>Elon's wealth is mostly in the things he has built himself

This is straight up wrong. Musk built Zip2 with his father's money, but everything beyond that has been built off of investing money he received from Zip2's sale to Compaq and any wealth accumulated since then. He's funding ideas, but don't lie to yourself and say that he's building them himself.
Genuine question: are people genuinely against the work being done by DOGE? I am frequenting both X and HN + other liberal leaning news sources, and it's like the people in the comments are living in different solar systems.

I see a post on X with receipts showing millions of dollars of pretty obvious waste and/or corruption, many involving news outlet grants and subscriptions, including names, amounts, etc. Then I see some tearjerker story about families of USAID workers on one of the beneficiary news outlets. And in the comments, people lamenting that Elon Musk's success is only due to luck and his estranged father's defunct gem mine. Or worrying Elon will use their SSN (which is already available on the dark web) to open a credit card.

You're pretty smart people. Do we really think auditing government spending by a super-competent outsider is a bad thing? The last time it was done was by Clinton, btw, who managed to create a surplus (granted, the debt situation was nothing compared to today). And before that, Truman, back before hyper-partisan politics. I can't imagine the level of grift back then was anywhere close to today in our bloated budget. I'm optimistic, and I think y'all need to relax.
I agree, but I believe the reason for the errors is because people intuitively have a pretty good grasp of the game theory for the situation where someone is trying not to give you something they promised (and it's the sort of thing where IRL you shouldn't believe somebody trying to convince you to change your mind, so it's a useful bias to ignore parts of the problem even when it is fully specified). I believe that the statisticians then try to justify that, and end up making incorrect arguments.
Lovely. Need a compass point image added.

> I have been trying to break into more of the software side, not the quant stuff

> I have about half of a PhD in theoretical computer science

There just aren't that many jobs in High Finance.

They can concentrate on hiring EECS/ECE/CS majors from MIT, Harvard, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UIUC, Columbia, and Princeton and call it a day.

But more critically, why would you even want to make that move? The RoI isn't that high if you aren't quant. You can make decently well working in most tech companies with a better WLB.
you don't even know what that quote means
By some interpretations, Schrodinger's equations describe epistemological state from a given (finite) perspective. So it's not so much that the cat is both alive and dead, it's that the best we can say is that it's alive or dead. This is referred to as "quantum Bayesianism" aka QBism (pronounced "cubism").

"Observer" just refers to anything that has a direct causal connection with the thing being "observed". No consciousness necessary (grr...). If something isn't being "observed" then for all intents and purposes it exists outside of our universe and any questions about it become fundamentally irrelevant.
Move somewhere like Eastern Washington state where the minimum wage is $16 an hour. You can own a piece of land and a small house on that wage here.

Personally I think the best comparison would be Python+Pandas/polars+... or R+tidyverse+..., the key thing being there's less need for the "..." in a language with good table manipulation etc built in.
RQM is an interesting viewpoint on QM that I have not encountered before, even though it was apparently introduced in 1996.

It says that the physical world is a collection of discrete events, doing away with continuous time. It also says that every event involves two systems, in that each event takes place in one system relative to another system.

The idea seems a little strange but the article gives a more intuitive example. It doesn't make sense to talk about the absolute velocity of a particle, only its relative velocity with respect to a reference frame.

But RQM takes it further. It brings to mind the old question about "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it." I guess RQM would say that this question isn't even wrong.

The article quickly becomes too technical for me to understand, so I'm still confused about some aspects. For instance, if each event only involves two systems, how is it that we can have a whole population of systems (eg scientists) eventually coming to a consensus about some phenomenon (eg the value of some physical quantity?) It seems necessary to have a unified global system coordinating the whole thing.

Troubleshooting some chronic inflammation issues (plausibly, like OP, an autoimmune issue)

It's suggested a few supplements that have helped a lot, helped me figure out dosing and timing, pointed me towards taking gut inflammation more seriously as a part of what's going on (and suggesting various tests and experiments to help prove/disprove that), explained correlations in various bloodwork results, the list goes on.

It's—of course—not perfectly trustworthy but a lot of things are either trivially verifiable or are low-risk experiments.
Moving is also both financially and socially disruptive, which is why "just move" is more often than not the precise opposite of the objectively correct answer for people who are already financially stressed and therefore likely dependent on their social connections to minimize various living expenses (e.g. moving in with friends/family, and/or having friends/family watch your kids while you're at work).

Yes, plenty of people do end up moving, but almost always as a last resort, and almost always with a preference toward places where they already know people. I ended up moving cities after high school because nobody in my hometown was willing to hire me (this being the years immediately after the '08 recession; even McDonald's was flooded with college-graduate applicants). That was only possible because I already had a job lined up in a town close enough to where my grandparents lived that I could live with them until I had my own apartment. Not everyone is as fortunate as I am.
The military is great. Most positions are non-combat, and you can get a nice pension and other great benefits like VA loans if you stay in long. Can give you specialized training that leads into other careers too if you hate it. Obviously it's not an easy path, but lots of "non intelligent" people can find success.

But otherwise, if you're poor you should do what other poor people do. Get married(dual income), live with family(more income and economies of scale), accept a long commute, and only shop at Costco. All of these can bring the cost of living down significantly. That's what most poor / lower class people do. Also doing all of this doesn't mean you have to be unhappy.

My dad's great disappointment in me was I hated baseball in all its forms.

My obsessive interest in electricity, chemistry, firecrackers, and rockets was what led me to study engineering at Caltech. My fellow students there were the same type of boy as me. If I was beginning my career today, I'd be sleeping on the doorstep of SpaceX until they hired me.
Yeah sorry in my head I assumed that it would have been adopted
Good sparknotes of the systems engineering here, thanks!
I don't mean this as a moral judgement, and you should live the way you want. What you're describing sounds like an issue of spending habits, not really an issue of income. Maybe you'd prefer to live a certain lifestyle regardless, and that's your choice IMO, but it does tend to come with little in the way of savings.

The easy availability of credit and focus on consumption has led many people, myself included, into patterns of behavior that are either unsustainable or at the very least excessive/expensive.
Thanks for the video, def a lot better than the article.

I do find it a bit weird that this is somehow better than just over-allocating (and thus reducing the chances of key collisions, which also makes worst case 'less worse') given his approach also allocates more memory through the aux arrays.

OAI's fiduciary duty is to their charitable mission. If selling to Elon for $97b jeopardizes the mission, then so would selling to preferred investors for $40b (as they would in turn face immense pressure by shareholders to realize an instant $57b gain by reselling to Musk!)

That's what this whole thing is about. Musk's offer will probably not be accepted, and he knows it. The purpose is to throw a wrench in OAI's plan to sell to insiders at a heavy discount, possibly making it impossible for the nonprofit to become a for-profit.

If this offer forces the preferred investments to cough up an extra $60b for the nonprofit, that's fantastic for the nonprofit mission.
It was JC Penney, however they went beyond merely rounding prices. They ditched sales and coupons, which are unfortunately very popular, and that is often cited as the reason the "fair and square" plan failed.

You may not believe this, but there is no moral quality to money, spent or otherwise. There is no mandate and no value to obeying Musk's wishes.

If he wants to, he could apply legal mechanisms. The fact he's resorting to public pandering to sycophants to back him in his righteous cause suggests that he has exhausted those legal means.

819 million hours of unpaid labor. And just think, a large chunk of that was performed by children. CAPTCHAs are slave labor in small doses. It's also a way of avoiding paying taxes on that labor.

Since headlined “How Progressives Froze The American Dream,” which seems less apt. It primarily examines how often Americans moved house for much of the nation’s history, and how that’s recently tailed off, to an estimated $2trn dent in GDP.
I meant customizability for the end user, which in my opinion should rarely if ever be compromised by app devs.

As for the global menubar, it doesn’t need to wield any power over third party apps… it’s just there to display a list of menus provided by the front most app, and there’s not really a good reason for apps to not provide that even if their devs don’t want a menubar within the app’s window.

Maybe you're arguing for or against some point the GP poster made. I was mainly saying relying on means in the particular example doesn't seem to work. I was helping you out! If you wanted to refute GP's point you could have said, "here marathon runners statistics doesn't quite apply".

Yeah I know "the means are closer to each other than the standard deviation" is the "standard" (pun intended) thing that high school and college kids get about difference between men vs women and other population characteristics and you're trying to make a very good point, but it just doesn't always apply and sometimes repeating it when it doesn't apply, instead of convincing people, could end up confusing them.
What % of startups fail before they even get to the stage of being able to hire a founding engineer? You can either make the choice to be a founder and start before this selection filter or be a founding engineer and start after the selection filter.

Of course, the odds are not static and some people genuinely do have a better RAROC by being a founder but most people overestimate their founder abilities vs the odds and feel like they're not fairly compensated at 1%, which is fine, most people shouldn't be founding engineers either.

But there's a reason it's equilibrated around the 1% mark because early equity compensation is about risk, not effort.
He's wrong. He's probably from a country where NTs are not predominant.

First, NTs don't ever consider anybody except themselves, they only care about their own good. Even when they seem like they're helping you, they only think they get some benefit from being seen doing so.

Second, they don't think like you do: What you consider a failure is a success to them. They memorize the phrase, and learn how they're supposed to react to it. You think they understand the phrase and come up with their own reply like you do, but they don't, because they can't.

There is nothing that can be understood about the NT world, it's all just rote learned. It's a cargo cult remnant of what people created when they were still normal, mixed with some random nonsense creativity of the schizophrenics who work on "improving" it. The only reason why you think you're failing at it is that the difference in intelligence between you and them is so vast.
