To be fair, what kicked out this whole saga was a real life match between him and Magnus Carlson. There are plenty of theories out there about how he could've cheated, some more absurd than others.

Also, there has been history of people cheating in IRL games by taking many bathroom breaks and looking up solutions while on break.
Most people can also deploy it locally for free just as fast. If you've already got Docker installed, it probably won't even take 4 minutes.
As I understand it, MBS and Co. prefer to drown out the criticism rather than censor it, so they already have that API, and a crusade against bots would put it at risk. Granted, it's possible that Elon isn't committed to shutting down bots so much as shutting down non-friendly bots.
So who is the target audience for this type of work? I mean if I want to learn more about something such as combinatorial algorithms, this doesn't seem like it'd be the right place to begin. I want to learn more about the things that I don't know, but at the same time, learning absolutely everything about a single category is typically more depth than I require.

Yeah - there's an interior, driving-facing camera(at least in the model Y), which I suspect has no real purpose other than to send video after a crash to Tesla, so they can say "look, the driver wasn't staring at the road, not our fault autopilot crashed them".

I would cover it up, but I'm afraid that it will look incriminating if I ever am in an accident as to why I did it.
It depends on what you think is important, but there is a lot more happening today in addressing our problems than back in 2013 or 2003, imo.

I think many can agree that climate change is one of the higher priority efforts, and in the last few years, we've seen some major progress.

In the US, renewables make up the vast majority of new generating capacity, by far and solar deployments are growing at a rapid pace. We were still deploying significant amounts of coal plants 10 years ago, nowadays, it's basically zero. [https://www.seia.org/solar-industry-research-data]. China has doubled its solar deployments in the last year.

Wind deployments are accelerating [https://www.iea.org/reports/wind-electricity]

EVs are gaining marketshare at a fast pace, many countries/states are banning ICE sales in the near future. [https://www.virta.global/en/global-electric-vehicle-market]

Cost of lithium batteries has fallen by 89% since 2010 [https://cleanpower.org/facts/clean-energy-storage/]

US passed the IRA which has the potential to really accelerate these changes.

Still not enough of course, but we are seeing significant progress compared to 2013.

Tesla reached a mere 1.5% share of new cars in August 2022 in Germany. They are far away from "outselling" all the others.
There is no such thing as a polluting industry- or rather, any industry at all could be a polluting one. Pollution is a waste byproduct of what is being produced. The act of polluting is disposing of said byproducts in an unmanaged way (out smokestacks, into rivers, etc).
I remember reading "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" and remembered the section where he was evaluating math textbooks.

He was annoyed that kids would have to learn number bases that were not 10:

"Translating from one base to another is an utterly useless thing."

But honestly that is something from math class that I use EVERY day (ok, ok, maybe not weekends)
Well, the market cap of Tesla is currently over $700B, so spending 6% of your market cap on marketing isn't that crazy.

"Khrushchev’s mistake" is a uniquely russian narrative.

No western historian would ever use this, you can only get this from russian propaganda sources like "Moskovskiy Komsomolets" or from someone who's influenced by it.

I wonder where did Musk get this from. And what other memes of russian's version of history he got.

You repeatedly mention engines, but I'd point out there are no engines on this craft. This craft has electric motors.

I don't know if electric motors are more reliable than ICE, but I speculate that they are.

Edit, my opinion below:

VTOL is a HUGE WIN. It's the holy grail of flight. Fixed wing aircraft are inconvenient because they need a mile of flat blacktop for takeoff and landing.

Affordable eVTOL craft could change general aviation forever. The problem with helicopters is insane maintenance overhead and low fuel efficiency. The problem with fixed wing is you can't land it in your back yard. EVTOL is interesting in that it could bridge the gap between these two to provide a personal aircraft that has the best of both. Napkin math shows it's possible, and we're seeing some really cool products now.
> Anyway, there were studies out there that there were no statistical differences in his rating gains in tournaments broadcasted with delays and without it.

It is exactly the opposite of what you claim: there is a massive statistical aberration in his performance of broadcast tournaments vs. non-broadcast. He is 200 Elo higher in the former.

You're clearly very invested in this case. How can you possibly be getting the polarity of the evidence wrong?
The amount of information in a 64x64x4 array would depend on the precision of the numbers in it, right? For example, a 512x512 image in 24-bit colour could be completely encoded in a 64x64x4 array if each of the 64 x 64 x 4 = 16,384 values had 384 bits of precision.

So, I wonder — what's the minimum number of bits of precision in the 64x64x4 array that would be sufficient for this to work?

Have you actually studied calculus based probability/stayistics though? Your comment seems characteristic of my own former thinking from when I had only taken an algebra based intro stats course (AP statistics) and hadn't yet learn it the calculus based way a few years later.

There is a lot of cool stuff you miss out on in the basic stats course because of having to dumb it down to avoid the calculus. Some I remember off hand:

- proof of the central limit theorem, which gives the shocking result that if you sum several uniform distributions you get rapidly more precise approximations of the normal distribution, which looks similar to exp(-x^2) if I recall. This central result is the foundation of all statistical sampling. This is why in real life if you see something follow a normal distribution you can guess it is probably caused by a moderate to large number of somewhat independent factors, and vice versa. This is genuinely useful, but if you don't know it you won't miss it
- poisson distribution which relates the mean time between events to the probability of failures. Obviously very applicable to a lot of real life tbings

The problem with this is that people don't really retain information like that. College is 15 years in the past for me and I'd bet that if you handed me every exam I took in college I'd flunk everyone of them. And probably quite badly too. I'd wager most people are the same. So how can it be so important if we all remember so little.

Is there a single sport in the world where a player will get a lifetime ban for admitting to cheating in the past? All major ones will let you compete even after being caught doping/fixing a half dozen times in your career. The bar is a lot lower than you think.
The rate at which we forgive and forget prior actions should decrease as someone ages in a monotonic way. Reason being an individual’s capacity and willingness to learn and change their values and behavior decreases with time. Sure, the 18yo cliff makes no sense.
12 is only "fine" if you were caught and demonstrated you learned to stop.

12 is horrible if you have a track record of blatant cheating and only getting worse for years till they permanently banned you.
I think everyone is getting emails from recruiters, and this will keep happening until the recruiters themselves are laid off. Good people are hard to find in any market, and if there's even a chance that you're a good person from your resume or current employer, you will keep getting these emails.
are these actually lies?
i know tesla stopped accepting bitcoin but it doesn't seem surprising to operate nodes when they did accept it. companies change policies all the time so i wouldn't call this a lie unless they never did it all. is that public information?

"almost all" possessions is pretty vague. perhaps this is false but it's not obvious at face value and wouldn't be malicious. it seems mostly a question of semantics (does renting = owning? do we mean houses and cars or clothes and silverware?). if someone tweets "i'm selling all my shit" are they lying?

break pads never needing to be replaced is obviously not 100% true since some percentage of every part will inevitably break, but if pads without defects outlive the rest of the car, i don't see how you could disagree with this statement. teslas are barely old enough to evaluate this statement and doubly so for cars produced in 2018.

i don't follow this stuff nearly closely enough to know if these are lies and it's not clear to me the information needed to evaluate those tweets is publicly available or even exists. i don't dispute he's made misleading statements and exaggerated but i'm not convinced it's obvious he's lying or that not seeing it means you have blinders on.

I don’t use twitter and as such don’t really care if it implodes, but from what I’ve heard twitter has been a cesspool of negativity for a while now and on a slow but steady downtrend in general.

I’m sure Musk will try anything to recoup his investment, so it’ll either go out with a bang, or he somehow manages to pull a rabbit out of his hat and actually turn twitter around. Though I don’t think that’s very likely.

Either way it’ll be a fun pastime to follow the unfolding of it.

Probably that China subsidizes the West’s efforts to green their economies while simultaneously handling our negative externalities, AND continuing to lift their population out of poverty.

The parent claim is that the developing world isn’t pulling their weight, which is an incredibly ignorant and frankly stupid take, considering any historical context.

He already hired the best lawyers available.

What do you mean by his behavior changing if his net worth were more liquid? Are you suggesting he couldn't afford expensive lawyers because he couldn't get enough cash?

He has had no issue paying lawyers. The fundamental problem is that the case is dumb and without merit and he was always going to lose it. Expensive lawyers can't fix that, at least not against a counterparty who also has expensive lawyers.
Minor correction:

> If you divide V by something like 0.0001 each frame, you will implement gravity.

You will implement air resistance. Air resistance is proportional to the velocity, gravity is a constant offset.

V(n+1) = V(n) - drag * V(n) - gravity

A tensor can take any number of dimensions (not just 3).
Sorry, but that's not any excuses for you not to start learning! Looks like your problem is procrastination which we all struggle with. Old age is also not as bad we're lead to believe for learning. It's all about getting into the habit of studying. That can come after an idea that turns into a goal and is kept in motion by brute force will. Alternatively the peer pressure from school or a course can keep you going and meeting goals effortlessly.

Strongly disagree. To extend the original metaphor, calculus is an exercise, not a whole workout. Sure, if you only do squats, you may not end up looking as good in a tank top as the guy who does arms all day. On the other hand, you're never going to reach peak physical performance if you skip leg day.

Good luck trying to understand any modern ML paper without a solid understanding of calculus, for example.
Oh, I think any changes he makes will definitely be in the news cycle, forever.
I once had the pleasure of listening to Knuth speak at my university's computer science department. I joined the very large queue of other people, and expected the great man to totally revolutionise my understanding of – well, I didn't know what, but something. Computer programming to TeX, I don't mind. I was expecting enlightening solutions to famously difficult problems, a great study of algorithms, that kind of thing.

Well, what happened was that he spoke for nearly two hours on self-referential aptitude tests. The kind of "20 questions" game where the 20th question is "The maximum score obtainable on this test is (a) 18 (b) 19 (c) 20 (d) indeterminate (e) achievable only by getting this question wrong" and all of the others are inherently recursively linked. I had no idea these things existed, even less of an idea why anyone would want to study them, and came away later with both mind dripping down the side of my skull and a greater appreciation of SAT solvers and compiler design in functional programming languages. Highly recommended.

(And if anyone wants to do the quiz, it's here: [1] https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/paradox.pdf)
Well this is a weird non sequitur.

Growth mindset has literally nothing to do with "top notch performance", or a guaranteed way to achieve success in any and every field of practice.

It's simply a framing exercise for how you handle failure and how you approach new topics and challenges.

And I will cheerfully disagree, many top notch musicians can't sing, and many great singers are no musicians. You could have been great - you could still be great!

But effort and persistence is a much wider gulf than talent.
Selling your labor to multiple buyers and delivering acceptable work is not cheating.
I'm not arguing that c++ is memory safe, it isn't. But the initial claim is that std::optional is "explicitely anti-memory-safety". And that seems like a very unsupported claim. std::optional isn't safer than the rest of C++, but it's definitely not less safe either.
You linked to black 2.0. It may very well be the blackest black, but it is decidedly not Vantablack.

This is the thing people dont realize, as someone who has owned a luxury car before, the Tesla Model 3 is not what i would call a "luxury car" despite them playing in the same price space as the BMW 3 Series.

It's still one of the best cars i've ever owned but the fit, finish and feel are not luxury. My 2013 Ford Focus felt more solid than the model 3 i own.
We use Socket and my favorite feature is when you highlight new dependencies with a post-install hook. It’s not always a problem, but almost always a smell.

One feature request: please allow me to “suppress” warnings for a specific package+version combo. This is useful for activist libs that take a political stance - I know it happens, but often cannot remove them, and don’t want to continue flagging the same problem at every sec review.
I'm not sure if all your comments are fair. For example, fly by wire is extremely reliable, and the large number of engines provides huge redundancy and arguably much more safety in certain constrained environments.

If a plane engine fails, you can glide, but you need a nearby road or field. If a helicopter engine fails, you can auto-rotate but have very little margin for error and need forward momentum. There are also more single point failure parts in both helicopters and fixed wing planes.

If you get a partial failure on a Lilium you probably have much more flexibility to do an emergency landing as you have the other engines for control and redundancy.

I'm sure it will take a while to work the kinks out, and sure there are tradeoffs, but I'm not sure this is a jack of all trades master of none situation. I could see the jet carving out its own niche.

And yes, it could be a huge flop, just sharing a counterpoint.

One use of class + 1 of what is needed is that it demonstrates mastery of the previous material when it integrates such. For example, calculus shows mastery and a decent understanding of algebra and trigonometry among other topics of the level taught previously.
I don’t know, the concept just makes sense to me intuitively. There are enough weird effects in systems and math when things are at zero that I just can’t tell what would happen. Example, in queueing theory when input rate is equal to output rate under reasonable randomness you get large backlogs. When everything drains at just a few percent over zero it just seems like a better system.

The US also had a civil war during that period. And then repeated brutal boom and bust cycles until Breton Woods.

It’s wild to see the comments on this headline’s twitter post and elsewhere, the commenters are essentially disagreeing with the premise. It’s almost as though low interest rates for so long made people forget that housing doesn’t always go up. Truth is home prices can go down and sideways for many years in high interest rate environments. But perhaps some people don’t yet realize the new normal that’s coming down the pike.
> If $80m turns out to be $10m, is that a lie or an exaggeration?

Yes, that would be considered a lie, or at least a gross exaggeration.

But we can do the math using publically available information - assuming its correct. According to this article ( https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/04/08/us-quietl... ) (which honestly feels like a click bait hit piece), as of Apr 8, there were 5000 terminals in the country. It says SpaceX paid for 3670 of those (so about 2/3), plus internet service for all.

As of May, there were 10k terminals (https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/02/ukraine-official-150000-usin...). Who knows how many there are now - 4 months later. So at $1500 a pop of what it costs to manufacture, plus probably same, if not more, to fly it to Poland, then transport it via land to Ukraine - the numbers add up. Add to that work being done to overcome Russian attempts at jamming (https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-spacex-russia-ramp...). Add things that we are not aware of. I can see how costs can pile up.

Yes, the constitution can be updated via ammendment. My point was that, at present, one is constitutionally protected and the other is not.

Also the current limits on arms are all unconstitutional. There's no question about it. But there is a whole host of things that are unconstitutional that don't seem to matter anyway, like social security and minimum wage.

I can only think you are looking at some incredibly narrow definition of 'tech' (like "I will only consider SV, VC funded, early stage startup founded by Stanford grads" or "FAANG or nothing!"). I can't think of anyone in my extended peer group (experienced engineers in our 40s & 50s) who doesn't have at least a handful of tech companies banging on the door to avail themselves of that experience. I get a call or 3 a week.

I've certainly run into ageism, particularly past 45, particularly from certain types of companies, but in my experience 'afraid I won't stay' & 'afraid I'll take their job' & other silly excuses in those 'online threads' are usually from people looking for any reason they didn't get the job that doesn't include 'I wasn't the right person for the job'.

To be sure, I expect the general economic slowdown might dent interest, but successful companies run by adults need what we offer.
Is the term "quiet layoff" somehow intended to be the equivalent to "quiet quitting"? I don't think the usage of "quiet" makes any sense in this case.

Employees are openly grouped into performance categories, with "needs support" (as per the article) as the entry on the bottom of the list. That in combination with Zuckerberg talking about approaching the currently persisting downtrend conservatively should immediately alert any employee. An impeding layoff doesn't really get much more obvious than this.
