So when a worker missed a Tesla function for the birth of their child, Musk was about as understanding as you would expect. According to a new book, he said, “That is no excuse. I am extremely disappointed. You need to figure out where your priorities are. We’re changing the world and changing history, and you either commit or you don’t.”

When employees complained about working too hard, Musk reportedly replied “they will get to see their families a lot when we go bankrupt.”

Clearly a mistake. They should be dogfooding their offerings. A lot of tooling will probably just be better if they can host it on AWS.

Private schools tend to do it if the behavior severely affect other kids. E.g. repeated violent behavior.
Facetime (and/or Duo) will work exactly the same. Both are free.
Elon's error here is that while Tesla and SpaceX are 'hardcore' type companies that are changing the world and therefore attract hardcore candidates Twitter is not a hardcore company. It's more like a government department. The temperament of suitable prospective employees will therefore also be different. Twitter is not changing the world with cutting edge technology.

Elon has a very expensive lesson in his future.

> the vast majority of software developers do not consider a strict conformance to the 10 OSI criteria as being necessary to apply the term "open source"

[citation needed]

My counter claim, without citation, is that I actually believe (from experience) that the vast majority of 'open source' projects are in fact released under licenses that already comply with the 10 OSI criteria, and are therefore 'approved' OSI licenses. This is easily witnessed by looking at the licenses of the majority of open source projects — or perhaps even just the most popular ones.

That would seem to go against your claim regarding 'most developers'.

But it's not actually a debate about 'most developers', it's about the OSS projects out there, not individual devs, no?
Judging from the statement (I haven’t the cryptographic kung fu to distil the paper myself), the attack seems to be more of an exploration of how vulnerable the (relatively new) ways the Gimli suite builds everything out of a single crypto core can be when used badly, not something applicable to the usage that’s actually specified. Or is that still concerning? (Plus it does seem worse than brute force from the numbers given, though I can’t judge whether that makes it uninteresting in general, either.)
I like the idea of Warp, but I just can't get past the whole "login required to use a terminal" thing. If you force a login to use your closed-source app, beta or not, I'm sorry, but I can't take any commitment to privacy you make seriously whatsoever. No matter how well-intentioned you may be. That well's been poisoned beyond redemption by far worse people than you and there's just no going back.

Now if that login required barrier was removed, I'd at least be willing to give it a try. May not switch, but I'd be willing to give it a chance. But as it stands? Hard pass.

Ok well don’t do it then. Seems pretty obvious. Musk isn’t the only employee in town.
The device tips its nose forward and dumps its rider on their head. There is no need to compare to anything if a device has this behavior. If the battery runs out, I expect the device to come to a stop, not throw me on my ass. I'm pretty sure even a paramotoring rig that runs out of fuel isn't going to immediately hurt me, and those things fly.
I think the losses on both sides of that invisible death ray would be more complex than a long extension cord.
About as useful and informative as the output from any Infosys contractor. Did you do that on purpose?

Complete failure by team to not see super user permission as risks

Clearly the did not implement AWS CloudTrail threat detection otherwise when op accessed the account it should have raised alarms, so its just plain lie

So the GitHub user probably skipped those considering them boring. And instead of reporting their own failure chose sneaky way to make it go away hoping no one will notice
While not fully electric, there's also the Color Line ferry operating between Sandefjord and Strömstad[0]. I happened it be in town for its inaugural voyage and it turned out to be a quaint little trip. As far as I understand it though, they more or less only run on electric power when navigating out of port, and back to diesel when at see and arriving. Enjoyable trip nonetheless!

Yeah they should hit the union button and see what happens
What an asshole. Dude has the nerve to badmouth regulators? What does he think he just did?
As a casual terminal user, I have found Warp to be a nice improvement over standard terminals. Although most of the issues raised in this article can be addressed with various shortcuts, it is nice to not have to remember these when I only pull up the terminal a couple times a week.

Falling from a standing position can be dangerous. "Safe" is a function of the environment you're in and device you're riding- traction, obstacles, intersections, speed of other traffic, visible distance (fog / clear sky / bend in the road), wind, all sorts of things.

Motorcycles have different tire sizes, masses and centers of gravity. The speed they can "safely" travel will always be different than a bicycle.
You can have advertisements without tracking. See the original TV ads.
I expected farm-pest-control robots to look more like the ones in the film "Runaway" (1984) than a big laser turret you drag over a field.
This is not a link to a video describing a specific bug in the product. It's just a link to a search of "onewheel injuries" in YouTube, which presents a variety of videos detailing all manner of injuries that come from operator error and the inherent dangers of OneWheel operation. Try searching for "mountain bike injuries" and see what you get.

Is there anything else? (I'm sincerely interested. The CPSC article clearly infers a situation in which it suddenly stops. Is this confirmed?)
I don’t understand why you would choose to say “karens” instead of “people”.
My inner twenty-something and my not-twenty-something body will benefit from a report like this. I'm still reasonably athletic and those things look dang cool, but the pause a report like this gives is healthy.

I also agree with other comments related to motorized bicycles. I wear motorcycle gear even when riding locally and under 40 mph. Electric bikers can benefit from "gearing up".
When the GT was released, there was a problem with "ghosting", which meant the board would keep moving after the rider had gotten off the board. This was traced to a faulty sensor in the foot pad, for which Future Motion eventually did issue a recall and will replace that gen foot pad at no add'l cost.

It affected a minority of the boards, and the biggest concern was the board crashing into a pedestrian's ankle or smashing into traffic or parked cars. It was certainly a concern, but in no way something that could reasonably be expected to cause death or injury to the rider.

That recall from FM of the footpad was done this summer.

There is no open issue that I'm aware of with the board.

Using them is inherently risky though, like downhill biking or snowboarding.
I am a genuine believer that environment plays a big role in all of those "achievements".
I mean it obviously enables things previously not possible: open experimentation with financial primitives which results in new ideas like automatic market makers. Nothing within the traditional financial world allows you, as a random tinkerer, to create algorithms for exchanging between pairs of assets along a curve defined by the relative amounts of reserves for each asset.

However, whether this freedom to tinker and invent new primitives is worth all the extra risk from people trying to "invest" in this stuff, way less clear. Especially when the freedom is most often used to recreate traditional flavors of financial fraud dressed up as new technology.

There needs to be some conceptual separation between the actual on-chain technology (used by a very smaller minority of people with some kind of financial stake in crypto) vs. buying tokens/coins off-chain. At the very least marketing and promotion of buying made-up crypto tokens should be illegal and probably every off-chain entity related to crypto should be heavily regulated to avoid using the cover of "new technology" to perpetuate scams.
I don't think it's possible to spoil Blindsight by saying anything about it. You would still have to read it to actually feel how profoundly unsettling it is, at least it was for me.
I just did a similar return for an Ebay package, but with USPS. At least in that case there's definitely a label, it's just a matter of who prints it. You could print it yourself from an attachment on the email, or show a QR code at the post office and they'd print it.
Onewheel started with a 2014 Kickstarter with 400 units that had 5 miles of range and a 13 mph top speed. The 2017 XR and 2020 and later GT and Pint versions that can go 20+ miles at 20+ miles per hour are incredibly new as far as transportation tech goes.

2021, when the most recent death was reported, was literally just last year. That's light speed for a bureacracy.

Technology is far faster than regulation - this is true with respect to Uber, Twitter, Onewheel, AirBNB, and a dozen other new tech companies.
Oh, this is great! Thank you.

Totally - instincts are powerful and attempting to collapse their multidimensional information space into words and rationality forces people into absurdities (and the nerds get immense joy at seeing their betters squirm at their toy games). I side with the "appalled", but that's because I know they are soft and polite people clumsily trying to catch up to the high-IQ* nerds.

I have no problem looking nerds dead in the eye and say "I have no respect for you and your abstract games in your toy fantasy world".

* EDIT: high-IQ sounds too flattering; I meant just-smart-enough to vomit articles, books, PhD theses, insufferable "discussions" in tasteless EA-parties crying about "why reality should work different" - throwing a temper tantrum and stomping their feet because normal humans do not want or respect the toy games they play in their toy worlds
I would think using the break time to step away from the computer, look out a window or go outside for a few minutes, would be much better use of the breaks.
I've seen a lot of red flags in my career where managers put people on PIPs -- when in reality it's not a PIP but a personality conflict.

And from what I understand at Amazon, it's kind of the same thing, but PIPs have been aggressively weaponized.
I assume you mean the board fully power off while riding?

If yes, then no.

It is possible to overload the motor by going over the maximum speed or going uphill by at too high of a speed but in that case the board will not actually power off.

The only way the board may turn off is if is fully charged and you immediately ride it downhill (regenerative breaking). To protect the battery from overcharging the board it will turn off in that case but the app will warn you before that happens and for newer boards they have implemented the ability to charge to less than 100% if that is how you start your route.
Let’s recall all cars. I hear people get injured in them as well.

From the CEO of NuGenesis network and Metalabs global:

- Someone was dumping our coin

- We found out it was Alameda

- We asked them to stop market making, yet they continued dumping, all on Liquid

- We have a lot of proof showing the above

- We've known about the FTX scam months and months ago & contacted the SEC

- Media did not listen to us

- No one was listening because no one wanted to believe FTX & SBF was a scammer, even some of the biggest VC firm

- I sent everything to the FTC multiple times, MONTHS AGO, & they didn't even reply

- I won't comment on whether Gary Gensler was involved

- Many exchanges & entities are likely wash trading like FTX. This issue is systematic

They all look shining from the outside, problems start when you join the new team and realize the pile of st you will be dealing with.

Btw this happens in most companies, tons of tech debt. And those who created that st are off onto new projects recreating the exact same mess all over again.

It is a cycle that never ends.

Only chance is to join early and be in for the long run.

Even if I'm a brain in a vat, I'm a brain in a vat that thinks it's hungry.

But I'm not a brain in a vat that thinks it's neurodivergent or not neurodivergent because it doesn't know what that would mean in the first place, and it's not sure anybody else (assuming other brains in other vats exist) does either.
Curious, did you go somewhere that at least matched your salary? I know Amazon compensates very well, so much so that it's probably difficult to find something else unless it's another FAANG company. I have a friend working there who basically deals with all the not-so-good things mostly because the compensation is so good.
Not sure how much crypto mining going away affects it though, demand is still there, you just can't buy their cards right now. I've been trying to buy a few rtx 4090s since launch day and it's nowhere to be found.

On the off chance you get to put it in your cart, it either disappears by the time you check out or the order gets voided afterwards. It rarely stays in stock longer than a few mins.
I enjoy Relentess Refactoring as much as the next guy, but one dimension here is that it is much easier to do in a headless app (or in the backend) than in an app with a major UI. At some point there must be a complete switch from the old UI to the new UI, and that step is extremely complex. It also invites a big rewrite, in an almost irresistible way - "since we'll change the UI, let's just do it from the ground up".

I never realized how fast 25mph was until I fell off my two wheeled electric scooter going that speed and was slowed down by a bus-head impact after I braked a bit. Luckily I was wearing a helmet and long pants, but I still broke my back in several places. A cop that saw me whiff it said I was probably only going 10 by the time I hit the bus.

I believe all of these electric whatever should be lawfully mandated to go below at least 15mph if not lower. I don’t believe that people are able to grasp just how unsafe those speeds are.
I think that Slack is a very helpful tool. Working remote in the video game industry, I can't imagine having as many conversations, screen shares, huddles and files being sent around as this kind of work demands day-to-day without a tool like Slack.

However, text communication online is definitely more negatively perceived than intended - there probably are some studies about this. And the volume of communication can be a bit distracting, especially when people expect that others will respond to instant messages instantly.

But all in all, things like Slack, Teams or Discord are definitely better than not having them to my mind, even if they are imperfect.
Same. I let my kids walk about 0.5mi to the park and I'm more afraid of some nosey busy-body calling CPS on them than I am about traffic or kidnappers.

When I was growing up in the 90s, I'd routinely bike many miles away from home and disappear for hours before I came home. Nowadays letting your kids do that is liable to get CPS called on you.

How the heck did we end up here?!

How are the types not totally screwed up in this kind of pattern? I get that this is JS, but since most of us at the level to be reading this post actually write TS, isn't it true that most of those transformations actually modify the type of the object, and therefor each would need to have a slightly different intermediary type?

When I actually have this problem, I usually define the input as an interface and the output as another interface(maybe extending the input interface).

Then I write a SINGLE function that calls those other functions, collects the data into variables, and then builds a new object of the new data type, and then returns that.

Maybe I'm missing the point here.

While Norway is to be admired I find it difficult to see their experience as applicable to the rest of the world when they have a 1.19 Trillion wealth fund which equates to over 22 million per person in Norway.
Bingo, and the line from electoral politics -> regulation is straight, legal, and requires one step. While filtering political donations through judicial + investigative bodies with egads of separate oversight & career employees & little to no electoral influence would be impossible to manage. Not for 28 million, you would have to buy a loooooot of people off and get extremely lucky. That’s why it doesn’t happen. The get out of jail free card, that is.
And then there's also the question of actual deposits, which would still have to be sent to somewhere - intentionally - and given as those were represented, afaik, as deposits and not buying shares in a high-risk hedge fund, that alone constitutes separate fraud, regardless of how he tried to cover it up afterwards.
If I tell you "if you give me $1000 I'll keep them safe and return them to you anytime you want" and then I take these money and go gambling to Vegas, I can't say "I was just not paying attention, sorry". I knew I promised to keep them for you and gambled with them instead.
Yes, but it is unclear that there was a product failure involved in any of those cases. If the electronics failed that’s one thing. If the battery died because the user ignored it repeatedly haptically nagging them that the battery would die soon, that’s another very different thing.
Public schools just let the repeated violent behaviour happen :p
I'd scale back the verbiage. If you're being compensated well, then the 2 extra hours a day isn't a big deal numbers-wise. If you feel like it sucks, then the numbers don't matter and you can look for something else.

I was once asked to work an extra hour per day if I wanted a promotion with a 7% raise. I turned it down.
Well yes, of course. But it's not energy that we have to spend now, unlike with hydrogen.
I feel the same way and I think your comment hits it right on the head. We should always be curious about how our language misleads us.
What is surprising is the Data Centre figure is by far the largest component of their revenue, more than twice that of "gaming" and close to double what it was in Q4 FY21.

That's phenomenal growth for a product category that was a very short time ago almost exclusively desktop-only. I guess ML workloads are huge and here to stay.
The danger is in the perception. It took me about 10 hours of dedicated practice (over a few weeks) before I felt comfortable using a longboard as a transportation device off of public roads - eg: on a closed campus. When I have seen people pickup an electric longboard they feel safe in a half hour, but obviously don't have any reflexes to back that up.
Docstrings are one thing, but functionality discovery, picking up from scratch, troubleshooting, etc are... not fun, nor easy with the documentation. If you know it well already and use it a lot it's easier to forgive its documentation faults since you can waive off the problems as "that's just learning something new".

But for a lot of people who use it infrequently its documentation is a frustrating mess. Simple problems turn into significant time sinks of trying to find which page of the documentation to look at.

A lot of issues are made worse by shit-awful interop between libraries that claim to fully support dayaframes, but often fail in non-obvious ways... meaning back to the documentation mines.

I'd argue that because there's a market for a single author to write two books about it is indicative of documentation problems.
I think this is... journalism.

You can't text a fraudster in the bahamas and say "Hey, why are you so shit". You have to text "Hey, you're a precious flower with a special story" and then they tell you why they're shit. There's very clearly a level where SBF feels safe to talk honestly, in a self-incriminating way to a friend, where that friend is actually a reporter working for Vox.
I think this ferry between Helsingborg (Sweden) and Helsingør (Denmark) does it in the coolest way. Since 2018 the ferry has been running on batteries. Whenever it docks into any of the two ports, an ABB robot connects the charging cable.

One real cool thing here is that they have gotten it to work for 4 full years in a northern climate. That means a lot of extreme weather edge cases.

> Removing deprecated stuff is… the point of deprecating stuff?

The point of deprecating stuff is to redirect to newer/better/saner APIs, not necessarily removing the thing.

This is where I like Java's approach. Stuff is deprecated in the JDK but fairly rarely is it removed. When it is, it's because the feature is either unused or so detrimental to the ecosystem as to warrant removal (see: finalizers).
