Elon Musk to Twitter employees: Do 'hardcore' work or get out
It seems presumptuous to know who is gaslighting who in this situation, making your simple question seem biased.
I think this is fitting in that context:

In the end, nearly everyone values their life higher than the life of others. The more distant that the "others" are the less we value them.
Sure, but _why_ is the question. I cannot understand how you think more good comes from making sure the local boys soccer club has a clean field to play vs. ensuring 4 families will sleep without the risk of contracting malaria. What makes you value the former more than the latter?

If you were the family facing malaria, and someone tried to donate the nets to you, would you sell them and donate the proceeds to their local soccer club?
For large projects Hydrogren will probably be attached to nitrogen to produce ammonium. Technology to handle ammonum has been availble for about 100 years now, and while it has its drawbacks (it is toxic), using ammomium solves a lot of issues.
Virtually nobody said any of them until he identified as non-Left. Weird coincidence, eh?
In trading, I realize I always made loses when my emotions get involved. So I decided to implement a trading-bot in Python for fun. It took 1.5 years of development. The bot can open ~100 positions each day and closing all with 1 cent gain (in total ~1$ profit per day). At least its nice to see something I made can make some money even its amount pretty small.
I would go so far as to say it's a sunk cost fallacy to run the old carbon emitting car even one more mile.

There is no savings to be had by waiting to convert to an EV, the total emissions are always going to be higher if you drive the polluting car rather than switching today.
At first I thought it's a parody, that makes a stab at airbnb by adding functions from Tinder - matching.

Then I realized I'm browsing Airbnb CEO's twitter. You never know with checkmarks on twitter these days.
I would but only for the right price. From what I understand he pays people less than industry standard and also asks them to work obscene hours? You have to be deep in the Elon Musk delusion to consider that when there are companies that pay a multiple of what his companies pay and ask for less of your time.

edit: oh, and if you have stock appreciation that Elon deems to be too much he fires you
agreed with your first post, much less so than this one, because it is based on analogy. recipes are really not like programming. when i try a new recipe, i normally read the description to see what i am going to get out of it, and if it appeals, give it a bash, without any accuracy.

for example, elizabeth david (never a one for accurate measurements) has a great recipe for beef with olives, which comes down to onions, garlick, bay leafs (other herbs to taste) olive oil, lemon peel, beef, black olives, red wine. then just cook them. any experienced cook will have no probs with this - the interesting thing is the combination of beef and olives. all the quantities are somewhat irrelevant and can be adjusted to taste.

whereas a computer program must be pin-point accurate in all details

analogies == bad. imho

sorry i went on a bit there

No?
There's a rather old service to clean such copy. It's a called a printer and while it will remove spacing and other invisible characters, the process of printing onto paper hardly ever works. Despite hardware for doing so have been on market for decades.
The government should not ban gas-powered vehicles and force people to buy the "least reliable vehicle type", as California and other states are doing.
Often people who work for startups work for dysfunctional organizations. Mature F500 Orgs also have lots of internal dysfunction. Most places are not "SGI"-type organizations. Also what we see in public is different from what people see on the inside.

Much of what see in public is the agitators being angry. Also, some regular staff will get caught up in the maelstrom, that's understood. But, if you are part of the org that emerges out of this difficult time, you may find it rewarding.

I think much of the difficulty is attributable to people having been used to the previous management style not being able to adapt to the new one and conservatively wanting to retain the familiar, their cozy fireplace in the winter. Elon, is like, arouse, we have work to do!
No, since I value my mental health better than to walk on eggshells all day with whatever I do being afraid for my job security and take a quick trip to burning out due to overworking myself.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I would generally assume that everybody has at least 1 printer at home. I'm also not aware of many printers that keep logs for long durations, but perhaps their shared network printers were logging to some kind of system log.
I rarely watch TV, adblock and pihole everything so I'm not exposed to many adverts. I honestly thought this was going to be satire and was waiting for the onion-esque creepy guy to announce his camera setup and onlyfans or something.

Guess it just hits differently in Australia.

> Does it end up creating new objects every time for e.g. a map is called like in this example to update all the attributes?

No. This is optimised away.

It's yet another reason why it's frustrating to see FP-like things bolted onto mainstream imperative stuff. You can't optimise away 'mostly functional' code. Wrapping a Set with an UnmodifiableSet isn't the same thing as (f x) + (f x) == 2 * (f x)
What is this, four organizations suspending withdrawals after FTX's demise? Five?

I think this context is important, thank you for providing it.

If i were to summarize succinctly I would say the lifetime of a book in a library is akin to the lifetime of a car at a rental car company. The natural wear and tear on it is far greater than one that is owned by a single, private owner, and so the expected lifetime becomes much shorter.
Because software runs on hardware...... Currently, some software runs INCREDIBLY FASTER and more efficient on M1/M2 Chips (ARM) vs running on X86-64.
Possibly, but not at the volume since he said he wanted to make Twitter apolitical.
If you take the side of every cringing junior engineer as gospel, Elon's technical explanations can only be believed to be deceit.
Personally, my issue with KDE is bugs. It seems I always have little things that are broken, freezing, crashing, or dying of neglect. My issue with most Linux distributions in general is a severe lack of polish. With macOS, I have experienced a handful of show stopping bugs since around '02. With Linux this is somewhat constant. I can usually iron them out within a day or two, but that is time and effort spent on something that isn't exactly "fun" to do.

As already mentioned in the comments, I will take any OS other than Windows 10/11, but my preferences are macOS and Intel's Clear Linux. If Clear would work on non-Intel hardware in a full featured way (that is, with support for AMD's virtualization) or on M1 at all, I would likely use both every day. As it is, I just use macOS. It more or less works.

Additionally, I love that people will hate on macOS for lacking features and therefore requiring helper programs but will at the same praise GNOME Shell which requires even more.
Author of the web site (leapsecond.com) here if you have any questions. I don't know how the title of the HN post was chosen. The actual title of the web page is "GPS, UTC, and TAI Clocks".

The page is a javascript animation of "GPS system time", UTC, and TAI showing how they all tick together but are offset from each other by an integer number of seconds. It's a fixed integer in the case of TAI and GPS and a variable integer in the case of UTC.
It depends how much running around you do and how much CO2 the energy mix where you live generates. For someone doing a few thousand miles per year it could easily be the case that a new car would never pay off the additional CO2 emissions during it's manufacturer.

Of course you can then make argument that they aren't doing enough mileage to justify having their own car in the first place.
Sent my kid to a Montessori in kindergarten. The thing I liked about it is that they put kids of different ages together. From what I've seen, kids learn fastest when they're put with kids slightly more proficient than themselves.
I'm eager to try out Enso.

> why visual languages have not thrived

In my experience, "visual" gets you ~90% to done. But inevitably, you have to drop to code. To handle the use cases and edge cases not anticipated by the framework. And then you're fighting the framework. Which is a 800lb angry gorilla sitting between you and your goal.

For flowchart & block style programming, the pitfall is the error handling.

For patch cord style programming, the pitfall is conditional behavior and any data flows which are not 1:1 input-to-output. (Non-1:1 use cases are a challenge for all ontology/taxonomy systems, more generally.)
Heh, my first job was a big TDD shop and while I learned many valuable skill - and even still write my tests first at times - I definitely encountered people who were religiously dogmatic about TDD and pairing.

Both of those are useful tools, but doing them 100% of the time is challenging. For me, as a brand new dev, the attitude of "you must always write a test before you write code" was stifling and made it harder to learn things at times.

To quote our noble caveman patron saint, "how grug test what grug not understand domain yet?!"

Indiana Jones hat scene
if the steganography signature is unique to the user receiving the content, then you might have to diff it with someone else's to see it (otherwise, you cannot really guess where the changes are which steganographically stores your identity).

If it is the same content for all users receiving the text, then you can just retype the text (not copy/paste) into a different file. Of course, authenticity comes to question if you whistleblow by doing this.
It’s sad because I want the legends to be true and I thought they were for a long time.

Now that he’s showing his true colors, it’s clear that they are not.
Yes, absolutely. I like his candor, and honestly I get fairly demoralized when I have to work alongside underperforming peers. Nobody likes to talk about the form of workplace toxicity that manifests in the form of lazy coworkers who ride off your successes, pigeonholing you into being the team workhorse.

If Elon is getting rid of those people, more power to him.
> The 60M+ user base for ENS-enabled browsers is a genuinely impressive number. But at the same time it's about 1.1% of the world's total internet users. In terms of reach, it's basically like making your product a desktop Linux app — it might be the right choice for some niche, but not for any mass market.

It took time to for ENS to build this userbase and it had to start with nothing. I don't know what the final result will be with this, but I think this is a good starting point.

> For the actual ENS lookup, I presume Brave and Metamask actually call a service like Infura? It feels like that's a step back for decentralization compared to plain old DNS.

Yes. It seems like many people who are creating in this space do not actually care about decentralization.

The internet has mostly existed in peace with the governments in most democratic countries. Though, at the same time, I think even with Tor, the average person in China probably struggles to get around the firewall.

It's possible to set the RPC node for MetaMask and Brave browser. There are also extensions on GitHub that resolve from a local node. Though, this solution is probably too unrealistic for the average user. I think in the past I've seen discussions about querying nodes directly, but, I'm doubtful there's going to be more solutions soon.
I wonder about this stuff and expect they could also just look for a file of that exact size in bytes on work PCs or cloud storage.

I think anyone who wants to write potentially career limiting things should exercise basic common sense like not using work computers and printers, removing fingerprinting elements, etc.

In the future I expect more to do stuff like cut and paste between programs to alter the font and spacing before sharing.

Or, of course, don’t leak proprietary information. There are whisleblower protection laws for illegal material that can be revealed. But leaking random company stuff, I think leads to less info being shared by the company to employees.
The market for Zigbee products is likely much larger so per-unit costs are lower.

Also, it seems LoRa is proprietary and patent-encumbered while Zigbee is an open spec.

Interesting, since EVs supposedly have lower maintenance costs overall https://afdc.energy.gov/vehicles/electric_maintenance.html

> All-electric vehicles typically require less maintenance than conventional vehicles because:

> The battery, motor, and associated electronics require little to no regular maintenance

> - There are fewer fluids, such as engine oil, that require regular maintenance

> - Brake wear is significantly reduced due to regenerative braking

> - There are far fewer moving parts relative to a conventional fuel engine.
There are a number of issues:

- First of all, there is no natural gas fuel standard

- Safety, there are no safety standards. If there were, tanks often used in other places, such an upgraded would be more expensive

- Rolling out refueling over the whole of the US/Europe would be difficult. Most places in Europe don't have these cars.

A better and safer alternative to natural gas would be methanol. And because of the US ethanol policy, the US already has a surprising amount of Flex Fuel Vehicles.

If you could have a bunch of fuel standards for ethanol/methanol and a vehicle standard for those fuels, depending on the price, people could buy different mixes.

Converting gas to methanol is fairly efficient and can be done directly at gas production sites, sometimes with gas that would be vented instead. But there isn't a big market for methanol right now.

In China such standards do exist M20 and so on. However sadly there methanol vehicles usually use methanol made by coal.

The US would have had much lower fuel cost if they had a strategy of methanol and ethanol at the same time, and require all vehicle to be FFV. Standardizing M20/E20, M50/E50 fuels for example.

However all of this is now no longer very useful as car market is rapidly switching to electric.

For some trucks using generated fuel might be useful. Dimethyl ether would be great for long range trucks and ships rather then hydrogen.
> At least from my experience with ~15 years of mac, ~15 years of on-and-off linux and windows, macOS has remained more consistent, because the primitives are much more universal.

I'm having a hard time understanding this, even with your examples. It might be possible that I simply haven't figured out the primitives, or an underlying logic to the OS?

In my experience, MacOS is the worst offender (excluding Windows) of inconsistencies. MacOS is filled with UI elements that, as far as I can tell, only appear once. (For example, the green 'status light' when activating SSH, compared to the slider buttons used everywhere else in the OS.)

My experience is roughly ~5 years MacOS (mostly as a child), ~10 years Windows, ~10 years Linux.

In all, it feels like Apple demands a "larger" language one needs to learn, compared to various Linux distros.
>But they are a distraction when it comes to personal vehicles, for which efficient batteries are already available.

This is starting to feel like Motte and Bailey fallacy to me
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motte-and-bailey_fallacy

Either that or just confusion about what and/or who we are talking about.

EA is not a well defined set of concepts or ideas. I do know a lot of people who identify as EA and have argued for "earn-to-give" where the giving part is deferred far into the future.

I won't spur the confusion further but my own personal experience is that there are several people I have personally met who more closely match the parents description than the description you give.

I'm all for earn-to-give if you are doing the giving soon and to causes where the outcomes are easier to measure, like what you mentioned. This is very commendable.

Where EA-style thinking runs into trouble is where it places excess confidence in future predictions

either A) I will eventually donate this money B) This cause I'm donating to has no obvious impact now, but it will have immense impact in the future or C) Even though I can't see all the negative impacts my work is having, my prediction/inference is that the negative impacts will be smaller than the positive impacts of my altruism.

So I have nothing against the idea of trying to maximize good, I just think that I frequently see it used in conjunction with excessively high-confidence predictions or inferences.

In your case, I think it's important that the banker do some sort of accounting of whether he is having a negative impact on their current project/firm etc. There are bankers who have had a huge negative impact in the past and so this does need to be part of the accounting.
I was put into montessori preschool at around age 4 after my mom caught daycare workers abusing me. I liked it, was a fun time and I figured out how to read at around a 4th grade level at 5. The issues started when I got taken out of that environment and put into a normal one when I started grade school. You see, my preschool teacher noticed that I had ADHD, but that didn't really matter in a Montessori environment. But in traditional school, this means you get in trouble a lot, get terrible grades, and I've been almost kicked out of every school I've been to. I found the transition to traditional structured school traumatic. This was in early grade school too, I can imagine the experience of going from Montessori school to traditional school in later grades to be impossible, like trying to socialize a feral cat or something.

Look OP, if you think school is about your kids learning you've got it very wrong. Wikipedia and arvix are for learning. School is state subsidized daycare, and social conditioning. Industrial society requires discipline, structure and obedience. Those values are not driven into a child's head in the Montessori, model. Do your kids a favor and get these things drilled into their heads early, before you have a bunch of intellectual bums laying around your house. Don't send your kids to Montessori school.
Wait why do you even need a filesystem for.
Apple fits a lot of people, just not me :)

I think for me the major issue is that I don't like any of the default options in the iphone and the 3rd party keyboards kept bugging out, even swiftkey and gboard would act really weird. Also the undocumented gestures drove me nuts.

And not being able to just have a normal browser with proper ad block and simple things like that.
> Peripherals work. Suspend/sleep/hibernate work

Counterpoint: no it doesn't. My work MBP cannot sleep (even if i click on Apple -> Sleep), and my Sony headset always connects to it even if it's in my backpack supposedly sleeping.

> Builtin apps are sensibly functional & comprehensive

Yes, with builtin features such as saving in a different, proprietary format. Open a .doc(x) in Pages, Save it and you get a .pages document instead of the original being updated.
Unfortunately even if this were 1000x better than Power Automate, my (large) company would never switch. We're just too invested in MS.

With Microsoft slowly providing utilities for everything, how do companies compete now?
It isn't just Tesla. It is across the board there are big issues but this is not new. The big auto companies have always had this issue with new tech. For example, when they switched to aluminum block engines they had all sorts of horrible issues. Gas to EV is an even bigger jump. I suspect EV build quality will be poor for sometime. I just hope the public keeps embracing EV while they get things sorted.
I have an extremely high moral standard for choosing employment. There is a long list of industries I won't work in, projects I won't work on, and people I won't work with. The bar is very very high, and Elon is pretty close to the floor. Even if there were a period of economic distress that forced me to lower my bar, I think I'd just risk it all, live in a van, and go it alone before working with someone like that.
No I didn't miss the point. I disagree with it.

Looking at other countries that don't have capitalism, everyone is worse off. I don't think capitalism is the reason charity is necessary. I think the world starts default-bad for humans, by default we don't have anywhere close to the living we want, and over the years, many technological advanacements, including capitalism, have slowly made most humans far better off.

This is fairly clear in the historical record or in comparing different countries.

(At least to me. Most people seem to disagree with this, but I honestly think they're wrong.)
I’m not interested in working for anyone who thinks it’s a great idea to send out a mandatory web link where you either sign a statement saying “I pledge to work hardcore and tirelessly for the singular product vision of our mighty leader” or you’re immediately fired.

This happened last night:

At this point he’s just actively looking to surround himself with fawning fans and yes men exclusively.
I would definitely love the challenge!
I think you found it. Now I recall that episode exactly.

Apparently, my mind created some very visual memories from the narrative.

Thanks!
yeah, not yet. yjs and automerge have rust ports so _maybe_ (big maybe) sequence crdts can be added by creating a virtual table interface to those projects. TBD.
I would doing some sort of very-low profile work to not get his attention ever, or anyone's attention whatsoever.

Kind of like Milton from Office Space (but not a complete deadbeat) doing something barely useful like "I make sure all printers have paper and help organize the yearly company getaway".

Oh boy, imagine actually retiring from a job like this, :).
One thing that can be said about Twitter, is it is really revealing of how people are, rather than how their PR teams try to view people.

Maybe he’s playing 4D chess, but I don’t know if there’s a lot of superhuman chess behind signing a binding agreement waiving due diligence at a meme price. The man is a walking unforced error.

Given the downturn of access to free money I wonder what happens next for him (and other “innovators” in general , see SoftBank funds)
I came here to pose that same thing.

Hydrogen in the creation of fertilizer? An absolute necessity, we need a good source of green hydrogen to run the Haber-Bosch process.

Hydrogen production for grid power storage? Absolutely terrible idea, don't even think about it.

Hydrogen for long-haul trucking? Maybe, maybe not.
The colors are wrong ;)
People don't internalize Git concepts as "natural", they get Stockholm Syndrome.

I'm not saying mercurial is better, but there's a reason I have to remind people that this[1] is satire - the real manuals are so convoluted that they seem like parodies of themselves.
