I like a good conspiracy theory, but it's unrealistic to expect that the investors knew about this.

If they did, they would know there'd be a 100% chance that it would blow up.

This is some serious balance sheet depravity. This is not like the CEO buying up companies with a conflict of interest, or billing the company for their private jet. All of that is plausibly legit.

When there are no financial controls at all, money is being looted, it will go down.

VC funds normally don't do due diligence so long as some other entity did it in the round, there is legit oversight on the board etc.. in this case, their own controls failed.

All of the funds who invested in FTX need a serious audit of policy.

This is a dereliction of responsibility, not just a 'bad bet' and so heads should roll. They probably won't though.
Somewhere in the post, it's mentioned fb uses code ownership logic in the next review engine.

If folks are interested, there's project called https://github.com/milin/gitown which does something similar in github leveraging code owners.
Best of luck! Your attitude is really inspiring.
> There’s no grand value proposition like you might see on a short form Instagram video about how to make cute popsicles for summer. At the end he didn’t approach the camera and say “Hey if you liked that, be sure to like and subscribe and hit that notification bell.” It’s just someone dancing their heart out and enjoying themselves.

To be fair, TikTok has a lot of videos that do end with "hit the + or heart on the right" or "what do you think? leave a comment" or "if you want part 2" etc.
I dont really... he always said the case for buying Twitter was idealistic.
They should hire @jdegoes to save Twitter from the heresy of their Java++ ways.
Yeah, still tough. More like 5X - 10X. Definitely not the 200X disparity claimed by parent though.

Apple had $1M profit per employee in 2021.

What’s an achievable PPE for a business like New Twitter? If you say $500K, and if you subscribe to The Headcount Method of Valuation, that implies Musk will need to 10X headcount from this low point to break even in 10 years.

(I question the premise though — I don’t think the plan is “extract $44B in cash by 2032.”)
Is there not just a bit or irony here that exactly 7 days ago Elon was ordering "all employees back to the office" and today he's ordering "all offices are closed"?
Elastics were so bad back then that they needed something to hold them up. They’d just bunch up like ankle warmers without the sock straps.
Yeah it looks like they rotated it. It used to be this one: https://crt.sh/?q=DA26F72EACAC75CCEE794140441020848697AEB0

I think interesting moments bookmarking is more of an open-ended problem and would very much depend on the game, but large computer-vision models like CLIP have proved to be really useful in recognizing general-purposes activities. You could sample frames uniformly from a game video, index them with a text-captioning model, then find/curate a subset of those captions based on your definition of interesting, and then use those curated captions to look for those moments in future videos, i think!

Nothing you said means you can't feel sad. No matter how long and full someone's life is, there is still sadness when they are gone. It doesn't have to be debilitating sadness, but it is ok to feel sad.
In a system at $WORK I recently optimized a structure from String to Box<str> (similar optimization to remove the 8 byte capacity field) and saved ~16Gb of memory. Granted, the program uses 100-200Gb of RAM at peak, but it still was a nice win for basically no work. It's also a semantic win, since it encodes "this string can't be mutated" into the type.

I have fond memories of attending his "No Silver Bullet" lecture only a few short years ago.

A favorite quote of mine from MMM: "The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures...."
On the fact I can hear perfectly, what are my ears magic?. No it’s not obvious at all. As we age we accumulate toxic chemicals, take injuries, and genetics become corrupted as the telomeres become exhausted. After the average age our ancestors reproduced is passed, anything and everything goes really.

Look at a violinist play, their neck is held at a 45 degree angle, compressing blood vessels going to… the left ear. If you do that 5 hours a day you might just get hearing loss.

See you’re oversimplifying a system with many layers of complexity. But if noise made you deaf and light made you blind, we would have many more deaf and blind people.
I believe a lot of people understand this but they have no choice, especially
those working for less money.

IMO the bigger problem is consumerism and the ephemeral nature of many goods (they break easily). This keeps us on the hamster wheel forever.

If it wasn't for that, my current salary can cover _everything_ in my rented flat for one year of work, maximum two. Add 5-10 more for a good flat or a house.

It seems the system doesn't want people to retire at 30. So we're kept busy and all our stuff breaks constantly.

It sucks and it gave me a serious existential dread but I see no way out. Working hard to maybe have a side gig with a passive income is the best I can do right now.

So again, I believe a lot of people understand what you're saying but what can they do?
So... basically all other social media platforms before "intense" monetization.
I can relate completely. This has cost me countless jobs and I have resorted to treating with beta blockers before interviewing. I may be using too low of a dosage because it doesn’t seem to be that effective in my experience.
Not really, I sat with my dad a couple weeks ago as he loves that thing and I wanted to understand what's so cool about it. To me, it's yet another brilliant platform for marketers but can not see the point of using it as a regular user
I think that's important to note, and also worth keeping in mind that Elon's Twitter experience is probably an extreme outlier in terms of how users interact with the site.
I'm extrapolating based on past observations of both Musk and the people throwing tantrums right now.
Sure? Went on a snowboard weekend getaway once, instructor recommended a beer as a class in the bottle because then you are relaxes. But just one beer. Since you probably interview no more than couple of times a year on average, don't see anything problematic. Now if you found yourself relying on liquid courage in your daily life, you would want to make some adjustments. If you are looking to relax a bit without impaired judgement or calories, try Kava instead of alcohol for example.
You get massive DoS attacks pretty regularly? State sponsored hackers?
Now multiply that frequency against the ratio of machines Twitter has vs you.
Greatly depends on your longitude and time of year as well. I still supplement vitamin d, but get regular blood work.

Are Facebook/Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts then equally dangerous?
I have friends who have done both Ayahuasca and DMT. Ayahuasca seems to be much longer acting and more intense when administered correctly (but a lot of it seems to be set and setting). DMT has two variants, the n-n and the 5-meo. Friends report the n-n to be much more visual and the 5-Meo to be more physical. 5-Meo has been known to cause seizures at high doses.

I think both of these compounds raise your blood pressure a lot. That’s not good for a lot of existing conditions.
If you want to get an idea, why not listen to some engineers that have worked with him? There are plenty of those around, for example, Andrej Karpathy talked a bit about working with Elon recently - https://youtu.be/cdiD-9MMpb0?t=5668

He also started both Tesla and SpaceX with a "fortune" of about $300 million. $300 million is of course a lot of money. The reason I put fortune in quotes is because he was looking to get into aerospace. An industry where NASA, and their near century of experience, ended up paying an aggregated cost of more than $1.6 billion per flight, over 134 flights.

A guy with a vision and a few hundred million, in this context, has what many would have said would be a 0% chance of success. Many people somehow seem to have this view that if you just have enough money you can solve any problem in existence. It's probably just the consumerist mindset taken to its [not so] logical extremes - where literally anything is for sale, even that which doesn't exist.
Imagine him and Elon in a room. Their combined egos would create a singularity and we'd all die.
maybe I don't get it. I search "climbing". i assume there must be a lot of this kind of content being produced by 15-25yos but there's basically none. i've searched this term every couple of months for a year now and the same exact results are always on the first page

maybe this is too niche of a sport?

>None of these facts about the actual distribution of wealth and income is captured by looking at a median income and making up a fiction about what an imaginary American can afford.

Funny you would end by writing of making up a fiction about what an imaginary American can afford when both this comment and your other one are imaginary realities. You say rent takes up most of some $70k, it doesn't. You say "all parties" at that income level are on food stamps, they're not, the percentage of Americans using food stamps varies by year but is 13-15%. You say 169 million Americans are below the median income, no, because we're talking about household income. And, you know, why would you put the 72 million children into this as they generally have $0 income and their expenses are paid by their parents. As well, I'm quite aware of what the distribution of income as I've looked it up in the past. The Congressional Budget Office does a regular report on the distribution of household income and taxes. In the last such report, 2018, the average pretax household income for the bottom quintile before taxes is $22k, after taxes and means tested transfers their income is $38k (yes, they do have a negative net tax rate.) Which is sufficient to live in most big cities in the US.

These [0] people did an analysis of the cost of living in the largest 74 cities in the US. The most expensive among these cities was Irvine, CA with a monthly cost of living of $3062 and a median individual income of $55k. Americans don't have to fight rats for scraps of food from the trash.

I also agree he's a good (master?) business man.

But did he have to be so cruel? Post this picture https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1592618665933156352 while 5k people lost their jobs? And all the other stuff... I mean... it's one thing to "tell it like it is", which is a trait a lot of people admire. But he's just doing a bunch of stuff that deep down only abominable human beings would think and let alone act on it.

Realtors control the pricing, and will continue to drive the prices up. The state profits via excessive property taxes, so they are in the same camp as the realtors.

I have high physical stress levels during interviews but it does not interfere with performance. I feel at ease and perform well under pressure because my mind feels clear and it is easy to focus and recall similar problems. I used to be a very competitive chess player and found that I could easily focus for 4-6 hours during a tense chess game.

But the high levels of arousal does show up in other ways. Higher heart rate, extra sweating, suppressed hunger, difficulty sleeping that night unless I find a way to destress. It's not something that my mind and body can sustain for weeks at a time. It's important to remember to take care of yourself and choose the stressful moments that matter.

I am sorry to hear that. You might find very useful this EP about meditation from Andrew Huberman: https://youtu.be/wTBSGgbIvsY

It’s the first time I saw someone differentiating different types of meditation and it seems to match your experience.

Basically, we can either exercise and build up our focus to our internal state and bodily sensations OR do the same but focusing externally.

The interesting thing is that some people are biased to one or another, and if you have issues like anxiety then you should probably practice meditation to strengthen your focus and attention less on your body and more externally.

Really recommend the whole EP, I think you’ll find particularly interesting given your story.
I'm one of those who tend not to embellish my written messages with all sorts of euphemisms and fluff. So maybe my coworkers find my written communication a bit dry.

First, I don't have very good verbal skills and second, I find certain contorted forms of language to communicate simple things disingenuous. So I'd rather say "please do X" instead of "oh there is no rush, I wanted to just give you a friendly nudge to blah blah and then circle back blah blah". It all sounds passive aggressive in the latter form IMO.

That said, you want to meet the people you talk to over a video call or even better in person in order to establish a good understanding and trust. Overall written format has a much lower bandwidth than the verbal communication. gifs and emojis do help a little communicate the tone though.
Not per se, but it does seem like the volume of stuff launched into space vastly exceeds the need for it. And the environmental effects on the upper atmosphere of the increasing number of rocket launches is worrisome.
There is an argument that it has to hit the plateau first before a new technology can take over, the problem being that if the current tech is really scaling by 2x every 2 years, a new technology that is 10 years from commercialization has to be more than 30x better than current technology to be worth considering. However if current scaling slows down, the extra delta required is reduced.

I seem to remember this was an argument made with Josephson Junctions back in the day. They were potentially better, but always far enough out that traditional technologies would exceed the projected performance by the time they launched.

So maybe we need to hope for current trends to plateau if we want something new to replace it.

I just tried turning off wifi on my phone. After googling what is my ip and pinging the IPv6 address from another IPv6 device, it doesn't work. Whether it's a firewall/NAT/whatever is irrelevant. IPv6 as deployed does not provide p2p.

PS - typing the IPv6 address was super annoying and error prone compared to IPv4.
I cannot fathom how anyone watches Jerry Springer, so I can't answer that question. My question is why would advertisers pay for an Elon Musk owned communication channel? A scripted show like Jerry Springer has limits and advertisers can rely on that. Twitter is completely unpredictable. Displaying advertisements next to unpredictable has had very bad outcomes in the past. Good bad or other, that is what Elon has to demonstrate he understands.
> Perhaps a normal person would be scared seeing a friends face morph into a demonic figure, but I just find myself asking "why his face and not everyone's face?" and then proceed to systematically look at faces for what feels like hours

On some drugs, dosages, and settings, you can lose all concept of what a "face" is. Or even what "is" is. All I knew was pain, suffering, torment, spinning, and eternity.
I'm guessing this is the case because "I didn't see the email" is plausible. I think all my jobs have asked for a one sentence resignation email to HR just so everyone's on the same page.

No. There’s no point when Mastodon exists. And Twitter has massively improved just in the last few weeks.
OMFG nevermind he's a damned fool.
They explicitly mention selfhosting services like Mastodon in the article, so have high hopes that they will support use cases like this moving forward.
Oh, so it's specifically for ticket scalpers. I was thinking sneakerheads, but I guess that makes sense too.

> We can only asymptotically approach that world (and at present we are nowhere close).

Well, we're nowhere close because neither browsers nor operating systems are currently doing DNSSEC validation by default.

This could change (figuratively speaking) tomorrow if vendors decided to do so (along with implementing DNS-over-HTTPS if they haven't already).

> In addition to fallback being one of the most famous rats nets of security vulnerabilities in all of practical cryptography, this situation dictates that browsers won't be able to eliminate X.509 with DANE;

I think you are failing to see a future where the vast majority of these obstacles have been solved and therefore websites could afford to disable support for the remaining tiny (but long) tail of WebPKI-only clients.

Even despite the fallback problem, I think a DANE-based PKI system would be much simpler than WebPKI currently is, by orders of magnitude. So I don't think we would be worse than where we are now, where we just keep adding layers upon layers of complexity without actually solving the real problem at the root.

> they'll merely be adding a new trust anchor to the root store. The worst of both worlds.

No, it's not merely adding a new trust anchor, because that implies the old anchors would still be accepted even though the new anchor is working.

The idea is that if the client can do DNSSEC validation then it can disable all the other anchors and just use DANE (if the website has already migrated).

Comparing a bad psychedelic trip to a bad experience with cannabis or alcohol is kind of trivializing it. A moderate LSD dose can last 8-12 hours and at its peak is much, much more intense. Unless you have some valium on hand, if things go south there is no escaping it. You can't just go to sleep like you could with alcohol or cannabis.
