Musk simply never thought in terms of the 5D chess that people always accussed him off. He was always just basically saying what he believed.

On this free speech issue he simply had logiced himself into incoherent tangle.
That sounds an attack on the people of India for something a private company is doing. I also don't think the US has jurisdiction there, so I'd much rather see an investment in education or public infrastructure to help with it.

If this was similar to the Russia stuff where the goal was to affect the election and was sponsored by the govt then sanctions kinda make sense, but this is a problem of international communication between private citizens. If we wanted to make some law for this that seems cool but it'd need to be done at the UN, not in the US
You have the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice. If you choose to do nothing you still have made a choice.

Life doesn't require anyone to confront bad stuff that only grows worse if it is tolerated.

Life does, however, require everyone to live with the consequences of our choices.
After ten years of people claiming that everything they happen to personally dislike is objectively "harmful" and ought, therefore, to be banned, I'm exhausted and fed up. Technology is not harmful. If the market isn't weeding out "harm", it's not harm.

If B is referring to this tweet https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1607494455720022018, I feel the need to point out that this was obviously trolling/sarcasm. People can criticize Musk all they want — hell, they can even argue the trolling/sarcasm is inappropriate — but pretending that Musk was "praising" that batshit thread is beyond silly.
Tesla could go out of business or become a takeover candidate. Electric car subsidies are on the line in many cases in EU.

I would focus on theory first, then tools. I recommend the following, in order:

1) Data modeling: Fully read Kimball's book, The Data Warehouse Toolkit, 3rd edition. It's outdated and boring but it's an excellent foundation, so don't skip it.

2) Data modeling: After #1 above, spend at least 30 minutes learning about Inmon's approach, the ER Model, 3NF, etc. You can find some decent YouTube videos. You don't need to learn this deeply, but you should understand how it's different than Kimball's approach.

3) Data warehousing & data lakes: Read the academic paper titled "Lakehouse: A New Generation of Open Platforms that Unify Data Warehousing and Advanced Analytics." For an academic paper, it's surprisingly approachable.

4) If you don't know this already, do 15 minutes of googling to understand ETL vs ELT and the pros and cons of each approach.

5) Putting it all together: Once you've done the things above, then read Kleppman's book, Designing Data-Intensive Applications.

6) Focus on the future: Spend a little time learning about streaming architectures, including batch/microbatch/streaming and pros and cons for each. You may also want to learn about some of the popular tools, but you can easily google those.
I'm not sure if the economic angle is convincing, since Canada spends over $300B a year on healthcare [0]. Are you suggesting MAID was introduced to save "as much as" 0.03% of healthcare expenditure?

I think it’s because giving any “territory” to Russia justified see the pretense of ending war isn’t believable.

If you don’t believe it condemns more people to be colonial subjects and the be redeployed to destroy Ukraine, I can see the confusion.

A lot of tycoons aren’t commenting about the war at all if the fear how the judgement will affect business.
Elon doesn't exactly tweet like a rational logical being at the moment. It seemed to me he was praising the tweet because it mentioned him and said he was going to be president of the US (or something like that) so he thought it was cool. Then he just snuck back in and denounced it later when he remembered he has a security clearance.

He's already taken calls with Putin and randomly decided to announce Ukraine should negotiate peace with Russia, then lost interest and dropped it.

(Note, the way Elon "talks" in tweets would be sarcastic if it was someone younger, but remember he's middle aged and still calls things epic unironically.)
Same problem with physical mail in the U.S. 99% of physical mail I get is commercial garbage, but I still have to sift through them since I don’t want to miss the remaining 1% from IRS.
I spent the holidays moving to a different provider (1password). 1password's security posture is superior in almost every way and it allows me to avoid having to worry about syncing keepass, etc to my phone and 10 different computers. I still have hundreds of passwords to change at this point.

I can't imagine LastPass is long for this world after this one. Most other breaches were minor compared to this mess.
> 1) be pissed at being asked to understand it, and 2) not even try it after I died, and suffer all the inconvenience of not having access to my accounts.

Your family sounds fun to be around.

1Password emergency kit is pretty well-designed, all things considered. It's a neat, single-page PDF with all the necessary information[0] (URL to login, email address/password, and the security key as text or QR Code for easy setup).
I guess a link to a sort of tutorial/guide of how to use it to recover the account would be a welcome addition, but I find the format to be pretty solid.

It's pretty hard to find information on lastpass version of the feature. What does it look like? According to their documentation of the "Emergency Access" feature, it claims to be a one-time access[1]? What happens after that access, do you just lose your access forever? That seems much worse than the 1password emergency kit!

BMI being accurate is really a broken clock being right twice a day sort of thing. If you have any appreciable muscle mass, or do any sort of training beyond just running (or run a lot) BMI is wrong almost all the time.
Certainly most of my inbound calls in Ireland are scam calls. Not sure this is solved EU-wide, maybe just in your specific EU country?

As far as I know the solution is to require more anti-spoofing techniques (e.g. SHAKEN/STIR) for caller ID and then cut off the carriers who don't provide that, plus the carrier providing the numbers enforcing stronger terms on their users.
How did you manage to get this wrong?
I had to instruct my elderly father to do the same -- any kind of accent and he hangs up. He got scammed by one of these people in 2018 or so -- he gave the person his debit card number over the phone to remove malware on his computer while I was out on a super-long run. Luckily he couldn't remember his PIN, and his bank was great at blocking the charge. There's a special place in hell for these animals who prey on old people.
Tesla has been (and still is IMHO) overvalued. It is sold as a tech company when really it's just a car company. You compare it to any other car company and it looks horribly overvalued. Last year (at a higher share price) it's valuation was about $800,000 per car they produced that year. That just doesn't make sense.

Tesla has been massively propped up by government subsidies and carbon credits, to the point that they tried not to break out their dependence on such things [1]. As more car companies embrace EVs those carbon credits are going to go away and the government subsidies are going to be more spread out.

Tesla has had years of over-promising and under-delivering, most recently with the Cybertruck. The Ford F150 Lightning is a dire warning for tesla. It takes a hugely popular truck and makes what seems to be a highly-regarded EV out of it. It remains to be seen if Ford can maintain volume and control costs. But the point remains that the F150 Lightning is real and the Cybertruck isn't.

Additionally, Teslas have been plagued with QC and design issues. The seat controls were prone to breaking to the point Tesla issued a software update to disable "excessive" seat adjustments [2] as just one example.

And then there's Elon himself. Elon's target market are, bsaically, rich coastal liberals. His politics are alienating his customer base.

But here's my favorite part: Elon has done more to dispel the myth of meritocracy than anyone who has come before him. Yes he still has his stans ("D** riders" if you prefer) but there sure seem to be less of them than a year ago. They seem to have been replaced by run-of-the-mill conservatives.

Many (including myself) were fooled by SpaceX but it's become increasingly clear that SpaceX succeeded in spite of Elon not because of him. There are a bunch of reports that SpaceX has competent management that has effectively insulated the company from Elon. As an aside, SpaceX too has had problems hitting targets throughout its whole history.

This is really breaking the spell of capitalist propaganda. The likes of Elon aren't so rich because they're amazing geniuses. It's really more luck and privilege than anything else.

Elon's fumbling of Twitter and desperate need for approval (eg "should I remain as CEO?" followed by "be careful what you wish for" is basically "do you like me?") has been entertaining to watch but at least a few people might stop venerating princelings who have simply failed upwards their entire careers. and that counts for something.

> [it’s] pretty much an airport thing and not an airline thing. Airports are in charge of deplaning your luggage and bringing it to you

That depends on the airline and airport. It’s extremely common for the airline which operates out of a large part of a terminal to do their own ramp work.

Southwest employs thousands of ramp agents to do their own ground ops and under-wing work at their bases.

When he realized it was too easy for people to not get the joke and were using it to hurt Tesla.
It's pretty clearly an attempt at humor, but there's still room for troubling conclusions within that framing.

For one, the fact that Musk is even being recommended that kind of content is concerning. Twitters algorithm is set up in such a way that to get exposure to that kind of content, you have to be intentionally engaging with pretty delirious circles of narratives.

Additionally, of all the possible jokes to make on all the possible pieces to riff off of, he chose a pretty mediocre joke on an almostly tepidly incoherent take - his joke isn't necessarily endorsement, but it's still an intentional choice that doesn't really signal the kind of responsibility investors are probably looking for.
Yes, the hardest part being to drain your water heater (which is on the annual maintenance schedule)
> I don't understand the thesis that Musk is somehow pro-Russia.

There's a bit of a conspiracy theory going around that Musk was trying to get out of buying Twitter by publicly aligning with Russia/sabotaging Ukraine a bit. The idea would be being enough of a thorn in the US' backside that they might let him walk away from the deal.

It's a funny one in that Musk has done enough bizarre stunts by now that I don't see this as completely implausible on his part, but given that the US government isn't a dictatorship and has separation of powers I don't think such a deal would be possible even if some part of the US government wanted to take it.
Maybe this is a good lesson that when you’re the CEO of major companies and publicly speaking with a member of a government engaging a genocidal war of aggression, it’s just not smart to make any of these “le epic trolling” style jokes

If you are doing array or vector-based work where the operations can be written as maps as opposed to for loops then JAX is king imo.
How you present yourself to others will always matter. Others may not say something to you directly about it if you dress poorly, or have bad grammar, or cannot do basic math, but the skilled WILL laugh at you quietly. It's human nature to mock incompetence. You cannot legislate or morality police it away. And in corporate America, you will be passed over for promotions and plum assignments. The only "professional" career where obvious ineptitude is publicly rewarded is politics.
That was actually quite a clever idea. It would have definitely caught my attention as a tech hiring manager. I guess you learned that the company doesn't think about growth media like you do. That's unfortunate as their service would seem to lend itself to creatively unconventional approaches.

I'm not convinced the solution to the problem "I'm not able to deliver this item because you're not answering the door or phone" is to expect delivery drivers to use asynchronous communication methods and plan their day around making deliveries when people that can't or won't respond immediately get around to replying.

I receive more spam SMS than scam calls too. Some of them are even asking me to provide information for the benefit of fake deliveries...

Also a chest X-ray to check for TB, a lazy question to the crowd - could that not also be performed via blood test?
I completely disagree. The article makes an extremely strong case that the press release was designed to mislead people into downplaying both the severity of the situation, and the depth of incompetence at LastPass (both of which are matters of considerable importance for all current and prospective LastPass customers.) Attempting to mislead people is considerably more serious than mere incompetence.

The best (if not only) way to make these points is to analyze the PR statement itself. Any paraphrasing or generalization would just give LastPass an opportunity to reply with more non-sequiturs.

Dissembling circumlocution and omission is a feature of PR communication, designed to mislead anyone who is not intimately familiar with all the details. I would like to se more analysis of this sort.

> Security professionals seem to have a common trait of thinking they know better.

The author here does know better than the people running LastPass.
There are in the US too, but you have to bring your own fuel (coal/charcoal).
For a time it was considered propaganda to push for peace. It was truly bizarro.

Then a few weeks later regime approved voices said we should consider peace and it was no longer considered propaganda.
I was not interested in the stock at the highs. I am buying as much as I can currently at this level. Musk has always been a wild card but he can deliver. I wish he had not bought Twitter but it doesn't really change my outlook on Tesla, SpaceX or long-term the boring company. Most of the freak out over Musk is just the left's anger over his views. I just ignore it. Dude is eccentric.

It is not just Americans who affected by these scams. It is also Indian elderly population too who are affected by these scams. I think Indian authorities are very slow to react to these issues because police dont really understand the impact these calls make. Also they are paid off and are often of part of the mafia that runs them. My parent's friends have also been scammed. The Netflix series "Jamtara" really shows how intertwined these scams are with political system. The intent of these mafia and political groups is purely money and there is anti American sentiment that drives them.
To be clear, I think that lockdowns are a gross affront to civil liberties and unjustified for anything under a 10 (and probably even) 20 percent lethality rate.

My opinion at the time (when vaccines looked very distant) was that places like Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and Korea could still control the pandemic via border quarantines and contact tracing (which happened) and that places like the US also could also achieve good results via mass testing (which didn’t happen).

It would have taken about a billion tests per week, but the US certainly had the industrial capacity do it. The problem, IMO, was lack of state capacity. Even as the pandemic spread around the world, the FDA continued processing applications for PPE producers, vaccines and everything else at the same sluggish rate (of a 6+ months delay) that it had been.

Tyler Cowen spoke at length about this on various economics and other podcasts.

It's the same Department of Labor that does this:

The amount of inenffiencies and fraud is quite astonishing.
I read it as frustration that they had been warned over and over again and could have prevented this.
You missed my point.

These call centers are a problem.

One that requires cooperation between the US and India to resolve.
I'm sorry but suggesting Mark Rober is helping to stop the scamming industry in India is like helping Ukraine by adding sprinkles to a cupcake at an elementary school bake sale.
By contrast, in December, I had these time-sensitive calls from unknown numbers: airline lost luggage delivery, Amazon delivery who couldn't get in, my kids' doctors, my pharmacy, someone from my accountant's firm, a bank rep, and a few organizations returning my call. December was a typical month, if a bit slow.

In theory, I could get a voicemail and then follow-up, but that would result in significant time wasted for both sides (e.g., calling doctors again or setting up re-delivery), and the total time I spent on dealing with spam calls is ~1 minute (5-10 seconds x 5-10 occurrences).

Thank you. We turned down VC because we're concerned about the stranglehold they have on exit outcomes. I guess everything is negotiable, and I need to get better at communicating our concerns around control in a way that builds trust with investors. It's cool that you're open to having conversations like this. I imagine when you're publicly successful, you get inundated with people seeking help.
That is literally what I am describing.
if i remember my lore correctly it's not a distributed system. It was originally either a mainframe or like AS400 application. I want to say it was related to Saber somehow... maybe they leased it. When i interviewed there years ago they were porting it to some kind of Java stack or maybe they had already ported it and were building it out further. On a tangent, I have to admit, their interview was the best one i've ever had. Very competent people, well rounded process, it was actually more fun than stressful but super challenging too.

It's ridiculous to state that Elon praised Medvedev. Medvedev made some insane and absurd predictions for 2023 and Elon replied with "Epic thread!!". It was epic because how insane it was.

Elon clarified it later with "Those are definitely the most absurd predictions I’ve ever heard, while also showing astonishing lack of awareness of the progress of artificial intelligence and sustainable energy."
Honestly, the two are now incredibly close.

JAX introduced a lot of cool concepts (e.g. autobatching (vmap), autoparallel (pmap)) and supported a lot of things that PyTorch didn't (e.g. forward mode autodiff).

And at least for my applications (scientific computing), it was much faster (~100x) due to a much better JIT compiler and reduced Python overhead.

...but! PyTorch has worked hard to introduce all of the former, and the recent PyTorch 2 announcement was primarily about a better JIT compiler for PyTorch. (I don't think anyone has done serious non-ML benchmarks for this though, so it remains to be seen how this holds up.)

There are still a few differences. E.g. JAX has a better differential equation solving ecosystem. PyTorch has a better protein language model ecosystem. JAX offers some better power-user features like custom vmap rules. PyTorch probably has a lower barrier to entry.

(FWIW I don't know how either hold up specifically for DSP.)

I'd honestly suggest just trying both; always nice to have a broader selection of tools available.
> Every airline at every airport should have a certain number of crews and airplanes capable of providing service in place of a delayed flight.

Airline pax are probably not willing to pay for spare standby aircraft and flight and cabin crews at every airport every airline operates from.

Southwest’s original low-cost carrier business innovation was to run an all-737 fleet and make business-wide efforts to optimize for fast ground-turns, in order to get more flights out of each aircraft.
Edit: I was thinking of a totally different gift card scam. Whoops

Gift cards should require some amount of destruction in order to get to the actual barcode… something to make tampering obvious.
