to be an asshole. That's purely not true.
interesting point; I'm not sure why you're banned.
For the Askaryan channel you want a dense dielectric material (dense to have a big target, dielectric so tht radio can propagate). On Earth, that means glacial ice, sand or salt. Antarctica has a lot of ice.
No a book, but here's a thing I wrote, and on which I base a talk and a workshop:

https://www.solipsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/sews.py?HowHighTheMoon

It's not all that deep, but I think it's kinda cool.
Python has a convention for "private" functions, which is to prepend "_" to the name.

> It's hard to make a strong case just in words, but once you really understand the power of the fat arrow syntax for anonymous inline functions then you use it more and more and it becomes second nature and the programs you write have a completely different style, oriented towards neatly positioned inline anonymous functions everywhere that typically can be read and understood at a glance as you skip through the code.

This is exactly why I think Python has such limited anonymous functions: because it does not want to promote that style.

> There is simply no other way to write a function that absolutely cannot be called by some other bit of code.

Python also believes that you do not need to defend against this possibility, as long as you make it clear to other developers that they should not call your "private function". This is also why the language allows monkey patching anything at will. If someone wants to ignore good sense, let them.
works for the mentioned case of SELECT 1, 2

Web site is kind of horrible.
Also, wouldn't the existence of a library function (#3) imply that what you're doing is either non-trivial or common enough that someone has already given the function a name? Seems like #1 is sufficient.
good.

I am overwhelmed with these. I just installed Hiya on iOS (11). It's not good enough because I can't put in a wildcard to block entire ranges.

Also you can't block VM and Verizon won't turn it off, so I'll have to fill my mailbox to capacity.

Still, it's not enough yet to push me to Google Voice.
FWIW - I don't know if there are FOSS implementations, but beyond simple word scanning (which I agree could be pretty effective!) there are also sentiment analysis tools out there.
Wow, I find that quite amazing.
I think you're talking about humans, whereas the article was talking about reality.

Amount of CO2 in the air. Number of Rohingya killed. Amount of crude in Cantarell at this moment. Etc etc etc ad infinitum.

What are the answers to those questions? What are the physical implications? (ie-what will the Earth physically do with all the CO2? There is definitely an answer to that question which is non-ideological and unbiased, and, unfortunately, only really known for certain by Mother Nature.) All such questions, in fact, have answers that are, very much, non-ideological, and unbiased. Unfortunately, they are not really perceptible by humans without help. Sometimes our science can help, sometimes our knowledge of psychology can help, etc. But that's where our ideologies will come in. Only human perception of these very physical states, and their implications, are ideological. Because the ideology is augmenting the base reality with something we can understand. Something comfortable and intuitive for us.

Sorry for rambling. I think someone else might be able to explain it better. But it's my best shot at explaining why I think AR is a pretty good analogy for ideology.

Private functions do not restrict the usage of that function to one point in the code. There's a world of difference between a coding convention - essentially a comment to say "please don't access this function from outside the current class" versus it simply being impossible to do so. And the "private" convention does not say "don't use this function at any other point except one", it says "please don't access this function from outside the current class", which is completely different to the point I make. Anonymous inline functions reduce lines of code and complexity.

>>because it does not want to promote that style.

Why would Python not want to promote a more readable, simple, powerful, reliable and maintainable programming style?

Can you reference anything to back this assertion?
The AP can make the decision as to whether or not it's possible. It has data about how well the packets are getting through on both bands (as long as the device probes both bands). If it sees that 5GHz is working, but the device is using 2.4GHz, then it can disconnect it from 2.4GHz. But if 5GHz doesn't work, then it can allow the client to stay on 2.4GHz.

Clients do pretty stupid things, which is why the AP is the right place to control this sort of thing. (If you have more than 1 AP, then you have signal strength data from the other APs, and AP A can disconnect the client and force it to use AP B. This seems to work better than letting the client decide on its own.)
Will it be exposed on the iPhone XR (the "mass market" model)?

Presumably it will be supported on the upcoming iPad Pro and iOS' (mOS?) Arm laptop.
How do you think Bitcoin Cash was built?

Major miners wanted block size increase but most of the rest of the world thought segwit was enough at that time and miners had to fork it off without taking over the original.

Miners can't go against the will of the users, especially if exchanges aren't going to like their changes as they won't be able to cover their bills.
When Python first appeared, the things I remember striking dynamic languages people were strange scoping, no "proper" GC, but particularly being designed to prevent efficient implementation. It was an opportunity to get research computing off Tcl, though.
I don't think "like" is the word I would use. I don't "like" or "dislike" my power drill, but it is more efficient than a screwdriver or hand drill, it gets the job done, and it rarely leaves me wanting for something bigger or with more features.

By the same token, Slack fulfills a need and does so adequately; its features are enough to do interoffice communication without having to fall back on email or texting. I'm sure there are better tools out there, and Slack is definitely slower on our Core i3 based workstations compared to our beefier machines, but we don't "like" or "dislike" it.
Thats a good point. I mixed up the iPad Pro 2 with the 6th Gen iPad from 2018. The 2018 iPad just squeaked through my threshold for having enough data to be included here, so it's possible that this is just noise. I'll dig into the variance as more data comes in. The article is updated to reflect it. Thanks!
Are there any apps I can use that would let me see the difference in performance? Or even just use the Neural Engine for anything outside of the built-in camera app and the Measure app.

EDIT: I see that Heartbeat is mentioned in the article, but I'm also still wondering what else is out there.

I found it was easy to write Nim coming from Python and doing a few tutorials I found around the web and some programming puzzles. The advanced features like macros, tempates, generics, etc. are harder to learn, but I haven't needed them yet so far. I did have to dig into the actual library source code several times because the documentation is quite sparse, and for things like async and parallel programming there aren't many examples to pull from at all. However, I find it's way easier to program in Nim with static typing and the applications I write are much faster than Python, even without the crutches of numpy operations, pandas dataframes, and the huge Python ecosystem.
The same can be seen in the fortran community. The common factor is that both languages are case insensitive. All upper case makes no sense whatsoever.
Agreed. Furthermore, nothing guarantees that them being good actors now won't be changed when they get acquired by a media giant. Policy and culture can and have changed overnight in organizations after acquisition.

It's the same as with Troy's argument about good browser extensions. Yes they are good today but them being bought for 5 figures and the personal data harvested does not make the news and the users are clueless about it. I rather just not take the risk.
This is a great question with many great answers. The process of discovering those answers will illuminate huge swaths of the computer science landscape beyond the tiny, relatively insignificant patch that people call "programming."

You are about to embark on a great adventure. I wish you luck on your quest!
SpaceX is national security launch services provider, no way he is going to jail.
Crazy. Is the use case for these types of instances pretty much designated for ML? Why else would anyone need these?
However the tweet started, the fact that it included the phrase “funding secured” is the kiss of death, and the SEC and DOJ will be even less interested in “shorts” conspiracy theories than everyone else is.
He or she should react professionally and prudently, the same way they should strive to react to all professional adversity.
You can't just make wild claims like that without providing a coherent argument and expect people to blindly believe you. I actually had to re-read your comment a few times to figure out if it was some kind of satire of cryptozealotry.

In your comment you state, without any source or reasoning behind your claims, that:

- Finite supply of currency is good

- Inflation is bad

- Bitcoin is "best money"

- Everything else is bad money

What about the fact that deflation means that people are incentivized to stash money instead of spending it (something you admit doing yourself)? What about the fact that it means that the rich becomes richer while doing nothing while the poor can't make money because nobody wants to spend it? Don't let greed blind you. How does society work if your main form of currency is meant to be "hodled" and people who spend it are ridiculed as suckers?

Bitcoin is currently near-useless as a currency because it's mostly an asset for speculation. How is that going to change in the value of bitcoins keeps increasing by virtue of being artificially capped?

That's what kills cryptocurrencies: you need the deflation to reward early adopters but in the end it means that your currency is effectively unusable as a currency.
I'm curious, does "reasonable" actually matter in a case like this? Say he tweeted "I just killed someone LOL" and the stock price drops. Could that also be construed as misleading investors?
I'll throw in my recommendation for Ghost if others also want to move their blog to "a site they control and a company they pay":

https://ghost.org/

They provide paid hosted services, or you can self-host it as it's free and open source (https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost). Far better than wordpress. You write posts in Markdown. Editor is really nice.

Citations are not needed, my friend. This is not a college report or a Wikipedia article. This is a discussion. But since you made a bunch of loose cannon statements without citations yourself...

Peter Thiel himself would tell you, that "he would never compete with Musk" [1]. He went on to say, in an interview with Rubin, "...after Paypal, Elon set off to start both the rocket company and the electric car company, Space X and Tesla, and I think the conventional wisdom about Elon was that if one of them succeeded, you'd have to question it, but when both of them succeeded, it suggests, you know, he knows something that other people don't."

I'm not going to comment on SpaceX. As CEO since 2002, Musk is instrumental in the operations of SpaceX, and ultimately the buck stops with him. [2]

As for Hyperloop, that was an idea that Musk put forward. I imagine that he would create a Hyperloop company, if he wasn't already CEO of two companies (SpaceX, Tesla) and core founder of a third (The Boring Company).

Tesla could die tomorrow and you would still have to call the company a huge success. 10 years ago, nobody thought that big oil's hold on the transportation industry would ever end. The establishment auto companies piddle paddled for decades with fuel cells [3]. Even by missing whatever bold milestones Tesla has ever set for itself, it has surpassed any other company's progress in producing oil-free autos. Now, it's within reach, and that's in no small part due to Tesla.

Sure, I suppose you can look at quarterly profit, if that's your sole metric for success. And I suppose a lot of bean counter types would look at that metric, but what I'm telling you is, if you only looked at metrics like that and raw odds of financial success...those same bean counter types would never, ever take the same risks that Musk took.

By the way, Amazon was criticized for years for never showing a profit, they kept re-investing their profits in their business [4]. And what they've transformed themselves into is a nearly unstoppable behemoth. That's because Bezos is a visionary, like Musk. And people like that, are not a dime a dozen. They're exceedingly rare.

They could also be ideologically driven. This seems like an attempt to run a company like a Randian free market utopia.

Unsurprisingly, it loses out to a well-ran, centrally managed, autocratic command economy, that fosters competition between different teams, and also, by force, compels co-operation between different departments.
BCH fees would stay this low even with 30x Bitcoins transaction volume.
This is a civil case, but the DOJ is investigating as well, so you might be right.
Why not? SpaceX will tick along without him, and he won’t leak classified material because then the prison he’d be in would deep and dark indeed.

I have my browser set to delete all cookies every time I close it. I've been doing this for years but lately, every time I decide to alter my search settings, I get a Captcha. I have tested this at work and it does the same thing there.

I suspect that this is intentional and a way to punish people who are trying to avoid tracking cookies.
Advice I received from a logic programming researcher concerning my own attempts to make a C++ logic programming library: "I think that a good model [...] is rewriting not lambda calculus."

Yet I still struggle to find a good way to integrate that as a DSL. The problem is that it is natural to use functions and lambdas of the host language to package usage of the DSL expressions, but that is a leaky abstraction: you need variables of the logic DSL to act nonlocally, yet you would like to be able to reason locally about branches of the full expression tree. These are mutually exclusive. For functional programming we want to treat the terms as values, but for non-local connections (same variable in two different subexpressions) we need variables to have semantics of pointers. And what of memory management...
`self` is about being explicit with parameters. Rust does the same thing and that's a more "modern" language.

The `__magic__` is about avoiding naming conflicts while still being explicit. It's a choice between magic or reserving a lot of names.

Exactly my stance on whitelisting advertising. I am sure there is a good amount of fair advertisers out there, but the area at large is full of scum.

I would start with a full-on disable of 3rd party JS but I know that would break a whole lot of other and actually needed functionality. So I have no good solution except not to trust anyone. Pi-Hole is my next stop as well.
I think OP's point is to credit Musk for the agency in organizing those fine engineers around tackling these problems. Together they had the ability to achieve these things, but that state of togetherness does not arise accidentally. Entirely seperate from his contributions to the engineering going on, building a company is an act.
so, taking off in an airplane should rank very high on that list. the "potential" for all the things listed there is very high. also love the "but not limited to" before a laundry list.

How is a component called BlueButton more informative than <button class="blue">? The information content is exactly the same.

Now, more than likely the component isn't called BlueButton and the CSS class isn't called "blue" but rather both would have a name more semantically appropriate.
Agreed this would be a tradgedy, if Tesla and it’s truly ground breaking innovation, is killed off, by a boring SEC parasitic bureaucrats, anally following rules, for rules sake. Yes the SEC has some purpose, to protect investors from outright fraud, they don’t need protection from taking late night impetuous tweets from notoriously emotional Musk too seriously.
Tesla is not a fly by night sham, it is a serious long term business, and with inherent risks involved.
Musk is obviously a genius and of course eccentric, he is still indespensible to Tesla.
Reminds me of when the UK government destroyed their own genius of the 20th century - Alan Turing - please don’t repat the same tragic mistake.
