Storage capacity has to be built along with solar and wind parks. Its already happening. But more investments are required ("more effective" than nuclear). And the electric grid must be decentralized further to accommodate decentralized storage (from your wall-box at home to industrial storage facilities). And it must not stop at borders.

Regenerative energy already surpassed all other means of energy production in 2024: https://www.bdew.de/media/documents/2024_12_18_Die_Energieve...

Battery prices are declining for some time now: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-10/electric-...

In order to 'write off' something, you have to take a financial loss; where's the tax fraud?
Ah I forgot his money has nothing to do with tesla and he doesn't run tesla or have a huge stake in it. And he in no way benefits from how future tax changes affect them, right?
> But don't take it as an overview of what the case is actually about, because it's not that.

The focus of the blog post was not the case as a whole, it was to call out one specific argument made by a DOJ attorney in a legal brief. In fact, it quite explicitly eschews going into the ultimate point of the case ("The specifics of what the government claims Saine did wrong (in short: arcane labor law) are beside the point").

It isn't fair to judge the post as an "overview of what the case is actually about", because it was never attempting to be that.
In case you're not trolling (and it's really hard to tell), those makefiles are for building projects whose source code is written using C or C++. The projects they are building are things like the Java runtime, Go runtime, or the Rust compiler, but they are not building projects whose source code is written in Java, or Rust, or Go etc...

What people are claiming is that make is used as a build system for projects whose source code is written in C or C++.
Before I finally got covid I read about the nausea and vomiting symptoms and thought they must be rare. What kind of respiratory infection does that?

Then I got it and my stomach was a mess for 6–8 weeks or so. Oddly it got bad after the infection began to subside. It was the worst part by a long shot.

Just how many actual “rank and file employees” have actually been targeted or fired so far?

If you are going to bring up the RTO directive, please don’t, those folks are in full control of their continued employment and prior to March of 2020 having to actually go to an office to work would not be viewed as “targeting” anyone.
This is a massive oversimplification. The taxes and regulations are simply handled at a lower level of government. If you've ever lived in a large Texas metro, you would know it's not the wild west it gets portrayed as. Lots of places that give off serious California NIMBY vibes and that are relatively expensive. The difference is that taxation and government services are typically handled via property tax and delivered locally instead of at the state level.

California and Texas have a lot more in common than people who've only lived in one or the other think. Texas just happens to be growing very quickly and is in some ways more geopolitically important at the moment (energy and exports and semiconductors and finance), which (besides less business regulation) is a big reason for the outflow from Cali and other states to Texas.

It isn't Hollywood accounting, it is just that Tesla isn't very profitable once the proper accounting is done. If you tax profits and companies don't have a lot of them then they won't pay taxes. Particularly if the government puts tax incentives in place to encourage people to go in to solar and EVs.

> In what world is a massively profitable company paying almost nothing in taxes polarizing?

I mean they didn't just decide not to pay taxes. They followed the tax law. They accelerated some depreciation to take it now at the expense of a higher tax bill later. They took advantage of some government credits.

Corporate taxation is only one point of taxation. They pay payroll taxes, they pay sales tax on equipment they purchase at their factories, their employees pay taxes when they get paid.

Low corporate tax rates are unpopular because the optics are bad, but it doesn't actually mean that money is flowing through the company and into their employees without taxation anywhere. As soon as they do nearly anything with that money other than buy more parts to sell, taxes are being paid.

Choose whatever. Go is fine. Ruby is fine. Next.js is fine. Python with Django is fine. Even Haskell is fine if your initial gang knows it well. You won't fail because of the tech.

Actually choosing something everyone is comfortable and confident in using is probably a good choice.

You may fail for too many innovation tokens though. If you go off the rails (ha ha ha) on tech stack maybe stick to postgres for storage and AWS for hosting.

You can start it with something like:

aider --architect --model o1 --editor-model sonnet

Then you'll be in "architect" mode, which first prompts o1 to design the solution, then you can accept it and allow sonnet to actually create the diffs.

Most of the time your way works well—I use sonnet alone 90% of the time, but the architect mode is really great at getting it unstuck when it can't seem to implement what I want correctly, or keeps fixing its mistakes by making things worse.
OK. But don't take it as a fair overview of what that one specific argument is about, either. A lawyer on a case, during the case, isn't going to give you a fair treatment of any aspect of the case - not in public.
It's interesting how we can frame "potentially automating tasks" in the most sinister conceivable way. The same argument applies to essentially all technology, like a computer.
They are doing something inexcusably worse than complaining about something bad that happened to them.

What you right here just did, was exactly whining and complaining, except not even about anything that happened to you or that you have to deal with.
Who's to say no one appreciates it? And even if it were unappreciated, that doesn't make it any less worthwhile to the person working on it if that's what they choose to do with their time. Not every project needs to live forever with a bustling community and updates. You can quietly work on something, finish it one day, be proud of your work, and put it online for others to admire (or not). That's plenty enough of a purpose and reason to build these things IMO.
Context length possibly. Prompt adherence drops off with context, and anything above 20k tokens is pushing it. I get the best results by presenting the smallest amount of context possible, including removing comments and main methods and functions that it doesn't need to see. It's a bit more work (not that much if you have a script that does it for you), but the results are worth it. You could test in the chatgpt app (or lmarena direct chat) where you ask the same question but with minimal hand curated context, and see if it makes the same mistake.
There's no national ID card in Australia, and the law specifically (because there was a large outcry against it) disallows providers from only allowing the use of official ID to verify age.

Because the reality of course is, if you absolutely had to determine how old someone is...you'd ask for their ID. That's how pubs do it, and someone somewhere has had the galaxy-brain idea of going "well, sometimes bouncers just know so like, can't a computer do that?" without really thinking through the constraints of the problem (or that an absolute ton of underage people still get through).

EDIT: It's worth adding - ID cards don't work for this either. The most obvious thing to do is just photoshop the ID you send whoever. But that of course creates a real problem for the "protecting the kids" people. Modern AI would let you run a client-side web-app which would fake an ID for you, but legally the issue with fake ID is that it's considered "forging official documents" which is a crime on the part of the person doing it not the person being fooled by it.

Which in turn means that your "protect the kids" policy is actually a "prosecute the kids policy" if you setup a situation where a bunch of people are pretty likely to think (without knowing the ramifications) that they should just send a fake ID image.

The issue was that at the time not only were the targets achievable but that internal forecasts already had them on track to achieve those targets and in a faster time frame than Elon presented in his package demand.

The B-21 Raider will cost $700 million apiece. The US Air Force will buy about 100. During WWII the best bomber of the war (so somewhat the equivalent of the B-21 for the time) was the B-29, and the US built 4000 of those. And many, many more of other types of bombers. How did we get from there to here?

Musk's company meanwhile is churning out rockets like there's no tomorrow. They are at number 35 of the super huge one, the Starship, although rumors are that they are currently in various stages of build with 4 more.
Solar in Germany makes no sense. A third of the year the country is plunged into darkness.

Damore was very clear that he did not believe women are objectively inferior engineers. What should we take away from the fact that so many repeat something he did not say and did not mean, and what should we do with people who misrepresent someone's easily accessible views? In fact, he thought it was so important that people understood that he was not saying this that near the beginning of his memo, he posted an image of two overlapping normal distributions that makes his point (wrong or right) very clear.

I think the fact that people have to resort to misunderstanding and misleading about what people like him say is very telling about the "religious" status of these beliefs. You see the same type of apologetics when Christians try to attack atheism.

NB: This post is not an endorsement of anything Damore said.
I think people underestimate how the nature of current generative AI products is simply based on what extremely large corpuses of data are available. Text, photos, video, audio. This is the easy stuff, the first step.

Replacing a 2019 Toyota Rav4 with a 2025 Tesla in North America, or.....

Replacing a 1985 VW Jetta with a 2019 Toyota Rav4 in India?

I see YouTube videos all the time where people in third world countries are using turn of the century hit-and-miss engines to power things like water pumps or machine tools. These countries are leaking countless gallons of oil and fuel into the ground using engines and equipment that are over 100 years old when Habor Freight sells brand new engines for $150.

To me, the ease with which you can sell a new car to a yuppy in the USA (who doesn't even need a new car) is baffling. Dollar for dollar, there is so much low hanging fruit. Don't get me wrong, I want to see first world countries lead the charge, but yuppys need to be more realistic in their "environmental" decision making. There is nothing frugal or environmental about having a 20" touch screen in the dash, or replacing your >5 year old car.

The technologically inclined will persist in pushing back against egregious changes in their daily routine.

The technologically disinclined or illiterate will continue to be oblivious, and simply use whatever is placed before them.

If this were not true, then app stores wouldn't have so much malware easily available to the masses. It wouldn't be profitable to release such things. It is profitable.

The masses will continue to amass stupidity as a miser amasses coin.
That makes no sense, the integral of the tax credit is always the total value of the asset so it doesn't matter unless there are relevant tax brackets here? Businesses can also carryforward losses right?

If by "be considered insane by society", you mean "find each other, attract new members, mobilize, and vote", I'd say you're spot on.

I've been using this with Perplexity.ai (Pro model touts 'Deepseek R1 - US Hosted') and maybe having web search shoved into the context window affects its behavior but it certainly doesn't refuse to talk about sensitive topics like June 4th [1], Taiwan [2], or the '08 Sichuan quake [3]

I did notice Perplexity switched models on me once after the first message! Have to make sure the "Pro" dropdown is selected R1 each message. I've had a detailed back and forth where I pasted python tracebacks to have R1 rewrite the code and came away very impressed [4]. Unfortunately saved conversations don't retain the thought-process so you can't see how it debugged its own error where numpy and pandas weren't playing along. I got my result of 283 zip codes that cover most of the 50 states with a hundred mile radius from each zip, plus a script to draw a map of the result [5]. (Later R1 helped me write a script to crawl dealership addresses using this list of zips and a "locate dealers" JSON endpoint left open)

This. There is something doubly evil about OpenAI harvesting all of that work for its own economic benefit, while also destroying the opportunity for those it stole from to continue to ply their craft.
Right, wasm is the low energy path. IMO you should think about this problem-space of the Web as an evolutionary system, with costs weighting all the paths through a graph from current state to future state.

MS throwing money at C# native VM (the CLR? Silverlight's DLR? lol) as second VM in browsers, with separate GCs bridged, incurring the write barrier overhead that I cited already? In all browsers, not just the ones MS can bribe to do the considerable work? No.

C# compiled to WebAssembly? One GC, all good, perhaps some warm evolution is on order, but it is an incremental cost.
What people don't seem to realize is that the business cycle today mirrors your average ponzi scheme.

The company has a product, gets loans based on said product. The terms are front-loaded according to your standard S-adoption curve which under some representations mirrors a Ponzi curve.

The debt taken must eventually be repaid. The bankers know this which is why they loan to these entities to begin with, and I'm sure they get kickbacks when the debt defaults as it almost always does from market manipulation. Then someone comes in buys everything up for pennies on the dollar to enhance their monopoly.

Non-reserve debt issuance is money printing. The business either fails later when it should have failed overnight, or it becomes or gets acquired by a silent state actor that can be coerced.

This is the ugly reality. Bankers get rich off the usury, and bailouts, the market shrinks and dies. Eventually products vanish, and once you realize the game as an actual producer you stop playing into their hands.

When the entire environment is disadvantaged from the get-go, you stop participating, you withhold your intellect, and strike. Keeping the fruits of your mind for yourself, and others of like mind.

You are not imposing destruction by doing this, you are getting out of the way, because eventually the bill always comes due, and parasites kill their hosts and then die themselves.

Then 56% is even more impressive. Example: if 80% choose randomly and 20% choose carefully, that implies an 80% preference rate for o3-mini (0.8*0.2 + 0.5*0.8 = 0.56)

This doesn't make sense. I, for one (transitioning to Linux usage only gradually), haven't been aware of the systemd and its criticism, and I'm grateful for the info. Then, the informed users can vote with their feet. Things change all the time, and only mass adoption/usage is what makes a given distribution to be mainstream or niche.

So, please do continue to criticize, continue to raise awareness. That's useful.
At the very least, corporations must realize that they only function due to the commons. Tesla needs people to have roads to drive on, no? They require their supplies, workers, and goods to travel by roads to facilitate the work they do. Can't the company chip in a bit to ensure Americans have the infrastructure required to use their products?

It's arguably negligent to stockholders to run a socially unsustainable business, but they look at things in terms of quarters rather than 10 years from now, so...
Good advice. I ran an academic lab for a long time, read and reviewed a lot of papers, and trained students to read them. My process is as follows.

In order, and quickly, I look at the abstract, the picture at the top of page 2 (unless it was on page 1 like vision and graphics papers tend to do), the references, the conclusion, the lit review, if I’m still interested I try to scan the whole thing to decide what the main point of the paper is. Then if I care to, I start again and read it linearly start to finish.

If I’d agreed to review a paper, I don’t get to abort the process. Otherwise I can bail at any step.
