no - funding is going to places where profit is returned on investment, NOT to the tedious and long-term work that all of this sits on. It is not "human nature" because tedious, high-skill maintenance is done by humans, which built the infrastructure and continue to be crucial.

There is no accountability and in fact high-five and star shots for those taking piles of money and placing it on more piles of money, instead of doing what appears to be obvious to almost everyone on this thread -- paying long-term engineers.
Maybe not layoffs - maybe more the fact that their stock compensation will plummet in value as it is no longer a hyper growth stock. Also, the consequences of Elon’s misbehaviour has finally caught up with the branding so it is no longer cool to work there.
Funny, I'm considering buying our second Tesla (to replace my BMW) because the company _is_ run by Musk. I'm also big fan of not dictating what other people should say, and find his direct communication style refreshing, even though I disagree with some of his opinions. And that's before we even bring up several other areas where he's successfully doing civilizationally impactful work.

Pretty much never.

One particular terrible case I saw was when a developer left a testing flag in a build that got pushed to production and used for years. Had you set the right &whatever flag in the URL you'd have unauthenticated access to everything. It was discovered years after the fact when the software was no longer in supported status, so nothing was ever wrote up about it and told to the users. "They shouldn't have been using it by now anyway, no use in bad press and getting users worried".

Same with my Kia EV6. After driving my old Kia Rondo for 15 years, I felt right at home in the EV6. Traditional stalks for lights and wipers, all kinds of dedicated buttons, familiar and comfortable.

Kia went to quite some work to make it feel like a regular car.
Is mutation based testing only better because it forces more tests to be written to kill the mutants?

Also, mutation based testing is really orthogonal to the others, since it's a way of evaluating the adequacy of the tests, not of actually testing. One could easily imagine using PBT/fuzzing to generate (and then simplify) tests with the express goal of killing mutants.
I agree something is wrong with their marketing. I was also initially drawn to Vercel and Netlify but after extended use and not being happy with either I eventually tried Cloudflare and discovered I love it. The pricing and the product is fantastic.
It almost feels like he's just overpromising to get other car companies to miss what is the USP of a Tesla vehicle - the efficiency. The autopilot nonsense is criminal, but the fact that VW group, Mercedes nor any Japanese manufacturer can't hold a candle to the upper limit of 4 miles per kilowatt. If a model 3 was within my budget, I'd get it despite of the lack of a good radar-guided cruise control, despite the lack of buttons to engage drive, despite the lack of a HUD and mechanical buttons for climate controls. And despite the moron at the helm. All of that since it is the most efficient car on the market as far as I can tell.
Same. If I wanted to project that image I'd just paint a swastika on my existing car.
I agree, I do also wonder what the role of routine and following through on commitments is. Getting things done alone can make people feel better and more confident.
BMI is a perfectly fine societal tool. It is a bit less effective individually, but that’s between you are your doctor. If your doctor says your BMI is bad, it ain’t cause you’re a body builder (and for the record, body builders leaving normal BMI also increases their risks of various health problems)

Also, the vast majority of body builders are in “overweight”. Most muscle heavy gym goers should still be in normal BMI, or maybe the low end of overweight at a 10-15% body fat.

Let me guess, nothing that's part his core believes?
I got a Tesla (model Y) because I wanted an reasonably priced family EV with long range. It seemed to be the best choice, and so far I'm not disappointed.

I'm not gonna get another Tesla, but not because I dislike the brand, rather because one buys so few cars in one's life that it's more interesting to get something else.

Humans can't really digest fiber (like ruminants), but fiber is metabolized to some degree by bacteria in the colon. Specifically the bacteria ferment fiber into butyrate which is important for immune system function and other things. If you don't get enough fiber then that is likely to cause gut microbiome problems.

People that are just starting out (bootstrappers), very small startups, or just people that can’t afford paying Qt’s license, but want/need to keep their code closed source this is a major block. It means you can’t use Qt without capital if you want your app to be close sourced. It creates sort of a chicken and egg problem for these people. They me be willing to pay for Qt’s license in the future, yet currently can’t afford to. Thus, they might abandon or not even start their Qt’s project.
From my experience previously looking for a non-technical founder, I've run into a lot of people who think they're the second coming of Steve Jobs or something like that and so in turn try to hardball in equity and other negotiations despite having no leverage at all, which just makes them look like a fool. An idea is worth essentially $0 without any ability to execute it. The fact that equity points are a big concern should be a glaring red flag to stay away.
You have basically found the Reddit /r/technology contingency. Most stories I see there are laughing at a single man's failures. There's just a lot of hate. I wanted a Tesla because other friends and family let me ride in theirs. I liked the car. I also like Chick-fil-a Chicken, and Papa Johns Pizza. From time to time, I visit Hobby Lobby. If I did digging on EVERY CEO, and found things that I disagreed with, I'd likely have few places left to shop. Instead, I try to focus on the other "non-crazy" folks that work at these places.

When it comes to Tesla technology... it's actually really good.

First send a message to the mailing list as "Alice" providing a detailed bug report for a real bug, and a flawless patch to fix it.

Then you reply to the mailing list as "Bob" agreeing that it's a bug, thanking "Alice" for the patch and the time she spent producing such a detailed bug report, then explaining that unfortunately it won't be merged any time soon, then apologising and saying you know how frustrating it must be for Alice.

Your two characters have been model citizens: Alice has contributed a good quality bug report, and code. Bob has helped the project by confirming bug reports, and has never been rude or critical - merely straightforward, realistic and a bit overly polite.

Show HN: Undermind – Deep scientific paper search with adaptive LLMs
We can now build drastically higher quality search because we can use LLMs in algorithms that mimic a human's systematic research process, instead of just roughly recommending results based on semantic embeddings or term frequency.

We built a deep search LLM pipeline that takes a few minutes to carefully search all the scientific literature. You describe your complex goal, as you would to a colleague. Then, we carefully search 200M+ papers. We classify the preliminary results with GPT-4. We then adapt the search goals based on relevant/irrelevant papers uncovered and continue searching, repeating in a scalable, structured exploration. Because of the classification accuracy, we can track this process statistically to predict what fraction of relevant papers have been discovered so far at any point, and know when the search is complete. There's more explanation of techniques/benchmarks in the whitepaper on our homepage.

We want to optimize the workflow for researchers in ML, biotech, medicine, etc, and would love critical feedback and suggestions. One major challenge is getting users to accurately describe their search goal, including everything implicitly in their head (instead of keyword phrasing). Another is how to differentiate what's happening behind the scenes, and manage expectations on timing (it's ~3-6 minutes). Also, of course, how to optimally present the results.

Weighing down the leaves is one possibility, but is it also possible that water adhering to surfaces was creating reflections and providing alternative paths for the signal? I don't know if such a thing could happen at that frequency, but if you imagine looking out a window at night towards a window in a distant building, with a tree blocking the direct line of sight, and someone in the window sending you a message with a flashlight, you would only see the light via reflections. On a dry night the reflections might be matte and hard to see, but on a rain-soaked night you might be able to see stronger and sharper reflections on metal poles, walls, or puddles that were visible from both windows.

Aren't humans interesting when they try to practice logic? Let's hope our Dear Leaders and The Experts (including The Scientists) took some classes before they tried to pull it off under extremely difficult circumstances, in a problem space containing thousands/millions of variables, many of them hallucinated (but not realized as such, because science does not study that in a really serious way).

Do you think that they have? And if not, do you think this is something we should perhaps include in these highly intellectual conversations?
Maybe the lines are more blurry, but design, marketing, and product are not just “ideas.” I’m not going to weigh in on what Steve contributed, but it’s perfectly plausible that he did so without writing code or holding a soldering iron.

Just about every advertised Datadog alternative does maybe 10% of what Datadog can do, and likely has hundreds less pluggable integrations than Datadog. While it may be the case that it's overkill for a simple application, one of the biggest benefits to Datadog is that there's an integration for just about anything, and the product can go deep if you need it to.

The "omg my bill is out of control" issue is usually manifest from a few sources, one of the biggest is relying heavily on custom metrics added over time, and so you think you're paying X but really you end up paying 2-3X or more by the end of the year. But the tricky thing is, most of those things that cost a lot of money either have a lot of value, or held a lot of value at the time.

That said, I'm also not convinced his reputation is the reason for shipments to drop precipitously. But it could absolutely be a contributing factor.

I certainly think there's an 80/20 rule here. Most packages are not very hard to port, and generally the ones that are hard to build use features like threads and multiprocessing, graphics cards, raw sockets, green threads, or other capabilities that have no obvious analogue in a webassembly runtime.

As we mention in the blog post, the biggest issues are around supporting server and request packages since they are clearly useful in cloudflare workers but are difficult to port because they frequently use raw sockets and some form of concurrency.
Also, some people really are superstars. If you want work with them when they're already celebrities in the field, then sure, that's who you want to work with. Once you're in the celebrity sphere you can stop thinking of checkboxes.
