> The world’s wealthiest person has used LSD, cocaine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms, often at private parties around the world, where attendees sign nondisclosure agreements or give up their phones to enter, according to people who have witnessed his drug use and others with knowledge of it. Musk has previously smoked marijuana in public and has said he has a prescription for the psychedelic-like ketamine.

Report goes on to say people around him are worried about his ongoing drug use, particularly Ketamine.

A Tesla director stepped down due to his erratic behavior.

He once took the stage at a large company meeting presumably high and slurring his words.

Board members suspected he was on drugs while tweeting about taking the company private. The tweet caused an SEC investigation.

So, a little more than a Steve Jobs rant about his LSD hippy days.
I just thought it was a funny retort to a seeming assertion that they were extremely reliable.

Although I think I only got $9k for my old Boxster, so a $10k rebuild seems a bit painful... I imagine they go for more now. I didn't love the car, unfortunately.
No, that's absolutely not true. They can and have grounded entire aircraft lines.

There's literally no reason to ban the aircraft.
for a more expensive alternative to limit smartphone use, i bought an apple watch ultra, turned off notifs, and it cut down my phone screen time down by ~80% pretty much overnight. basically just keep my phone in another room for most of the day and night (watch works great as an alarm clock)
You have the same output as me.

It’s like an open faucet with words and stuff spilling out, and ideas, strategies, facts etc.

Elon Musk has talked about having a similar experience of just raw ideation to a degree that it is unpleasant.

My ideation cannot be shut off.

I walk multiple hours today just thinking obsessively and planning, iterating, ideating.

I can’t sit still, the activity of my brain is unpleasant I am just ruminating all the time.

Doesn’t happen to normal people - I think their brains are usually calmer - more in a neutral mode.

The end result is that when I do get engaged, and get into work, I tend to get extremely burned out. You can’t have this level of super output without burning out.

This is autistic melt downs / burn out I only learned about from YouTube.
Market forces only work when no individual or even large groups of individuals control enough capital to influence market trends, the problem is because of the dismantling of capital gains taxes etc. we have exactly that. We live in a state of affairs where individuals own over 80% of rental properties in entire suburbs. They can then do whatever they like with rent, since there is no such thing as market forces in those areas. They then collude with similar individuals in surrounding areas and create an unregulated monopoly. How do you propose that is beneficial?
I hope you do have paper/PDF stock certificates. Carta is just a tool to display your vesting progress. It holds no weight in court.
Have to wonder how good it is to browse the web without JS - don't many government / utility websites rely on it?
For most individuals (as opposed to businesses), the only relevant taxes for the tax return are federal and state income taxes. Even then, there are several states in the country that have no state income tax, so you end up filing only the federal return. I live in such a state, and I still find the system very convoluted compared to what I've seen elsewhere.

Most crucially, it's still unclear to me why a return has to be filed at all for any tax that is already paid (from wages), and why it has to be manually compiled in cases where the agency has all the information about taxable income. If I don't owe anything, I shouldn't even need to file anything. If I do owe taxes, send me the forms prefilled and let me either sign off on them or add any missing info as needed. Anything over and above this is just pure waste of everybody's time and an opportunity for parasites to profit.
Hacker News doesn't like corp speak...but sometimes corp speak is infinitely better than the alternative.
They use Webflow which requires you manually apply copy changes at each breakpoint. Looks like they forgot one of them.
The failure point on every ergo 4000 I've owned has been the spacebar center post. First thing I'll do now is grease that up with some Teflon marine engine grease. Did that on the current one and I'm at around 6 years without a failure vs 2 or so before that.
> For example, the Magna Carta was a major concession of the power of the English King to lower nobility. There are always going to be people who dream of running their own fiefdom and see democracy as at best a nuisance and at worst an active impediment.

...what? Are you seriously trying to claim that absolute monarchy is a form of democracy?
You are correct, I have very little urge to talk to people.

I have absolutely nothing in common with most people and it feels like very little to talk about, and I am extremely impatient with them.

Isolating and ruminating is the alternative I guess.

Wow, this is awesome. Thanks a lot.
To me, comments, and more specifically the tone of the comments are a reflection of the working environment.
The scene with the knife didn't show that the hosts would try and save every human life in the park, just the life of the creator of the park.
>>Which "same range"?

Volvo can do 1000km using 75 litres of petrol + 10kWh of electricity(and it is 10kWh in my model, 15kWh is a newer one).

BYD can do 1000km using 75 litres of petrol + 50kWh of electricity.

The math on this is very simple, no?
There’s been a Python issue tho where 2.x has been where a lot of apps are but is based on a 2016 version of Fx. A lot of services probably forgot that they supported KaiOS & when they heard 3.x, despite the upgrade process not being too bad, a lot of apps dropped out support for the platform. The 3.x devices are also much more difficult to root/mod which removes the cool hacker scene of 2.x or Linux/Android.
I feel that in corporate it is generally understood you are to play out a role given your social rank.

If you are X, you are not allowed to ask about Y topic etc.

People with Aspergers do not perceive these boundaries and open topics they are not supposed to or are “above their pay grade.”

Status blindness and career limiting.
I imagine car-companies all scrambling to do their testing on the same small section of some US highway which meet the criteria of long-enough for the EPA's measure, consistently downhill, and mostly straight.

... Or if the stakes are high enough, building their own "test track".
There are places in US where the firefighters won't respond to a fire in buildings where owners haven't specifically paid the bill for their own coverage, because the local voters like it that way (those that haven't had their house burn down while the coverage lapsed, anyway).
"Mainstream media" isn't a monolith, it's filled with many types of content.

WSJ is going full bore down the path of most other Murdoch News Corp media properties, less neutral news, more click generating emotional rage bait.

( Okay, technically WSJ is directly a Dow Jones & Company, Inc. asset - but Dow Jones is now just another American publishing firm owned by News Corp.)

I can’t, it requires theory of mind which I don’t have. The concept of a “this person is a This so you talk to them like That.”

I don’t have it.

Also:

I have worked with quantum physicists with multiple degrees from Harvard / Stanford / Yale etc and realized I am in the same room as and same conversations as them.

These are the upper .01% of the talent pool and my intelligence has got me to that level.

You can’t pull that off by being a complete dumb ass. I have done it over and over and over.

Agreed. Not sure taking the stage high on ketamine is a good look though. Or tweeting things high the cause an SEC investigation. Or becoming so erratic a director quits.

Seems to speak to the problem more than his use of psychedelics.
Legal while at work?
Another great example is immediately washing dishes after cooking and eating, always. It has to become routine that the sink is not a place for dirty dishes.

Many of my ADHD friends still struggle with this, and I even on occasion will let a few dishes stack up on my desk while working for long bouts of time.

A lot of ADHD issues stem around the delayed reward system getting screwed up, and the best antidote for this is extreme proactiveness, doing everything immediately. It's too easy to wake up, say "I'll brush my teeth in a few minutes" and then hyperfocus for 16 hours straight until you fall asleep.

ADHD is its own worst enemy and building coping mechanisms or changing habits can be incredibly difficult when the nature of the disorder involves difficulty with sticking to new routines. This can be compounded heavily if there is comorbidity with OCD, PTSD, etc.
Folks, this is a masterclass in how not to give an apology.

1. Apology (great, I hope they end it here)
2. Shift the blame slightly (uh oh)
3. Attempt to make him feel bad (yikes)
4. Question the initial incentive (big yikes)
5. Full conspiracy (big big yikes)

Extremely manipulative and weak feeling.
My problem is going on rants about highly abstract topics and theories and ideas, or innovating more than “I am supposed to.”
That doesn’t really respond to the point, though. Is Seattle’s government efficient and effective? To my recollection, Seattle doesn’t have great public services.
I think we need one more axis, willingness to exploit others. Capitalism isn't inherently bad, but it is a problem when it has major flaws that allow for systematic an unintended avenues of exploitation. I support capitalism, I understand capitalism, and I have success in the system however I categorically refuse to partake in the smorgasbord of options for exploiting those who create value to live the life of a parasite. I take pride in my work and get compensated fairly, the work I do requires a lot of expertise and continued learning and development, something not everyone wants to do. My doing so provides significant value and that affords me some nicer things in life, but I do not agree that those who work more mundane jobs shouldn't be compensated such that they can live comfortably. The system only works if everyone who works full-time hours can life a comfortable life. The moment full-time work does not buy you comfort and security, the system rapidly becomes one that survives of the backs of slaves.
The timeout issue is often a temporary issue after an upgrade. I need to get into the machine to debug and fix it, but I'm delayed waiting for the timeout.

If they have access to the physical console, they can already permanently interrupt your boot process with an alt-sysreq, ctrl-alt-delete, and likely several other methods (power switch, or pulling the plug.) I'd say being able to gracefully cancel a timeout/retry would be the least of your worries.
Whoa, this is super cool! I can imagine if we had something like this for ChatGPT, we could use it to do some serious prompt engineering. Imagine seeing what specific neurons you were activating with your prompt, and being able to identify which word in your prompt was triggering an undesired behavior. Super cool stuff, excited to see if it scales
> I feel government should probably spend more energy on more consequential issues

Feel away, but this is about formative behavior (play!) by children. There will be consequences. Even if we cannot forecast them now.

> The private sector is perfectly capable of sorting this issue out on its own based on consumer demand.

The private sector seeks profit. Government is not supposed to seek profit, but communal well-being. The issue is not "what is the most profitable way to arrange gender-play."
That’s a good one. Just had that same problem literally today, although with a loafer, not a ski boot.
That is wrong. There’s a line and it’s very simple.

The line being drawn is “we’ve messed up a bunch of ecosystems over the years mining on land, let’s not make the same mess in this new frontier.”

Simple line. Let’s not open yet another ecosystem up to mining. It hasn’t gone well for the others.
Pihole, block all the sites you're addicted to, have someone else set the password.
Unfortunately, just having done that track, it's hard because _a lot_ of the gifted kids I was in class with had some kind of issue. Maybe not being neurodivergent, but there was a lot of mental health issues and obsessive behavior. Being just a standard human who smart was a minority position. It's interesting to me, because at my university those kids didn't have a high presence at all and I'm not sure if college was just biased against them a la gifted burn out stereotype or if I lived in a bubble

Thanks, it's kinda the impression I had already, that he was making this up.

And yes the "sinsya" thing was exactly what I'm worried about. With money come commitments.

Not sure why you're being downvoted because I really appreciate your insight.

I don't this they were mismanaged. They spent a lot of effort and money on R&D and to learn the market and get certified. However executing on buildouts didn't workout. That doesn't mean another company couldn't buy their IP and design and then pick it up where they left off. Maybe that latter company is better and selling and installing. So I wouldn't write off their approach just yet.

70 mph is the exception not the rule in the US. 65 is reasonable though
Ahh I see. When I was young, Holland was in a very different place. Much less income equality so almost everyone was middle class and pretty respectable.
I did not read the whole articles but from few paragraphs I can understand that it is stating about 'problem of evil' that believers face.

Actually this problem is faced only by western religious philosophy which is not wrong but have an incomplete conception of universe.

Eastern philosophy states that God has created this world along with certain rules with which everyone should abide by i.e. 'law of karma'. Anyone who acts or tries to act in such a way as to harm any other living being will have to suffer reactions of his 'sin' either in this life or next life. And when that suffering is perceived it is termed as evil. But actually our acts are evil which come back as life lessons to help us introspect and improve ourselves. And this system given by God is a manifestation of his love else we may all have already be converted to

Their CEO's response is truly something to behold

Affluence and opportunity are currently not evenly distributed amongst the human population (or, if you like, the American population). Certain groups, for historical reasons, have way ‘better’ lives than others. I don’t think this is at all arguable.

I would like to live in a world where every child has an equal opportunity to make their own way in life.

It doesn’t seem likely that this will (or can) happen without diversity increasing - in geographic as well as socioeconomic terms.
I agree. I'm not that familiar with this situation but seeing a CEO use swear words (idk what's the adult way to say this, I'm used to saying "bad words" to my kids) strikes me as incredibly unprofessional when it's in public, written communication. If the intent is genuine apology, that language does not make it more genuine. If, on the other hand, there's some element of sarcasm in it, then I'd question the need for such a statement in public in the first place.
I don't get it. Does he think he's so clever with the passive-aggressiveness? Who does he think he's fooling?

Sounds like they have the same range. Different power efficiency, for sure, but they do have the same range fully fueled and charged.
>Question: what's the difference between "community supported drivers" and exploitation of the valuable time of highly expert computer programmers?

Exploitation? Far from.

Nobody is forcing these people at gunpoint to work on improving support for ancient hardware. They do it because they want to.

Hard to fathom, I know. But then you've got people writing open software for e.g. classic Amiga too. This is just another form of the same thing.

AMD themselves (and these days, Valve too) do fund drive development and help the community when the documentation is unclear or defective.

>AMD should not rely on the community and should compete with Nvidia in duration and quality and feature of its drivers.

There's the implication NVIDIA is better somehow. No, it isn't. They quickly abandon support for old hardware, I have experienced it again and again before switching to AMD.

Faced with undecipherable XID errors, NVIDIA support told me to "buy a new gpu, as we don't support yours anymore". Note the GPU (MX440), while low end, had been purchased new in recent memory at that point.

AMD does something NVIDIA does not, which is to provide proper documentation for their GPUs. Thus the community does not need to reverse-engineer anything, unlike on NVIDIA side.
In my case it was not more expensive, no. But I was flying in Europe. Not sure about the US.

They just use them for the quieter flights where they have trouble filling up a 737.

I was dreading it because the last time I flew on an airliner this size it was a 717 and it was horrible. Very noisy in particular (I was seated right beside the engine I have to say). The Embraer was really delightful and it has under-wing engines.
Mainstream Western media is just a tool for few people to covertly control society. Totalitarian society media is a tool for fewer to blatantly control society. Nothing good can come from it.
So basically she's saying "if you do exactly as much as the rules allow, I'll change the rules to not allow that". That sounds like the general sort of thing that tends to end up with whichever government agency did that being on the losing end of a lawsuit?
Ada Lovelace is really power-efficient. It's a shame it's so expensive because otherwise it's a great GPU architecture.
Notably they also have windows and linux builds. And linux build includes VAAPI Patch, Intel HD support patch, and VDPAU Patch. I am yet to test it but it might be a better linux chromium option than chromium or brave for GPU acceleration.
There are already a number of Android TV based boxes/sticks out there that are quite hackable. The only thing Chromecast adds is integration with the phone apps.
This is a resignation-worthy response from someone who is unqualified to be a CEO. If he is like this on Twitter, I wonder how he is to his employees and direct reports? I think the board needs to ask for his resignation immediately.
The XPS 13 Plus has a “developer edition”, shipping with Ubuntu. Presumably these will continue to have the same going forward.

Still, it’s disappointing to see design decisions that appear to be made primarily for aesthetic reasons to the detriment of other facets of usability.
Truffe Bitcoin: Come Riconoscere e Evitare le Frodi di Mining Online

Nel mondo della criptovaluta, l'inganno è all'ordine del giorno. Scoprire la presunta ricchezza guadagnata con il mining di Bitcoin potrebbe sembrare allettante, ma è un terreno fertile per le frodi online.

Martin Hodás, esperto di sicurezza informatica, avverte sui rischi legati ai file PDF sospetti che promettono ricchezze fittizie. Gli scammers delle criptovalute cercano di far credere agli utenti di aver lasciato passare un tesoro digitale grazie a un presunto mining di Bitcoin.

Questi truffatori inviano e-mail di phishing che sostengono una registrazione a una piattaforma di mining online, minacciando la chiusura dell'account a causa dell'inattività. L'inganno? Un saldo finto e una promessa di denaro facile, ma reale è solo il pericolo per i tuoi dati.

Neowin ha esaminato diverse di queste e-mail, sottolineando il pericolo di aprire file da mittenti sconosciuti. La protezione dei dati personali è fondamentale, e l'apertura di tali file può portare a attacchi ransomware e a possibili perdite finanziarie.

La guida alla sicurezza informatica suggerisce un'attenta verifica dell'indirizzo del mittente e dei dettagli delle e-mail sospette. Mai dare dati sensibili o numeri di carte di pagamento a servizi sconosciuti è la regola d'oro.

Mentre il valore del Bitcoin cresce, così lo fanno le truffe. Scopri come proteggerti da queste frodi e evita il pericolo di perdere non solo denaro fittizio, ma anche preziose informazioni personali. La sicurezza informatica è fondamentale nella navigazione del mondo delle criptovalute.

If you take a neural network that already knows the basic rules of chess and train it on chess games, you produce a chess engine.

From the Wikipedia page on one of the strongest ever[1]: "Like Leela Zero and AlphaGo Zero, Leela Chess Zero starts with no intrinsic chess-specific knowledge other than the basic rules of the game. Leela Chess Zero then learns how to play chess by reinforcement learning from repeated self-play"

We’ve been making detailed observations about a system in a sort of “steady state” for ~100 years and have the hubris to imagine that steadiness carries back 100,000,000 times as long as the observation period, all the way through the start state, into the origin. It boggles the mind.

And yes, any attempt to figure out what happened is moot. As you detail in your second paragraph. I don’t think much of it one way or the other, besides to interject when someone makes any sort of claim that “the science” points to their particular faith’s origin story.

Can you give an example of any of the practical use cases for the Big Bang origin story?
