- Explored low-resource ML techniques to address data scarcity.

Open to full-time research and engineering roles.
For me, it was just looking at the garbage he started spewing online. I gave him the benefit of the doubt when the MSM turned on him, but wow, his tweets are really bad.

I always said a hefty sales tax (50%? 100%? 200%?) on final sale of any product containing just a single Universal Machine which has artificial designs/locks that prevent the owner from replacing any and all firmware/software with versions he has authored, and/or which lacks complete enough documentation of design and interfaces that would enable a knowledgable and capable owner to author his own software/firmware. This should apply to PCs, phones, watches, microwaves, televisions, CPAP machines, automobiles, toasters... everything which contains a Universal Machine. Uncontrolled [by owner] Universal Machines are a national security concern which has the potential to turn grave at any moment.
Isn't that like being the second tallest guy in Japan?
This is probably it. They do not discriminate types of engagement - blocking or unfollowing is still engagement, and some team is probably gaming their numbers by intentionally not discriminating.

It seems doubtful that the tax credit will help. I think these things just have a really bad reputation and people don't want to be laughed at for spending $80K on one. (not to mention the CEO's bad reputation)
> rare to see, on the other hand, someone insert themselves into politics quite so loudly, and in such an extreme way.

Publicly sure. I assume it’s always been this way though. And I’m more concerned about the ones we’re unaware of.
Look, every company goes through a lifecycle; tech companies go through them faster.

But I’m in my mid 30’s and will probably use Facebook (very casually) for life.

I’ve bought multiple products from their ads; they’ve got my profile zero’ed in, and that suits me perfectly.

Every week I go on it for 5 minutes, see my friends’ baby pictures and a handful of products that are perfect for me. That’s much better than most sites.

As to recruiting 20-somethings, I’m not convinced that’s crucial to any established business, and even if it were - there are tons of boring businesses that hire smart 20-somethings every day.
Can LLMs write better code if you keep asking them to "write better code"?

Personal attacks may go on reddit. Don't do that here.

Even more: He made a reasonable reply. You answered with an ad hominem. When you don't actually answer, it makes it look like you can't actually answer.
Two reasons, there are very few electric trucks on the market and the ones that exist are not great or had terrible marketing around them.
I wonder if we'll ever get the truth behind its reason for being and its design choices? Maybe that will be the domain of historians.
I don't mean to disagree, but I think it's worth pointing out that with today's tech, it wouldn't be difficult for an attacker to also scan the stickers and print them out on sticker paper using a color printer, all in minutes. And the technology for doing that is only getting better. Just a thought.
> He's only extreme if your view points are extreme left

Musk's policy positions are all over the political compass. While I wouldn't call him a right-wing extremist (that's where Loomer et al live), he's certainly a right winger in the political company he keeps and supports.

BYD's EV sales in Q4 were 595,413 in contrast to Tesla's 495,570.
The naming of "rand_a" and "rand_b" in the spec is a bit misleading. They don't have to be generated randomly. I'm sure there's a historical reason for it.

"extra_" or "distinct_" would be a more accurate prefix for UUIDv7.

UUIDv7 is actually quite a flexible standard due to these two underspecified fields. I'm glad Postgres took advantage of that!
I would never install anything advertised on youtube. Not claiming that I'm an elitist, but the audience on youtube would not have the ability to differentiate between a chocolate bar and a landmine.
I'd argue inflation and high interest rates have a large impact too. When every day necessities (shelter, food, healthcare, education) are +30% at a minimum, there's not a lot leftover for fancy cars for most Americans.
Not to mention that even if you can afford a Tesla, my understanding is that the non-Tesla market has just gotten much better than it was over the last few years.
What even make you stay so long? It's been an targetted ad platform full of scammy ads for much longer than that
Plausible - sort of. I have never 'liked' a booby photo, and it's true probably lots of those guys have.

FWIW, booby photos are verboten in those groups/group chats. The owners try hard to keep things topically relevant.
> When you increase activity, over the course of weeks, the body adjusts and does everything it can to not touch those fat stores.

Your body doesn't adjust endlessly. The technique to continue to shift body composition is called progressive overload, this isn't outdated and is the basis of most athletic training regimens.

Again I want to reiterate that no one is suggesting that diet isn't the foundation of fitness and controlling body composition. I am simply and factually stating that you can use exercise as a lever to achieve a calorie deficit. Arguing otherwise is to argue against thermodynamics, moving your body consumes energy and you body simple cannot achieve perfect efficiency.
> It's insurance.

It's rubbish. The circumstances that would make it even theoretically useful are rare and in practice it doesn't even work then. There is no reason to pay good money so you can be insured against alien abductions under a policy whose terms won't pay out even if you somehow actually get abducted by aliens.

> This is correct. But SMS 2FA is better than no 2FA.

The alternatives to SMS 2FA don't just include no 2FA, they also include any of the better 2FA alternatives to SMS.

Choosing SMS is like saying we should all bottle our urine in case we need something to drink later. There's juice and soda in the fridge and a tap full of water right over there, don't be crazy.

> The attacks you speak of are targeted attacks, where the victim and phone number are known.

How do you mean? Anyone who can snoop SMS gets a list of usernames and passwords from a data breach, tries them all against a hundred services, when that user exists on that service the service says "we sent SMS to your phone number at xxx-xxx-4578" so the attacker looks for any SMS code to any phone number ending in 4578 in the last ten seconds. Even if they don't have the phone number from the data breach, most commonly there is only one matching message, if there are two or three they just try all of them, and now they've compromised thousands of accounts on a hundred services because SMS is such rubbish.

On top of that, the targeted attacks also work against SMS. If you know the target's phone number you don't need to be able to capture every SMS to compromise them using SIM swapping or any of the other numerous vulnerabilities SMS 2FA is susceptible to.

> It's not snake oil, however.

It's a proposed solution with negligible or negative benefits over known alternatives. That's snake oil.
Same. I wish we can go back to the time of "I respectfully disagree with my esteemed opponent".

More than anything I'd just be embarrassed to drive in a Tesla. I can't believe the level of brand damage he did in such a short period of time.
> Publicly sure. I assume it’s always been this way

Then you're misreading history. You have to go back to the age of the robber barons to find private individuals with the power to shut down the government [1].

Also, I wonder if the reference doesn't land because Mikkelson doesn't have the musical skill for it? He sounds to me like he's struggling to hit a few of the notes and some of the more complicated timing marks. Which isn't a slight to Mikkelson so much as I think Miranda has a bad habit of writing songs far too complex for the actors that eventually get asked to sing them and we're in the Disney era where they aren't casting separate singers from voice actors or casting singers first over Name actors. (That was one of the tricks to the "Disney Renaissance" era that Disney seems to have forgotten.)

The most obvious/egregious case being in Moana where in the movie The Rock has fun with but kind of struggles against "You're Welcome" and Miranda himself unfairly sings it over the End Credits just so you know how it sounds like as it was intended to be sung without the compromise of passing it off to a fun Name actor. (Less egregiously/obviously, it is also why "Shiny" is kind of unfair as the villain song in the same movie, because Jemaine Clement as we know from Flight of the Conchords has the raw talent to pull it off and does pull it off, even with Miranda trying to throw him curve balls.)
I'm being tongue in cheek, for sure. Let's pretend I said "ideally" instead, as in, "ideally the product would function this way".

I admittedly wouldn't be the target audience for this concept, nor would I take up wireheading. When I see the huge success of Character.ai or the above SocialAI though, I'm really convinced there's a market segment of people younger than us who get a lot out of communicating with virtual "friends".
The upside of having an outspoken public figure at the head is that he's in charge and takes ownership. It's pretty wild that you can have some failure in your Tesla, and you can just tweet about it and if its a compelling issue you'll get the CEO to respond and address it directly. Imagine trying to get the attention of someone from Ford.

I don't know if you can have it both ways. Either you're a faceless soulless corporation and you're dealing with PR people and can't get a straight answer, or you're dealing with someone in founder mode but you'll have to hear their political opinions if you choose to use the social media platform they also own.

In other words, I don't think him being eccentric and generally disagreeable is unrelated to him building great products and companies. I wish more founders were eccentric and taking risk rather than trying to squeeze out every last dime of profits by outsourcing or cutting corners or the million other marginal things an MBA program will teach you to do.
The test is a very strange example indeed. Is it testing the backend, the database or both? If the api was guaranteeing ordered values, pre-uuid7 the backend must have sorted them by other means before returning, making the test identical. If the backend is not guaranteeing order, that shouldn't be tested either.
It's certainly an unconventional design. I have mixed feelings about it from that aspect.

I think the main thing is they launched a $100k truck when the initial hype was for a $40k truck. It also doesn't help that electric vehicle sales seem to be in the gutter for all US automakers.
*Unsuccessfully* claiming that large language models are separate legal entities
Not that surprising. The design you either love or hate, its one of those designs that will forever be remembered. Along with that, the price tag was pretty steep for what I saw as little to no innovation. If they had delivered on the promised range it would have been different.

> Do you really think that being at odds with both extreme ends of the political spectrum is a bad thing?

He's also at odds with much of the centre. Musk picks fights, and not particularly strategically. The comment about his lack of social skills is spot on.

A brief history of the RFC format (2021)
That's too binary. You can dislike Musk without disliking Tesla, and vice versa.

I think it's rather pointless to avoid companies led by people with politics I dislike, because that is nearly all of them. Hell, I wouldn't have been able to see a movie or watch a TV show for years.
Helion (2021)
I've seen a few ads from them on YouTube promoting their ad blocker, specifically touting that it gets around YouTube's efforts to block ad blockers.

I thought it was interesting that YouTube, in the midst of trying to crack down on ad blockers, allows ads promoting an ad blocker that is specifically claiming to evade that crackdown.
This was predictable. It's just too ostentatious to be a big seller. Elon himself predicted it; even before launch he was saying:

"To be frank, there is always some chance that Cybertruck will flop, because it is so unlike anything else.

I don’t care. I love it so much even if others don’t."

He never said anything similar about Tesla's other products.

https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1415733231589097472

At every earnings call including the most recent one Tesla keeps saying "Plans for new vehicles, including more affordable models, remain on track for start of production in the first half of 2025." Note the plural on "affordable models". So that is what will make or break their sales growth for the next few years. Progress on FSD may also contribute if it continues to accelerate the way it did in the last 6 months with v12 and v13. Cybertruck will not be material.
We have had "FDE" and secure boot with TPM in higher-than-commercial (defense) and the higher end of commercial settings for Linux, BSD, and illumos since TPM 1.2 was available, and I'd have to dig in some places to confirm but probably before Windows did in actual practice anywhere (let alone officially).

Yeah, Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, etc didn't have this, but as the saying goes: you get what you pay for. Although enough of the Gentoo users (the real Gentoo users) have such a thing had it around that time too, if they wanted it (and they tend to put together what they want).

Some essential context: if you think the "Linux community" is elitist, wait until you see the niche commercial (and higher) players. I'm probably an example of such, to be fair.

Not great so far.

I've applied to about 5 jobs on Upwork and the clients still haven't even hired anyone.

The year is just starting, hopeful still.
I ordered one, but it's dramatically more expensive (50% more?) than what I signed up for. Either Tesla cant make them for less, or they are milking their pricing cascade strategy a little further. Until we see parking lots full of unsold inventory, we can reasonably assume it's still production constrained.
Why do you appreciate building an ad network?

Like good for him I guess but it doesn't make me happier.
> I don't think him being eccentric and generally disagreeable is unrelated to him building great products and companies

Within the domain of the private sector, yes. The paedo comments were distasteful, but that's about it.

That changed when he became a political figure. (And a partisan one at that.) Musk, the brand, has fundamentally changed in a way that more resembles Soros or Murdoch than the bipartisan tech titan he was.
Understanding the Language Server Protocol
Maybe we are thinking of different things, but my first thought was "We don't have DNI down yet for VR."
VC firms often have recruiters that are familiar with the stage and quality of their portfolio amd can provide warm introductions. Last go round I gave them my criteria (no moonshots, solid revenue, post series A, no crypto) and had several quickly lined up.
> most notably that many of the properties attributed to System 1 and System 2 don’t actually line up with the evidence, that dual-process theories are largely unfalsifiable, and that most of the claimed support for them is “confirmation bias at work”

The article absolutely does not agree that S1 is lower cost than S2, as the article does not agree that S2 exists at all.
He isn’t being read as being at odds with the extremes, he is seen as extreme. I personally don’t think he’s extremist, he reminds me of myself when I was an edgy, poorly socialised 12 year old except with billions of dollars. Hence the comment about social skills.

To your second question, I’m not sure where you’re getting that I would think that so I’m unsure how to respond in a helpful way.
I need the audio streamed in - usually white/brown noise. This blocks out distractions. 30 years ago perhaps people could do 'knowledge work' without these, but most of the people I know who did knowledge work years ago - lawyers, accountants, architects - they all had private offices they could go do heads down work in. 'Open office' plans seem to have ruined this. I spent years in the late 90s in open office plans trying to build web applications, sandwiched in between ad sales and project management people, constantly on the phone. Worked fine for them - they were often on phone calls. But those phone calls bled over in to my ears - unwelcomed - and created constant interruptions and context switching.

The 'underlying anxiety' might be because there's far more noise in our environments - inside and outside - than there was a couple generations ago? More traffic, bigger cars, leaf blowers, lawn mowers, more airplanes. More people in smaller open plan offices... None of these are really under my control. Wearing head phones to block that stuff out is under my control.

Listening to actual music with words or podcasts while trying to work would, in fact, be worse for me, and I think for many folks. Unsure how people do that, but white noise blocking does help many folks.
I've heard that complaint from second gen immigrants. First gen don't seem to mind quite as much. (Just my observation - my wife also holds this view)

Performative interest in diversity is condescending and othering. Well, performative interest period can be condescending and othering, regardless of the topic.
