Engineers can go to SpaceX and Starlink competitors and work to finally build some meaningful competition. At this point the US government cannot toss Musk to the curb even if they wanted to. If the republicans ever lose again, the next administrator wouldn't hesitate to command NASA to use another vendor(if they had one).
I'm a PM so the PRD callout caught my attention, but I don't feel like there's really anything in the product that's well ... product focused. I'm not sure how Github integration really helps me for this use case. Google Drive would, but Claude has that and I'm not sure I see any benefits for my use case over just using Claude.

If I'm missing something please let me know.

Wait… really?

No way do I want to work with someone who can’t debug or write tests. I thought those were entry stakes to the profession.

People whose skills you use in other ways because they are more productive? Maybe. But still. Clean up after yourself. It’s something that should be learned in the apprentice phase.
Why are historical events like the Boston Tea Party celebrated then? After all the tea merchants were innocent and did not impose the tax upon the American colonists, they were just shrewd negotiators who managed to carve out an exemption for themselves.

Or as a more recent example, look at the January 6 2021 protests. Trump supporters quite literally stormed the national legislature; although a lot of the rank and file ended up in prison, none of the organizers even faced charges, and 4 years later Trump regained office, in part based on his promise to pardon all the J6 defendants (which he subsequently did). Now one could argue about what proportion of hearts and minds hold him in affection by comparing various opinion polls, but the reality is that he holds power and is wielding it like it's going out of fashion.

So while I agree with you that it's an unlikeable tactic (the more so when it impacts individual consumers; I don't much care about the dealerships), I disagree about its longer-term effectiveness. There's a lot of evidence pointing to the conclusion that violating norms frequently pays off. Protests that go out of their way not to offend or inconvenience anyone may attract some sympathy but seem to yield little in the way of results.
That’s what real freedom it really is.

Finally I start reading some sanity over here.
There shouldn't be any money to walk off with whilst services are more expensive and less good than most other countries.

Creating a market for a natural monopoly like train travel should always include simulated competition against other remote geographies (ie. France), and financial penalties for losing that competition.
Pierogi are available here as fresh product in the fridge section (ready to boil or pan frying) or deep-frozen in bags which can last months in your freezer (boiling only, tho you could dethaw and fry but that's too much hassle). Making pierogi comercially freeze dried would make no sense.
It’s more that software books ruin your brain and make you incapable of enjoying good literature. Same for existentialism which you fled into out of despair from working in and reading about software. It is a hollow and empty profession that only breaks humans or turns them into monsters. Or not. Either way you should be worried if you can’t read fiction, it means you’ve lost the ability to put yourself in someone else’s mindset.
I think you're being just a bit too triggered by my calling out one of his negatives - and it's delusional to think a grown man lying about his video game prowess to impress randoms isn't extremely pathetic - to see that this is an actual skill.

A common failure mode of leaders is to get too down into the trenches and insert themselves into places that would be better left alone. Even very technical leaders in an area of their expertise - they can demoralize a team by telling them to do it better and belittling them, they can be too excited and change plans too often for the boring but necessary work to get done right, they can just be over-bearing and take on a pile of work they hired others to do (to "do it right myself") and fail from the load/burnout. It's a genuine skill to not over-insert oneself.

My literal message was Elon Musk is a human, with good and bad traits - then I listed some of each.

> I feel like that often when people talk about Musk they aren't even talking about him but some sort of fictional character that seems to exist purely in the imagination of certain people.

I know this psychological phenomenon its called projection - I'm not worshiping a fictional engineering and management god called Elon Musk, so when I call out bad things he's done you take your fictionalization and assume I'm doing the same sort of thing.

I wanted to do a KGB vs. CIA game for mobile. You choose a side, get assigned a code name. Then various assignments come your way requiring you to go to specific GPS locations not too far from you (dead drops) where you get instructions for the next mission.

As you complete these tasks, in time you advance to assassin-level where you are sent to target and "kill" other players of the game. (Just getting within some near GPS distance of them and touching the "trigger" button in the game.)

(I assume each player can geofence an area where they are "unassailable" — home, work? But, otherwise, yeah, someone could be stalking you through a grocery store to make a hit. Victim is sent a notification they are out of the game.)

It's a game though without legs though until you have enough people playing to make the assassin stage possible.

(Yes, based on the popular college game "Assassin" played IRL with rubber dart guns and dossiers on your targets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin_(game))
Hey, sorry for the confusion. This tutorial is focusing on the low-level internals of how agents are implemented—much like how intelligent large language models still boil down to matrix multiplications at their core.
Do the maths for the southern hemisphere and compare: It is my belief due to axial tilt AND the solar rotation period and solar distance, the effects aren't entirely equal north and south pole.

Do the maths for the dusk side of the story. Dawn is good, but how this behaves in the rate of sun appearance and rate of sun disappearance also has a shift, the two event peaks aren't aligned. Again, a function (I believe) of the axial tilt.

So its a system with differences, with multiple inputs, with complex maths. I love it!

Your graph is misleading, as it cuts off at 2020 and starts in 1990. The majority of the decrease is attributable to de-industrialization, the switch from coal to natgas, and energy-efficient lighting. That was mostly pre-2014.

Whether they go back to school or not, they're likely going to have to accept a much lower salary. They're a senior in their field, but if that doesn't translate well to the new field they really are a junior again, and should expect to be compensated accordingly. It's a tough pill to swallow and something a lot of people in tech (especially B2B) have faced. You either have to come to grips with a lifestyle change or stay in the field and find fulfillment outside of work.
Speaking of which, what happened to the United Health / Change Healthcare breach last year? They claimed it affected 100 million people (https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/24/unitedhealth-change-health...) but the number has been revised even higher since then.

But somehow there’s no news coverage, no outrage, and no consequences for this. Half of America had their medical records stolen due to a lack of two factor authentication, and no one is in jail for it.

> less comfortable than most European trains.

For long haul journeys, not really true. The reclining seats on most Amtrak rolling stock are amazing compared to most European seating (bigger, softer and they genuinely recline). The sleeping cars on Amtrak are at least if not more comfortable than the equivalent in Europe until very recently (and that exception only applies to specific night train routes so far).

It is true that if you're just hopping on a train to move around within a metro area, or to take a short journey within a corridor, US trains are not particularly comfortable, and their European equivalents are probably more so.

If you start paying someone and give them some onboarding docs, to a first approximation they'll start doing the job and you'll get value.

If you attach a credit card to o3 and give it some onboarding docs, it'll give you a nice summary of your onboarding docs that you didn't need.

I don't dispute it had massive hype at the time. I wasn't even an xbox fanboy but I still played it with friends who had the system. I still think its long-term cultural impact is rather minimal, the biggest influences of the series on gaming as a whole came from Halo 1 and 2. And as a sibling comment notes, Call of Duty Modern Warfare released only a few months later and was similarly massive, but unlike Halo, CoD has kept up its appeal and impact over the years, from MW2 and on. (Even newer Halo games ape CoD more than their own roots.) Most gamers haven't played Halo, though hopefully most would recognize its title. In comparison, Minecraft (which came later), has such broader name recognition as well as more people who have actually played it, and continues to have strong and popular cultural impact to this day. It didn't have a flashy launch, though, sure.

Perhaps I'm just missing your argument. Is your argument mostly about the immediate "pop" surrounding the launch, rather than any sort of longer term cultural impact? If so, then sure, I'll grant Halo 3 had one of and perhaps even the largest launch hype of all time from the physical release age. Still it's not like Halo 2 wasn't hugely popular at its launch too, though 3 was probably bigger. And of course the already mentioned Modern Warfare had a big launch, though by MW2 the whole culture of launch hype with midnight releases and camping out and so on was just about dead thanks to digital distribution and such. You had other games later on with crazy marketing too -- how are super bowl ads relevant? Dante's Inferno (2010) is a game I've never played but it also had a super bowl ad I've never seen until now. I'd dare say its impact is far less than Halo's, both at its launch (seems to be a God of War clone) and since.

But if you really are arguing that nothing has had a bigger long-term cultural impact since, the single counterexample of Minecraft is enough to stand against that. Speaking of God of War, there's another franchise that has probably by now out-shined the Halo series for cultural impact. (And maybe worth arguing that it probably contributed to Halo 4's dumb "Press button to beat the Didact" QTE?) I'd even put 2011's Dark Souls higher for birthing a new subgenre term, the "Soulslike", even if it took until Elden Ring for FromSoft themselves to hit the pinnacles of financial success and launch success with the formula. And so many other games.
It'd be really nice if the AI providers just discounted API tokens against your subscriptions so they were in-effect just pre-paying for (ideally a discounted) set amount of tokens.
Right, that is their main limitation currently - unable to consider the full system context when operating on a specific feature. But you must work with excellent juniors (or I work with very poor ones) because getting them to think about changes in the context of the bigger picture is a challenge.

I'm don't think that metric applies here - "SWE years" is when you want for determine whether investing in certain optimisation is worth doing.

In case of VP9, there was no such tradeoff - it used more storage, more CPU time and age SWE hours. What it saved was a very clearly quantifiable financial cost of bandwidth and SWE hour tradeoff didn't have much to do with it.

It would be applicable if the debate would be investing engineering time to speed up VP9 encoder for example.
The talk is great and I can definitely recommend it.

From the abstract:

> These results challenge the prevailing view of local housing and labor markets and suggest that easing housing supply constraints may not yield the anticipated improvements in housing affordability.

If their finding is that increases in incomes leads to increases in demand which then increases prices, that’s not surprising. But their claim is that reducing artificial constraints (onerous land use regulation, discretionary entitlement and permitting, etc) would not have any impact on the supply curve. That’s highly suspect.

To make a plainly true statement which sounds similar to the paper title, "Increasing Incomes Coupled With Supply Constraints Explain House Price and Quantity Growth Across U.S. Cities." Spot the difference.

Inflammation is a bodily response to stimuli. Foods that are said to increase inflammation (like GP said, including seed oil) i avoid when some specific pollens are out. People under chemo or any kind of long term medical treatment should avoid it too, but honestly nobody should get out of their way to avoid oil because of their omega6 to omega3 ratio. Idem for polyinsaturated vs saturated (avoid saturated, but do not go out of your way to do it).

Burning point of oil/fat however is a data which is extremely important when you cook, and you should avoid frying food with oil at a low burning point. If you want to use a specific oil for the taste, use first an oil without taste and a high burning point, then after the vegetables are cooked, add your unrefined sesame oil and sear for like 10 second maximum while mixing everything.

The most effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is a carbon tax. But there is no global tax authority nor any feasible way to legitimize such a thing. Any country that taxes itself over a global problem will disadvantage its economy and people. If a country decarbonizes it’s often by off-shoring heavy industry and importing the finished goods. Canada’s new administration just got rid of their carbon tax.
