IIRC, Musk wasn't listed as a billionaire until 2012, and that possibly as a result of (rather than cause of) SpaceX having successfully sent cargo to the ISS.

People mock him for being bad at estimating how long projects will take… but even if you agree with the critics, he's still the one-eyed in the land of the blind when it comes to space mission project planning.

> Worst job I ever had paid about 60% of what I usually earn, and I was told of by the manager for pointing out that there were compilation errors in our master branch (at this place, anything pushed to master was automatically deployed into production, with zero testing.

Out of curiosity, how long did it take from hiring day to resignation for this to become apparent?
Most people who have worked close to him generally note that he has intimate knowledge up and down the entire product side (at minimum) of the company. This can lead to micro-management, but leads to far better results than most companies could ever hope to achieve.

Communication and agreement are what add cost and misdirection to development. When a tiny set of people with one clear goal pull the strings, it is much more efficient to reach the north star product.
Well we shall see I suppose. SRB's go back to the Apollo era and NASA safety qualifications often come down to 'are you doing what we've done before'? Hence them refusing to even consider SpaceX retropulsive crew landings, even though that would be a huge step forward.

I would also observe that NASA has a relatively poor safety record contrasted against the Soyuz (which has not lost crew since 1971 in spite of flying more manned missions), and one of the few completely catastrophic crashes we have had, Challenger, was directly related to the SRB. In either case, I expect variance is playing a much larger role than most might appreciate.
> Even if I had enough money to buy a house, I would put that money into a bank or investment fund that buys thousands of different homes and rents it out so I'm not that exposed to risks of owning any single piece of property.

Well, but imagine that houses cost a fraction of their current price. That’s the point. A home shouldn’t have to be this ginormous investment that you have to slave and save for many years to put down a small part of the total price for and be stuck paying back a mortgage to some bank for the rest of your working life.

Everyone should have the opportunity to own some kind of home, from early age and without going into debt for it.

And for the risk of the remaining low value of homes in that world, that can be covered with insurance.

And then you are still able to save up money and invest those remaining money into actually productive businesses, to diversify risk and earn a bit from your money and so on.

> Do you think that AI is having a big enough impact already to generate this valuation? Is it changing your life?

I'm actually quite bearish on AI on the very long term (and as a trained philosopher, I don't buy into the whole AGI nonsense), but I do think AI will redefine how we interact with our computers/devices in the short-to-medium term. These days, everyone's too enamored with the generative aspect (which is, for the most park, bunk), and for whatever reason ignoring the way more value-generating aspects (synthesis, categorization, summarization, validation/invocation, etc.).
I suppose it depends if you are trying to optimize for short-term wealth, or long-term staying power.
Didn't the shuttle have this harebrained thing where the crew were supposed to climb all the way to the exit hatch in their pressure suits, extend a boom along the wing in full flight and then parachute out along it?

I thought I read about that. Of course that's effectively no actual escape system lol. They'd be long dead by the time they managed all that in an out of control shuttle.

Nvidia is worth more than Apple now ( https://companiesmarketcap.com ).

It's the second most valuable company in the world behind Microsoft, which is worth about 5% more. I would guess a lot of Microsoft's Azure capex is spend on Nvidia equipment. Windows and Intel? Azure and Nvidia!

No, it has no propulsion system. That is the difference between a ship and a station.
They claimed that you needed the large amounts of force from their machine to squeeze the juice from their packets. People found that you can open them up and squeeze the juice out by hand because the machine isn't actually doing any sort of fresh juice squeezing.
In discussions I've read on planetary climate modelling one idea is that if Venus had an atmosphere like Earth's but 50%+ thicker and an ocean covering 70% of it (like Earth) you'd get an ideal situation. Because of the strong sunlight and slow spin you'd get a tendency for thick storm clouds continuously covering whatever part of the planet was experiencing mid-day, shielding the planet from the strongest and hottest rays of the (60% stronger) sunlight. The warmth would convect to the night side keeping things from getting too cold. Depending on the conditions it's possible that below-freezing temperatures wouldn't even be common in the depth of the night.

The long night seems like a problem for life but forests already thrive in the warmer parts of the near-arctic. And in times past even Antarctica had tropical rainforests despite experiencing a polar night. Another idea I had was building a ring around the planet of dark material, perhaps of left over carbon after we cleaned up the CO2 rich atmosphere. The dark ring would provide shade to certain parts of the planet during the day and would reflect light for the long night.

So, in AWS (and most others), a vCPU is something between nothing and one single thread, depending on how much you pay for it.

I wonder why IBM doesn’t do more with POWER10 in their cloud, because each core can go up to, IIRC, 8 threads.

Same for Oracle, BTW, but they are no longer investing on SPARC, just milking until it dries up completely.
AI does not, either collecting/processing data does. The valuation has many factors not necessarily related to the actual impact.
>Do you think that AI is having a big enough impact already to generate this valuation? Is it changing your life?

No, but in general I don't think anything justifies that valuation with 60 billion in annual revenue. Someone pointed out that Nvidia's market cap is now comparable to the entire German or Japanese stock market and I'd rather have an economy the size of a few trillion. American stock prices look like Japan in the 80s when the land value of the Imperial Palace was as high as California's economy.
I find that sometimes there is just no motivation, there's even a big reluctance. It's very weird how or why this happens now and then. Maybe it is a natural protection mechanism kicking in, or maybe it is just a chemical imbalance of hormones involved in the reward system.

'Just do it' (tm) does not work in those cases.

That is literally how I got my last promotion. I set up a meeting and told them I had an offer I intended to take. They had a 20% raise and promotion approved within 24 hours.

I also routinely get asked by managers for promo recommendations for coworkers thinking about leaving. IF they refuse to counter, then you should be asking yourself why you are staying.

You cant pull this maneuver more than once or twice, but it lets them know you are serious and wont just whine and accept token raises in future negotiations.

> Do you think that AI is having a big enough impact already to generate this valuation? Is it changing your life?

Yes, but the thing is: it takes time to write the software. We had proof of concepts for some serious game-changing things written and working over a year ago, but organizationally it takes a long time to write and deploy the things and get them into production. Even if LLM's didn't get any better than they are right now, there are still years' worth of ground-breaking improvements we could roll out but those will take time to write and deploy the software and reshape the business processes.
> Do you think that AI is having a big enough impact already to generate this valuation?

Yes. The impact is hype and the valuation comes from other big tech companies like Google and Microsoft

> Is it changing your life?

Not really. I barely use it anymore except when there’s no internet (phi-3 was useful as an unreliable alternative to stack overflow while on a flight)

I think Nvidia is a solid company with an overblown valuation that will eventually stabilize lower but maintain its status as a major “tech” company.

> Would you rather own one Nvidia, or WalMart six times over

Walmart has many competitors and is generally easy to replace, especially when considering the international market. Nvidia is somewhat unique in the world, so yes, Nvidia should probably be valued more

> If humans simply lived in the savannah and abandoned useless technologies like shelter and agriculture, we'd all be better off.

Depends on your definition of "better off". According to my definition, which I suspect is most people's, we're better off with modern technology, modern medicine, the Internet, etc. than we would be if we were all savannah hunter-gatherers like our ancestors 12,000 and more years ago. The very fact that you are posting here, in a conversation that wouldn't even exist if we were all savannah hunter-gatherers because the medium and the technology would never have been invented, indicates that you want at least some aspects of all that modern technology. But you can't just pick and choose.
I don’t see such of a distinction between technology and us. We build, drive and continue our overflow this tech. It’s an extension of us inspired by how our own brains work.
I can’t believe I didn’t know until today that Nvidia remains founder lead.
That’s kind of my point in framing the question like that - we know WalMart and how ubiquitous it is (in America) and how it makes money, and it’s “moat” so it’s not a sexy business, but a totally solid one. So is what the market is pricing in really becoming silly now? I think Nvidia has a huge competitive advantage but I also think it could be undone within 3 years or so given how much money is now at stake. The other side of that is that I wouldn’t want to try and build a better WalMart inside three years.

My ultimate worry is that Nvidia is becoming so overcooked now that it could pull the whole of the Nasdaq down when it blows, and that won’t be good for any of us.

I believe you, but it's too fine a distinction to make a difference on the important point. Your account has obviously been primarily (even exclusively) focused on this one topic for quite a while now. That's not allowed on HN because if we did allow it, HN would dramatically shift towards becoming a current-affairs site, which is not its mandate.

This is not to say that the topic doesn't matter. Of course it matters, a great deal—more than almost anything that gets discussed here. But that not only doesn't change the above point, it makes it even more important.

As I said the last time I replied to you, I appreciate that your comments have mostly not been breaking the site guidelines in other ways. But the "primarily" rule applies regardless.

I don't want to ban you as you've been here a long time and have used the site as intended in the past. But I have to go quite a long way back into the past before that becomes visible. This is not ok.
A bad CEO can look great on paper and in the stock price. The product however will likely not keep pace, charging more for a product providing less value.

Long term value, employee satisfaction, and customer satisfaction are all intertwined. New management is more likely than not to harm at least one of those 3 .
Given that the weather models are working on grid sizes 5km and up [1], and we often only get a report for a rough location like a whole city, meaning the prediction needs to be valid for 10s of square km, while our own personal observation range is often just a couple hundred square meters, I am not surprised that my personal sampling of a small area does not match the averaged prediction for a much larger area.

But, having said that, temperature predictions seem to be fairly ok up to a week out. Rain is something else, but since we got our dog, I don't care any longer so much. I need to go out anyway ;-) And then I just take a look at the actual rain-radar data for my location to check the actual situation and the outlook for the next hour or so.

That's quite interesting, would you be willing to share any sources?

I wouldn't be surprised if the term SQL/MED had been spoken in healthcare/medicine circles (I worked in that industry before). That said, it's the first time I've ever seen anyone connect the term/concept specifically to medicine as the driver for the term.

I'm actually someone who has gone deep down the SQL rabbit hole (I worked for a company that built a data federation platform previously), I'd be interested to read more if you can share.

My apologies, I thought the confusion of the acronym simple came from the "MED" part, which as I mentioned, stands for "management of external data".

In that respect we are in complete agreement :)

after taking a look at the src[0] it looks like you can share sequences by adding a hash.

While I have done this, problem is most people don’t view health insurance as a cost they should cover in any capacity.

Most employers aren’t really providing much “healthcare value” when compared to simply going on the exchange directly.
Why do people always have to preface Elon praise with some initial criticism. The man has objectively created some incredible businesses.
It depends on the counter offer and your situation. I would have agreed with you, but a couple years ago I told my employer that I had a job offer kind of land in my lap (I wasn't actively looking), that it was good and I was inclined to take it. I wasn't unhappy at my current job, but the change in title/seniority and compensation of the job offer was definitely worth it. They didn't want me to leave, so they countered with a very strong offer, which I decided to take and stay with the company. If you want to leave because you're unhappy with other aspects of your job, then I agree that accepting a counter offer doesn't seem like a great choice.

In the issue of abysmal performance on cloud-compute/PaaS Im talking about the container runtime (most Paas is gVisor or Firecracker, no?) cloudrun, DO, modal, etc.

But given this article is about improving gvisors userland tcp performance significantly, it seems like the netstack stuff causes major performance losses too.

I saw a github link in another top article today https://github.com/misprit7/computerraria where the Readme's Pitch section feels very relevant to gvisor.
> Content creators are doing a purposeful slight of hand to confabulate "outputting copyrighted data" with "training on copyrighted data".

I don't think so, I think it's usually argued as two different things.

The "training on copyrighted data" argument is usually that we never licensed this work for this sort of use and it is different enough from previously licensed uses that it should be treated differently.

The "outputting copyrighted data" argument is somewhat like your output is so similar as to constitute a (at least) partial copy.

Another argument is that licensed data is whitewashed by being run through a model. So you could have GPL licensed code that is open source run through a model and then output exactly the same but because it has been outputted by the model it is considered "cleaned" from the GPL restrictions. Clearly this output should still be GPL:ed.

> It's not illegal for me to read an NYT article and write my own summary of the article's contents on my blog. This has been true forever and has forever been a staple in new content creation.

What if I compress the NYT article with gzip? What if I build a LLM model that always replies with the full article within 99% accuracy? Where is the line?

This is not a technical issue, we need to decide on this just like we did with copyright, trademarks, etc. Regardless of what you think this is not a non-issue and we cant use the same rules as we did up until now unless we treat all ML systems as either duplication or humans and neither seems to solve the issues.
They wouldn't know how to fix the thermostat if I design the thermostat with huge amounts of obscurity, to the point where the heater doesn't even turn on without a secret key being sent to it, the heater has obscure security screws, and if the screws are breached, fart spray in sugar syrup gets released followed by a huge gust of feathers coated in itching powder. Bitter melon juice would be sprayed into the occupant's mouth via a computer vision controlled system that uses a neural net to track the occupant's mouth. If they attempt to disconnect that system, a 2nd system instantly activates with jalapeno sauce. If the jalapeno sauce is disconnected, a 3rd system activates with habanero sauce.

The sprays could be made very difficult to disconnect. A new one would activate each day in a new location. If day 1 spray is disconnected, day 2 would be twice as much volume.

It has been shown on Youtube that fart spray does work for theft, it's time to deploy it as an actual product everywhere.
