The trick is to buy a used Tesla you’ve had inspected and taken for a test drive. This, mostly, avoids lemons and chronic issues.

Probably you need to submit to a different journal. It is not indeed a theoretically interesting contribution but it is definitely a very interesting practical application. Many journals would welcome your contribution.
I suppose then the next question will be which author gets to choose the hash function..

Your original premise here was that 90% of these investments fail. You need to invest in the ones that fail to get the good ones. You can appreciate this dynamic when the funds are privately managed.
UGH this reminds me I have one of those fricking Warrants, for 19 cents, sitting on my desk. I finally found out that mobile deposit can't handle them because they have no account number whatsoever -- merely a routing number and a check number, so the 'check processing' system can't make any sense of them.

(I need to deposit it because I want to get my full name and address out of the unclaimed property register, for obvious privacy reasons)
Ah, but that’s assuming that things can’t go from bad to worse, which is a potentially fatal mistake to make.
400 km/h seems to be practical. China started building trains that can go that fast. They must already have lines that support that speed, cause upgrading lines is the huge expense.

There is less advantage to increasing speed. Is it worth the cost of maglev Shinkansen to save 30 minutes? How long would 400 km/h rail take instead? Maglevs have disadvantage that need dedicated route, while high speed rail can take existing rail into cities.
I actually find it a bit nauseating.

I do not, for a single second, believe that Musk is doing this for altruistic reasons.
I expect that could be mostly solved by changing the billing metric, pay for the ampacity of the hookup not the energy.
I had the same experience but in the Netherlands. This was after flying through Miami and London with the same tool. Totally forgot it was on me.
I don't think the Agents/LLM become the UI, they are going to be the orchestrators, but a well though UI is always going to be more useful than having to chat/write words so that an agent can help you.

It's gonna be: reusable saas components + ai orchestrator + specialized UI

On a related note, there's probably gonna be an extinction level event in the software industry as there's no software moat anymore.

When every application, every feature, every function can be replicated/reproduced by another company in a matter of minutes / hours using AI tools, you don't have a moat anymore.
Reminds me of the Japanese sen and how it was discontinued post WW2 for becoming too negligible.

If I'm scrolling up/down and the page is reacting by scrolling left/right, I want to throw my mouse at the screen. Maybe it makes sense if all you have is a scroll wheel, but I haven't had one of those in over a decade.
I agree that's a problem to be discerning about - and it may be impossible to be discerning about - I also think people are looking for any reason to just "index" and purchase the S&P 500 or VOO ETFs

like A) from being ineligible to be in hedge funds, and then B) to justify their fear

but hedge fund returns are not able to really be aggregated so simply, there have been attempts, I can pull up whatever article you're probably thinking about, but in real life if you join a hedge fund, you aren't joining a portfolio, your capital is applied to new positions.

so every subscription to a hedge fund has unique performance. only people that joined at the exact same time with the same amount of capital have a chance of having the same experience.

I think that reality muddies most of the discussion about the concept of hedge funds and investor returns.

You should definitely look for the strategy you like, followed by liking the people running the fund.

You forgot to capitalize the "h" in "he" in your last sentence.
> I know a lot of people hate global menubars but I’ve always loved them and it kills me that they’re not a practical option on the Linux desktop, despite ultimate customizability being one of the most frequently-cited reasons to use Linux as a desktop OS.

Isn't that the point? It's so customizable that app writers opt out of menubars. And the system menubar has no power over the apps.
They can’t do that, no matter how much corporations try.

I'm sure they will carve out exceptions for Uncle Toms like Vivek Ramaswamy, but if they get too uppity they'll be tossed out the airlock.
I thought the plan was to reduce the deficit/debt by reducing fraud and waste; not to eliminate 100% of fraud at the expense of the deficit/debt. You seem to be fine spending unlimited money to reduce fraud to 0, which is not what anyone else seems to want including Trump/Musk.

But I was not actually asking you to justify which is worse because the point I was making was I disagree with you — so what system do we use to resolve our differences?
Doug McIlroy Facts

Gee, at some point hard to tell if Elon is not just the guy on stage for whoever holds the (purse) strings.

To be fair, in tree tables, we also assume that comparison is a constant time operation as well when it also necessarily needs to be O(log(n)) for an arbitrary sized table, making it an O(log(n)^2) data structure by this standard.
Both Musk and Trump have "fuck you money". That is, enough to not care about consequences and to attract leeching sycophants. At best this leads to arrested development, at worst the lack of any need for introspection or grounding reality checks by others regresses their decision making.
Have the herd of wildbeest been hunting for room to stow their carry-on luggage?

> What’s impressive about Tesla?

The fact that it's worth more than all the other automakers combined.

> the other manufacturers are catching up

Re-read what you wrote, and consider how preposterous it is that automakers founded more than a century ago are now "catching up" to a company that sold its first car in 2008.
Also, you can't do it across the economy all at once. If you really wanted to build up domestic manufacturing, you'd pick a few small sectors that are either almost in the wheelhouse of existing domestic producers or simple enough that that production capability can be realistically developed from scratch in a few years, and then you tariff just those sectors while providing the aforementioned investment. Once you've gotten the results you're looking for, you expand to other sectors.

You don't do it to the whole economy at once because the negative economic effects of the tariffs will impede the very development you're hoping for, and because there's just not enough free labor, expertise, and funding to simultaneously develop domestic production of everything.
Given that it's being done through xAI, it seems reasonable to think that most parties from December's series C would also at least entertain the idea:

> A16Z, Blackrock, Fidelity Management & Research Company, Kingdom Holdings, Lightspeed, MGX, Morgan Stanley, OIA, QIA, Sequoia Capital, Valor Equity Partners and Vy Capital, amongst others. Strategic investors NVIDIA and AMD also participated and continue to support xAI in rapidly scaling our infrastructure.

Show HN: Mupt AI – Personalized Sports Media
Hi HN! Ben and I, roommates at Caltech, built an app (Mupt) that turns any sports query into a podcast:

- You ask a question (e.g., "What happened in last night's NBA games?")
- Our system researches it (stats, play-by-play data, articles)
- Generates a script
- Converts it into a podcast

Right now it works best for game recaps - ask about last night's games and get a 5-10 minute breakdown for your morning commute. The analysis is still basic but improving.
This is very early (only a few beta testers) and we're curious:

- What sports questions would you want answered in podcast form?
- When/where would you listen to these?
- What length feels right?

[Demo podcast: "What happened in the NBA Last Night"] | [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E1My7yjg3bDNmoJ8JOQgBOSu6pq...]

Looking forward to your feedback and use case ideas. The tech is raw but we think AI-generated sports audio could be interesting.
Well, not exactly fall apart but there were rust holes you could see through. It would have needed at least some welding to get through the mot and ideally a fair bit of bodywork stripped back and replaced.
Automated protection tools could also help in monitoring hedge funds, similar to how apps like BillGuard[1] worked for personal finance. Many investors don’t actively track their holdings the way they do with credit cards.

It'd be cool if people could upload their (anonymized) medical histories to a central database so that they could gain additional insights to help guide their care.

If you included some genetic information like race or national origin, this could help people learn about the genetics behind the disorders.

I have a connective tissue disorder that presents as Marfan syndrome, but I went to a geneticist at UCSF back in the 10's. He looked at Marfan's, Loeys-Dietz, Lujan-Fryns, Ehlers-Danlos, and a bunch of other disorders that would explain any part of my physical symptoms, my cardiovascular problems, and my skeletal issues - he found nothing.

"Trolling Edgelord" comes to mind for me. It's as if all this is one big joke to him, and he gets a kick out of everyone being upset by his antics.
Well, that's what happens when all the other options were invented by companies that are scheming to scam a cut of every transaction -- not to mention checks are the only way that doesn't require the receiver to give some awful private company all your information in order to get paid.
Fyi, it's quite common to have a paper rejected on the first (couple of) submission(s). With feedback along the lines of "not interesting enough", it's usually worth it trying it again somewhere else. Sounds like that venue was looking for methodological innovation within optimization, you could try it at a more domain-oriented outlet that would appreciate how your solution improves upon the SOTA for cloud resource selection.

What I'm also saying: just because you had a paper rejected once with a specific comment doesn't mean that every other paper where such a comment could vaguely fit needs to be rejected as well.
This.
In some places you used to be able to check your bags in advance. In Switzerland you could even check your bags at your local train station the day before so that you could just go to your flight and breeze through the airport.
Doesn't really seem fair that any one prompt proves your conclusion but it has to guess your exact number to prove my conclusion. Gemini guessed mine on the very first try (7) even though the range of numbers is infinite. Billions is small potatoes compared to what I've proven.

He didn't found PayPal either. He founded X.com, and they happened to merge with Confinity who owned the brand PayPal. Confinity existed before X.com (and had better brand recognition with PayPal), and if Musk would've had it his way, PayPal as brand wouldn't exist post-merge; it would have been called X.com.
I'm really not a fan of the image sequence that loads in the background and the scrolling of the page is hijacked to move between the "animation" scrolling the image sequence. If anything, that should be a left/right scroll when the element is active or at least on element:hover. Stopping the expected page scroll to now start "animating" this media element until the end which then releases the scrolling back into the expected behavior is clearly designed by sociopaths and sadists.
In my experience the best approach is to first try to solve the problem without having read the prior work, then read the prior work, then improve your approach based on the prior work.

If you read the prior work too early to you get locked into existing mindsets. If you never read it then you miss important things you didn’t thought of.

Even if your approach is less good than the prior work (the normal case) you gain important insights into why the state of the art approach is better by comparing it with what you came up with.
That deadly and dangerous substance kimchi. It killed 100m people last year!!!

Just kidding it’s not dangerous and killed zero people. It’s banned because we perform security theater not actual security.

There was no actual threat from liquid explosives, the plan would never have worked and we ban liquids not because they’re dangerous but because it’s a visible thing our screeners can be seen doing.
Well, Trump’s various meme coins also have a value…

But, using pricing fundamentals, can you really justify Tesla’s value anymore than OpenAIs?
The one bundled to google search is so poor quality that it is degrading google experience...
I probably misunderstand you but why should it be fundamentally about that and not fundamentally about controlling more valuable technology? The example of Twitter clearly demonstrates that despite the Dear Leader's altruistic claims, he's after money and power just the same as anyone else.
It's absurd to claim that you'd never use step(), even in pixel shaders (there are all kinds of shaders not related to pixels at all).
Not enough information. The ABA may choose not to issue criticism of the other side, even though their would be valid criticism available.

Or the other side might not do anything the ABA could object to.
No doubt he needs to distance himself from the company so that his political career stops impacting it so directly. The business is over valued but still very impressive. Yes the software is controversial, but the hardware is fantastic and a decade ahead of what other domestic automakers are doing. They’re also profitable and have a long term vision to innovate unlike many industry peers who chase the government mandate du jour.
Your take is radically empathetic, and we have seen (e.g. with Tony Hsieh) how it all unraveled.

I wonder if Shitter is a big factor in this spiral. Jaron Lanier pointed this out in Nov 2022 [1].

Unfortunately, if so, we have a worst-case scenario of "getting high on your own supply", and nobody can cut him off (or stage an "intervention").

You're forgetting how the Twitter acquisition actually went. Almost immediately after the contract was signed he started trying to weasel out of it with various absurd excuses. He only stopped trying to violate the purchase contract once it became clear he was almost certain to lose in court.
It's the perception of safety.

If DOGE was really about efficiency and cutting waste, TSA would be the first place they would be looking.

Nonsense. He's ignoring judges orders to cease and desist in his funding freezes and he's simultaneously attempting to seize control of the AI company through an aggressive acquitision, all the while avoid seemingly all oversight.

This can only be described as techno authoritarianism.
Perhaps it was a warning to the naive that might take the article at face value to perhaps reconsider? What is obvious to you, might not be to another. I'd say there are a sizable amount of viewers of this forum are either on the fence or view OpenAI favorably.

And also back to part two of what I said, there's network effects to grumbling. I'd also add, there's a chilling effect to apathy.
That's exactly why I'm here scrolling, finding your comment, yes. TFA is way too 'pop sci', but I know the paper will be too much for me at midnight, if not ever, so where's my 'explain it like I know what a hash table is' story?
We've gone from "unprecendented times" to "constitutional crisis" to now.

The canaries are wheezing and our country is in the midst of a full-on coup.

...but I gotta put together this microservices design because that matters I guess.

We all know humanity won't last another 100 years and it seems like our government (as a representational, constitutional, democratic-republic) probably won't last another 100 days.
I'm so happy this is actually a thing that lots of people like and locals take pride in. It was such a delightful surprise to see it after coming through security on my way back from a stressful business trip to Kenosha, my first time in the state. I took note of it, sent a photograph of the sign to my wife and various friends who enjoy little bits of clever language, and took off for home with a really warm impression of Wisconsin.
Yeah, except when you criticize the tsar.
I guess I didn't realize that when Elon said that Twitter was going to be the "Everything App" that he meant he was just going to buy and control everything.
I welcome this with open arms.

> Wait, what's wrong with this view? Wasn't exactly refuted in any way, despite proclamations by the more "embodied cognition" folks, whose beliefs are to me just a religion trying to retroactively fit to modern science to counter diminishing role of human soul at the center of it.

It's unfalsifiable, that's what's wrong with it. Sure, you could be a brain in a jar experiencing a simulated world, but there's nothing useful about that worldview. If the world feels real, you might as well treat it like it is.

> My point is to highlight that, for most of what we call today knowledge, which isn't tied to directly experiencing a phenomena in question, we're not learning in ways fundamentally different to what LLMs are doing

I get what you're trying to say -- nobody can derive everything from first principles, which is true -- but your conclusion is absolutely not true. Humans don't credulously accept what we're given in a true/false binary and spit out derived facts.

All knowledge is an approximation. There is very little absolute truth. And we're good at dealing with that.

Humans learn by building up mental models of how systems work, understanding when those models apply and when they don't, understanding how much they can trust the model and understanding how to test conclusions if they aren't sure.

LLMs can't do any of that.
>What’s impressive about Tesla?

There is this weird revisionist history now that Musk is hated to dismiss all Tesla's accomplishments as meaningless. The traditional auto industry would have never embraced EVs to the extent they have if someone did not disrupt the market in a way like Tesla did. That is both impressive and huge net positive for humanity in a way that is an extremely rare achievement for any startup.
+1 on using Cursor rules. In general I feel that Cursor definitely has a fairly steep learning but is a great product if you can move up it.
Because you can also have additional restrictions (for example cumulative capacities) in which case the Hungarian method is not valid anymore.

In real life you rarely encounter the vanilla book version of a problem.

Algorithmic approaches tend to break completely if your problem does not follow the exact assumptions.

Model based approaches are more flexible. You just add more variables and constraints, and you use the same solver.
