I remember finding patterns to "collapse" into fewer points, like closing a flower back up by booping it in the middle. And then after I'd collapsed all I could, cascading as described in the article. Rarely did I need to run another round of collapse after a cascade.

I disagree with this. Complexity is just harder to remember, it requires more attention and more iterations to remember it.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that only the purchase of a Cybertruck is related to this "behavior", but not a Model 3/Y/X/S, when you said:

> And buying a Cybertruck does imply that you either (a) agree with or (b) are ambivalent about Musk's behaviour.

Is there some Cybertruck related behavior I'm not aware of? Maybe you could state the behavior that Cybertruck and/or Tesla owners are supposedly agreeing with/ambivalent about?

Basecamp has a lot of features built for agencies. I’m sure lots of agencies use JIRA, but basecamp is definitely more focused on that niche out of the box, where JIRA requires lots of configuration.

“Client” accounts that can float across projects with limited access, warnings above text fields about which clients will be able to see a post/comment, files can be updated and a full history is kept with it, Gantt (ish) chart project planning, etc etc.

I also doubt a library would have much use for much of JIRA’s features anyway.

And whatever you select otherwise, definitely be sure to not miss Lem's "Golem XIV": Lectures by what nowadays is called an AGI to Humanity, short before that entity evolves to an even more advanced level - from which further communication with humans will no longer be possible, and that likely operates outside the physics known to us. Stunning, especially when considering it was written in 1973-1980.
Seemingly, the English translation of Imaginary Magnitude contains Golem XIV in its entirety; in German and other languages
it was published as a separate book.
It's probably overkill for what he wants though. A headless Linux server frees up the GPU for a gaming VM, and he can run containers natively for everything else.
Back in the early days, MS-DOS was very much like CP/M in that there were several different 8088 machines. The “PC Compatible” hadn’t quite exploded yet, so MS-DOS (and CP/M 86) compatibility was enough.

But soon, Flight Simulator became the benchmark for compatibility, and I think the final nail was that Lotus 1-2-3 required an actual PC compatible machine. That plus the rise of clone BIOSs pretty much ended the brief era of generic, 8088, non-PC compatible machines, save for niche domains.

An interesting artifact of this era was when Steve Ciarcia of BYTE magazine released his 8088 board, and it was not PC compatible. He made some different design decisions.

I don't know much about German law specifically, but it's true that some countries of residence are plain incompatible with certain business models, and there might not be legal solutions available.

For example, trying to be a professional soldier in Iceland, or a prostitute in the US, just plain won't work out legally, no matter how complicated the arrangements you make.

Personally, I quit my job at a time I had $300/mo in income from my startup and lived in an old suv. Yes there is a bottom limit but it’s much lower than you might think. A big limitation many people have is their family, since if they aren’t onboard (mine was) then it cannot work out. But in that case it’s no longer fuck you money, since you’re trying to earn enough to maintain your family relationships first, an honorable decision to be sure.
Two-Man Rule
The initial Cybertruck announcement had the three trim levels priced at $39,990, $49,990, and $69,990. This is a price increase of between $21k and $30k, across the board. The original top-level $69,990 trim also advertised a 500-mile range, which is now down to 320 miles. Were they just making shit up? If I had put a deposit down back in 2019 I'd be pretty upset.

Edit: I just looked and Musk himself has stated that there have been over 1 million preorders/deposits for this vehicle. So they collected at least $100MM of customer money based on completely made up pricing/specs. WTF.
It somewhat depends on the product, but in the beginning, I think the tech only matters inasmuch as it allows you to iterate quickly and build a product people love. It can be a spaghetti code tire fire underneath.

What really matters is market insight to understand what people want, design ability to give it to them, and sales/marketing to get traction. You do need a good engineer to pull this off, but they need to prioritize iteration speed, not engineering quality.
> real competition

Cybertruck isn't real competition yet.

EDIT: Anyone who is seriously considering a vehicle in this form factor is looking at F150 Lightning and/or Rivian right now. The $61k Cybertruck has a "maybe by 2025" date stamped right there, and the $80k Cybertruck says "2024" at the earliest, with no actual month specified.

I think we're all assuming that's "January 2024", but... none of us actually know that. If GM Silverado's EV comes into widespread production/release before Cybertruck its just going to be that much more hilarious.

------------

The _ONLY_ reason to consider Cybertruck is because you're into Elon's reality distortion field IMO. Anyone who needed a truck this year or last year already got one. And anyone thinking of one this month, or next month (barely: December 2023) ain't looking at Cybertruck either.

Being a Cybertruck fan right now is about trusting Elon and saying "Yeah, I think he's still got this", despite all the other crap he's been doing this year. At least Model X / Model 3 / etc. etc. fans can say they bought the car before Elon went full tilt crazy with Twitter/X.
> Or is it only OK when Tesla does it?

There's no reason to assume I'm biased towards Tesla here.

If any carmaker wanted to say "our car is X% more efficient, and the average person could reasonably expect to save $Y", and then discount that from the sticker price, I would be okay with that.

I don't think it's deceptive at all as long as the estimate is reasonable, and as long as there is clear communication about the sticker price vs the price after savings.
God I am so disgusted by trucks as virtue/status signaling. This is just that turned up to 11. I really wish we just recognized cars as transportation and built them for that purpose, while providing alternatives. Such a misallocation of resources.
>> 1) you (or your partner) do need domain experience and expertise. If you want open a bakery, or even try to automate a bakery, you really need at least some commercial baking experience. I see so many folks pitching a product in an area where they have zero experience.

I'd love to deep-dive into your example. Lets say this is the case.

Suppose you are the technical co-founder coding for 80hrs/wk. Does the baker also work 80hrs/wk? Can you just hire a baker as a consultant for 5hrs/month? Is that worth giving away 50% of the quity? Are they just providing some domain expertise you can buy a la carte, or are they bring in sales and critical relationships? Are they just another baker, or President of the National Baker's Association who will get you front-row exposure to thousands of bakers?
Unfortunately what we learned in the pandemic is that "science" is a thing that happens behind closed doors and is then forced down the public's throat without allowance for public discussion or dissent.

Good science can stand questions and discussion, that's how it's done. Given anthropogenic climate change is a real factor there are a lot of possible courses of response to it. Shutting down conversation by shaming is not going to build trust, and trust is vital for a meaningful climate change response.

> Trucks are meant to haul.

Agreed.

> Anything with less than an 8' bed ...

WTF? Doesn't your truck have a Hayman-Reese hitch, anti swaybars, various carry racks; don't you have several different trailers - single and double axle, light weight and heavy tonnage, caravans and animal floats?

I'm starting to wonder if, in fact, you've got any kind of working vehicle setup at all.

Crew cabs are so you can haul a fire pump trailer out to spot blazes with four people, tools, along with bulk water tank pumps, etc.
I have admittedly not test driven it, but there's certain fundamental physical realities that are pretty hard to overcome. Ride height and vehicle weight universally negatively impact handling on the road because they increase your momentum, center of gravity, suspension travel, etc. Weight in particular is hard to counteract because going around a corner relies on being able to redirect that mass using only the friction generated by the contact patch of the tires. Unless Tesla has found unobtanium tires or figured out how to negate the laws of physics, cornering at any kind of speed in a cybertruck is going to suck compared to a lighter vehicle.
Why does the mainstream get invoked in these types of arguments when no one called them? Who cares? There's hundreds upon hundreds of classical composers who didn't really survive into popularity who wrote standard good quality music for their time. Many people know of Haydn but who (who isn't a pianist) has ever heard of Kuhlau?

Not to mention Bach had to regain popularity through Mendelsshon.
Sure it does. There's no secret to making boxes, or installing glass windows, or making frozen pizzas, or ordering gravel, or installing breakers, or paving sidewalks. Very very few companies make something that actually sets them apart via a trade secret. And sure, there might be some tricks in those examples but it's not putting anyone out of business via being accidentally found a year from now in accidentally leaked partial training data.

My last job was Director of IT and I'm absolutely sick and tired of security fear mongering. Turn on MFA for everything. Boom. You are now secured from 99.9999% of attacks. Chat GPT is absolutely the least of my concerns.
I'll wait to see some credible pedestrian safety ratings rather than random eyeballing. American trucks are already designed to easily kill pedestrians; a lower shape where a pedestrian goes over rather than being knocked flat could well be less bad.
I buy the same Hass avocados you posted, and I've lived in every region in the U.S. For the past 10 years, I have eaten an avocado (minimum 1/2 avocado) every single day. That is several thousand avocados.

I can say with absolute conviction that it isn't the rind giving you trouble. I can pick every ripe Hass avocado out of a bin of 50, and never once be wrong. That said, there are a couple of stores in my current area that have garbage Hass avocados. The ones I buy from this store are consistently gross and fibrous, even when ripe, and have a very short window. I boycott these stores. They either have a second rate supplier, or else somehow ruin the product in transport.

By the way, you need a gentle touch and the ability very slowly, smoothly increase pressure. You pick up the avocados that are not yet ripe, the moment one is on the threshold, such that there is a nearly imperceptible give which does not bounce back, you buy the avocado. It should not bruise the fruit, and you won't be able to detect it when peeled. After this check, you can visually tell when it has fully ripened, ~1-2 days later. For what it's worth, I've never successfully ripened one AFTER cutting into it, and I've never kept an uncut avocado for more than 4 days.
Could someone who understands the situation better explain .. what are the business synergies between Broadcom and VMware? Is there any business overlap at all..?

Maybe buying and laying off is a profitable move, but I'd expect it to be done by investment firms that specialize in that. It'd be a bizarre financial gamble for a chip company. So there must be some angle where this makes sense for them and not for anyone else

Absolutely. This is an organization with a set of values, whose members are thoughtful and highly educated, and they don’t want to help enrich someone whose values they find problematic.

This is what free markets are all about. I’m not going to buy my apples from the market stall with the confederate flag. And Bob Iger doesn’t want his movies advertised next to posts spewing white supremacy.

This ability of the market to moderate behaviour is a good thing. It is, after all, entirely peaceful and non-coercive.
7 years isn’t arbitrary? Jubilees are 50 years, which is also arbitrary.

I don’t like the culture of huge debt either, but pretending solutions like this aren’t arbitrary is ridiculous. We have bankruptcy to prevent debt slavery (except for student loans in the US). We have LVT to prevent speculative bubbles, we just need to implement it.

I gotta say, the ending was pretty disappointing. I was so hyped to learn why Grammarly crashes when Chrome loads a particular gif. What about the gif was different? What part of Grammarly made that happen? I hate to say it but this is modern web dev in a nutshell. Remove stuff until you find where the bug is, tweak it randomly until it's fixed, done. No root cause analysis or anything deep.

This is a great post anyway. Well written and still quite intriguing right up until the end. And it seems lots of comments on here seem to also know about this problem, so I think I can still satisfy my curiosity.
What is an agency in this context?
Meh, depends entirely on your trade. I'd much prefer to be an IT contractor in the US, and much prefer to be a prostitute in Australia.

I considered the Lightning and I really wanted to like it, but for a truck, I’d still rather have a diesel. I have a 36 gal tank, I can tow 20k+lbs, and I can beat the hell out of it and get it fixed anywhere.

I would love a PHEV truck though. Give me a 30 mile range for just driving it around unloaded and I’ll happily go into diesel mode whenever I have to do real work.

>> My technical cofounder provided a lot of value in getting us to where we are, for sure. But needing a technical cofounder to launch doesn't necessarily mean you need one all the way along.

This is a good point, but it should be clear that you would not have gotten to this point w/o the technical co-founder.

The problem is that once you get to this point, less than honest non-technical people seek to marginalize and eventually consume the equity/payout of the technical co-founder that often took the original risk.

It is critical that technical co-founders maintain equity and FIGHT hard for what they have earned and enabled, do a fair extent of the value they added.
It would be silly to assume otherwise, actually.

Driving a kei truck is basically the most fun you can have with your pants on and they get a smile from everyone. AIUI, it's primarily the safety regulations that make them unsellable new in the USA. The crumple zone is the drivers knees, just like a VW microbus.

Oh, and they top out at something like 50 mph. Which would be terrifying if you managed to keep your foot planted long enough to get up to that speed.

It makes sense on my project where we have 20 million lines of C++, all covered by it. Only rarely does it stop my build on a I don't care (generally i'm adding temp debugging code that i'll rip out before commiting). If you keep clean code clean it isn't hard to leave werror on and even compiler upgrades are not that painful.
I was so disappointed that the story ended with we can't look inside Grammerly or Chrome to know why the gif decode/rendering causes it to crash. This isn't interesting at all. Many problems get narrowed down to some combination but not knowing really why is unsatisfying.
