I finished reading the Elon Musk biography by Walter Isaacson, and, for all his faults, Musk really knows how to get shit done. I was constantly amazed by his ability to strip a process to its essentials before embarking on its construction. SpaceX single-handedly* brought down the cost of space flight by using off-the-shelf and custom-created-from-metal components, where they only had to pay for the raw cost rather than the markups by others (the "idiot tax" as mentioned in the biography).

Generally, I simply don't give a shit about what a founder says, I have a Toyota in addition to a Tesla, and I don't care what the CEO of Toyota says at all, so I always find it puzzling when people talk about their dislike of Musk in particular, as if that should matter when buying their products.

That's just not how I view it. Here's the rule. Check if the garbage needs to go out every afternoon. Absolutely fine. Vs remember if this matters -> torture! I can work 100% of the time to make sure the clearly set out objectives are met without complaint. Once it becomes subjective, I would rather not be involved.
This really seems to have worked out kind of OK on one hand, although sometimes I wish that the public had more ownership of the technology that we funded.
> Terrible case but how is $261 million dollars a valid amount for anything.

You determine how much money the defendant has and devise an amount that will actually matter to them.

>How do you even get to an astronomical figure like that when even the people that caused the financial crises of 2008 got charged a fraction of that.

Completely irrelevant.
That's... a lot of ads to wade through before you get to a picture of the actual tank-drill-contraption
> Things are priced at the point that one would pay.

No, things are priced at the point that the market, as a whole, is willing to pay. If you're someone with an above-median income, you're usually paying less than you otherwise would.

Most purchases you make don't start with the merchant checking how much money you have in your savings account.
It is important to note that many mummies were ground up and either eaten or turned into pigment ("mummy brown"). There is an interesting video I saw recently of people mummifying a chicken according to ancient processes and eating it* [0].

It would make it harder for them to impersonate their users and read all their mail. I would still be concerned that they want to run a rainbow table attack against it though. They should not steal user credentials at all, because it is simply not necessary for a functioning email client.

After seeing it in a larger context like that, I'm even more in agreement with OP. The weirdly random letter alignment screws with my brain much more than I thought from just the localized examples in the topic link.

I'll stick to the consistent design for a slightly less aesthetic experience for that reason alone.
By "one," I meant the market, of course. It is a generic term, not a specific one.

AI is clearly the hottest field right now.

Are there any other fields where a high fraction of the high impact papers (perspective or otherwise) are coming from industry rather than academia?
It might be a stylistic choice, and an Office Space meme, but I tend to prefer issuing certain kinds of instruction in a vulnerable way. So for example "Hey X, I need you to take out the trash." But tone is a little important since if you sound insincere it comes across as condescending.

I'm using ChatGPT 4 (paid) and it has solved a few problems for me. (it sounds like you're using the free 3.5 and also having some pretty unrealistic expectations of ChatGPT like asking for a full implementation of a WAM)

A mundane one: I have a list of lat-longs mapped to region codes, and I needed write a query to find the area of the convex hull of each region code. I knew how to do it in code, but I wanted a SQL answer. ChatGPT gave me the correct Redshift SQL.

A more involved one: I needed to maximize match x people y groups, where people can rank their choices up to 3, but as soon as they accept the match, they drop out of the pool. Plus a bunch of different constraints. Sounds like a stable marriage problem. ChatGPT proposed the Gale-Shapley algorithm, which was the exact one I was looking for.
> Intel recently released a new generation of chips with significantly improved performance per watt that doesn't have much better absolute performance than the previous generation.

When was this published? I can't see a date. The Intel reference seems old, this stuff is still relevant today though.

Also no mention of all those GPUs used for AI LLMs of late.
I don't believe for a bit that in a relatively densely populated suburban area there are no independent shops, it violates the fundamental presumption of capitalism which is that there's always an entrepreneur looking to make money out of dry stone.

My observation is that literally where there's 10 people, the 11'th one will try to sell them something. Hamlets of 100 houses have 2 grocery stores, 3 bars and a slot machine parlor.

I also live in a suburban area in Europe and there's shops everywhere. Noone "planned them", it's just the observation above. And yeah, house prices went through the roof also, probably went up everywhere where there's no war or famine going on regularly.

The thing I hate most about housing are traffic jams. The more they build and cram more "affordable housing", the worse the nightmare of getting anywhere becomes. Coze at some point you know, you'll need something that's just not within "walking distance" and then you're funked.
Less friendly how? I think you are confusing size with development pattern. A smaller community will always be more friendly than a larger one. The problem with suburbs is when they are forced on a community that has outgrown them.
This. A thousand times this.

Even for just US itself, the Spaceship program might well have a chance to prove to be as existentially important as the Bikini Atoll tests (if we consider that it increased the believability of MAD and prevented nuclear holocaust).

If not that, it will likely still make US have an incredible lead in mass to orbit capability which might lead to dibs on, well, whole stellar objects like moons to mine, planet to realistically colonize ...

This would be a fine "get the pitchforks" article, if we ignore the fact that plenty of news sites exist covering these topics that have a similar sized editorial team and are doing okay. There is definitely a problem and this further shows how the advertising-fueled business model poisons the content well, but for Jezebel this may have been just one overly magnified aspect.
You can start by paying $20 for ChatGPT 4 and try it on tasks where you're familiar with the subject matter. I've tried it and I've been amazed.

My project isn't large or even mid-sized, but it has over a hundred dependencies. Building the dependencies certainly takes some time on my raspberry pi 4, but after that initial hit, every change to the project builds a release in about 15 seconds, and a debug build in about 10.

And on my Macbook Air M2, where I actually develop, these things happen fast enough to call them instant. Perhaps I'm a bit spoiled there due to the excellent hardware. As a comparison, a Typescript project I'm working on using a more powerful Macbook always takes about 5-10 seconds to build.

I don't doubt that actually large Rust projects take a long time to build, though, but even these small and mid-sized were rather slow to build a few years ago.
Navy submarines regularly deafen all sorts of animals with their sonars and are implicated in whales beaching themselves to escape the noise.

But let’s make Elon Musk put headphones on seals (plural) because it’s funny to make the billionaire jump through hoops.

If I was in Musk’s position I would simply threaten to pack up everything and take all Starship development over to China. I bet a lot of the “essential” paperwork would magically be made to go away.
I recently started buying out CDs of bands that I value. I don't cancel Spotify now because I don't have all the music I listen to, but thanks for warning. We have to prepare for big black hole of access to our culture when it becomes no longer mainstream.

At this moment shows I used to watch are removed from all the platforms too, leaving me the only option to "buy" them on Amazon. "Buy" because they will still be in a cloud, and one harsh blow of the wind can make the cloud gone. The wind of changes I mean.
Yeah but it amounts to bad service, and typically this aren't essential services that can't be replaced. If everyone does this then they should adjust accordingly or just go out of business.

I listened to the relevant section and there’s no indication that the shark question is what is blocking launch. In fact it is clear that question was already answered.

> Eventually they managed to solve the internal quandary, and indeed the probability of us hitting a shark is essentially zero.

It’s not clear to me that Fish and Wildlife has actually behaved unreasonably. I would expect them to ask about fish and wildlife.
For the sake of completeness, I can recommend Werkzeug. I use it for Django backend development and it's incredibly useful. It allows me to have "PDB" shell right in the browser whenever and wherever an exception is met.

My impression from the article is that Zig provides several different hashtables and not all of them are broken in this way.

This reminds me of Aria's comment in her Rust tutorial https://rust-unofficial.github.io/too-many-lists/ about failing to kill LinkedList. One philosophy (and the one Rust chose) for a stdlib is that this is only where things should live when they're so commonly needed that essentially everybody needs them either directly or to talk about. So, HashTable is needed by so much otherwise unrelated software that qualifies, BloomFilter, while it's real useful for some people, not so much. Aria cleaned out Rust's set of standard library containers before Rust 1.0, trying to keep only those most people would need. LinkedList isn't a good general purpose data structure, but, it was too popular and Aria was not able to remove it.

Having multiple hash tables feels like a win (they're optimized for different purposes) but may cost too much in terms of the necessary testing to ensure they all hit the quality you want.
Yet they still don't want to laminate the damn thing
It doesn’t matter whether you believe in it or not lol, it simply is that way. I can send you a Google maps link to somewhere in the US that is a food desert simply by virtue of being a large suburb with residential zoning.

My guess is your conception of a suburban area (relatively densely populated?) is a bit different from ours in the US. Also for some reason you seem to think that because your area doesn’t have zoning or enforce it, other places don’t.

No, he didn't say it was his "best guess." He said, and I quote, “I feel very confident predicting autonomous robotaxis for Tesla next year. From our standpoint, if you fast-forward a year … maybe a year and three months, but next year for sure, we will have over a million robotaxis on the road.”

"Next year for sure" is not a "best guess."

Python packages are mostly fine if they're pure Python, the issue comes when you're installing native C/C++/Fortran dependencies, which most ML and scientific codes have. People who complain about Python vs Go or Rust or Node in this area I think are not comparing like for like at all.

In academia, everyone pretty much uses Conda to get around these issues, because packages there if you stick to the main channel 'just work' but the licensing is prohibitive elsewhere. Many years ago, you couldn't generally expect to install a Python package on your machine if it had compiled dependencies without installing those libraries yourself with your system package manager and having a local compiler toolchain. That's changed because PyPi introduced wheels which allow you to bundled shared objects, and is why Python is now usable on Windows, but it's not perfect as the this post shows. Wheels generally are available for the most popular OS/architecture combinations - x86 processors, Windows, Mac, and 'manylinux' (an old Linux distribution with low version of glibc to maintain compatibility with newer distros. If you fall outside of that (ARM Mac, want to use a distro with MUSL rather than glibc, etc. etc.) then you basically are on your own and need to compile everything from scratch, and you're going to have a lot of... fun... doing so. In my previous job I worked for a University with a POWER9 GPU cluster, and so we used tools like EasyBuild and Spack to try and manage this, but many packages required manual patches in order to get them working.

I can see how the nuclear agreement works, but for drones, it feels like any military has to find a loophole for this, or just give up.

I don't see how there is going to be a real resolution without some actual political integration. Which obviously seems impossible unless there is some devastating war crushing one side.

I want to believe in stuff like this but I guess I am skeptical.
Sounds like there can be an easy fix for something like this with a few minor HR policy changes
> And Starship seems to really be the main focus of Elon where he doesn't just lead but is in the weeds

There lies the danger, considering his work leading Twitter.
Elon Musk's biggest problem is his chronic inability to shut the hell up.

No one would care who he was as a person if he just let his media people do their jobs, and stuck to corporate press releases to respond to things.

Plenty of people say they dislike Jeff Bezos, but barely anyone even thinks about Jeff Bezos or knows what he sounds like.

Right and that's the only time they enforce loitering laws so that the area doesn't look like a cyberpunk dystopia. The rest of time they will keep incentivizing dangerous behavior under the excuse of empathy even though it obviously does not work.

> San Francisco is at the center of the flourishing global artificial-intelligence industry

This is not true, it's still Silicon Valley since many decades ago. SF was enjoying the tech boom coming from SV in the early 2010's and decided that "tech bros" were destroying their precious "culture". They tried to blame the lack of recovery on the pandemic and other causes but it is now evident other cities recovered and that people left because the city is not very welcoming to new residents unless you are a drug addict and cannot afford rent.
One of my clients has their own instance of ChatGPT running. It is running on dedicated hardware, is trained on different data, and we can change the core prompts with relative ease. We even get to tune some temperature coefficient, which adjusts whether the LLM behaves in a creative or factual way.

This is because the client in question is in a regulated industry.

This week, we used it a bunch of times to help rephrase objectives while working in brainstorm sessions, allowing it absorb ridiculously large regulatory PDFs to give us summaries and ideas of what our greenfield project should focus on.
It's the picture in the article that really sells this theory.

I assume Mr Taing to be a stand up honest person but why the heck did they put a picture of him half smirking in penumbra in a Dr Evil pose?
> 1. The grid is not affected. The resp. letters stay within their grid-aligned bounding boxes.

Their own examples literally show that this isn't the case. Just look at the "filming" example, with the "m". In addition, their five fonts showcase shows that letters that "need space" can overbound.

I think it's accurate to say that a word respects it's bounding box, but interior glyphs don't necessarily. Unless their own examples are somehow misrepresentative.
Has Elon actually promised something concrete about this? Elon's not the first guy ever to hype the hyperloop idea.

On its basis it is hard to think we won't this at some point as it promises essentially orbit-like capability on the surface, so everyone has the right to dream we'd get this sooner.

Once you start to look at scientific packages in other languages, they have the same issues as Python does, because they start to use scientific libraries written in C and Fortran, as rewriting 50+ years of code is actually really hard.
Something people forget is the weight of large robot arms, and the gear ratios involved with moving these masses. Usually that ends up meaning that by the time you get to the end effector, the inertia of whatever it manipulates is miniscule in comparison to the inertias of the preceeding links of the arm.
Yeah, that sounds reasonable. Well said!

But the niggle is that the issue covered in the article occured after the acquisition. What do you say about that? :)
I guess the people who works there don't just want to make food for the super rich. Maybe they have friends and family, and they want to imagine that the experience they create would also be available to people like that. And if that's the case then the "low" price is a fundamental requirement, and it makes sense to say that it's not sustainable (the combination of the quality and the price).
For projects I am familiar with, usually you have to propose actual deliverables, and there are project reviews and reports that have to be delivered to program managers.

But given the nature of research, it is kind of unpredictable. One trick is to propose research that you've already completed or at least gotten into a prototype phase.
