Depression != suicide. Depressed people don't usually kill themselves, even under modern circumstances where suicide rates are elevated because means of easy suicide are widespread[1].

You could have said the same thing about Apple 12 years ago.
The only way for the stock price to be reasonable is if Tesla completely replaces all of the listed car companies combined. That is not realistic, no matter what you think of Tesla’s products.
They'll just find another "fee" to tack on to make up for it.
>>Why not? Do you not value discussion, hearing new ideas, learning new concepts, having a soundboard for your thoughts

I do, but ultimately, I post because I want someone else to read what I said and comment on it(good or bad). It triggers the same release of oxitocin in my brain that seeing likes on a post does.
When did they freeze it?
I too think tesla is overvalued, but your comparison to ICE companies strikes me as missing that they have fundamentally different technologies those other companies are no where near developing on their own and will likely have to license. Tesla investors are betting that a lot of the ICE based car expertise will be worth just pennies on the dollar if the shift to electric cars happens en masse.
They’re first rate in the sense that they spend first rate money on it.

The major issue WRT Hollywood is that everyone is playing it mega safe, fixating on a genre or niche for years before changing tack. Before superheroes we had zombies, rom-coms, 3D, to name a few. Superheroes is mostly only notable because it has made so much money for such a long time, but it will eventually peter out; I’m not the only person I know who thinks there are too many supe movies to catch up with.
In principle. In practice, the "ReLU Algebra" is almost a linear algebra.

NN solutions end up being discontinuous stacks of linear regressions.

So it's not a bad place to start in explaining NNs. ReLU NN models are piece-wise linear.
Correlation is not causation, it doesn't really explain anything... I thought that by 2020 at least people on HN get that.
Their strategy hasn't been L5 at all, and they can't have invested in it so secretly that even those in the AV space (like me) wouldn't know about it, through talent exchange at the very least. AV is a pretty small world at the moment.
Because it conveys the usual horseshit “See??? COVID isn’t so bad!!!” sentiment that people just love to post on HN.
Does this potentially mean that as the OS evolves, the chip will likely become less efficient, as it becomes "out of tune"? Apple could mitigate this obviously.
This, but in 3D, could be incredibly useful for modelling.
I'd prefer not to have to keep making the "life or death" argument but people continually bring it up, probably to try to conflate it with the question of "should you be able to live comfortably without working?"

I would argue you can already live a comfortable life with a minimum of work (say 20h per week part time at big city minimum wage, $13/hr). For example, in Chicago you could rent a room with heating and AC, cook your own basic but flavorful meals, have healthcare through Medicaid and basic transportation on the bus/trains, thrift store clothing and a cheap cell phone with data plan for internet.
Doom was released to the general public in 1997. Are you saying Fruit Ninja’s code and assets have been similarly released?
It's not very relevant, but here is an open source code generator for "from scratch" x86-64 SIMD convolutional neural nets in C99:

https://nn-512.com/

The C99 code is stand-alone, with no external dependencies, and there are numerous example blocks to look at. The algorithms are state-of-the-art (multi-tile Winograd-Cook-Toom-Lavin, multi-tile strided Fourier, arbitrary dilated/strided convolutions with no im2col redundancy, etc.)

This has been posted several times already. It's sensationalist. Before anyone gets too excited, be aware that Jupiter (as one example) emits radio waves [1].

I don't think the researchers are necessarily suggesting an alien origin (honestly, shame on them if they are). It's more likely sensationalist reporting. It's almost certainly natural in origin.

Uh no, it isn't. You are literally better off throwing some money from your salary every week into lotto calls for options in real companies.
The distinction between a value-added vs. market-based salary approach is pretty obvious here. It's funny that they're doing market adjustments but then discussing 'fairness', markets are optimal but not fair.
Ready Player Two: The Upcoming Escape to Virtual Realities
When does the rate of IPOs become a bubble? I’ve heard talk in other sectors it’s when they trend to roll over immediately after release.
Someone old enough to organize and pull off such a sophisticated attack would be around in 65 years?

Surely there are shorter paths to ill gotten gains. Like running for political office.
Looks really nice!

I especially love the Infinite Loop Detection!

Computer Scientists may not be able to solve the Halting Problem for a big program -- but on the smaller scale of things, an infinite (or near-infinite) loop in assembler language CAN in fact be detected!

Brilliant!

(Now if only we could solve "near-infinite loops" in our human lives -- like wasting too much of our time doing the same thing over and over again every day... like watching repetitive TV shows, or spending too much time getting coffee, or reading too much Hacker News, or what-have-you! <g>)
By definition the average person will have mediocre merit so it makes sense that most people are biased against meritocracy.
GPT3 isn't even in the same domain as intelligence.

Statistical patterns in trillions of examples is a sideshow.

Words in natural language refer to the world; that is their point. Communication is the coordination of that reference between speakers in a shared environment.

You cannot take GPT3 to new york and ask it what it thinks of the city: it cannot be anywhere (it isnt causally connected to an evnironment); and it cannot coordinate with any listener (it has nothing to say).

Text generation is certainly reaching new heights. This isn't a form of communication, however, and isnt even relevant to it.
Well, there’s something to humans - testers in particular, who seem to be wired like hackers rather that programmers - that is superior to any fuzzing or “QuickCheck” approach. It’s the intuition, the art of second-guessing the mental model of the programmer that authored the code under test. That’s why it’s such a shameful tragedy to waste human capacity on scripted tests, the human factor should be authoring the automation.
I didn’t say everyone is going get rich joining a startup. But there’s a dozen startups from Airbnb to DoorDash to Roblox to Affirm to Coinbase to Robinhood that IPO’d this year or will next where early employees who had strike prices in the pennies or dollars will become very wealthy.
I misunderstood then. I thought it was MSFT partnering with Qualcomm to make them a CPU according to a list of design requirements MSFT had defined, including some native CPU-level design work from MSFT themselves.

Among British computer enthusiasts, Acorn was as well-known as Dell might be here. They're only obscure to the Yanks, who think they run everything in the computer trade because they have IBM, Microsoft, and Apple.
The main blockers are B and V extensions not being ratified yet.

They're close to ready and some chips are being released that support the drafts, but as these extensions are required for high performance implementations and as incompatible changes might still happen, these chips aren't going anywhere but embedded, where there's control over the whole stack.

And SBC devboards, where people will grab them with full awareness of this situation. Besides SiFive, there's the PicoRio, some new SBC SoC from Allwinner, and a successor for the kendryte k210. All meant to be purchasable in early 2021. Some of them with these draft extensions. Meantime, I am playing with FPGAs (iCE40 and ECP5).

I don't understand how come after all these years there is no rule when discussing salaries in terms of gross vs net.

Net Berlin 60k EUR is probably more than 100k USD gross.

And as far as I'm aware, 100k USD gross is median salary in the US.

Net Berlin 100k EUR is probably around gross 200k USD in the US.

The claim of the author's, that the "Lockdowns aren't science they're CCP propaganda" is not supported by this article at all.

At best it's saying china is bad and china supports lockdowns, therefore lockdowns are bad.

China running propaganda to whitewash it's image wrt pandemic response has nothing to do with the scientific support for lockdowns.
How it can happen without them? To build cars you need infrastructure, factories, and workers and these companies have that already.

There won’t be mass shift without these companies driving the shift, simply because there won’t be enough cars for the demand.
Tell that to Airbnb and DoorDash employees. And the thousand of employees who are working at companies going public in the next year.
> extremely elastic view of “like medieval Europe”.

No. Westeros is based on medieval Europe, culturally, politically, and historically. Obviously it's fiction, well done on spotting that, but it's a fictionalised version of medieval Europe.

I'm sorry, do I have to provide you with evidence that media impacts people's perception of things?
The best part of the article is a quote by G. Hinton, the father of "deep learning", at the end: "My view is throw it all away and start again, I don’t think that’s how the brain works."
You’re trying to value a company without looking at debt, so you’re missing the big picture.

Total Debt:

VW. $237B
GM. $192B
Toyota. $190B
Ford. $155B
Daimler.$108B
Nissan. $42B
BMW. $80B
Honda. $42B

So your market cap analysis missed ~$1 trillion of enterprise value in your comparison set.

Simply put, the stock market cap is the total company value minus the debt.

Tesla debt by comparison is $14 billion.

All those companies together being worth only about 3x Tesla is perhaps surprising, but the market is weighting for the possibility that their entire current product lines will be virtually unsellable if not illegal to sell in a decade or so.

> and will likely have to license

There are already a dozen other electric models on the streets. Why should they have to license from Tesla? The electric engine part of the vehicles is actually not that hard - it's the battery that is complicated and Tesla doesn't even produce the batteries in their cars. That's done by Panasonic.

VW, Toyota, Nissan have supply chain management under control, they don't need to learn it from Tesla.

Do you think Arm will allow MS to EEE their own ISA?
> and apparently being really rich meant showing of how many spices you could afford on your food. Pretty interesting and funny read/listen.

This isn't really changed, the only difference is that we have replaced some ingredients (pepper, cinnamon etc) with others (truffle, caviar etc).

It's far easier to find "high end" dishes made with exotic components than plain ones.
Isn't the point of patents that instead of ideas being kept secret (and often vanishing when their inventors die) they are published in exchange for a limited time monopoly on their use? In that case when a patent expires it does indeed become public domain.
When the Fed stops printing money and raises rates which they literally cannot do for years.
And that’s always been the case. The point is that joining any of those companies once they are notable and large means your strike and equity offering will be sufficiently small as to render it a nice consolation prize and probably (hopefully?) make up for the years you weren’t earning equity at a higher-paying public firm.

Yes, there are always people winning the startup lottery. That has never changed and nobody has ever claimed winning at it is impossible. No, there are not many of them and now is no better a time than any other.

By integrating everything rather than having a discrete GPU, you get performance benefits. With discrete GPU you can have beefer GPUs because you are given a bigger thermal budget. However you also loose performance from having to move data between CPU and GPU over a slow bus.
I noticed that too. The first 25 hours or so were flawless, until after you acquire the biochip. Then things start to get dodgy. I hope it wasn't some deliberate meta-art game development, where the player encounters real life bugs as V acquires them as the story progresses.
Whatever disk capacity you buy your data sits on multiple disks running 24/7. It costs electricity + maintenance when disks break.

TSLA owns all its dealerships, distributors, and importers. It is more vertically integrated, designing and manufacturing more of their own parts.

If you are YouTube, would you rather show joe schmo visitor a suggestion for accordion covers or a Cardi B video? Odds are they’re more likely to watch (and repeat watch) and share the latter.

> the entire problem, IMO, comes from the lack of liquidity in these shares

There's also the lockup period after an IPO during which a stock can be very liquid but employees are prohibited from selling.
What fundamentally different technologies do you believe they are nowhere near developing?

Multiple other manufacturers already make and sell EVs, in some cases outselling Tesla in their home territories.

Moreover, while Tesla assembles their own batteries, the underlying battery cells are made for them by Panasonic, which owns the IP to the chemistry. (Tesla's IP relates to the assembly, referring both to the process and the finished battery product.)

And that IP is only valuable until the inevitable switch to solid-state batteries, which have significantly more capacity and durability than anything on the market today. And other automotive companies have already acquired exclusive licenses to the most (commercially) promising research.

I sent Frontier's router back the day my service was installed, yet they still charge me $10/month for the last two years to rent it.

I'm not sure I agree. How many tech IPOs have there been this year? 20 or 30? Of those 20 or 30 companies, how many of their peers at founding (~2010-2013) have survived?

If I take knowledge of 2020, go back in time, and take a job, it seems like a great deal. If I'm back in 2010 or 2011, and take only knowledge of the world at that time, would I have chosen AirBNB? I'm not sure.

Even if I did, what are the odds I could/would stick around long enough to make it to the IPO -- or was willing to exercise illiquid stock at departure with years to go before the stock can be sold?

To make it fair, one should of course also consider companies which did not IPO but had good acquisitions. I'm not sure what that number is, 300? 3000? Still, across a field of 20,000 or more startups it is unclear how I'd get to this smaller set.

I think there are def things that can increase the odds, but I dont think it is fair to look backwards using 2020 knowledge.
I'm not trying to be judgmental, but I believe it might be worth it for you to re-evaluate some activities to assess what they really are at their core if you're pursuing mindfulness in time spending. Not acknowledging things for what they are can hold you back.

Just because HN doesn't have formal attributes of addictive social media like tailored feeds, shiny pictures, endless scrolling, etc., it doesn't mean that it's very different. I'm saying that, because I managed to get rid of almost all addictive sites, but HN sticks, and I still spend far more time here than I'd like to admit. If you look at it closer: this is an _endless_ list of _news_ with _a lot_ of _comments_ from your _peers_ that you _engage_ with. If you take words in italic it's obvious that this is exactly what makes other social media addictive. "News" and "peers" are the most important words here of course.

In a way, I believe sites like HN are even worse than others because they are somewhat disguised. I shrug FB, twitter and instagram easily (never actually even got into them), Reddit was harder but their stupid redesign made it much easier, HN sill stands for me.
That shows he's learned from a few mistakes, and it's well established in show that he was always pretty good at being a bullshitting salesman to close deals for mundane purchases like corporate paper (perhaps before his mind went a bit foggier with age). It doesn't outweigh the 10 times per season his bad choices did damage to the company, morale, or someone's life.
They may be confusing it with other Venuses like the Venus of Willendorf - there has been some discussion around the possibility https://www.jstor.org/stable/2744349 - but the Venus of Hohle Fels has no head so the argument is more difficult to make for it.

I also think being a self-portrait doesn't preclude the possibility it was pornographic or the more conventional (but imo also nearly equivalent) interpretation of them as fertility fetishes, as the original reply implied.

Once I get our current product in a good spot WRT maintainability and sales pipeline, I am planning to spend some time (~6 months) looking at developing ultra-low latency developer tooling. I feel like I can deliver these experiences through a browser using some clever tricks.

Going through my current project has really worn me out with regard to tolerating UX slowdowns in developer tools. I am getting so incredibly tired of how shitty visual studio performs on a threadripper with effectively infinity ram. I've had to turn off all of the nice features to get our codebase to be even remotely tolerable. And, dont get me wrong. This is not a plea to Microsoft to fix VS. I think everyone involved can agree that fundamentally VS will be unfixable WRT delivering what I would consider an "ultra-low" latency user experience (mouse/keyboard inputs show on display in <5ms). Any "fixing" is basically a complete rewrite with this new objective held in the highest regard.

Current developer experiences are like bad ergonomics for your brain. This madness needs to end. Our computers are more than capable. If you don't believe me, go play Overwatch or CS:GO. At least 2 independently-wealthy development organizations have figured it out. Why stop there?

Bigcorps are veto-driven as no one wants to be the one to kill the cash cow, and VPs will do unethical things as long as they are legal and benefit the company + their immediate team, justifying it as 'good business leadership.' So jailtime and meaningful fines shifts burden from 'a fee smaller than your bonus / company profit' to 'oh shit.'

Truly bug and evil stuff happens, but most normal VP politics has email + file trails due to design docs, legal agreements, etc. Harder part seems like knowing what to subpeona and in time :)
Well funded private startups have competed with the FAANG on compensation for years. They in fact overcompensate to make up for lack of liquidity and inherent risk you take. Those employees who took the Airbnb offer are doing way better than if they took an equivalent role at a Google or Facebook.

The point is the term “lottery” is like a 1 in a million chance or more. Startup options are not a 1 in a million random scratch off ticket. You make an informed decision about a company when you decide to join just like a VC would. It isn’t like you’re picking a company to work for at random.
