John Carmack's take: "Elon is definitely an engineer. He is deeply involved with technical decisions at spacex and Tesla. He doesn’t write code or do CAD today, but he is perfectly capable of doing so."

Kevin Watson's take, who developed the avionics for Falcon 9 and Dragon and previously managed the Advanced Computer Systems and Technologies Group within the Autonomous Systems Division at NASA's Jet Propulsion laboratory:

"Elon is brilliant. He’s involved in just about everything. He understands everything. If he asks you a question, you learn very quickly not to go give him a gut reaction.

He wants answers that get down to the fundamental laws of physics. One thing he understands really well is the physics of the rockets. He understands that like nobody else. The stuff I have seen him do in his head is crazy.

He can get in discussions about flying a satellite and whether we can make the right orbit and deliver Dragon at the same time and solve all these equations in real time. It’s amazing to watch the amount of knowledge he has accumulated over the years."

Garrett Reisman, engineer and former NASA astronaut:

"What's really remarkable to me is the breadth of his knowledge. I mean I've met a lot of super super smart people but they're usually super super smart on one thing and he's able to have conversations with our top engineers about the software, and the most arcane aspects of that and then he'll turn to our manufacturing engineers and have discussions about some really esoteric welding process for some crazy alloy and he'll just go back and forth and his ability to do that across the different technologies that go into rockets cars and everything else he does."
I just used Jonesforth as a guide/model to write a Forth for the Project Oberon RISC chip last week. It's not finished yet but it works:

https://git.sr.ht/~sforman/PythonOberon/tree/master/item/for...

https://git.sr.ht/~sforman/PythonOberon/tree/master/item/for...

The idea is to make something like (or a port of) CollapseOS, but with a 32-bit machine. The Oberon RISC chip is big enough to be more useful than 8-bit systems yet simple enough that you could build one out of discreet components if you had to. It's really really simple.

The thing with Elon is that he has no respect for rules. This is what makes his companies successful. His company will zag when everybody zigs, because he will say “zigging is stupid, and only an idiot would do it that way”, after which he will be mocked by all the zigging rule-followers, and ultimately either be proven right, or dead-wrong.

This lack of respect of rules brought him to the top, and somewhere along the way he seems to have forgotten how to turn it off. So now he does whatever he wants whenever he wants and who cares about the consequences because why should he follow someone else’s rules? This greatly offends many people, while simultaneously attracting a fan club who love his rogue character.

Don't care about the reasons, but finally one of these platforms are getting called on their BS.

MAU has a large impact on valuation, all of these platforms are filled with spam bots, and they are allowed to flourish because it pumps up those numbers. The platforms content suffers (Instagram comments anyone?), but they reach higher valuations because of these nonsense MAU numbers. They are all guilty of fraud. It's well within their ability to combat bots, but they have zero motivation to do so.

Eager to see what comes out of this.
I found this interesting - https://hackaday.io/project/170875/logs I hadn't realised that they initially prototyped with the pi zero.

It looks like the CC1101 supports quite a few modulation schemes, kind of curious though if you could build an SDR with a similar form factor to target things like lora too
So cool! What a fantastically well presented piece. The simple step-by-step explanations of how to interact with and control the various function inputs left me feeling like I actually knew how to do something with it, which is a far cry from most interactive software playgrounds.

Well done.

I do work in the filed yes, worked in automotive, semiconductor and IoT.

In what way is it "not like that"?

Brilliant move Elon. The period between contract and closing in this kind of deal allows for due diligence, where the buyer can verify the representations made to it by seller regarding the underlying valuation. This is a key metric in valuing this business. If this metric is widely off the mark that will impact final price, if the Board knew, or had reason to know, it was wildly off the mark all along, the SEC will have a lot more to do than harass Elon about filing dates for paperwork, and the Board better hope their D & O insurance cover is really really high because the civil suits from investors will be endless and Elon will get Twitter for a song. If the metric is true, the deal proceeds as agreed. Either way, Elon wins. Well played. Hope his lawyers get a little bonus in this month's bill!
It's interesting to look into what kind of person Peter The Great (Putin's hero) was.

He built the Summer Palace in St. Petersburg in emulation of the European palaces he visited on his tour of Europe. But unlike European palaces, in the Summer Palace he installed a torture chamber, in which he personally tortured then murdered his own wife. He seems to have enjoyed torture and murder.

This is the model that Putin so admires.

I don't know that it's yet possible to ascribe any war-crimes to Putin personally. The crimes that I've heard tell of are of the kind that might be carried out by low-morale troops in any army.

Of course, the Russian army in Ukraine necesssarily have low morale; they've been ordered to attack and kill people that their own leader has said are their "brothers".

Low morale in the Russian armed forces is a persistent problem; in WWII Russian assaults, Russian machine guns were positioned in the rear, to kill any Russians that thought to fall back. It's not surprising that in the fall of Berlin, there was widespread looting and rape by Russian soldiers.

All soldiers behave like this, to a greater or lesser extent. But this Russian army has been engaged in city-flattening, rape and murder to a shocking extent.

Personally, I'm not inclined to forgive. But that's not my call; I'm not Ukrainian.
1) Buyers can be arranged during construction

2) A builder can hypothetically continue "building"/renovating the units indefinitely until they have a buyer. Alternatively, nothing about this hypothetical scenario requires the original constructor to even pay the $1M in the first place - it could be deferred, or be another rate entirely.

Side note) Landlords/owners aren't suppliers, they are speculators.
There's surprising amount complexity involved in that kind of setup. Depending on the GPUs you might even see a performance loss if you open program in wrong monitor, or move it to other monitor while it's running (especially anything hw accelerated).

IMO Medellín, Colombia (known as "the city of eternal spring") is about perfect from a weather perspective. It averages around 23c year round (varying between about 18 and 28). It does have a rainy season, but even then mornings are often sunny (afternoon not so much).
It miraculously fixed itself (or became unnoticeable) after I started working at home during COVID, quit my corporate job, and created a startup.

For example before then I noticed I only had fatigue when working and not when playing video games or enjoying my idle time.
>determined by the economic opportunity of the land.

That makes sense for agricultural land that is being worked as well as it can be, where there are already roads for tractors and no improvement could help it become more productive, but in a city the same square feet of land can support anywhere between one and a thousand residences depending on what is invested in to it.

If rent was really inelastic, anywhere that it was profitable to build housing would be a free infinite money opportunity, because no matter how high you stacked the apartments they'd all rent for more than it cost to build them. You'd be able to build a skyscraper with 100 floors of penthouses in the middle of a rich suburban neighborhood, if increased supply really did nothing to reduce rents.

Since most issues come from handling external monitors the best choice for a dev might be the iMac.
This is a true techy topic :) But the author proably mostly has expierence with bad environments (like apartment buildings with lots of competing WiFis) and/or cheap wireless devices or those which have to do severe compromises (e.g. style or size or battery runtime over RF performance).

These were the issues I had:

1. SO's cheap wireless mouse produced WiFi interference -> massive packet loss

2. Small 2.4Ghz USB dongles plugged into USB 3.0 port (e.g. Logitech's wireless dongle or USB WiFi for RPi) -> USB 3.0 interference render the dongle unusable

3. The HTC 10 has a metal casing -> incredibly poor BT RF performance, causing massive drop outs (especially bad with my FiiO Q5 DAC/headphone amp, which has a massive aluminum case)

4. Client stays on AP with very poor signal (barely in range) instead of jumping to different AP -> retransmissions cause massive degredation for all other clients

5. Lots of APs running at full power in an apartment complex, paired with a router/AP that had low WiFi performance anyway -> bad everything

All but the last can be solved relatively easy (okay, I didn't swap the HTC10 due to BT, though that really annoyed me; it's time eventually came when the battery lasted half a workday without using the phone for anything). Especially coordinated WiFi APs (like Unifi) are great. And even the last point was a non-issue both in our last apt (one well placed UAP for testing) and our new old house (four UAPs).

I’m a fan of Tesla, SpaceX, etc. but I think Elon has been acting a little off lately. It feels like he started acting like any other rich guy who is more concerned about his own money than anything else.

If Trump is reelected this year, Republicans can thank Elon. He’s campaigning against democrats, wants Trump to be back on Twitter, said banning Trump was morally wrong (I guess letting the incitements of violence, lies about election fraud while committing the fraud himself, was morally acceptable to Elon).

> Regarding efficiency

Air resistance is the main factor only if you’re not actively stopping/restarting/braking as needed. In urban or semi-urban courses adjusting speed and stopping at red lights is par for the course.

Also efficiency is really about effort. 95% is low for a bike, but even taking a 10% difference compared to the chainless one: for the effort you’d put to ride 10km with a chain, you’ll only be around 9km chainless.

As you say it might not matter if you’re only going for groceries at 1 or 2km of your home. That’s a different story if you use it to commute or plan on longer trips (now it could be seen as a handicap to get more exercise depending on the target customer)
If the ultimate standard is disparate impact, that's where it goes.

I don’t think this is true. It’s been around 20° at most in the Toronto area this past week.

And all it took was the Federal Reserve raising the federal funds rate by less than 100 bps after a decade and a half of rock bottom rates.

I have nothing more to add. I'm going to go outside and breathe some fresh air.
A lot of these companies have very reasonable P/E ratios now. Microsoft is sitting at around 27, Apple 25, and Facebook 15.

None of those strike me as "inflated". Those are normal values for the stock market (20-25). Are investors just panicking?
Matrix is the most mature and feature complete. I personally use it day to day through Element. However, if it comes down to talking about something that could get me into massive trouble, I won't trust any single entity. I'd probably use XMPP, or Onionshare in Tails OS, preferably not even on my own PC. The bottom line is that a computer connected to the internet is not totally secure and anonymous, there can be backdoors in every nook and cranny. For example if you are using Element + Matrix on Windows 11/Android, to spy on you, they don't need to have backdoors in Matrix itself. A simple automatic screenshot will do! The OS will take care of that :D

But I don't think the Matrix organization can be pressured into adding backdoors into their systems.

Our best bet is to use free and open source software as much as possible.

That's what I thought, too, until I saw ARM's Hot Chips 2016 slides. Page 24 shows that they write transformed positions to RAM, and later write varyings to RAM. That's for Bifrost, but it's implied Midgard is the same, except it doesn't filter out vertices from culled primitives.

That makes me wonder whether the other GPUs with position-only shading - Intel and Adreno - do the same.

As for PowerVR, I've never seen them described as position-only shaders - I think they've always done full vertex processing upfront.

> That's actually pretty common among those "gifted with mild ASD/ADHD" types, they can't be assed to talk about anything that doesn't pique their interest.

Despite people in tech conflating ASD/ADHD and using them as some kind of weird bragging right (and excuse for not considering others), I don't know that there is any public information about his having either condition.

> He seems to open up more when talking to people he considers "on his level" or at least deeply interested in what he is interested in.

That's just called childish behavior, and despite it's name it is common in a lot of adults, not just Musk.

But most adults who act that way can't get away with it. When it is paired with wealth and a megaphone as it is with Musk and others like him, not only can they get away with it, but it can be amplified by a mass following of people who wish they could get away with it, and live vicariously through them. That is basically how cults work.

- Have transaction fees as high as $60 - $250+ if you factor in block reward.

This goes so far outside the original vision, that makes me wonder if current believers in crypto even read the paper. Satoshi's vision was that existing ways to transfer money on the internet had too high overheads, which made micropayments impossible.
I don't know if you mean something deeper, but core.async has <!, >!, and alts! variants that don't require a go block: <!!, >!!, and alts!!.

You can just use them like a function. But they block the thread. So if you e.g. naively call it in the REPL you will block it indefinitely. E.g.:

(>!! (chan) "this will block the REPL")

The idea would be to pass a channel to multiple virtual threads which use the blocking versions.
I spent a few years running my own non-computer-related business. It wasn't even on the Web. I shut it down when it became unprofitable.

For some reason, both recruiters and potential employers were laser-focused on that "work gap" and attributed it to time in prison despite the offer to show them copies of my tax returns.

Across every investment class there has been a trend of buyers needing to become more financially irresponsible in order to participate in the market.

Need to buy a house? bid 20% more than asking, if you don't - someone else will.. in cash.

Need to build a ride-hailing app? prepare to pay people to ride indefinitely.

Need to own a growth stock? prepare to pay upwards of 100x multiple on revenue.

All around, there have been too many dollars chasing too few assets. I suspect the pendulum is swinging now that housing got to the price point where employees demanded equivalent pay increases to housing cost increases.

Musk really brings out some of the worst in this community. I suppose many have subconscious jealousy, because there's the delusions of grandeur types that "just know inside" that eventually they will be huge founder/CEO's of something, and yet no matter what it is, it will never live up to what Elon has done having success after success of the biggest kinds, fucking starting electric vehicles tackling climate change (!!) and the world's premier rocket (!!) company.

Not only that, but he really has the adulation of normies. I mean, this is supposed to be a community of builders, "definite optimism", that we can work hard and will good things into the universe. And yet, I have the most "degenerate" type people on Instagram posting clips of Elon speaking how we need to not get caught up on the doom mongering, it's not going to help us move humanity forward and actually do the things we need to do. Yet here, it's mostly negativity, "we're doomed and everything is shit".

I also frequent a forum about sport X. It's a young man's game and most spend tons of hours practicing it. So who frequents this forum? Generally, all the people who have aged out of it, unable to play all the time like they used to, and they are just shitting all over anything any professional does. I mean they are vicious on the slightest technical things, and yet they're all much worse, sitting on a forum criticizing it, instead of doing it. This thread reminded me of that so much.
In theory a chain can be up to 99% efficient. In practice, a clean modern chain can easily hit 95%. Chains are by far the most efficient drivetrain.

Looks pretty good! Thanks
Been there. If you're riding a 1x drivetrain, a narrow-wide chainring will greatly reduce chain drops. A conventional chainring is designed for the chain to be thrown off easily, and the front derailer keeps it there. On a 1x system, the ring can be designed differently.
Italians are quite elitist in their food. It seems like every Italian's live purpose is proving to everyone how good they are at cooking.

Spain/Portuguese food isn't snobbish or fancy, but it's generally good. As a matter of fact I find that the baseline for what is bad in these places is actually quite high.

That is not the case for your average Italian restaurant around the world. Most of them are not that great.
Even if you hate NFTs, their purpose is not to be a pleasure in your ass. If over time they become easier to use, that is just a bonus.
Agree. Monitoring is a great example. Every DBMS server needs monitoring and it should be exportable to Prometheus. But the commonality ends pretty much ends there, at least in my experience. That's just single instances, too, not complex clusters.
Third category: Owner. Inventors invent things. Executors help them do so. Owners, the Edisons of the world, are the people with the property interest in the invention. They are the ones who get to deploy and use inventions within their business.
Same thing happened to me. There's a company in Dallas that had a website that basically presented users who were searching for a product type with a list of products along with their ratings.

So they pivoted, and now they've aimed their engine at CBD reviews or something. I still don't see the point.
