Wow. You should really, really write a blog post about this, and get some of them on the record about it. A Google search for 'Aneityum "yellow people"' returns only 4 results.

However, one of those four is this dissertation: https://scholarsbank.uoregon.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/1794...

Which reads:

>His canoe and his moiety were the first to adopt the chiefly system, and it was brought to Aneityum by natimi-yag (yellow-people), which he now believes to have been Polynesian.
in california that number is closer to 50% than 36%, but yeah i agree that its probably not worth it though maybe they thought they were untouchable due to their position
According to the blog post mentioned earlier[0]:

1. Their kernel implementation is effectively just a paravirtualized proxy to the Windows DX API. So it won't be useful for bare metal users.

2. Only the kernel driver is open source (and presumably that is only thanks to the GPL). The user-mode library is a proprietary component shipped with Windows. I assume this is also DRMed to only work on top of Hyper-V/WSL2, just like many of their VSCode extensions deliberately block usage with unbranded builds (see also: AARD code[1], this isn't exactly new for them).

It's funny to keep seeing people post this exact same comment regarding Tesla's valuation, on every single earnings report since 2012.

I mean, it's obviously going to come true at some point following a stock price growth to S&P500-dominating levels. It's always been richly valued and that is as true today as ever. The laws of physics prevent this from continuing forever, and the likelihood is great that there will be a correction downwards at some point, perhaps dramatic.

But it's a bit farcical to read this almost word-for-word identical opinion again and again and again and again, starting from a point in time where the stock price was 0.5% of what it is today.
I'd consider just making a point of using "they" in a reply instead. Much less confrontational, and gets the idea through to those receptive to it.

It's worth calling out occasionally, such as correcting when the preferred pronoun is known to you, but otherwise it usually just details discussions.

That's key. Enterprise value is essentially debt + equity, and other car makers have much more debt than Tesla.
Read the book This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends: The Cyberweapons Arms Race by Nicole Perlroth

There’s a few chapters in the beginning about the history of the exploit market. Haven’t finished it yet.

To my knowledge it’s not illegal to sell vulnerabilities. If you’re not a government contractor selling/contracting to the US government it would be illegal to sell exploit chains or working software that uses the exploits/malware what have you. The book touches on how they sold multiple of the same zero days to multiple agencies. It got to the point where one of the guys was like you (3 letter agencies) need to talk to each other and stop wasting taxpayer money.
I'm intrigued by the use of webapps in this way, but I really think we need a better solution for rebinding keys in the browser. I tend to use Emacs bindings (which practically every editor supports), but they are a bit of a mess in browsers because even extensions can't clobber bindings like C-n, and I recall having issues with C-w and C-p as well. Otherwise, very exciting to have high-quality, zero-install tooling like this!
Maybe, or maybe they particularly consider a hex edit to be an infringement on their image of the product and think it will harm their chances of selling the rights for a remake. Therefore they sue you because they can. If you can't ask for permission, you're not in a place to ask for forgiveness either.
Fewer cables is one reason.
You also can't discount the Supercharger network, which gives Tesla a huge advantage over every other auto manufacturer.

A few of the other comments had me curious, but while it's widely known that diseases brought over from Europe were devastating to the native populations of the Americas, are there any notable examples of transfer in the other direction - i.e. new diseases the Europeans encountered in the Americas that got brought back to Europe?

This definitely is a factor. Another thing that people frequently overlook is how competitive Zen 2 is with M1: the 4800u stands toe-to-toe with the M1 in a lot of benchmarks, and consistently beats it in multicore performance.

Make no mistake, the M1 is a truly solid processor. It has seriously stiff competition though, and I get the feeling x86 won't be dead for another half decade or so. By then, Apple will be competing with RISC-V desktop processors with 10x the performance-per-watt, and once again they'll inevitably shift their success metrics to some other arbitrary number ("The 2031 Macbook Pro Max XS has the highest dollars-per-keycap ratio out of any of the competing Windows machines we could find!")
Also anecdotally, I recently posted my resume on Hired and found that they had increased the duration of the "window" where they promoted your resume from 3 weeks (2 years ago) to 10 weeks. I also received interview requests at a far slower rate. This leads me to believe that usage by employers has gone down significantly on their platform, and consequently they may be getting fewer candidates as well. I'm not sure if they use their user base as the sample for their surveys, but if so, I wouldn't be shocked to discover that their data is lower-quality than it used to be

Tesla has been in my portfolio for a long time as well. NO plan to sell. The media has been saying to sell since 2013, goes to show what they know, which is not much.

You may do scripted demos or avoiding problematic errors. But usually you will have some kind of path to get where you want to be.

From what I have read Theranos had nothing. They had no idea how they could make their machines work. There was no new technology or new insight. They just lied blatantly.

That’s on a different level from the usual cheating people do at demos.
I had a previous co-founder have an outburst like this and I immediately cut all ties. It was one of the most astonishing un-professional things I'd ever experienced. It also hurt deeply because I'd largely considered this person to be my friend, until they started sending me threatening texts filled with vitriolic threats basically because things hadn't worked out for our concept. I believe mental health problems may have been the root of this, but it was a really bizarre experience.

I took a break from doing startup anything for about a year after that happened - I still have trust issues as a result of this experience. For anyone who thinks "radical honesty" or BS like that is effective in life or business, you're just going to look like an immature asshole or someone with serious mental issues.
The valuation is easy to justify if you assume e.g.:

(a) that they build robotaxis ~5 years ahead of competitors

(b) they continue to sell ~50% more cars each year (they have a stated goal of 20m cars/yr by 2030)

How much is a robotaxi worth? A regular taxi can drive ~100k miles/yr @ ~$2/mile. Let's say that Tesla robotaxis undercut on price by a factor of two, thus making ~$100k/yr in revenue. Let's say 50k goes to the buyer, and 50k goes to Tesla. Five years of that would be worth $250,000. Let's divide by two to be a tad more conservative. If you're selling 20m cars a year, that's $125,000*20m = 5T of value in cars in a single year. If Tesla were doing that in a single year, their market cap would be in excess of $10T]. If you think Tesla has a 1 in 10 chance of pulling off the above, then you'd expect a fair market valuation for them today of 1T — which is roughly what the market puts them at.

Plus add Tesla Energy, which could be as big as the car business.

Plus add Tesla Bots (labor), which is probably the largest market in the world.
You miss that Tesla is better in a given space than any of the leaders you mentioned. And not just better. More importantly, and this is why it is better, is that Tesla is a tech company in each of those spaces - eg. PG&E is an utilities company while Tesla is a tech company in the electric energy space. That is the half-trillion you're looking for.
It’s their personal responsibility to get vaccinated if they want to avoid that outcome
I don't think Tesla is priced as a car company. It's priced as a car company, solar company, grid-scale battery company, and potential self-driving taxi company. Whether that justifies their price I don't know (and suspect not), I just think it's misleading to look only at their car sales, even though that's the bulk of their business right now.
I'm not sorry for noticing that you are worried about being called a liar.
Yes, but why people don't bother using them? It can't just be an aversion to verbosity, since people do write unit tests - many of which could have been contracts instead. And it seems like there's increased interest in preventing bugs through more rigorous static code analysis these days (Rust etc), so why doesn't it come up in that context?

I think Tesla is on track to have significantly lower manufacturing costs than the rest of the industry. They've been solving some of the really hard production line challenges[0][1] and appear to have a lot of industry standard optimizations left to implement on top of those.

Viewing IQ as accelerated learning is a pretty good model on how to perceive gifted programs. Two cars can have different accelerations and engines, but which one can travel furthest will still depend on the environment. In addition, faster accelerated has its own associated risks. All cars are still unique and can still be admired as acceleration isn't everything in life.

Gifted and talented programs are one type of solution when fast learning children in combination with a somewhat supporting environment create a situation where they do no longer fit in the regular system, having to artificial slow down their own learning and development as a person. Racial disparities in this context is likely caused by a difference in supporting environments occurring much earlier in the childs life.
In 2012 the Air Force Research Laboratory built a supercomputer cluster from 1760 PS3s that I think was in practical use for a while[0]. I recall reading online that the Air Force struck a special deal with Sony to buy some of the last remaining PS3s that had not been updated to no longer support Linux installation during manufacturing, but that isn't mentioned in this source.

>The Condor Cluster project began four years ago, when PlayStation consoles cost about $400 each. At the same time, comparable technology would have cost about $10,000 per unit. Overall, the PS3s for the supercomputer's core cost about $2 million. According to AFRL Director of High Power Computing Mark Barnell, that cost is about 5-10% of the cost of an equivalent system built with off-the-shelf computer parts.

>Another advantage of the PS3-based supercomputer is its energy efficiency: it consumes just 10% of the power of comparable supercomputers.

I wonder how significant the cost and energy savings were by the time the project was finished, and how long the cluster was actually used.

Ranking the most data rich companies by sector
I don't disagree that there are many use cases for which more memory has diminishing returns. But I would disagree that those encompass 99.99% of use cases. Not all problems are embarrassingly-parallel. In fact, most problems aren't embarrassingly parallel.

It's just that we mostly use GPUs for embarrassingly-parallel problems, because that's mostly what they're good at, and humans aren't clever enough by half to come up with every possible way to map MIMD problems (e.g. graph search) into their SIMD equivalents (e.g. matrix multiplication, ala PageRank's eigenvector calculation.)

The M1 Max isn't the absolute best GPU for doing the things GPUs already do well. But its GPU is a much better "connection machine" than e.g. the Xeon Phi ever was. It's a (weak) TPU in a laptop. (And likely the Mac Pro variant will be a true TPU.)

Having a cheap, fast-ish GPU with that much memory, opens up use-cases for which current GPUs aren't suited. In those use-cases, this chip will "run circles around" current GPUs. (Mostly because current GPUs wouldn't be able to run those workloads at any speed.)

Just one fun example of a use-case that has been obvious for years, yet has been mostly moot until now: there are database engines that run on GPUs. For parallelizable table-scan queries, they're ~100x faster still than even memory databases like memSQL. But guess where all the data needs to be loaded into, for those GPU DB engines to do their work?

You'd never waste $150k on an A100 just to host an 80GB database. For that price, you could rent 100 regular servers and set them up as memSQL shards. But if you could get a GPU-parallel-scannable 64GB DB [without a memory-bandwidth bottleneck] for $4000? Now we're talking. For the cost of one A100, you get a cluster of ~37 64GB M1 Max MBPs — that's 2.3TB of addressable VRAM. That's enough to start doing real-time OLAP aggregations on some Big-Ish Data. (And that's with the ridiculous price overhead of paying for a whole laptop just to use its SoC. If integrators could buy these chips standalone, that'd probably knock the pricing down by another order of magnitude.)

I fully disagree with the author's assertions about the current state of hypertext being better than the 90's and 00's.

The 90's and 00's were peak hypertext: authoring, personal webpages, microformats, RSS/Atom, wikis, semantic web, P2P with DHTs and links, search engines, etc. The future of hypertext seemed boundless at this point.

What we have now are a proliferation of walled gardens with thin client interfaces exposed as JS/SPA applications. Databases with ads and engagement algorithms. Hypertext doesn't seem like a promising future, just a delivery shell to build your product.
> Apple really dragged their feet on updating the old Intel Macs before the transition

There was a Twitter post doing the rounds which I cannot locate now as my Twitter-search-foo is not strong enough. :-(

To summarise the gist of it: The post was made by someone on the product development team for the newly released MacBook Pro models, they referred to it as multiple years in the making.

So it may well be Apple were dragging their feet for good reason. They knew what was coming and did not want to invest further in Intel related R&D and did not want to end up with warehouses full of Intel-based devices and associated service parts.

People always think the old saying “an eye for an eye” is brutal and vindictive, but originally it was about proportion. An eye for an eye means that if someone takes your eye, you can be satisfied by taking their eye in return instead of taking their life. In that vein, I think fines are extremely just for financial crimes.
