> not my experience, overblowing

It absolutely is my experience as well. I suspect there’s a sizable majority of people who have no issues with their Tesla ever. But there are still a lot of us who didn’t have a good experience.

Accusing people of lying just makes you look like a blind fanboy.

My 2015 model s would beg to differ. I had it for two years. The screen crashed about once a month and it leaked when it rained, which is annoying in Monterey. First new car id ever bought , shortest I’ve ever owned a car. Fantastic in a lot of ways but the door leaking and the runaround with the company made me unload it.
Target lists of other nations do not include all large metro areas in the US. A list for Russia was leaked once; by NY, LA, Seattle, but the middle of the country was mostly untouched. Presumably local infra in many areas will be disconnected from the old larger grid but locally intact.

Still functioning gadgets with WiFi will be all over and can make a local mesh network. Dams, wind turbines, utility lines, will remain.

It’s not aliens with doomsday weapons hitting all human occupied places from space.

That said it’s really what survivors do about that. Not hard to see many in shock ending themselves given the lack of hands on survival skills, and connection to the manual labor that keeps us alive, like farming.
This is pretty cool!

I started working on GPT3 integration for Notion [0]; but I guess that was obvious to have AI integrated in Notion.

The question is when will we get AI generated images in Notion? Well, then I can shut down my side project [1]

I’d work at SpaceX, maybe Tesla, depending on where, but not Twitter.
I've actually worked as a game developer (albeit on the online services side, so not touching C++ game code directly). I've done 80-100 hour weeks in the run up to internal milestones, betas, and full launches.

The pay, especially at studios, is very low by software engineering standards (only embedded is worse) and people can and constantly are hurt at the job. Divorces, alcoholism, and burnout are so common in the industry that they are just accepted and joked about. And I've seen real burnout. Like not being able to read properly after a couple all nighters, anxiety disorders from pagerduty, becoming fully despondent. Mental work is still work and overwork is still hurtful.
Huh, looks like the Model 3 sells for $47,000. Much less than I was expecting, but still a bit pricey for a kindergarten teacher.

Yes, my education began with Pre-K Montessori, and then transitioned to prep school in 7th grade. The dynamics of my family were chaotic at the moment of transition, so there was not much support for me, and the transition difficult.

40 years later, the self-driven learning informs my work, ceeative practice, and ongoing learning. Montessori taught me to look for the next challenge and embrace it.

Dyslexia / dysgraphia / learning differences were not diagnosed in Montessori school, where I excelled at mathematics. When the pressures of prep school ran into the reading writing differences problems ensued.

The bottom line is Montessori taught me to challenge myself and gave me a lifelong love of learning and independent study.
My c64 has a great working dotmatrix printer. A home computer without a printer is a modern invention. I would expect if the employee had a computer they would have a printer.
I know, but your are not going to produce significant amount of hydrogen to do anything, and it will not be practical nor efficient anytime soon.
Notion is painfully slow - if I use a notes feature I need it to load instantly. I find obsidian to be much better for this reason.
I get that. A superset could be interesting. Downright incompatible seems to tip the balance the wrong way.
This poll question is written so poorly that no one should trust the results at all. A more neutral version would be:

Would you work for Elon Musk?

Or

On one hand, Elon Musk can be contentious to work with, but on the other, he has a track record of bringing incredible new products to market. Would you work for him or not, and why?
The wait list for a Porsche Taycan is 18 months to 2 years. They just can't make enough of them.
I somewhat recently blogged about my process of setting up a private LoRaWAN network as well.

https://prbs23.com/blog/posts/getting-started-with-a-private...

LoRaWAN is definitely an interesting mix of open source implementations and open specifications, and proprietary poorly documented hardware. Unfortunately I haven't had time lately to actually use my network for anything real.
At Elon’s companies working hard is a requirement but you don’t get rewarded in return.

Tesla/SpaceX pays peanuts despite Tesla’s outsized stock returns.

If you believe in the mission, that’d be the only reason to join.

Why not? I like money. I don't care about his politics. Or yours. It is called work not daycare for adults.

My self esteem is also not wrapped up in the recognition of my peers or whomever I "report" to.

Edit: I like how people are downvoting because I answered the wrong way in an open poll. What a bunch of brats. Makes me want to work for Elon even more.
Big panel gaps = lowered fuel economy.

Seems pragmatic to me to care about it.
I'm reminded of Parkinsons Law: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson%27s_law
At least in my country (Romania), the norm in all public schools is to have the same set of ~30 children you'll go to school every day with from grade 0-1 (6-7 years old) to grade 8 (14 years old). Since there are very few to no electives, you'll spend ~all of your time in school with all of these kids every day for 8 years - and virtually everyone in the country has this experience (private schools are very rare).

Edit to add: the whole school would have significantly more people, typically around 5-10 30-pupil classes for each of the 8-9 years. So perhaps the difference is the total number of children in the same school - though typically interaction between different classes, even of the same year, was far less than within-class.

Twitter's problems were caused by Elon though.

Elon structured the deal (or at least signed the deal) such that Twitter is $13 Billion in debt upon signing, and therefore losing an estimated 4-million a day because of it.

Elon did not have to structure the deal like this. Elon did not have to push for the unsustainable $44 Billion buyout price like this. Heck, I'm pretty sure that Elon has enough money to buy out the $13 Billion debt (which is only worth $9 or maybe $8 Billion now on the open market) and solve this problem right now.

------

But instead, Elon _chooses_ to fire half the staff at Twitter. Elon _CHOOSES_ to get into public arguments with his engineers (and fires them afterwards). Etc. etc.

This calamity is a series of unforced errors. If the debt is too much of a burden, buy out the debt (or don't get into the debt to begin with). Its really not that hard of a problem.

--------

I've posted elsewhere on this. But the gist is, Elon took Twitter, a company losing $200 million/year, and instantly turned it into a company that was losing $1500 million/year. (And that's not counting the advertising exodus, which has been estimated at another $600 million of revenue lost due to Elon's poor decisions). Of course he's in panic mode right now, that's a lot of losses.

But Elon _caused_ all of this, with his crappy leadership.
It is objectively false, but the spirit of your comment is grossly incorrect as well. He wasn't sentenced, but the "13 federal crimes" was a plea bargain offered by the prosecution. He killed himself beforehand.

FWIW, I actually have a close friend who ended up in North Kern for a couple years because of a plea deal fiasco. For most of us who never directly interact with the criminal courts, navigating such curcumstances is complelty bonkers and stressful, as I'm sure it was for Swartz.
Google clearly has a very dominant market position, but the recent events with Facebook / Meta have made me reevaluate my stance on supposed tech monopolies. A few years ago, Meta and Google looked like they had an unassailable duopoly on digital advertising, and there were many calls to break up both companies. I completely supported this movement. However, looking at the situation now, Facebook's position is not nearly as strong. TikTok has made a huge impact on the consumption side, and Apple and Amazon have emerged as strong players in the digital ads business. Essentially, the market seems to be working as intended. As for Google specifically, the company recognizes that their main product is nothing more than the "homework website" for the new generation. People are getting more and more of their information from places like TikTok or Reddit. Even if you use Google, it's becoming increasingly a conduit to a handful of destinations. Google's position in the market place doesn't seem as dominant as it once was.
Ahh the "she was practically begging for it with that short skirt" argument.
I have no idea about electronic glove boxes, but electronic window openers are cheaper and more reliable than manual window openers. Sure sometimes an electronic window opener won't open the window when it's frozen shut but that's a good part of the reason why it's more reliable -- many a manual opener has been broken putting too much torque on a window that's frozen shut.

Hi Tim,

I'm a bit biased but https://liveblocks.io is great for that :)

If you know how to use React, that's pretty much all you need to know. It also includes some nice hooks to enable things like multiplayer undo/redo and live cursors.

The team even put a couple of interactive blog posts about that that you might find interesting:

They're clearly talking about the area on the right of the menu bar. You know, the one you can't (temporarily) hide entries for without a third-party app, which is functionality that exists in both Windows and KDE.

There is so much irony in this. Musk buys Twitter to "save Free Speech", then promptly fires anyone at Twitter who disagrees with him.

People are using "gaslight" in contexts where it doesn't apply way too much these days.

At least the Passport seems a pretty good balance even if there are still more "do you really need to have an electronic control for that?" things than I'd probably like in an ideal world.
FWIW, for building your own private network, there is no need to rely on something like TTN (hosted by someone else - isn't that a contradiction in itself?). ChirpStack (https://www.chirpstack.io/) is a very mature and easy to deploy LoRaWAN suite that's worth looking at!
Notion is a VC backed company.

Less snidely, it's probably a lot more interesting to poke at AI integration than building another REST API. I bet there are more programmers putting their hand up to "explore that area" at the stand ups.
When I first switched to osx many years ago, this was a pretty jarring change. I was used to alt+tab switching between all windows, and had muscle memory tied to that.

Today, however, I couldn't imagine going back. Having separate toggles for switching apps vs. switching app windows is so much faster and useful - once you get used to it. But it does take retraining muscle memory.
Yes, but at SpaceX, not Twitter.

I don't, sorry.

It's a few years since I researched it, and I didn't build anything.
I assumed the context to be something like "would you still work there after the take over", or "would you accept the offer if that was the only big VC place you could get to" rather than "would you apply to work there while having other options". Otherwise, I would agree on just "no".
Got it. I thought the article seemed excessively press-release-y. Surely every ICE component and micro-configuration has been iterated over the decades, especially in the parts that are at the heart of the machine like this. Even more so when you take specialty use-cases into consideration, as you pointed out.

The bottom line, of course, is that my manual transmission cars are the last of their kind. I will enjoy every flick of the shifter until the stars burn out.
It appears the company is saying that the trading/custody business is not affected, but loan redemptions and originations are.

This Bloomberg article has more:

> Crypto brokerage Genesis is suspending redemptions and new loan originations at its lending business after facing what it described as “abnormal withdrawal requests” in the aftermath of the collapse of FTX.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-16/crypto-br...

There's also this interesting bit:

> Last week, Genesis said it would get a $140 million equity infusion from its parent company, Barry Silbert’s Digital Currency Group, after disclosing that its derivatives business had $175 million in funds locked in an FTX trading account. The lending business had previously been affected by its exposure to bankrupt crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, to which it had made a $2.4 billion loan.

FWIW, Digital Currency Group is the company behind the popular GBTC closed-end fund, which is available to US investor brokerage accounts. This fund has had problems of its own, trading at a relatively large (and growing) discount for some time:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-13/grayscale...

Oddly enough, the Genesis Trading yield farming page makes it look like nothing unusual is going on. No announcement, no notice, no nothing. Situation normal.

It's akin to working for Trump IMO. Narcissists are a hard no from me.
We should qualify the poll question with: "... assuming current pay rates and working conditions."

I suspect that nearly 100% would vote "yes" under the right conditions. E.g., $1e7 USD/day, no strings attached.
Automakers rate things like panel gaps on an X of 10 scale, where X is on average how many people have historically complained about a gap of a given size. Some thing are rated as maybe a 3 of 10, and they won’t overly obsess on it, but something that shows a 6 or 7 of 10 complaint rate is going to get attention. It is very data driven, from the fact that a significant number of new cars buyers DO actually care.
Nobody is talking about his politics. They are talking about his management style.
Who needs MLflow when you have SQLite?
That's funny. I remember news reports about how Japanese consumers didn't want to buy American-made cars because of the perception that Japanese cars were higher quality. The salesmen tried to explain that American consumers didn't care about things like panel gaps or wind noise of door closing bump noise.
There’s a dozen other companies that would look better on a resume.
How long to batteries last?

A quick google search shows that average age of a car in USA is ~12 years... oldtimers and crashed newish cars skew that number away from the median, but generally batteries will lose capacity way sooner than that, and replacement is currently either very expensive or even impossible in some models.
Hydrogen also has a lot of problems that make it expensive for car use. But the real problem electric cars have to beat is battery and resource life cycle. You can charge your car now but think about how it would look like if even 30-40% of people would need to charge at the same places.

Problem is there is very little incentive for anyone to invest in energy infrastructure. That is a problem affecting EVs, but also a problem that needs to be solved anyway.

They may have lost $16B but, as they were converting customer deposits into coins the customer did not buy, such as FTT but also many others, then it seems bad math to value the customer deposits at $16B - prior to essentially shorting against their customers, perhaps those deposits were worth 5x more. And it doesn't seem unreasonable to believe more deposits would have been made, if the price of the assets their customers hoped to buy (Bitcoin is far and away the market leader) were not being shorted in this manner.
I'm not a mathematician but their activities may have amounted to many tens of billions of sell pressure against Bitcoin. Elon Musk purchased $1.5B and the price of this finite asset rallied tremendously, what might these tens of billions have resulted in?
The article has that extended, unexcerptable part about how tech and finance people are on it in particular because our jobs are unusually hard to focus on for hours per day. The people who can do it both unmedicated and uninterrupted are rare.

There have been periods, sometimes extended times, when I have had a hard time focusing on my job. Other extended periods of time when I literally want to do nothing else.

Over the years, these extremes in variation have largely gone away on its own and I like to have a nice work-life balance.

But I'm doing nothing close to ambitiously creating a cryptocurrency exchange nor making scads with Jane Street, either, and now I must confess to FOMO.

Then you haven't tried KDE's, which is so good that people started packaging it for other desktop environments as well.
Don't put yourself down, $9k/month is nothing to scoff at, Nice work!
I suspect it is more of the situation like at Twitter. You have a job already and you need to decide whether to quit if Elon acquires your company. You might care more about getting a paycheck then whatever nonsense ensues.
The reference to "Programming Perl" was no doubt helped along by Perl developer Jesse Sheidlower who worked at the OED in the early 2000s. From his Wikipedia page: "Although not a computer programmer by training, Sheidlower introduced Perl to the North American offices of Oxford University Press and developed tools for data manipulation when no programmers were available. He is also one of the core developers of Catalyst, a popular Perl web development framework."
I have 2 friends who work for Elon (in meetings with him regularly). You can disagree with the man. It’s allowed. You better be standing on solid ground through because the man is smart.

Also, I cannot think of many bosses who you could publicly disagree with on Twitter where being fired isn’t a likely outcome.
> This is counter to what I have heard about Amazon, which is that it is a ruthless environment where low performers are stack ranked out of the company. Does anyone have any insight?

If you have to fire the bottom x% of your team every year due to low performance, doesn't it mean that you have a constant low performing cadre? Otherwise, why would you get rid of them?

So I don't think it being "cut throat" and there are "many low performers/bloat" are at odds.
I'm really not sure we can class anyone who thinks Musk is a genius as being "smart dudes".
Does it need to be a conspiracy theory though ? I don’t think it’s required.

What value does this add to its users?

Most of the rich want extreme privacy, they do not desire to life in villages or cities, they want lonely towers on fort like islands or remote bunkers with a view.

Here they do not get this, but they have the same costs as a normal yacht + tax costs to maintain the greater whole.

It does not even provide decoupling from all forms of society, as the underclass necessary to maintain the vessel could rebel. The turtle moves, back to the drawing board.

Good HTML parser libraries follow that part of the spec and collapse multiple spaces into one.
Let's say a person was aware that tracing in this manner was possible but they still needed to use the office printer. What if they wrote a letter and also added pages of other additional paragraphs. They print all those pages but only mail the one page and shred the rest. This would show a much bigger file kb-wise in the printer log and would not get caught.
Writing is one field that I think won't be able to achieve the 'human' touch anytime soon. Art? Sure, as we have already seen with DALL-E and the like. Music? Doubtful (look up Kandrake-Z for an example), but not sure if it will expand beyond plunderphonics and noise. But writing? Meh.

I don't know if anyone even uses content-generating AIs like this for writing - but I'd be glad to change my mind by seeing some hard numbers. I mean, except for incomprehensible content-generated articles that pop up on searches only because of PageRank's flaws.
> You really shouldn't be driving like that. You don't know if the car in front of you making that turn is going to brake suddenly, like because, I dunno, they suddenly see a pedestrian crossing on the side street.

I think that's the problem with that attitude and why I don't like my car doing excessive braking. Unlike the distance lidar, I can actually see there's nothing obstructing the turning driver, and I can see their speed of leaving the lane is simply too high for them to stop before leaving the lane even if they slam the brakes. And even if they did somehow manage to break where they are already I'd only need a little swerve to the left to drive around with no traffic there etc
