Here’s the study itself. It is pretty cleverly designed, even though it can’t be compared to a therapeutic relationship—at all.

People basically signed up to get couples help — and received a message. Then, they had to guess whether the response they got was from ChatGPT or a therapist; people were close to chance!

Then, still without knowing, they had to rate the quality of the response.

This blog is not for everyone.

It is a journey into the mind of a man experiencing grief for the loss of his daughter.

I wish that this man can find peace.

In the end, the mortality rate of everyone alive is 100% and the best we have is celebrating being alive while it lasts.
Neat. No therapeutic outcomes, so in this highly constrained context... sure.

People were attached to Eliza, and ChatGPT will probably be better than a bad therapist, but if you've got the resources to hire a real professional... do that.
That would create a horrible perverse incentive to kill children for money.
This is correct. The premium for Tesla batteries is outrageous for stationary use. I can get 3-4X the capacity for the same price in a purpose built home power storage cabinet from China, with everything included.
Russia has made some claims about Alaska not that long ago [1], but I guess that’s just them being cute?

Musk aside, I think I first rode in my friend’s one in 2015 or so, and he was pretty excited, as was I. An electric car! That insane acceleration! But even then he was pointing out the comparatively shitty build quality, and the premium aspect of the brand seems gone with the lower-end models being everywhere. Also how did they fuck up the self-driving stuff so badly?

Feels like they squandered a ten year headstart somehow, and I don’t understand how the current valuation holds. My feeling is they needed a Tim Cook to show up about ten years, and instead got Musk still stalking factory floors. If I needed a car, I’d choose electric, but I’d choose one from a car company these days: all the advantages of a Tesla seems to have dried up … and that’s before the associations with That Man.
If it's around windows/doors it's casing, if it's going around the floor it's baseboard, if it's around the ceiling it's crown moulding, if it's halfway up the wall it's wainscoting.

I saw the humor in your comment and took it as an opportunity to take another dig at the condition of the state.

Your whole remark about rural identity makes sense since for at least 40 years new subdivisions and new construction in suburbia has focused on giving residents the idea that they are living in a rural setting even though they easily chunk a rock and hit their neighbor's car. They do this by naming subdivisions as "Blah-blah Ranch Acres", or "Blah-blah Valley" or similar to evoke a feeling of isolation that you wouldn't experience when you step out of your vehicle in the driveway of your "ranchette" and go into your "ranch style" home on your 2 acre lot that had a great scenic view of the community lake until someone bought the lot across the road between you and the lake so that now all you see their two-story monstrosity when you look out the front window.

And like you describe, it does erode support for things like public transit since those in the subdivisions will likely never ride a bus anywhere because the developer was not only not required to include the infrastructure for bus service but they weren't on the hook for any of the infrastructure improvements that the residents needed. As a result, the residents find themselves wasting time sitting in long lines waiting to clear multiple stop signs to get on a service road with a poorly timed traffic signal that will allow them to finally merge into a stream of vehicles on the main highway. You can always leave earlier to beat the crowd as long as you're almost the only one with that idea.

I have spent lots of time laughing at the absurdity.
The name predates Mexico by 200 years. The name refers to the city of Mexico, smack dab in the middle of the gulf.

I think Tesla really had a chance to make a truly premium electric car, but they lost their way somewhere. It just feels so generic. Even the shapes of their models aren't particularly beautiful, in my opinion.

It's a shame, because they could have produced something really special.
Mentally unbalanced people tend to go for cybertrucks. It is relevant.
The Ioniq 5 has much nicer interior but it can't drive you from point A to point B without intervention. So the Model Y could be a made out of Lego, have a seat with nails sticking out, force me to inflict pain on myself before putting it in drive and I would still own a Model Y. Even if Elon is crazy there is nothing else close to it on the market I'm sorry. Maybe Rivian.
Echoing this, I dread every time I have an uber/lyft/etc that is a Tesla. I'm very convinced that most folks who buy Teslas generically hate cars, and simplifying the experience for them is how they get to drive/start/continue driving.

Someone who can't manage a gear selector because it's "too complicated" is not someone I want driving on the road, and when you combine that with exceptionally terrible ride quality for the price, it makes for a dreadful experience.

When you dumb down/streamline a phone experience into an iPhone you get something anyone globally can use, with not many downsides. When you dumb down a car experience into a single screen/app you get exceptionally shitty drivers.
Alternately, from another context: Musk is now the most powerful man on the planet. Only a fool would throw that away (or make themselves a target of that power).

It's an unresolvable problem. If you think he's that horrible, you can't get rid of him because you're signing your own death warrant (figuratively or literally, depending on how extreme your view is). If he isn't, you've got an incredible asset in your court.
> Citizen's United

Your comment is exactly why we are in the situation we are in now.

A ruling under an activist conservative supreme court that Obama opposed. One of Hillary's main credentials for a supreme court pick was that they'd vote to overturn Citizens United. It was a 5-4 court and Scalia had died. Citizens United decided 5-4. But America or at least the electoral college picked trump instead. So we got corruption pretending to be free speech and abortion bans instead.

Because the force multiplier of a good DX way outweighs the occasional nonsense from having to do k8s upgrades or troubleshooting

For example: how do you roll out a new release of your product? In sane setups, it's often $(helm upgrade --install ...), which is itself often run either in-cluster by watching a git managed descriptor, or in CI on merge to a release branch/tag

How does your developer get logs? Maybe it's via Splunk/ELK/DataDog/whatever but I have never in my life seen a case where that's a replacement for viewing the logs

How do you jump into the execution environment for your workload, to do more advanced debugging? I'm sure you're going to say ssh, which leads to the next questions of "how do you audit what was done, to prevent config drift" followed by "how do you authenticate the right developer at the right time with access to the right machine without putting root's public key file in a spreadsheet somewhere"
This one is interesting. Large scale defense spending cuts have been off limits politically across both parties for decades ...

I do not imagine congress will simply play along, on the other hand the majority in congress seem to be asleep.

Elites telling us? Isn't Elon the elitest of them all?
It's amazing how out of touch people are. It's one thing to say your lifestyle choices make it hard to save money at that income level, but it's certainly also true that many folks are perfectly able to save a lot at that income level. Out of college, rent in my area was $1500 for a one bedroom, but I was able to rent a house with a few friends for $800/month per person. Even with frequent eating out and outings I saved up over half my income per year, making under 100k the entire time. If you want a really nice car, travel a bunch, or similar, or live alone, I'm sure it gets much harder to save much, but those are lifestyle choices.
The view that developers just want LLMs is plain wrong. The age of AI is just starting.
I'm not necessarily a Musk fan, but it was (as I understand it) based on the percentage increase in their share price, something like 10% of the increase in the value to shareholders would go to him. So, for every dollar the shareholders gave him, they got 9 dollars (approximately). So they didn't expect it to be as big as it was, because the appreciation in Tesla's stock price was crazy big. Matt Levine of Bloomberg has written on this in more detail.
not sure why anyone is down voting you

if you list of the Nazies came into power, converted the Weimar Republic into a autocracy and you don't get hung up on things which are specific of their time but instead take the concepts behind them (e.g. "fear mongering and hate against a minority and persecuting them the moment they get in power" instead of "persecution of Jews") then what we are currently seeing is _exactly_ the same

Naturally if you only look at Nazi Germany in it's final form and treat Hitler as a singularity of evil instead of a product of his time it's really easy to not get that.

And yes, sure, there being a absurd amount of similarities doesn't mean that the US will next start mass killing Jews.

Actually if you look at the similarities and for a moment for argumentative reasons assume it will get as bad as Hitler Germany then it still wouldn't be genocide of Jews ... but genocide of "illegal criminals" like Trump loves to say using the same kind of hate speech tools Hitler used for Jews, just using modern language and a different minority instead. Through again if we assume it gets as bad. The point here isn't (at all) that "Trump is Hitler" but that the US is on very dangerous slippery slope to autocracy and fascism which even could (but doesn't has to) end up with some form of genocide because in additional to the checks-and-balances of the US being kinda a joke by now the starting building blocks for genocide are all there too (building of a concentration camp outside of their soil, having a ton of people they want gone from the US but which often have no place to go, using intentional dehumanizing languages systematically and increasingly, starting to dehumanizing and delegitimizing of other minorities too, constantly rilling up of people by the head of the state, systematic removing of checks and balances, increasingly unchecked executive, private forces which do "especially sensitive tasks" (through atm. no private militarized forces), asking people to be loyal to the ruling power instead of the constitution, systematic reinterpreting the constitution in definitely not intended to be that way ways, putting people in power for loyalty with a cause instead of competence, ton of open and less open megalomania, tons of tons of excuses being put out with the intend to reason for unreasonable, cruel actions not possible in a state of law, did I mention rule by emergency edict? (just called executive order), sizing of assets, etc. etc.)
Why don’t you unfollow people without removing the connection? It’s easy. I have zero fake story in my feed, only my IRL friends. I really don’t understand why people complain about that all the time. LinkedIn may suck, but they don’t push random people on your front page.

The decision was completely partisan 5-4 with 5 Republican appointees voting in the majority, 4 Democrats in the minority. https://www.oyez.org/cases/2008/08-205

Obama appointed 1 of the 4 Democrats who voted in the minority, his only appointee up to that point https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_Supreme_Court_can...

So he literally did all he could, subject to the constitution, to prevent this ruling. The logic of mentioning Citizen's United here is like people complaining that abortion rights were taken away during Biden's term. In other words, there is no logic other than a crude misdirect.
No, I mean, if you're running your own cluster for yourself.

Most Tesla stockholders have made a lot of money, so why would they not be okay with how he's running the company? Just look at the stock price appreciation over the last 1, 5, and 10+ years.
> but it can't drive you from point A to point B without intervention.

My Model 3 with FSD constantly has problems going from A to B without intervention.

I'd miss FSD, but ultimately it's not that big of a benefit over other ADAS implementations. Lane keeping and auto cruise is like 90% of the benefit of FSD.

The stock is the product. They wouldn't be one of the most valuable companies in the world if they had focused on producing small batches of kick ass roadsters, they wanted to scale up to mass production of cheap cars as fast as possible (but they lost their focus there too, pivoting to whatever the cybertruck is)

Nice article though, an interesting anthropological dive and perhaps the starting point for some research.
If you have type checking but not named arguments, it provides a fair degree of sanity checking.

And as much as named arguments are nice from a user perspective, they do have significant runtime overhead if the format string can be localized.
> it’s ridiculous to think someone could pretend they can evaluate it without that factor.

When I bought a Ford I didn't stop for a minute to think about the politics of it's CEO. What's ridiculous is that anyone ever thought they could. What they should be saying is "the marketing around my car brand is important to me even after the sale." That just sounds churlish so I guess people deflect to make themselves sound more serious.

> to watch the Tesla owner shift from proud liberal to frugal suburban dad,

It's kind of funny to watch people in here talk about their comparisons between an M3 and a Tesla. As if this board is anywhere /near/ a representative sample of the people who live in this country or their typical financial outlook.

Anyways now that the honeymoon is over perhaps the crowd will be willing to do an _honest_ evaluation of what has always been a substandard manufacturer of vehicles. We've been trying to tell you for a decade now.
It probably means transgender Americans can visit those countries without being crucified (figuratively or literally)?
This reminds me of Victor Hugo’s famous poem, “Demain, des l’aube,” about visiting his daughter.

>Or perhaps we're all part of both groups.

this feels right to me. application development and platform development are both software development tasks, and lots of software devs do both. i like working on platform-level stuff, and i like building applications. but i like there to be a good distinction between the two, and when i'm working on application-level stuff, i don't want to have to think about the platform.

services like fly.io do a good job of hiding all the platform level work and just giving you a place to deploy your application to, so when they start exposing tools like GPUs that are more about building platforms than building applications, it's messy.

I dont understand the hate either. Yes it sucks if you follow people you don’t know, but LinkedIn allows you to hide literally everything without breaking the connection. It’s not like Twitter where you are forced to see the updates of the CEO.
Lane keep plus adaptive cruise control is ok until you want more. Trust me I used open pilot for 4 years. Once you have auto lane change like GM Cruise or Tesla FSD you can't go back.

I don't know if there's any evidence that your tax dollars went to sex change operations in Guatemala.

$350k (out of $2 million) was given to ASOCIACION LAMBDA. Yes, gender affirming care is mentioned in the description but that could mean almost anything. [1]

If you look at what they promote it's mostly about gender equality and protecting people from violence. Workshops, safe spaces, collecting statistics, some HIV testing stuff. [2][3][4][5]

I'm not saying it's impossible but I haven't seen any evidence and the people making the claims are known chronic liars.

And most of FEMA's budget was not spent on housing illegal migrants. Disaster relief funding is separate and much larger than Shelter and Services Program funding[6][7][8], as ordered by Congress in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023. [9]

Coding. Often the grunt work of iterating "what if this" and I get my code and try it, do some more "what if that" and go from there. Not rocket science but the sort of nit picky toil that I'd rather not expend brain on.
> I just explained how AI books are able to cheat - they make more, faster, cheaper, and win based not on quality, never on quality, but rather by overwhelming. Such a strategy is morally reprehensible.

Okay, I fundamentally disagree with your premises, analogies to water and banking (or even in your other comment about piracy [0], as I have not seen any evidence of piracy leading directly to "suicides," as you say, and have instead actually benefited many companies [1]), and therefore conclusions, so I don't think we can have a productive conversation without me spending a lot of time saying why I don't equate AI production to morality, at all, and why I don't see AI writing billions of books having anything to do with morals.

That is why I said it is your opinion, versus mine which is different. Therefore I will save both our time by not spending more of it on this discussion.

This is a bad take. Plenty of licenses involve essentially exchanging a right for a privilege (in simple terms). People who aren't comfortable with this compromise have the choice to not get a certain type of license (and many don't, HAM radio licenses aren't held by anywhere near a sizeable chunk of the population).

Is the underlying assumption that everyone redacted in that report is a licensed HAM radio user deprived of their right to have a private name and address?
It's not like religion where I care how my pastor acts. He's got a job. His performance at the job is about whether the company is successful.

Some of the moves of the current administration, with recent changes, hobbled much of the competition for Musk, Inc.

The removed charger funding drives people to Tesla chargers.
