To incentivize creative people to be productive even in their late years. Since I can only talk from my point of view; at least I would be a bit more apprehensive continuing to write and create if I knew I didn't have much time left.

I don't see why it wouldn't be reasonable for the inheritors of a author to benefit for a little while for their parent's work. 10 years feels very reasonable.
Musk is too closely associated with the Tesla brand. The things the "Technoking" of Tesla does to make himself look bad also makes Tesla look bad.

That's the practical reality of it whether you like it or not.
The most upvoted posts are either “oh this person is a god” or “this person just spouts lies”

I think a large part of the valuation was also the promise of full self driving. Musk repeatedly stated that it would coming "very soon" and Tesla would have been the first worldwide with that.

Now we know that Tesla will probably not be the first with level 5 autonomy and that their no-lidar approach may not even be sufficient at all.

But the belief in their FSD was priced into Tesla's valuation as well and by now it's clear that this part was overvalued.
Good question. For my birthday, my SO took me to a fancy sushi place. It was my first time experiencing such a high quality food. I believe sushi is one of those foods where you can actually tell the difference based on the quality of ingredients used. Money well spent.
I don't think so, many people have a wide array of skills and interests, but none of them is business related.

Are they being taken advantage of?
Sure, most people are being taken advantage of, that's the system we live in, it's called capitalism.
But in rich countries that often still leaves enough to have a good life.
The solution to that is simple: Enforce an exact reconstruction to be paid by the owner in case of destruction of the original for protected-status buildings. That's usually more expensive than keeping the old building viable.

Yes. Still 10 years isn't even all that long and I think it is much more important that author hold copyright all of their life. You could probably talk me out of the 10 year extension to works made just before author died, but I don't think you can make persuasive argument why I shouldn't by default hold copyright to my creations while I am alive.
Me along with many others criticizing Elon Musk for about a decade but no one paid attention until things have become dire.

How all masses including journalists missed this is beyond me
It sure didn't help.
probably the difference is we have systems in place. religion and other social structures. as systems go so can machines have systems but is less interpretive for better or worse.
In a lot of ways it feels like this finale was already written.

This bubble birthed and featured Cathie and Saylor (again) to a large degree, but the real star was Elon.

There's always too much poetry in these cycles for him not to fall apart on the way back down.
Or maybe people just like to improve on the tools that they use every single day?

> Tesla's latest production cuts at Shanghai come amid a rising wave of infections after China stepped back from its zero-COVID policy earlier this month.

Theories say that this will only get worse after the Chinese New Year in the end of January.

People will slowly get infected with different strains of COVID from now until then. Then close to a billion people will travel long distances back home to their families, exchanging COVID strains on the way.

I consider it a miracle if the global supply chain originating from China isn't completely paralysed due to lack of workers come February.

Right that’s the point of my original post. I see lots of people trying to understand how QM “works” when it’s just a thing that’s works the way it does. I have never seen anyone trying to understand how light moves in a vacuum, which (at least to me) seems just as mysterious if you were to try and understand it in some sort of intuitive macro physical sense.
It's not a statement on how much he has to do with the achievements. It's a just one example of how the man lies almost constantly, and nothing he says can be trusted or relied upon.

Another great example would be the "$35k" Tesla, which existed only on paper for years, then was very difficult to order, then was pulled.

The main question at this point is despite the similarity, we can't call it "greenwashing", and "whitewashing" is kind of already taken. Maybe "graywashing"?

FWIW, until a few months ago, my next car was absolutely going to be a Tesla. I can't bring myself to buy one now.

I'm still committed to getting an electric car as my next purchase and am slightly disappointed to take the Model 3 off the table but there are good options if you don't mind waiting.

That isn't a brand, it is a cult. Tesla's are not even that good of cars. They feel really cheap.
> Going down 70% might be normal or not normal. It is difficult to say without considering a relevant context like being extremely overvalued like 1y ago. For example, PayPal and Square are down 64% ytd. Is it because their CEOs go mental on social media too?

No, but it means there are firm-specific factors driving their value down faster than their benchmarks. We can’t answer why it’s happening. But we can say it’s abnormal.

1/ invest in relationship with your body. get a good exercise routine + nutrition + sleep. Exercise hard.

2/ see a therapist / psychologist / coach. it is amazing what a difference having someone to talk to can do to help reframe perspective

3/ find/start/rekindle a hobby that interests you and you kinda suck at. go deep down the rabbit hole and enjoy the experience of improving at it quickly

4/ invest in your mind; hope this doesn't come across as hippy-woo-woo but yoga and meditation. Sam Harris' app "Waking Up" goes deep on theory & practice. Yoga is such a fun/challenging form of exerise. Sounds like you can afford an at-home instructor :)

5/ journal! getting thoughts out of your mind onto paper helps to work through thoughts & feelings. a useful prompt a) how am I feeling? b) how do i want to feel? c) what will it take to get there. keep iterating on this (both in micro sense of day-to-day, and macro of finding your next passion.

Good luck <3
> Let me see those downvotes on this shadow banned account, folks. Don't wear out your index fingers.

Why do people do this? State your point, don't preemptively whine about the reaction.
Sublime has, I think, a relatively loyal user base that have gotten comfortable there and don’t really have much of a reason to leave unless for a big IDE for specific projects. The plug-in ecosystem, while clearly aged, still has activity and new developments including adapting the new LSP stuff pretty well, and has some damn committed authors/maintainers.

I’ve been a comfortable user for a while now and enjoy knowing how to use my tool well enough to casually customise it.

That being said, I think you’re right. I’ve got my eyes on trying out the new developments in open source editors. This one is new to me

It seems like with LSP and tree-sitter, a critical mass of foundational infrastructure is now just available for everyone so that new development and innovation can focus on the interface and design. Not sure how much space that leaves for sublime.

Tree sitter came up in the sublime community forum recently and there was a hard “not gonna happen” from the developer team on the suggestion of any form of integration. From what I can tell, the sublime syntax engine is either lacking or the applications of it aren’t taking full advantage of it compared to tree sitter. And syntax awareness seems like an increasingly valuable tool in my hacking of my text editor. So yea, interesting time for text editors… who woulda thought for 2023.
I’m not sure what others believe. But I bet that right before you die, it feels like you are running towards a light at the end of a tunnel. But for each step you take, you shrink by half. Making a moment feel like an eternity.

I understand the difference in UX but I'm really not concerned with that. The code itself is all open source for the VSCode client and will probably remain that way. Extensions like Pylance are replaceable and the Python extension can already just use Jedi instead. Also I'm sorry but that article is really terrible in terms of both content and layout. In terms of content, its only real argument is the .Net fiasco and some issue with Gitpod that really doesn't matter. In terms of content, the page is utterly unreadable

I'm perfectly aware of what Microsoft could do in some distant future. But as is, for all intents and purposes, VSCode is open source
I know, right? Peter Thiel is so much more enlightened, with his philosophy and law degrees. Or Zuckerberg with his deep interest in psychology and fluency in Latin and devotion to the Stoics.

You read two pages and a Wikipedia article. Come on.
I may be in a similar boat minus the successes. There is a finite amount of time left in which to do a relatively small number of things from a much larger set of possibilities. Which, if any, are worthwhile? All the best in finding your next move.
The company is wildly undervalued.

Their products have abysmal initial quality, durability, and reliability.

Their parts/service/bodywork repair/support network sucks. The cars are ludicrously expensive to repair because Musk is using insurance company payouts to subsidize his company.

They've lost almost every advantage they had. Their cars aren't the fastest in acceleration, don't have the most range, don't have the best efficiency, aren't the fastest charging, etc.

GM, Ford, and Volkswagen are gunning for Tesla and Tesla doesn't stand a chance.
Somehow I think that most of the people that were into that back then are now posting from Georgia, Belgrade or Kazakhstan, if not them, then their kids. That was my point, leaders like Putin don't focus on the thin layer of the Westernised middle class.
You don't need to tear lots of stuff down to build public transit: you just have to dig tunnels. It's not that hard. The only place where you need to really tear stuff down is at the stations, and even here much of it can be done under existing structures. This has been done in America before: DC's subway system was built mostly in the 1970s.

You trust big companies too much, they make mistakes all the time.
Seems like you finished the main quest line and now you get to work on side missions or just explore the world.

Why do you think going back to who you were is good? You are a very different person in very different circumstances. Perhaps focusing on who you are right now and not chasing the person you used to be would give you some inner peace.

If I were you I would learn about art, move to a different country, and learn a new language. Just enjoy the open world, devs made a pretty good job creating it.
Oh yeah, good point, maybe something like "the biggest fallacy in predicting the future is to confuse an s curve with an exponential"
I doubt it, but even if it did you probably don't want to be re-training the set on your mac. There is plenty of instructions on how to train your face into the dataset using AWS. IIRC it costs around $20 of compute time.
The man did promise FSD was one year away for each of the last 9 years. At some point it becomes a 'fool me 9 times shame on... fool me can't get fooled again' kinda deal. [1] It's just too bad the video montage got struck down. It takes a genuine showman to string people along for an entire decade.

[edit1] All while getting them to pay up to $12,000 for software that didn't exist and had no path to existing within the promised timeframe.

Textbooks will be written about this bezzle.

[edit2] > Bezzle: Alone among the various forms of larceny [embezzlement] has a time parameter. Weeks, months or years may elapse between the commission of the crime and its discovery. (This is a period, incidentally, when the embezzler has his gain and the man who has been embezzled, oddly enough, feels no loss. There is a net increase in psychic wealth.) At any given time there exists an inventory of undiscovered embezzlement in—or more precisely not in—the country’s business and banks. [2]

Not suggesting a crime occurred here, to be clear - just the broad shape of what transpired re: FSD rhymes real good.

> passive-aggressive towards minorities like immigrants and LGBT people

Are you kidding? he's legitimately full on aggressive to them with his tweets and retweets. the entire cruelty about pronouns is so baseless it's almost unimaginable. say you were born larry but you didn't like that name so you decided james fit you better so you ask people to call you james. that's it. I don't want to be called larry so call me james because that fits my internal idea of myself more. it's easy just call people what they want to be called. you can call them whatever you want but you're an asshole if you are calling them a different name than what they want to be called and have asked you to. and this isn't even "they are going to ostracize me if i mess it up once" kinda thing... they are aware that people get it wrong just like people getting your name wrong. this is about being deliberately cruel to people you don't think matter. it's absurd.
> literally upending all the bullshit from progressives on Twitter

Until those cheering him on start buying Teslas, this looks like a stupid move. Elon was bipartisan. Hell, he was so Teflon he could navigate between America and China. He threw that all away for what?
I can never keep it straight: Is he a grifter business guy with no real influence on the success of Tesla, or the "Technoking" of the company, as you (admittedly amusingly) put it?

It's not Musk who politicized Tesla. It's our culture that's so overtly politicized that the man can't have a single eccentric, interesting, or contrarian opinion while being the CEO of Tesla, without people seeking to punish the company over it out of spite.
Well, Wall-E's skyscape seems really quick coming to the reality. Not long after it might not be easy to enjoy a view of the night sky in the backyard.

INTJs are very seldom. ~2% of the general population.

But whether INTJs map well to what was described as "wildcard" I'm not sure. It was more of a ISTP or ESTP type, I guess.

Not really conflating. The original question just seems stupid/meaningless and it’s meta fascinating that people apparently attach something to it.

Things look different. Some things look better than others. Among the things that look best are flowers. There’s nothing else particularly interesting about flowers.

Among all the various things in the universe, some will look good and others will look bad. Or they’d all look the same, I guess, which they don’t. So given that, flowers looking good is not something that requires an explanation?

What other questions are like this? I’m trying to figure out what perspective I’m not seeing.

- why is the Pacific the largest ocean?
- why is X star the brightest in the sky?
- why do dogs bark?

Suppose I a few dice, and one of them happens to show the highest number. Would you ask “why is this dice so high?”
IDK why this surprises anyone. I applied to expand my HELOC last month with my credit union.

TransUnion sold my info to every mortgage company out there and I guarantee you I got 100+ calls and text messages from companies I've never heard of asking me to apply with them.

They just sell any and all of our data over and over again.

Can't opt out and can't stop it. 100s of calls to my cell phone.
While it's notable that you could run Netscape on 8GB of RAM in 1996 (for the whole system), it's even more impressive that the minimum requirements for Firefox have remained at 512MB since 2010 (until at least 2019, the time article was written).

However, browsers are not a great benchmark either: they are practically virtual machines running unsafe apps (web sites), and what (and how many simultaneously) sites they can run is limited by how much resources you have.

How'd they get the separate feuding factions to agree about which miracles happened and in what order? You still have to have some kind of coordination if you want to avoid the miracles actually having happened.
This is a very valid issue, and a fairly common one: huge change in personal and professional circumstances, new phase in life too. You're very lucky both environments are very positive, you're not hurting for love/companionship nor for money.

Still you've got to start building the next phase and it can be hard, both because what you want has evolved, and because what you want no longer is the only objective to take into account: the wife and maybe kids also have a voice, directly or indirectly as an impact on your own priorities.

This is a complex, ongoing challenge that won't be solved by one, or a hundred, HN comments. So the most important thing is to start and maintain discussions about it, with yourself (set aside quiet times, start a journal...), and with your wife, and with trusted friends/family, and probably indeed with a therapist - don't be shy about shopping around until you find one you gel with.

Volunteering or working in a job with an altruistic impact can be it for some. Or more professional / financial progression. Or free time for family / hobbies. Or a relaxed work atmosphere (or on the contrary stress)... If you feel stressed/depressed, a pet is both a relaxing distraction and an unconditional source of love (esp. dogs birds and horses, cats are iffy !).

Don't be afraid of a temporary void, but don't wallow in it either.
>They are all so terrible by comparison when it comes to range and charging infra

Come again? There are at least ten non-Tesla EVs that have a rated range of 300+ miles, and DC fast charging is everywhere. Look on PlugShare and filter out Tesla connectors.

Tesla is not the only game in town. And I say that as someone who recently bought a Model S Plaid.
Wait until you find out the history of Audi (and its parent company VW)
Well, not quite. You'd actually have an infinity of worlds with the cardinality of real numbers. So it would never increase or decrease, in the same way as there are as many numbers between 0 and 1 as numbers between 0 and 2.
I relate to this with my ADHD as well. I work for a certain cloud provider, and made my name by ambulance chasing both on my team and company-wide for interesting problems. Turned debugging complex networking/systems/security/etc. issues, regardless of my day to day role, into my “specialization”. My actual role is still as a software engineer on a team in the networking domain, so it works nicely. Over the years has been a challenge to balance ad-hoc engagements with work/life balance, but last couple years I’ve figured it out nicely.
Many people who I met while writing this article told me they don’t want the full blown responsibilities of being a founder. They just like doing lots of different things. But ultimately, you’re right.
Perhaps volunteering will help, for example at your local food bank or church. If you’re actively helping people the worst that could happen is putting a smile on their faces.
Netflix is down 53% ytd. amzn is down 51%.

Unlike some other companies, Tesla was significantly overvalued to begin with. i think even elon joked as much himself. they never an energy/battery company first and they dont know how to fit and finish. none of this regressed in the last year.
