That is mostly correct. Elon operates on an optimal level of abstraction across many domains. An organization's success is determined by thousands of variables. Elon understand most of the most important of those variables at a decent level. Does that mean that PR and Panel Gaps are bad? Yes, but it also means that volumetric efficiency of factories is good. A metric that few other US auto manufacturing CEOs focus on.

I’m not a fan of Many Worlds. Communication or even detection of the split universes is impossible, which means it is impossible to measure. And science requires measurement to confirm our theories. Which means the MWI is equivalent to a simpler interpretation that doesn’t require split universes.
I use Anki every day and it helps in the following ways...

1. It's rare that I have to use Google figure out how to do basic tasks in my Programming Languages of choice (C#, & TSQL). Don't get me wrong I, and everyone on the planet, looks up code on the internet. It's just a more rare scenario for me.

2. I write much quicker then your average developer. Of course most of software development is design and requirements gathering/clarification but when I do get down to writing code I'm very fast.

3. I spot bugs almost immediately because when I go through my Anki deck I get repeated exposure do different error scenarios. In fact I can often simply think about the scenario and it will occur to me where the bug is and what is going on. I attribute this to using Anki on a daily basis.

4. I can read code much better then before I started using Anki. I know at a glance what code is part of the language/framework vs what is custom code for the application.

I'm saying that they have different motivations behind their views, and should therefore be argued against in different ways. Lumping them together like that is not helpful, it is shameful.

I know all about not being allowed to exist, just for being who you are, trust me, I do. I also know a lot about convincing people to LET you exist, rather than choosing between crushing your enemy, subjugating yourself to them, or running away. There is usually a better way. That seems to have been forgotten in modern days, but it certainly still exists.

It starts with following the site guidelines of arguing in good faith and assuming the best out of your opponents. In your view, "cannot exist in public view" and "cannot exist in practice" are one and the same. In their view it is not.

What you are doing is ASSERTING your reality over someone else. That's not a very nice thing to do, whether you're right or not. You WILL have pushback. If you want to convince people of the veracity of your views, you cannot hold that pushback against them. Certainly react to it, certainly defend yourself, but don't hold a grudge against people just for daring to fight you in the first place.

They might be wrong and you might be wrong. In this case, I'm inclined to agree with your view here, but that doesn't mean that people who don't are bad people. Just misguided.

If you want people to show compassion for you and your plight, start by showing compassion for them and theirs. Anything else is quite frankly a waste of time.

I think you've misunderstood the question. He doesn't want a job, he wants a job where he'll get use his special sauce.

All managers spend a ton of time on people problems, and onboarding/training. But CTOs do or can do more; their technical judgements are a key part of the job. They don't have to get into the weeds, but they have to know the weeds and know who on their team knows most about which weeds.

Elon gets ridiculously far into the weeds, frequently; but admittedly that's rare. Jobs relied more on intuition and key tech people, but knew more about the weeds than he let on. I know, most employers wouldn't hire Elon or Jobs or let them do their thing. But again this guy ain't looking for just any perch.

I'm reminded of Sandy Munro roasting/comparing all the executives he worked under at Ford with Musk. It's absolutely true that this guy would be miserable with a standard CTO-type job at the old Ford. He doesn't want our help getting that job.
> this "wiggle room" the fundamental difference between laws and algorithms, so fundamental that we have to fear values withering when algorithms rule, but not when laws rule?

Yes. No rule is clairvoyant. All exceptions cannot be anticipated; exceptions have to be adapted to or stomped out. The law aims to do the former. Algorithms deliver the latter.

> the ruling class can't operate through laws, only through algorithms

Dictators’ decrees are closer to algorithms than law. They’re absolute in a way laws are not. To the degree they diverge, it’s in the enforcement, which is a sloppier version of the law.
Ah I see. So he votes against the man, but is "aligned", because of agreement on a single issue? Even if I bought into your claim that Elon thinks favorably of "QAnon", that is in no meaningful sense Trump alignment.

Good luck making your argument to anyone who isn't a partisan hack.
Chevy is lying. It will tow 20,000lbs, but for 50 miles only, and it will cost $40k, but for a nonexistent trim that comes without battery and wheels. Real specs will be 5,000lbs x 250 miles @ $100k (with taxes and other bs).

For the elevator pitch, you might try not to hit everything, but two things that you think might resonate with that audience. For example, for one audience, you're "full-stack software engineer, plus develop data science models for the product domain".

Be careful not to be seen a presumptuous dabbler. For example, if you've studied a field but not done much of it, when you meet someone who has real experience in that, you're impressed and curious to learn from them; don't try to impress them with what you've read. (Maybe briefly take a clinical look at Reddit /r/iamverysmart top posts for some examples of what not to do; but briefly, since I suspect that dwelling in online forums focused on anger/derision/mockery/etc. isn't a great mode to be in.)

With different people, and in different contexts, you'll talk abotu different facets of your experience and interests, using different language. If some of your interests get into MBA-space, you might talk differently with MBAs than you will with engineers. For example, some of your phrasing above would make a lot of technical ICs think you want a manager job.

Outside of elevator pitches, you can cram a lot of examples into a 1-page or 2-page resume, which people will see in non-elevator contexts.

And articulating examples in a resume that you can skim occasionally might help remember examples, so they're on the tip of your tongue as followups when someone responds to your elevator pitch in some direction.

(Warning: I'm not great at business networking, so pinch of salt. For myself, my current professional self-image is something like "straight-shooter creative engineer, with battle scars, who cares", because that's natural and genuine for me, and it works for a lot of roles. Find what's natural for you, and how that matches with what people need, and whether you want to evolve your interaction styles in some direction.)

So have another column adjacent to the date that stores an enum with an error code with a reason for why the date is missing. My point is, this is business logic, doesn't have a universally applicable definition, and should be handled on a case-by-case basis rather than trying to hard-code it into the date type in the DB.

Default date types, with some columns being nullable, work just fine for my project. I wouldn't want them to be more complicated and force me to consider additional cases, especially if those cases aren't language compatible.

Not too familiar with CoralCDN, will check that out. Would say the comparison with IPFS is apt, BitTorrent though requires people to seed on a per file basis right? so versioning for the source of truth etc becomes tough and you need people to care about your data specifically.

IPFS is an alternate solution, but as addresses are not updatable someone somewhere needs to keep track of where the canonical source is. Further, there is no API built in - the data would live at some address, but someone still needs to construct a way to get it without just downloading the whole data dump at once. Perhaps you shard across different files but that has its own issues.

On chain with Ethereum, you can use a smart contract which allows CRUD operations on the data on a per item basis. The latest version of the smart contract data is clear. The API is basically set with the smart contract - infra to get that has already been built with libraries like ethers, and will continue to be maintained since there are other contracts/products out there that rely on the same infra.

> If you mostly know a card, but miss it on one day [..] that card's learning progress should not be totally reset [..] Instead, you should use some modifier to increase the interval to a reasonable level.

In anki "Deck Options -> Advanced -> New interval -> 0.50" will make it so marking it as "Again" will cut the SRS interval by 50%, so i.e. if "easy" would have been "1 year", it now becomes "6 months" if it's easy the next time.

The above setting is called out in the "Adjust your New Interval" section of the link you provided, so it looks like you may have just missed that you already found the solution.

I've found 0.5 to be a good value, but you can tweak it of course. The default is 0, which gives the behavior you've observed (reset it all the way back).

> I think it would be awesome to pair SRS with high quality images and audio, which I find most helpful for language learning.

Anki cards can include images and audio, and while a little less well, they also support videos.

It's probably worth trying to create a deck within anki that does what you want before building your own system. It'll at least let you find actual issues with anki, rather than the surface-level misunderstandings of it you've got now.
Yeah, but you have patent protection. Software engineers don't have that in all parts of the world.

> There are attempts to explain the classical world using a notion of decoherence, but that have problems with little progress in the last, say, 20 years to address them.

What problems? Note that Aaronson, in the article (as well as a number of commenters in the comments) gives decoherence as precisely the answer to the issue you raise.
Another issue is rising competitions from "traditional" car makers. A large fraction of Tesla's valuation comes from the optimistic assumption that Tesla will ramp up super fast with flawless execution on its production, presumably from prior experiences of other "big techs". And entrench its position with asymmetric power from its software.

Those assumptions are somehow materialized and Tesla is growing very fast, but not in a perfect shape. Tesla's ramp up was slower than (admittedly unrealistic) market expectations so it gave its competitors too much time. FSD still looks 2 years ahead. And Elon now seems completely distracted by Twitter and making collateral damages to Tesla everyday. Given all the contexts, investors' concern seems legitimate IMO.
OT: has anyone tried Sudoku as a two player game?

One way this could be done would be to start with a blank playing field and the players take turns adding digits. If a player is unable to add a digit anywhere without causing there to be a duplicate on a row, column, or in a square that player loses.

That would be suitable for playing on paper. If playing on a computer a more difficult variation could be played. Players alternate adding digits, and after each digit is added the computer checks to see that it is still possible to finish. If it is not, the player who placed the digit that made it unsolvable loses.

This latter variant could also be played by more than two people.

How badly did SWA's past high profile failures affect them? I'd say not so very much. Yes, some short term damage, but we're talking about an industry where no one stands out from a quality perspective. Everyone is seen as some degree of bad, much like big ISP's. People are used to rotating between airlines and, while those affected this round may shift away, others will get frustrated with their preferred carrier and rotate to Southwest.

I think reputation impacts in this industry from anything other than crashes don't hold much staying power.

I'm actually quite tempted to buy the SWA dip...
I work at a remote (except for quarterly in person) company. The thought has entered my head more than once, especially given that when we are in a group setting, someone in management always says “close your laptops”.

I wonder if laptops were more appropriate when remote wasn’t so commonplace. You’d be lugging your laptop to work and then back home (to be available? Or do more work? Not sure what was wanted here but it’s a tangent for sure) now it makes more sense to prioritize an effective machine and not one that costs boatloads just for more RAM. Seriously, Apple could finally find more devs springing for their MacPros.

My comment had the 3-4 lowlights of the trip but there were many, many highlights.. Like the time we went the wrong way on the train and needed to catch a cab so we wouldn't be late for a first impression meeting. For some reason that I can't fully recall (didn't take cards?) we couldn't pay the cabbie. He knew early on in the trip but he took us the full distance. He said "Everyone needs a lift now and again." as we got out. Wouldn't give us his contact info either. Couldn't pay him back, had to pay it forward.

We LOVED London. I want to live there for a year if I ever get the chance. But, shitty people are everywhere. Gotta keep an eye out.

When I'm sick, but not dying, the last thing I want to do is haul myself out to an urgent care unnecessarily to spend money and time, and be in the presence of other sick people. This is detrimental to getting better as soon as possible. Thankfully my employer trusts me, and I don't have to go running to an urgent care every time I get a cold (which they can do nothing about anyway).

There are probability amplitudes in the universal wave function, and those are complex square roots of probabilities.

It is true that deriving the Born Rule purely from the unitary dynamics of the wave function is an unsolved problem. This is discussed a fair bit in the comments to Aaronson's article.
