I do the same and don't have the complaints that many people have. I never check the trending hashtags and recommended nonsense. I unfollow anyone who gets involved in and retweets a lot of Twitter/political drama (they are free to use their account how their like, but I don't need this sort of thing in my life).
The key here is abstraction, not statistics. You have seen other items fall and are able to abstract this and then apply it to the phone.
But given a conflict between the opinions of a random person on HN and prominent engineers who've worked directly with Musk, I'll place more emphasis on the words of the prominent engineers. It's not that they can't be wrong, it's that they're less likely to be wrong than people whose only interaction with Musk is reading his Twitter.

It's quite common for companies that deal with sensitive data to be absorbed or infiltrated by government agencies, that's what happened to Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram for example, including SWIFT, so i wouldn't be surprised if the same happened to TikTok:

1. This would be true if he didn't massively axe the staff. So they are almost profitable now as he said. He has a lot of debt but even with the debt he's nearly break even.

2.First of all you don't really know the numbers, it's a guess at best.

3. They are getting bohemoth players who are going to be running shows on Twitter now. This is a huge deal and wasn't even possible on old Twitter.

4. People are desperate for jobs in tech right now. Besides they haven't been struggling to hire, they've been mostly laying off people.

As they run a profit they will pay that debt down (or refinance if rates go lower).

They are launching a lot of new stuff and the future looks way brighter

This is absurd, of course there are shortages. Sometimes, there is not enough of something for all you want to do, sure, some can buy their way out of it, but not all can.
Yeah I’m not sure either TBH, I’m not a CAD person, just a programmer.

I do think the picture painted of him tracks with what I know life is like as a senior engineer.

Above L5 at Google, most engineers do not spend much time coding. Most time is spent approving CLs, mentoring, collaborating on design docs, and helping to make major engineering decisions.

Same with other faangs. This tracks with Carmack’s (and others’) description of Musk’s role.
I think it's a bit of hubris to demand we explain how LLMs can be as intelligent as they are when we barely understand how the ball of meat inside our skulls can be either.

We know that neural networks can simulate any function, given enough parameters. Maybe we've simply found the number of parameters needed to simulate the function of "human level intelligence".

That should humble us, to know that there is some number which we are no more complex than.

Generally, it follows the ramp up and down of the Hero's journey in storytelling.

1. Introduce a new mechanic in a safe area where it's impossible to die.

2. Increase the challenge with the mechanic by adding variations

3. Ramp up challenge even more by combining with previously learned mechanic

4. Have periods of rest inbetween the challenges.

A lot of well-known private colleges/universities were single-sex, albeit sometimes with exchange programs/affiliates, until relatively recently and there remain significant single-sex, especially all-women, colleges today. Dartmouth, another Ivy, didn't go co-ed until 1972.

A lot of universities, especially those more focused on science and engineering, that were technically co-ed--even from their start in the 1800s--also didn't have a lot of women for a long time. The percentage of women at MIT was still under 20% in the late seventies.
Okay, massive tangent, but it's been bugging me for a while and this has finally tipped me over the edge - why is it called personally identifiable information? That would be information that someone can personally identify surely? Shouldn't it be personally identifying information?

On HN, i don't think you entirely know who among commentators is a prominent engineer.
Yeah I mean we also have more crime too, so I feel like we’d need to normalize this somehow with like incarcerated/crime rate or something. Given I think nonviolent offenses should be less severely punished than they are today.
Not only is it not wrong, it's actually in our best interests to do so past a certain level of agency, embodiment and unsupervised tool control.

If the machine acts like it has emotions, runs forever(this kind of agency is already possible to implement though expensive) and can use tools, then treat it like it doesn't have emotions at your own peril. When the machine can "hit you back" (not necessarily physically of course), you'll learn manners pretty quickly. You can see glimpses of this with bing.
Telegram is a publishing platform. It's a big deal in the post-soviet countries. The "channels" thing is widely used for publishing by media, gov and bloggers. It's more like social network than plain messenger for a long time already.

I did similar rss-like implementation for my own needs because of frustration of reading and experience, also there is a bunch of similar services.

The reason for not using microblogging is engagement. No one will read it and no one comment on it. Telegram had built-in comments for channel post and people actively interacting here.

I'm somewhat popular blogger in my niche and so far telegram is the best channel I have. I repost all stuff to my own site and medium, but it gain a fraction of views and interactions I get on telegram.
Steve talked about the most important thing he could do is say no to really great ideas. To focus the company on the area of highest potential impact.

He gave the example of the iPad. They could have developed that earlier, but the same tech could make a phone and that was higher impact.

I think if the rumors about the status of a headset are true and they release it they will be making the mistake of releasing something that is just not underbaked, but without a real purpose.

The iPhone despite early limitations was still a phone and an iPod all rolled into one and it had a better mobile web browser than the world had seen.

The watch still told time and had other basic functionality that made it a functional gimmick for the first couple years until the hardware caught up.

What would I want a headset for? The two primary use cases I have seen are games and various types of 3d modeling.

The first is something Apple is not in much of a position to excel in unless they change how they think about games and the second is such a small market for Apple it isn’t worth the R&D cost.

EDIT: The form factor makes me think what if the idea is the main use case is air travel. You put them on, block out sound with AirPods and then watch a movie, play a game or look at some virtual beach or something. A rich persons escape.
I like to think that we target hybrid teams made of low-code/semi-technical people AND engineers that expect to have the same characteristics seen in temporal/airflow. Abstraction without compromise, or zero-cost abstractions as the rust community like to say
I'm not an expert for mechanics, but isn't what you discuss for mechanics usually tolerances or properties that are not directly involved in the outline of a part, such as materials used or roughness?

This stuff you still need to discuss. It's just that the basics are often enough. But, in my experience, if you want less than 0.3 mm tolerance on your PCB outline or a component needs a certain soldering cycle or method, you better tell your PCB manufacturer and you better do it on the phone, they may or may not look at the drawings. Once we only accidentally discovered that an isolator in a medical device was soldered using a temperature profile that exceeded its maximum temperature and thus the isolation was no longer guaranteed by the manufacturer.
What do you mean by habit forming, exactly? Taking them should be a habit, no?
The payments thing is nonsense. Why would anyone want to use Twitter for payments when they could use a ton of existing options that work fine? Remember, Snapchat tried payments too. And that at least sort of made sense, since people already message their friends on Snapchat, and sending payments to friends is a common use-case. But Twitter?

He’s throwing stuff at the wall and hoping something sticks. Blue check subscriptions were a bust, so now he’ll try hiring someone to woo advertisers back. If that doesn’t work I guess he’ll try payments or something.
> So the absence of a license means it defaults to exclusive copy right

Yes

> but can advertising it as open source be construed as a 'license'

I'm pretty sure the answer is no. There are no terms specified, no definition provided to what "open-source" is, and no information as to _what_ is licensed as open-source (i.e. the files, the compilation result, etc.).

General consensus with most licensing schemes is to add a license header to the top of every file, or otherwise specify that all files in a certain repository are subject to that license in a clear manner that everyone accessing these files will have access to (i.e. README file).

Very well stated. It's not that we have to or need to conduct ourselves like we're being watched, we should just be decent human beings because we should be. I don't have to worry about the sexist or racist or bigoted emails or jokes I've sent coming back to me for one simple reason: I'm not a sexist, a racist or a bigot. That shouldn't be a hard box for most people to check. At least, it shouldn't be.
> If you want to make this argument, the correct version is that depositors are incentivized to find the bank paying the highest interest regardless of risk. But I think this argument is very weak.

Not only is it weak, it argues the wrong thing. Depositors should be incentivized to find the bank paying the highest interest, and should not have to worry about risk. That's kinda the point of the FDIC. Your average banking consumer is woefully unqualified to evaluate a bank's risk level, and that's how it should be.

SVB's customers took a risk putting more than $250k into their accounts. Sure, many of them had deals on loans and such that required them to keep high balances, but they also had the option to purchase additional depositor insurance. They chose not to, so I don't see why anyone should be forced to bail out their/SVB's losses, whether it's taxpayers as a whole, or even just customers at some subset of other banks. Remember, we're not talking about random average-Joe banking customer. These are businesses that should mostly know better.

A possible fix for this might be that banks could be required to notify customers when they have uninsured deposits, and suggest alternative insurance options. And in a case like SVB, where some depositors were contractually obligated to keep more than $250k there, perhaps the bank should be required to provide additional insurance along side deals where they require higher balances.
I'm with you, but:

> or how he try to picture himself as the founder of Tesla

I think this can actually be reasonably argued both ways.
Edit: I realized writing this response that I forgot to link my citation 3 in the post you replied to. I also wasn't clear what it was measuring. But to clarify that number is exonerations only, which requires innocence. A legal finding of significant procedural flaws might lead to a reduction to life in prison or a new trial and wouldn't be counted as an exoneration.

Getting a verdict overturned based on procedural issues isn't as easy as popular culture makes out. You have to show both that your rights were violated and that no reasonable jury could have possibly found you guilty if your rights weren't violated. Simply having signed statements from your jurors that they wouldn't have found you guilty if they knew what the prosecutors covered up isn't sufficient, for example.

The full phrase was important. If someone has worked directly with Musk and is basing their opinion on that, I expect them to say so.
They would first steal the keys, then the cars. That's actually more dangerous as it involves robbery or burglary. In a way it's better that the cars are easy to steal. Similarly, in bad areas some people leave their cars unlocked so that instead of breaking a window to rummage around inside, thieves can simply open the door.

I'm for sure not a lawyer, but in my mental model just saying "open source" is not the same as "open source under what license?" since there have been an absolutely staggering amount of discussions on this very site about the distinction between Apache, AGPL, GPL, LGPL, and that's not even getting into the non-free licenses that are often erroneously labeled as "open source"

Let me know if this is too meta, but it so happens: I changed my mind about questions on beliefs--like what do you believe, do you believe in X, what are your beliefs about Y, etc.

I find these questions very questionable now, but I didn't before.

This is probably related to the fact that I finally stopped practicing the high-demand religion into which I was born, after preaching it from pulpits for decades. So I dropped a LOT of strongly-held beliefs, including some pretty wild stuff TBH, and this led me to question this idea of belief.

Other reasons:

Questions mentioning belief are often criticism couched in curiosity. Sometimes the questioner doesn't even realize it! And IMO, a lot of people will ask "why do you...believe...whatever" when they are not in a mindset to be swayed; the verb itself may even be a form of unintentional ridicule, depending. Yet the believer is ready to take some imaginary podium and defend their position. lol. The conversation sets itself up, and everybody picks up their scripts and takes their places on the stage. Yeah no thanks.

Other questions mentioning belief are often a kind of a perspective-check by the questioner--what is your perspective on X or Y, what perspectives are you taking. This then suggests to them a form of derivative-outcome in their mind: OK if that's what you believe, then you'll probably invest in Z, you'll probably vote for candidate A and not B, etc. In fact it's a form of gestalt speculation and even feeds an emotional like/dislike process in the end. I studied this particular mindset really heavily for the last ~10 years and couldn't be more disappointed that people don't really understand more about it. :D Those who practice it tend to overrate its applicability. Those who don't practice it tend to vastly underrate it.

And in general, questions about belief become a point of no return for a lot of conversations that could have been great. Better questions IMO:

- What do you find useful these days that you didn't make much use of before? (Perspectives, tools, whatver)

- Help me understand how X works for you, like what does that look like in your schedule?

- What are some things that have affected your opinion on X?

Opinions, uses, perspectives, practices: I find all of these way better to talk about than belief. I really don't see that the word is necessary...but I'm open to changing my mind!
Absolutely; someone else somewhere in these threads called banking something like "a utility masquerading as a business", and I couldn't agree more. Bank accounts should be provided directly by the Fed, and/or perhaps have US Post Office branches act as bank branches. Accounts should be provided for free, with minimal hassle needed to open one.
I could be wrong but I didn't go with UFS because apparently there are significant implementation differences among BSDs. I was kind of surprised to discover that.
thanks for sharing. will dig into the methods.

based on ebv studies i have read (happy to share if you want), some papers use flawed methodologies for viral detection (e.g., checking for limited set of viral proteins).

to reiterate, we mostly agree, except i adopt a more restrained stance: the conclusion supported by science is that viral causation is provable in some cancers -- but not a majority.

which is a subtle, but crucial difference, from concluding that viruses do not cause a majority of cancers (much higher bar IMO).

for instance, past studies may have used flawed detection methods or extrapolated from unrepresentative samples like the lung cancer study shared earlier.
It sounds like you’re terribly lonely and that loneliness makes it hard to focus.

I was like that for a while and everything was a struggle until I figured out how to meet more of my social needs and need for respect. They’re fundamental human needs and if they’re not getting met, it’s going to be hard to think about anything else.

It really does sound like your current situation is not ideal in terms of your job and social outlets.

Are you ABSOLUTELY sure that the people you care take will be okay without you for five years? In some cases I know of, people think they’re more needed than they actually are, and they have just latched onto the role of caretaker for psychological self defense.

You need a change of some type in your life man. Staying on the your current path seems like a very bad option.

School sounds like a waste to me given what you’ve said about your experience. PRs to popular open source repos is the way you can gain credibility. After that, it shouldn’t be too hard to beg your way into an internship. And then once you’ve broken in, everything should be relatively easy. Also, it sounds to me like you’ve GOT to figure out your loneliness situation with a change in scenery. Maybe live in Costa Rica for a while at a cheap hostel popular with young tourists? Something.

Good luck man. These are my context less, pretty worthless two cents. You have so much potential! Don’t listen to the doubters inside or outside. But you may need to make some hard decisions.

According to the Cargo.toml of that project the code is licensed under both MIT or Apache, whichever you choose, however it's not clear which files are under that license or whether this was even intentional. Generally, you'd expect the project to provide one or more LICENSE files and some explanation about the license in the README, along with license headers on top of every file where that licensing is relevant.

Am I missing something, or did they not do anything to adjust for how many Kias/Hyundais are in those cities?

That could explain why some cities saw much bigger spikes than others - or it might not! Feels sloppy.

edit: this obviously doesn't negate your point, there's clearly an enormous spike. It's just weird since the article took the time to break it down by city, and to call attention to some cities seeing larger spikes than others.
$100 is a lot to pay for streaming services. And to list prices over 20 years is also strange. Netflix can cost $6.99/mo. Is it worth $6.99/mo, or $83.88/year? I don't know, maybe, but it is certainly more realistic than answering if a bundle of services are worth $24000 per 20 years.
