So my theory right now is that the people who need to push back against him have little leverage externally to use.

At spaceX, if an idea is stupid the engineers can say that the Government won't allow that, or something similar(ie laws of physics). It creates an external "No", so it's not the engineers fault and they get to continue working on what will work.

Similarly at Tesla, it's sometimes simple to say that it's against the law to make that change, but there are less regulations so more stupid stuff gets put in(for me it's the ues of the screen for so much, if it were legal he would have the turn signal controls on that screen).

At twitter/X there are basically no regulations, you cannot say that something stupid is not allowed, because there are no rules. He does not allow people to say "No" in his circle.

He found success in Tesla and SpaceX because people are empowered at some level to say No. At twitter/X, they are not.

I see a lot of parallels between astrology and sports fandom. Sports team affiliation is pretty arbitrary and often based on where someone was born (which is out of their control). There's tons of lore, stereotypes, compatibilities, and rivalries between various teams (which is largely artificial). Sports fans care deeply about things that ultimately have little impact on their lives (does is really matter who wins the super bowl?). And of course, sports are a common interest for people to discuss and bond over.

I'm not into astrology, but I'm not judgemental of it either. To me, asking if someone "believes" in astrology would be like someone asking me if I "believe" in the sports teams I follow -- it's not the right question to ask.
The result of trying to strip ourselves of tradition no doubt. Astrology is a joke.

I think he's come to peace with the fact that he paid $44 billion for an unprofitable messaging platform and he's not going to be turning it around. He's now giving up on the concept of short-form pub/sub text messaging and instead hoping he can just capture those millions of logins for a completely unrelated platform (i.e. some hazy crypto payment stuff). This is a web property that for whatever reason, he was never able to build himself.

> [LLMs] never consider or evaluate "the paper cited for this fact on wikipedia is a bunch of bullshit".

Nor do people, though! This is setting the bar way too high.

The whole point to having edited reference sources like "encyclopedias" is that so that we can rely on the expertise of the editors in lieu of having to develop the expertise ourselves[1].

No, an LLM that simply knows a priori (via prompt hacking) which sources are trustworthy would be absolutely comparable to the way an educated-but-non-expert human approaches sources.

[1] Which is a chicken and egg problem anyway. Everyone starts with edited reference sources as tutorial material. Quite frankly everyone starts learning with wikipedia.

I've never used or even seen a mainframe in 26 years in the tech industry. My brother in law works for a bank and basically the business runs on it.

The hardware and software are certainly impressive but does anyone use a mainframe for a new project and not just upgrading or expanding an existing system?

I'm in integrated circuit design and we have compute clusters with thousands of CPUs. For some jobs we use a single machine with 128 CPUs and over 2TB RAM. Some steps get split over 30 machines in parallel. All of this EDA / chip design software migrated from Sun and HP workstations in the 1980's and 90's to Linux x86 in the 2000's. I think some of it ran on mainframes in the 70's but does anyone use mainframes for scientific style calculations or is it just financial transaction / database kind of stuff?
So how do we call tweets now? I nominate "eXcrements".

Oh, just noticed I'd written "with ARM" when I meant to write Intel when talking about Apple being beholden. Fixed.

My understanding is Apple has an architectural license, broader than what some other licensees have, and it permits them to make architectural changes that people without that license cannot. And while I don't know the current business terms of this, I would speculate that by them being part of the original joint venture that created ARM in the first place they have at least some remaining better pricing on that than others would?

In any case, correct me if I'm wrong on that... but there's also the fact that by controlling the whole software stack Apple is also able to initiate changes that would be difficult for any other hardware vendor.
Right. It's not "free speech absolutism" to let a dictator push you around with what speech your very principled platform puts on, is it?

Twitter used to fight those, as I mentioned. And won a lot of them. Again: what of Musk? Surely it's not just an act and he's a simp for dictators.

Do you think your phone keyboard's predictive text should be taught ethics? How? LLMs are just predictive text scaled way up: they don't know or think anything, they just predict the next word repeatedly. They can't learn ethics, but can learn to string words together into sentences about ethics, again just by predicting the next word.
To add some recent gems:

* everyone's DM settings got changed to only allow DMs from blue checkmarks/Musk sycophants

* There are now rate limits on DMs unless you pay for the checkmark

These changes of course are justified with spam reduction. IMO the best spam reduction would be to allow me to hide all tweets from people who pay for a checkmark and didn't have one pre-Musk

These mythical Toyota batteries can supposedly run 10 minute stops every 700 miles. That's already way beyond what any normal person could handle.

I'm comfortable doing long distances in one day and even I would be taking 20+ minute breaks every 300km (200mi) or so. The current state-of-the-art long range EVs are plenty good enough with range and charging speeds, assuming a reliable charging network.
I'm not saying such a thing isn't status quo, but simply that, if TSMC wishes to be perceived as "competitive", then an exceedingly easy way to that is to buck the status quo by listing their salary ranges - a competitive action. It seems disingenuous that they would prefer to have it both ways, to cry that they are struggling to attract/keep employees in those positions, yet choose not compete with other companies in that area, by listing information they aren't required to supply.

It just seems like that classic quote, "We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas." That is what makes it a bad sign - they're excited to complain, but (apparently?) completely incompetent when it comes to fixing the problem they're in.
Do personality tests see regular use in hiring and promotion? What are some examples of that?

* Old 1970s/80s retail plotters (i.e. HP). These are sometimes more trouble than they're worth, both mechanically for repairs and software-wise. Serial port versions are more rare than HP-IB versions. The drawingbots Discord has good vintage info here

I have no dog in this fight but the precise breakdown of population doesn’t decide an enthnostate. It’s about who does and does not have power and what they do with it. Take the “nation-state” law passed in 2018:

https://www.vox.com/world/2018/7/31/17623978/israel-jewish-n...

> The law does three big things:

> It states that “the right to exercise national self-determination” in Israel is “unique to the Jewish people.”

> It establishes Hebrew as Israel’s official language, and downgrades Arabic — a language widely spoken by Arab Israelis — to a “special status.”

> It establishes “Jewish settlement as a national value” and mandates that the state “will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development.”

I don’t know enough to know the precise qualification for an ethnostate vs not but that first item clearly indicates that Israel is at minimum a country legally stratified by ethnicity.
You're certainly correct that everyone has beliefs beyond rationality. The notion of "live and let live" is less reasonable when it involves controversial topics such as how induced abortions or rapes are treated. A multitude of moralities can lead to people feeling like they just can't live their lives without ensuring the "other" won't quash them. Maybe they're right on a given case, or maybe they're wrong. There's conflict all the same.
