> The argument that it leads to violence is not logically sound and very minority reportesque.

That a nazi salute, corroborated with converging political views…? You obviously don’t understand, don’t see how things happen.

Or you do, and you know downplaying “nazi wannabees” is part of the game.

It’s not about being scared but principled: an open democracy does not tolerate ideas going against its very foundations: it makes sure these are, expressed maybe, but kept in a very strict perimeter which they ought no get out from.
It is probably telling that multiple people here think that the only relevant framing of "impressive" is as an investment. And that is only made stranger by the fact that Tesla has been objectively a hugely successful investment in terms of performance, no matter how many people dislike their cars, Musk, and the company's fundamentals or they think there is some hypothetical crash that is right around the corner.

And to make it explicit, I dislike Musk as much as the next guy and I absolutely would not invest in Tesla at this point, but we shouldn't let that bias our view of history.

I really wish we could remove the 100% tariffs on solar panels and EVs from China and let the free market do its thing. It feels like lobbying and red tape are the biggest things holding back the energy transition at this point.
One optomistic point is that a lot of stupid things persist because whoever gets rid of them would have to deal with a bad image. TSA is of that style; the other political party would almost be guaranteed to scream in cynical fashion that it is making people less safe.

But it isn't obvious the Trump administration would have to worry about that. They've already saturated the screaming. There isn't anything worse to call them than Nazis and there are a couple of years of the administration left. We can hope someone thinks to tidy the TSA up.

Denver's airport is apart from the actual city, and there are light rail lines connecting it with downtown. That system... does not work very well, owing to crappy light rail and the fact that most people still aren't where they need to be even if they took that to Union Station.

If you're suggesting this hypothetical giant tunnel would actually have the planes taxiing all the way to a whole airport underneath a city... I don't see that solving more problems than it would create.

Marking “new tech paradigm isn’t about turning a profit/ the rules have changed” on my tech bubble bingo card.
It's besides the point whether C pointers are more similar to Rust pointers or references. It's even true that pointers BY THEMSELVES have fewer constraints in Rust than in C . It's in the interaction between pointers and references that it's very easy to trigger undefined behavior in Rust.

Besides the fact I already mentioned about the dangers of casting pointers to references, there's also the problem that pointers are only valid as long as no operations are done with references to the same object (no interleaving). On top of it, the autoborrowing rules make it so it's not always clear when a reference is being taken (and operated upon).

So yes, in my opinion _unsafe_ Rust is significantly more difficult to get right than C.

So you name your son with your given name + son, right?

But doesn't it mean he no longer shared the same surname with you? How does it make sense?

I can’t agree that his bad behaviour vindicates other bad behaviour. Checks and balances would be a far better solution than what was done to Ma. We should never consider a state manipulating politics so forcefully to be vindicated because someone seeks to exploit the state. It vindicates the very systems Musk seeks to destroy, showing the USA needs strong and more assertive checks and balances.

I think I see what you mean, but it’s dangerous to casually say such a hostile and powerful state’s corruption could ever be vindicated.

X plunging in value is outdated information. EBITDA is double what it was when it was public ($682m to $1.25bn). Revenue is down, but profit is up substantially, due to aggressive cost management.

XAI is valued at another $40bn as well.
Musk owns 42% of the $350B SpaceX, so he would still be the 6th richest person in the world(tied with Sergey bring) if TSLA and all his other investments went to $0.

One detail I've not seen mentioned in these discussions is that the EO specifically identifies "the U.S. Continental Shelf area bounded on the northeast, north, and northwest by the States of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and extending to the seaward boundary with Mexico and Cuba". I'm not sure exactly what that looks like on a map, but it's clearly focused on US coastal waters. (Which kind of makes sense, because GNIS has no naming authority outside of US borders.) But it also makes the implementation by Google Maps wrong, since a large part (a majority, I think) of the gulf is still the Gulf of Mexico. It seems like the area should be drawn as two adjacent gulfs, the Gulf of America to the North and East, and the Gulf of Mexico to the South and West.

(Not debating the merits, just pondering mapping details.)

As far as I can tell, the recommended options treat the symptoms, but not the conditions.

It was suggested that a family member of mine has EDS, but if they do, it’s not acute and there would really be nothing to do. The doctor even suggested getting tested for it, but it would not be covered so they didn’t do it.
That's a really bad idea, those rebalance daily, so you are basically betting against short-term volatility (if spy goes down 10% in a day then up 10% the next, you are down 1% on spy, on a 2x levered etf you are down 4% or 4x the loss). Also both fees and slippage are really terrible on all levered ETFs

If you really want to do 2x lever its probably best to just buy 6 month or 1 yr dated ITM calls. They're quite cheap and very liquid on SPY.

I'm not sure what the other options are.
Edit: "My impression isn't that teams take hallway usability testing at all seriously, and I wouldn't blame them since there don't often seem to be incentives for getting things right."

Fairchild Integrated Semiconductor Technologies

Complexity analysis typically assumes an ideal Von Neumann machine. Systems programming embraces the discontinuities in registers, L1, L2, L3, ILP, branch prediction, and so on. (Maybe there's a good pun to be had that complexity analysis stays as far away from computer complexity as possible.) The simple model is essential, as it's the only way to create a body of proofs that will last. What's increasingly hard, though, is that there are oodles of papers, of the sort demonstrating that one algorithm or data structure is better than another, yada yada, and there's usually some benchmarking in each, and that kind of empirical demonstration is now far less than useful unless the paper's authors are good systems programmers and have given up on improvements.

Honestly, I sometimes feel like I got work done more efficiently on my 1024x768 displays in that era than I do with my 4K+ monitors now. Modern UIs are bewildering at times. I miss the days where Photoshop and Office had toolbars separate from the open document windows. Things just seemed so much more discoverable and made more efficient use of space.

munch117 is right; it's a different letter.

Compare French é and è, different vowels with different spellings, to pinyin é and è, identical vowels with different diacritically-marked tones. The French vowels don't have diacritics any more than i and j do.

That's a graphemic definition of "letter". There is an alternative, collation order, but in Icelandic that will also tell you that o and ö are two different letters, and ö sorts after þ while o sorts before it.
At least for the academic career track, the school only matters inasmuch as it connects you with your advisor. Your advisor's name, or research group's name, is what people will judge you on.
This was the problem as stated in the Marilyn vos Savant column that started the controversy:

> Suppose you’re on a game show, and you’re given the choice of three doors. Behind one door is a car, behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say #1, and the host, who knows what’s behind the doors, opens another door, say #3, which has a goat. He says to you, “Do you want to pick door #2?” Is it to your advantage to switch your choice of doors?

Diaconis is in fact correct that given just that information the problem cannot be solved. What is missing is a statement that the host will always reveal a goat and always offer you a chance to switch doors.

If the host can chose whether or not to make the offer then if you you happen to receive the offer when you are on the show you cannot say anything about whether or not switching is to your advantage.

For instance suppose the show has given away a lot of cars earlier in the season and the producers ask the host to try to reduce the number of cars given away during the rest of the season. The host might then only offer switching when he knows the contestant has picked the car door.

He will still open a goat door first because that's more dramatic. He just won't offer to let you switch before going on to open either your door or the remaining door.
That’s a wonderful and visceral story.

To me science is about defining the bounds of the possible. To do that you also need to push the bounds and occasionally update everything you thought you knew. In the case of CS where we find new, lower bounds, I find that especially exciting.

I meant to append this to my original reply but I’ll say here: I enjoyed Knowledge Based AI from Georgia Tech. The lectures tallied about different types of knowledge acquisition as it applies to humans and them how we’ve mapped that to machines. That along with HCI were my favorite OMSCS courses.

In your case, seeing a new, lower bounds helped push you to look in different directions and re-examine your assumptions. In KBAI we weren’t allowed to share code (of course) but were given very wide leniency in what we could share. Posing my performance numbers and reading other’s gave me a sense of what’s possible and had a similar effect as your story.
> If the OpenAI-NP board sees such existential risk from a change in leadership of OpenAI-P, how can they in good faith eschew control of it? By removing themselves from control, they would see the exact same risk anyhow. Elon could make a tender offer for the private for-profit entity that its board would be bound to accept in its fiduciary duty to shareholders.

They can make the argument that this offer is not in good faith and that Elon would not make an equivalent offer on an open market. That is, Elon's purpose in this offer is to prevent the sale of OpenAI, not to actually acquire it. Perhaps one could get around this if the cash were put in escrow, but also Elon likely doesn't have 100B in cash and it appears part of the valuation that Elon is putting up is x.ai, so it's quite reasonable to say that x is overvalued in this deal and that it isn't really 90B anyway.

> You can't buy a non-profit. It's their assets he's trying to buy. If OpenAI-NP values their OpenAI-P claims at $40B then that's what Elon would own according to their own beliefs.

From what I can gather you're just mistaken here, Elon seems to be offering 100B for the thing recently valued at 157B (per https://archive.is/59jZ5#selection-637.0-648.0), while what is being sold for 40B is not the entire $157B entity.

Either that, or elon really is getting a controlling interest, and then the argument about Elon being a terrible steward still applies.

This is an... interesting comment on many levels.

A few things: we also put lots of effort into preventing mass casualty attacks in public places around the world (except the US govt in primary schools, for unfortunate three letter political reasons that begin with N and end with A). We generally don't want people to blow up planes because they're super expensive (even if we discount the lives of the passengers). Terrorists prefer blowing up aircraft to other things. When planes crash, they often hit people on the ground. And so on...

The AI Architect – Bret Taylor
If you're interested in DEC history and haven't read "The Soul of a New Machine" by Tracy Kidder, you owe it to yourself to get a copy. A Pulitzer Prize winner and IMO one of the best tech books ever written.

There might be soon.

IF (yes, still a reasonably big IF) they could just automate highway driving, a large segment of air trips become really a wash, especially if you consider that taking your car someplace gets you a car for your destination, while if you flew it is an additional hassle/expense/delay.

So the exercise to me is: how far does it have to be before you would rather fly? If I had reliable highway automated driving, you're already dealing with a 3-4 hour drive being reasonably equivalent to the time and hassle of a 1 hour flight.

Plus with a car you can leave on a whim with no prescheduling, pack more with less restrictions, will be cheaper generally (especially if carpooling/family driving), can stop and eat more conveniently, have better internet access typically, can stop and see friends or other places along the way, and again, you have your car for transport when you get there.

A self-driving sprinter van converted to an RV would be even better: sleep overnight, have a place to stay at a minimum when you get there.

Anyway, I suspect this might hollow out quite a lot of flight demand when it becomes a reality (any decade now). Airlines will be forced to reexamine their policies if an overnight self-driving trip gets you the vast majority of the way to a destination.
I kinda like to think that Jeff Bezos is whispering in Trump's ear, hoping for this inevitable outcome, and waiting to pick up the pieces with Blue Origin.
That link goes great lengths to not shame people for their weight and not shame them for a number while also being crystal clear that you have worse outcomes from obesity. Some key quotes:

> Yes, you can be overweight and metabolically healthy. At the same time, we know that obesity is a disease that affects the body in many different ways. Thirteen types of cancer and 200 other health conditions are related to obesity.

> Those numbers [weight on the scale] directly correlate to life expectancy.

Also note, metabolic health doesn't mean "will live a happy and long life with good statistical outcomes for other areas". It mostly means things like "you're not anemic, not diabetic, you have acceptable cholesterol, etc." it doesn't mean "your knees will be fine as you age" nor does it mean "you are at a similar likelihood to develop cancer as someone who is not overweight". It's a pretty narrow definition that's focused on the hyper-immediate.
