Ask HN: Do Musk companies do things differently/better?
Is working for a Musk company as stupid as working for every other big company?

I know about much of the bad stuff -- the racism, sexism, union-busting, humiliation and bullying and steve jobs-wannabe-ism stuff -- but is there anything good?

for instance, do you have team-building exercises?

or, do you do daily standups?

i'm guessing that you are 'doing things' that you are justifying as awesome, or world-saving, etc. -- but i'm just trying to get down to whether or not there is any corporate, large-ish company out there that isn't like every other corporate, large-ish company out there.

I would guess not, mainly because I feel like the types of people who really thrive in a Musk company are those same folks who would thrive at places like McKinsey, Uber, etc.

There may be top engineers, etc., but the manager-types are the folks who run these places, and i suspect they're horrible like most other manager types -- except worse.

I think I'll just continue to imagine that such a company exists.

Maybe when Humanity 2.0 emerges after the nuclear winter, a few thousand years from now.
Is there a way to monetize other than by subscription? $1/y is both too little (for the operator) and too much (for the user) at the same time.
Having learned some Ruby over the years, and seeing how elegant Elixir is, leads me to the question: Is Elixir‘s type System strong enough to make refactoring worry-free (eg compared to Ruby)?
Why doesn't Amazon just remove ratings from users that return the items rated if they are good ratings?

I'd highly suspect support folk are saying it's an error because they have no idea what is happening so that counts as an 'error', and "it will get fixed" is a guess/hopeful assumption to fob the user off.
They tested the same typeface twice.

Noto Sans is an extended family of fonts based on Open Sans that covers more languages. The design of their glyphs is exactly the same (being Open Sans). Yet the results place Open Sans last at 254 WPM, and Noto Sans 8th at 272 WPM…

Because there is no algorithm news feed, finding new people to follow across the whole fediverse can be a challenge. If you instead find an instance that aligns with your interests, you can easily find other people on the same instance by looking at the Local feed.

Also it is not 100% true that every post bubbles to every instance because instance admins can blacklist other instances.
Have you seen his previous employment though?

He's exposed to enough corporate work. https://www.linkedin.com/in/evjang/

If he doesn't like this place, he can just make another post like this and I am sure ML startup CEO and ML division heads will be flooding his inbox.
Great resource!

I agree TDD is a good way to learn a new language.

One of my favorite books Exercises for Programmers (https://www.programmingbooks.dev/extra/#exercises-for-progra...) promotes this approach as well.
Wow that's clever. Scary and clever. I might try it out.
It’s almost too obvious what needs to be done. Elon is going to make the last 10 years of Twitter look embarrassing.
Right, so the software has been updated, but the documentation hasn't for some reason.
The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.

Regulate all you like. Honey Badger does not give a shit.
Pick up to what point?
Why? Twitter is actually going to get some real improvements after 10 years of crap.
Thanks for providing some insight in how WhatsApp did this with Erlang!

Is all of the logic to support runtime upgrading inside Erlang/OTP, or does the software you write have to be written (partly) in mind with runtime upgrades as well?

Also, thanks for the hint regarding cp/install. I figured that the kernel would recognize an open descriptor to the old file and keep that old copy until all references are gone.
Depends on how many oceans we simultaneously want to be able to fight major wars on.
Don't tell us, you're here all week... ;)
Renewables produce a lot of kilowatts to the system. The issue is that they translate into kilowatt_hours_ unevenly.

On some days you have so much overproduction that electricity is practically free and on others the price will go insanely high.

We still need a reliable base load - and Nuclear is the only one of those that can be constructed pretty much everywhere. Hydro is good, but there are only so many rivers you can dam without damaging the ecosystem and there is a finite number of locations. Wave/tidal power is looking good, but it needs to be next to an ocean.

Maybe the 2020's is when we get a reliable and cost-effective way of storing electricity overproduction on a grid scale.
You should be looking for the median new car price, not the mean. The mean can be greatly impacted by a few million dollar supercars.
That probably matter a lot.
It would be nice to allow something like Go's:

import "std" _

Which would allow using functions like print directly.
These patterns might seem abstract and obscure at first, but have proven tremendously powerful in practice to me.

The current project I’m working on in Rust has a big recursive data type with quite some branches and different instantiations of recursive positions. Box/Vec/Option etc.

By parametrizing the enum with a type variable and tying the knot with a type level fixed point combinator gives you back the originally intended data type. But now suddenly you can put annotations in the recursive positions as well, use generic cata/para and other higher level combinators. Fun and powerful stuff!

(The lack of HKT in Rust can be challenging, but it’s mostly easy to work around it)
So yes, neither honesty nor introspection is on offer.

> Supporting assholes is pretty hard hearted dude.

Nowhere did I write I support anybody. And you don't know my gender / dudeness.

> You are literally condoning them harassing other people.

Nowhere did I condone anything, neither literally nor figuratively.

> abusing their significant amount of power

Nowhere was abuse of power discussed.

You asked me whether I "perceive people in powerful positions being assholes as a problem?" and I said no. You don't know my perception beyond that, the only information you have about me is that my perception differs from yours.

In response you very rudely and judgmentally insulted me in a condescending manner. You mentioned that you experienced unnecessarily aggressiveness towards me. Your own words.

You claim you are all about kindness but then you proceeded to gaslight about being judgmental. And now you're digging in and just making things up and acting like a jerk.

Phoney kindness selectively extended only to people you find agreeable is no kindness at all. It is how you treat people different than yourself that reveals your true colors. You are simply a bully.
You know, what is even less divisive than no jokes? No communications at all.

Humor not only has very important social functions, but I can tell you that literally every team that is in a tough spot and needs to pull through will rely on humor to keep motivation at some point.

The important distinction I'd like to stress though is that joking together is something different than joking about someone.
The better solution would've been to replace ramshackle coal plants with renewables first and then start replacing nuclear with them.

Now they're replacing nuclear with coal and renewables, which seems completely bonkers.
This is the way reality works. You can’t escape from the strongest man in the world. Burying your head in sand doesn’t cut it.

Twitter does put a lot of stuff from people one doesn’t follow in their feed though. I imagine the problem would be a lot less severe if they didn’t push for this kind of “engagement.”
Wow, that's deep! Where is the line drawn?
Quit right before it actually improves after years of stagnation?
I don't know! Which is exactly why I ask the question.

I think it would be a nice option to have, especially on systems that are supposed to run for a long time.

I _guess_ it often involves bringing parts of the system down, or living with multiple versions of code inside your system.

I know a little bit about how Erlang does it, but I have never seen a real-world example using Smalltalk. I suspect there must be, since Alan Kay emphasizes "growing" software in some of his talks.
is there a place to read up on relays (in general, or specifically misskey to mastodon/plemora)?

I'm trying to populate my own server's timeline with stuff that won't scare off people, really.

I don't know about manganese vs lithium, but with potential iron batteries the fact that iron ore production is already 1000s of times larger means that the impact of adding battery production won't be as big.

If you have to do 1% more of something it's probably not a problem. If you have to do 900% more of something - it will likely become a problem.
Tangential, but there was an interesting Lex Fridman podcast recently featuring Michael Saylor, on the advantages of bitcoin as a 'property' as opposed to a 'security' (such as shares).

I mention it here as I hadn't thought about this beforehand, and many examples were given in that podcast of the advantages of property (bitcoin, real estate, barrel of oil) compared to securities (shares). Less potential for conflict of interest, stronger concept of ownership and stability over time.
For access to libraries, and familiarity to programmers, this is probably the best shell replacement.

Elon Musk opined about buying Twitter after Babylon Bee ban
I don't want to sound dismissive, but that's the naive answer. Transparency may make it easier to understand for the 95% easy cases, but doesn't help for the rest and may even be counterproductive. Think about shadow-banning (even HN does it): it's very effective because it's based on the absence of transparency. Sometimes people do bad stuff and you don't want to tell them everything you know on the case because it may tip them about who reported these things (think about harassment/doxxing cases) or how you investigated it and so help them change their strategy next time (think about spam issues).

A lot of these “well actually” people seem to be driven by “you think you’re better than me?”
He’s going to 10x that 43B into 400B and use it for electric cars, solar panels and going to Mars. Twitter has been 10 years of wasted potential that is about to be unlocked.
The board cannot unilaterally decide the share price. The deal will only be finalized once, among other things, it's approved by shareholder vote. But that is largely a formality. The largest shareholders are going to be institutional and not ideological, and $54 is way higher than most (all?) estimations for Twitter's value. Incidentally the same reason that refusing this deal would have exposed the board to personal legal risk.

As for why it's fair - a share doesn't represent ownership of a company, it represents a voting share in an abstract entity. Normally these are pretty close to the same thing, but there are important distinctions - such as here. When Twitter goes private the abstract entity it used to be will cease to exist, along with all voting rights in such.
Nowadays there are also print on order services which helps a lot to start selling books.
"Remember, It's not a lie if you believe it"- Sir George Costanza
I understand exactly what happened. The parent brought up an example of how Jews and Asians were discriminated against as a means to try and make it seem like "woke" people are ignoring discrimination against Jews and Asians. In reply, I said why I believe we focus more on discrimination against black/latino/gay people. No one is ignoring discrimination against Asians.
The problem is that no one on Earth buys used music CDs due to the Amazon.com best seller ranks. The whole SEO spammer idea is nonsensical in this case, and I highly doubt Amazon is trying to target SEO spammers buying thousands of copies of used Audio CDs. I'm like 99.9% certain it's a mistake.

USB chargers? HDMI cables? Sure, I'd buy your SEO spammer theory that people are messing with the product rankings somehow.

But not used music CDs. You search Amazon for the used CD you already know you want, pray they have even one copy, then buy it. I don't think in 20+ years of buying CDs online, I've ever looked at a best seller rank.

But the real problem with your theory is that there aren't many copies of these things! Certainly not "thousands" as you implied. There's like…two (if you're lucky, a lot of times Amazon doesn't have any 3rd party sellers and you have to check eBay or whatever). I don't see how buying two used CDs, then returning them 30 days later to a 3rd party seller, helps anything with the best seller ranking.
Eating is the consumption of matter for the continued survival of the organism. Breathing is the consumption of matter for the continued survival of the organism. Ergo, breathing is eating.
If you both debate in bad faith you get to that point. It’s not “curious conversation”

The problem is people choosing emotions over rational discourse and establishing footing and common ground. A lot of commenting is in the vein of “I am right and you are going to hear me out (or else)!”

Before Hitler came to power laws against "hate speech" were already in place from the century before. He used the fact to depict himself as an outcast until he came to power and curbed freedom of speech to a far more significant degree.

Suffice to say that censorship was pretty prevalent through the history of Germany and it did not provide the advantages some had hoped.

And the allies did censor speech that is true.

> The representative of the Allied forces admitted that the order in principle was no different from the Nazi book burnings, although unlike the burnings, the measure was seen as a temporary part of the denazification program.

In that case the measure can be understood as the country was full of Nazi propaganda and alternative media was more or less dead. But it was indeed temporary and the Allies also wrote Germany's constitution, which explicitly forbid censorship.
The Digital Markets Act [1] was just passed in the EU. It does exactly that. Enforce interoperability for "gatekeepers". I think Twitter is not quite big enough, yet, though.

Do you keep an engineering log for yourself?

If not, then start one as that's the easiest way to review what the concerns of the day were back then, and to begin to see where having history starts paying dividends.

Otherwise, something like the principle of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prudent_man_rule -- ie. were you parachuted into this project, which decisions would need rationales?

Do you mean the one that attempted a coup and utterly failed, like all the things in his life?
I don’t think there is another person in the entire world that managed to bankrupt not one but TWO casinos.
And I think that you guys are very lucky that he didn’t succeed in his half-assed coup, otherwise you would help Russia instead of Ukraine, and would have become soon after that a bankrupt state with all the world against, same as Putin current track record.
Sure, value for value.

I could form a business entity, open a PO box, create an <insert payment processor here> account, and accept value from those who use the service. People could pay whatever the service is worth to them. Some are in circumstances such that they're unable to pay. Those with means may be able to contribute more - it's whatever the service is worth to them. Value for value.
Those employees that have stock options are about to get rich.
Maybe I'm still not familiar enough with HN's algorithm but was a bit surprising to see this topic with 180 points in one hour is now on the second page since I last checked about ~15 minutes ago, while others hours older with less points are on the first page.
You could have very well built an extension for this..
The gyronavigator work becomes about the sailor we want to bring home; about the calibration technician we save time and headaches.

What if the person paying the sailor doesn't want to pay to fix the slightly buggy navigation system, or if the person paying the technician doesn't care if they have to spend time on calibration? Then the reason to pay to do the work drifts to the "why" by default - its safer to navigate with a working system, it's cheaper to calibrate if there are fewer headaches.

"Start with why" is about startups, and building products to sell to people, as much as it is about the reason to do work. A lot of the time you can frame that as a "who" to justify how you spend your time, but if you're building a startup you'll sell more focusing on the "why", because people don't always value the "who" if they're paying the bill but they're not the user.
What is a CCP. What is a CSM.
Do you have a primary source for that? I don't mean news reports saying that, i mean actual legal documentation saying that's how it works? Because there's a lot of misinformation going around, and a lot of new outlets confusing cause and effect.

I find it hard to believe that would be the case, since it's needlessly discriminating against a single shareholder. The underlying game theory aspects mean that giving the hostile acquirer the warrants would be essentially irrelevant since they have no benefit in exercising them, while suffering the costs of doing so.

In short, there's no point in preventing elon from being able to purchase additional shares from the company below the acquisition offer because it would just be a waste of money for him.
This is an honest question because I really don’t get it: what problem does this solve, especially with regard to “distributed domains”?
I had a bit of a disappointing moment recently when I found out that only top level domains are uncensorable in handshake. Such a let down.
I though that about support too, that's why I posted here.

I'm certain it is unintended, but who knows if anyone in a position to fix it at Amazon is even aware of the issue. The front page of HN is a great way to give it some visibility…

Regarding #2, it isn't so simple for the board, they have large institutional shareholders and sovereign wealth funds, including activist Elliot Management who can sue the board if they think the board is accepting a offer too low. Elliot[1] famously sued the country of Argentina and seized one of their warships when they defaulted on their debt which Elliot owned, they're the ones who pushed for Dorsey's exit, interesting to see if they will take the offer or squeeze Musk

Erm.

I used a word processor on the C64. Spreadsheet software. Paint programs. Vector graphics editors. Ran a BBS, nightly sending email all around the world via Punternet(like fidonet), shared files, ebooks, etc, etc.

While there is more processing power today, outside of a web browser, maybe 70% of the stuff I do on a desktop has not improved with modern computing post 80s.

You keep posting this same statement over and over again -- it's starting to look like you're pushing an agenda.

The truth is, that no, corporations do not have overriding fiduciary obligations to their shareholders in the simplistic way that you seem to be inferring. This cannot be legally enforced so expeditiously. You seem to be taking your position from youtube and political opinion pieces (e.g., reframing the vindictive and opportunistic threats of right-wing AGs) rather than corporate law.

In this case, we can expand your previous statement to also include:

It’s insane to think that kids can be cis gendered because a huge part of what makes us men or women happens during puberty.

So given both of those positions, exactly what point are you trying to make in relation to this thread besides trying to imply that prepubescent transgendered kids don't exist, when they clearly do by their own accounts as adults?

No the same, lsp-mode is part of the MELPA archive not GNU ELPA. So it's easy to install too but MELPA has no package signature verification. For commonly used packages I don't think it's a big problem, any funny business would be detected quickly.
Your face unlocks a certificate in the TPM (or Apple equivalent), and each device has unique certificates, so it's expected that you have to enroll for each device. The YubiKey has its own certificate, which is why it can be used everywhere without having to enroll it multiple times.

>This is where the magic of federation comes in...

No. This is where the great misinformation about federated social media comes in.

It's painted as being this great decentralised, liberated alternative to Twitter et al "If you don't like the instance you're on, just go elsewhere..."

The reality is; you can't take your data elsewhere. There's no way to download your post history from one instance and upload it to another. There's no way to download your post history from one instance and upload it to your own server, if you decide to self-host.

The so-called Fediverse is vastly over-hyped. It would be better named the Fragmentiverse.
