The foundation of Musk's wealth, above all else, is that he operates as a one-man marketing machine. The funding for all of his ventures depends on Musk. The magnet for ravenous, loyal, intelligent nerds (and thus, the ability to eventually deliver on his promises!) is powered by Musk. The ability for any of his ventures to cover a failure to deliver with a PR/controversy storm -- yup, it depends on Musk.

I like your comparison with Big T. He is, in some sense, a sleeker and more savvy Trump. Trump does have a similar psychic energy to Elon, but he's an older model. He came from the TV world. Now, the TV world was pretty powerful -- it got DT elected president! But Americans are not living in the TV world this century; they're living in the social media world.

This is the origin of the Twitter thing. It's not about Twitter's profit, or free speech, or anything as lofty as that. Here's what happened with Twitter:

Trump got elected based, in part, on his statements on Twitter. Around the same time, Elon was astroturfing Reddit, Twitter, etc. to build the hype machine that eventually became the $1T social media product, Tesla.

Elon, consciously or not, came to realize that simply by his statements on Twitter, could manipulate the world to his whim. He fired the entire corporate PR team at Tesla. He realizes, why do I need a PR team? I can shape the narrative just as well with my social media account!

Then, BOOM! Trump gets banned from Twitter, and immediately disappears completely from discussion. Just like that, in the blink of an eye -- erased from public imagination. Do you remember how quickly this happened? He was black holed from the public imagination in a couple days. As soon as the trending hashtag disappeared, Trump was gone.

Elon saw this happen. He made the connection between his valuations and his Twitter account. And remember, at this point, Elon's compensation is basically tied entirely to the stock price. He realizes that leaving his podium on someone else's property is a mortal risk. And... here we are.

Twitter is pretty stupid not to have banned Elon as soon as he left the slightest hint of acquisition.

Musk does not come from a scientific or technical lineage: his father wasn't a geotechnical engineer, a computer programmer, or a physicist. He was a chiropractor. A chiropractor! This is the essence of Elon. He is the greatest influencer of our time.
It's clear at this point that the Southwest needs massive desalination plants on the West coast, nuclear power plants to power them, and pipelines to carry the water inland to the communities that need them.

This will cost tens of billions. So be it. Civilization is not cheap.

The AI learns proxy signals. Name, work experience, skills (e.g., an emphasis on A11Y) ... all have some predictive power for gender, for some sorts of disabilities, ....

You can fix the problem by going nuclear and omitting any sort of data that could serve as a proxy for the discriminatory signals, but it's possible to explicitly feed the discriminatory signals into the model and enforce that no combination of other data amounting to knowledge about them can influence the model's predictions.

There was a great paper floating around for a bit about how you could actually manage that as a data augmentation step for broad classes of models (constructing a new data set which removed implicit biases assuming certain mild constraints on the model being trained on it). I'm having a bit of trouble finding the original while on mobile, but they described the problem as equivalent to "database reconstruction" in case that helps narrow down your search.
I’m not sure he had any of those to lose (nor that, eg, Finland joining NATO is assured) — except the economy one, where the ruble is faring better than the dollar.

>If a CV reports short tenure at companies with long breaks in between (e.g. chronic illnesses or flare-ups leading to burnout or medical leave)

This is a case where it may benefit a candidate to disclose any disabilities leading to such an erratic employment pattern. I don’t proceed with candidates who cannot explain excessively frequent job hops because it signals that they can’t hold a job due to factors I’d want to avoid hiring, like incompetence or a difficult personality. It’s a totally different matter if the candidate justified their erratic employment due to past medical issues that have since been treated.

Huh, I always thought tilers re-ran their vertex shaders multiple times -- once with position-only to do binning, and then again when computing for all attributes with each tile; that's what the "forward tilers" like Adreno/Mali do. That's crazy they dump all geometry to main memory rather than keeping it in pipe. It explains why geometry is more of a limit on AGX/PVR than Adreno/Mali.
I don’t believe Russia had. 3:1 advantage though. I’m not even convinced they had more troops than Ukraine. The concentration of the troops was enough for early local differences. But they never had these kinds of numbers in, say, Kyiv.
Also this ratio is a guide for open terrain. In closed terrain and urban combat the defender has a greater advantage.
It may be widely supported but it's also nonstandard. You also have to use include guards anyway, so it's best to avoid pragma once altogether.

And as the article mentions, that doesn't always solve the problem.

Software world founder from the west in China doing robotics. Spent half the day churning out boards for a new version of a nontrivial mechanical assembly, half the day cutting metal and doing mechanical, half the day dealing with supply chain and half the day on business crap. Currently in a bar at 10:30PM and just knocked off outstanding supply chain work. Those parts ETA Sunday/Monday. Thinking I will work tomorrow because I'm excited to see some really cool stuff coming together. Seven years and counting! Hahaha. I am become rabbit, digger of holes. Seriously though, there's more to work than immediate payment.
No, that's bad formulation on my part (bad language skills and time pressure, i'm not used to debating on the net all day).

It never ceases to amaze me how many people consider some problems here on earth to be hopelessly intractable, but simultaneously consider a livable human colony on Mars to be not only achievable, but also not subject to the same supposedly intractable problems of today.
Your comment reminds me that I've only seen this distinction in terms of profit center VS cost center. Profit centers do business and get perks, cost centers support business and get the early layoffs.

The article's staff vs line distinction cuts it a little differently, and definitely gives a rosier picture of working in a staff role.
Yes, and the criteria for inclusion are interesting. According to https://www.oed.com/public/oldenglishintheoed/old, any word that survived in English after 1150 qualifies for inclusion, but once it is included examples of its usage may be taken from the earliest Anglo-Saxon literature, so back to about the year 600. So some of the usage examples are not very easy for a typical modern reader to understand, to put it mildly.
I work at a non-tech company. I mostly write/maintain unexciting components for a website's CMS, and any tertiary work around that. Easygoing, remote, great work/life balance, good pay. Often go fishing or work on projects like an ebike for a lot of the day, sporadically checking the work chat and tuning into meetings from my phone. On the rare occasion something really important comes up I'm always ready to jump in and give 100%. Established a good reputation and get great performance reviews for what I do. I'd probably never trade this for a job at Google et al with higher expectations and stress.

I'm using both, Thinkpad T460p and Macbook Pro M1 16'. The M1 of course wins easily in terms of performance, battery, screen and design. The Thinkpad still holds up quite well though and for most regular work tasks I don't feel the difference so much. The Mini LED screen is just great though, everything's super sharp. And as the new "top of the line" Thinkpads cost almost the same as a Macbook Pro I think there's very little reason to not switch to a Mac. MacOS is a bit weird and personally I like the KDE desktop way more as a power user, but it's still a good experience.

Famously, the Incan emperor Atahualpa had a lot more men than the Spanish conquistador Pizarro, and these soldiers were survivors of a major civil war with his brother Huascar, thus almost certainly very skilled. But the technological edge of the Europeans, plus the initial terror of the Incan soldiers unused to firearms, more than offset the 40:1 force ratio that Atahualpa enjoyed at the beginning of the battle of Cajamarca.

I have an M1. I compile Android apps in Android Studio a lot. For a small Android app without many bells and whistles M1 compiles fast (even faster than my Ubuntu laptop). However some Android apps I compile have some C/C++ code compiled with the NDK and accessed via JNI - and which now have to compile on an ARM chip - and that is a rigmarole currently ( https://github.com/android/ndk/issues/1299 ) to the extent that I am just sticking with Ubuntu on x86-64 until ARM is fully supported in Android Studio full release (not some alpha/canary version).

Also, I have never used the MacOS Active Trader Pro app, but I downloaded it to my M1 and it did not work, and online old Macbook users say it works and people with M1s say it has problems on M1.

So my experience is look to see what apps support M1 and ARM. I can tell you that Rosetta does not work for everything.

Apps were not working, and I put Rosetta in, and now some apps work and some don't. So this is another thing to look into.

(Side point - my work laptop is not an M1 and was force updated to 11.6.2 a few months ago. Now when the screen is unused for a few minutes and the computer sleeps or hibernates or whatever, I can't log back in any more half the time and have to shut down and reboot)
Does it matter?

Under the original plan, Musk needs to sell approximately $20 billion more of TSLA stock before the original deal could be accomplished.

What do you think will happen to TSLA share price if Musk did that?

It's a hard job to find $40+ billion dollars. You gotta sell assets, and when you sell those assets, they fall in price significantly.

Yeah pooled mining doesn’t work that way. All miners will receive payment for every “share” or under-difficulty solution as proof they were mining.
>Many ideas seem great on paper but fail in practice.

Yes, including the one posted by the author, sounds great on paper but in practice provides next to no benefit. Notice how the author has provided absolutely zero evidence to justify their claim.

>You just included and parsed bar.h twice.

No you didn't, because header files have header guards of the form #ifndef HEADER_GUARD/#define HEADER_GUARD or #pragma once which means that header files are only parsed the first time they are included.

>This makes me either a madman or a genius.

It makes you neither, you're just following something because someone with a big name who you respect said it, so you to do it without actually verifying for yourself whether it's true.

No it's obviously less efficient than a mechanical drive. The point is that it gives more flexibility in design and energy management, and may be more mechanically robust. So the benefits can be worth the loss of efficiency for certain applications.
Then you have to go through the whole process of setting up, routing, and registering an HTTP endpoint, rather than you would as a normal pub/sub simply have the program connect to the publisher and start receiving messages/events.

by that logic no one should use python, ruby or rust because they don't have an iso or ecma standard either
>If there's a disparate impact, what do you imagine causes that if not discrimination?

20+ years of environmental differences, especially culture? The disabilities themselves? Genes? Nothing about human nature suggests that all demographics are equally competent in all fields, regardless of whether you group people by race, gender, political preferences, geography, religion, etc. To believe otherwise is fundamentally unscientific, though it's socially unacceptable to acknowledge this truth.

>Remembering that we all have implicit bias

This doesn't tell you anything about the direction of this bias, but the zeitgeist is such that it is nearly always assumed to go in one direction, and that's deeply problematic. It's an overcorrection that looks an awful lot like institutional discrimination.

>Remembering that we all have implicit bias and it doesn't make you a mustache-twirling villain.

Except pushing back against unilateral accusations of bias if you belong to one, and only one, specific demographic, you effectively are treated like a mustache-twirling villain. No one is openly complaining about "too much diversity" and keeping their job at the moment. That's bias.

I have not enough karma to make the point above and not risking ending up underwater.

But the hell with it...I can always delete it.

I think people are taking crazy pills, they religiously follow this guy and his delusions about becoming a multiplanetary specie before the Sun becomes a red giant....5 billions years from now.

As they have such thoughts they have to walk through human feces and scenes from the Walking Dead...only with the homeless instead of zombies.

Stuff that would scare them to death if they saw it in a movie or compel them to pity if they happened in the background of a live news reportage from Ukraine.

Instead it's happening under their nose as they wonder if Mars is ambitious enough or we should aim directly for the Andromeda Galaxy.

>medical issues that have since been treated

And what if they haven't been? Disability isn't usually a temporary thing or even necessarily medical in nature (crucial to see disability as a distinct axis from illness!). Hiring with biases against career fluctuations is, I'm afraid to point out, inherently ableist. And it should not be beholden on the individual to map their experienced inequities and difficulties across to every single employer.

On the third hand: distribution.

Your last sentence resonates with me. I would add that he might consider different efforts he might make and determine that it wouldn't change the results. He might offend a different 2/3 of the audience and please a different 1/3 of the audience. So why exhaust yourself all the time when the outcome is arguably indistinguishable?

Somebody on the outside might see a big difference in result, say a 50% approval rating vs a 35% approval rating. But from the inside it can all look the same: "everybody hates me anyway" or "most people love me anyway".
Not standardizing #pragma once because of edge cases with with network and other esoteric filesystems when pretty much every C++ compiler implements #pragma once is really peak C++ committee bs.

I think the point of this guidance is that "hiring AI" is not actually intelligent and will not be able to read and understand a note about disability on a resume. It will just dumbly match date ranges to an ideal profile and throw out resumes that are too far off.
Pretty close, I'm guessing there are peer to peer lending platforms but typically you do it through a smart contract where assets are pooled together. So when you put your 10 BTC in the lending pool, you can only borrow up to ~80% of that value. If the price of BTC goes down, your BTC gets liquidated if it gets to within 5% of your borrow amount
Putin is also not a president for life in theory, there are "fair elections". As far as I know China elections are the same, same as we had in Romania during Communist party, the same dude always wins the elections, the ones that criticize him got deported or got killed, we had a comedian that made a joke about the president speech problems and he got poisoned so I understand how single party countries work, I am not from US so the black lives matters what about trolling does not work for me.

But for sure Russians should look at China and think something like "WTF we are not like China and we are a dump like North Korea, if Putin screws us at least if we got some better level of living".

Not sure if you are from China, I don't care about who is president there or to impose my country values on your culture, I was just explaining the big dangers of one party one man political system, there is corruption, misreporting, backstabbing, paranoia that eventually screws the population over. If the Chinese people decide freely to support the current political system(one party, no freedom of thinking and expression) then I respect their choice.

Also I don't know as much about China, Russia is here our neighbor so I know more about them, their politics, their mentality and their history so correct me if I got any factual thing wrong.
There already were regenerative electric bikes. The first-generation Specialized Turbo had regeneration linked to the brake levers, and nobody cared. Not worth the complexity.
