> I'll take that as high praise considering you're not a huge fan of LLMs :)

Heh:-) I mean to say that I've not really encountered a convincing use case for them before now. From my point of view, your tool is perhaps the closest to a killer application for LLMs that I've seen.

If there's one occupation that requires a full-time assistant, it's the high-school teacher. But as we all know, that's an unobtainable luxury so this might be the perfect use for an LLM.

> Yes for sure. That viral hook is soon to come. I have ideas for a marketplace where teachers can list their presentations and make some money selling them too, but I'm getting a little carried away now ... that's for further down the line.

I wish you all the best in this. It's very inspiring.
He’s thinking much bigger. I believe the major push will be around self-driving cars. My bet is that he’s in government because he wants to help shape comprehensive federal regulation for autonomous vehicles — which I think is the missing piece right now.

In this case they all refer to building the same thing, but at different steps in the process. Theoretically each step could be carried out by a different person, but in modern practice it would be quite unusual to do so – which is why they can be, and are, used interchangeably. If someone is doing one of them it is almost certain they are doing all of them.

>> separate the "What?" from the "How?"

This is a huge mental error that people make over and over again. There is no absolute "what" and "how", they are just different levels of abstraction - with important inflection points along the way.

The highest level of abstraction is to simply increase happiness. Usually this is accomplished by trying to increase NPV. Let's do that by making and selling an accounting app. This continues to get more and more concrete down to decisions like "should I use a for loop or a while loop"

Clearly from the above example, "increase NPV" is not an important inflection point as it is undifferentiated and not concrete enough to make any difference. Similarly "for loop vs while loop" is likely not an inflection point either. Rather, there are important decisions along the way that make a given objective a success. Sometimes details can make a massive difference.

Genuine question: what value are people finding on X these days? I’m not saying it doesn’t exist, but I gave up on the site due to the rampant toxicity awhile ago. Are people just highly curating their feeds?

It started to feel like going to a trash dump with the intention of finding things that aren’t trash. Perhaps possible, but extremely smelly and occasionally the cause of a bed bug infestation.
> I see a fellow enjoyer of bugs ;)

Yep! :)

I did look at the assembly on a release build and the write method was in fact not inlined (needed to get the compiler to reason about the offset aliasing); that write method is what I called "push-back" there. I could've modified the crate to force-inline, but that's, like, effort, just to make a trivially-true assertion for one HN post.

Indeed a lack of an equivalent of gcc's __attribute__((noipa)) is rather annoying with clang (there are like at least 4 issues and 2 lengthy discussions around llvm, plus one person a week ago having asked about it in the llvm discord, but so far nothing has happened); another obvious problem being trying to do benchmarking.

(for reference, what I was trying to get to happen was an equivalent of https://godbolt.org/z/jobs6M95G)
If you want to have complete trust in every key you hold then you need to validate it personally. This is exactly the same scaling factor as Signal or WhatsApp, for example.

Web of trust scales better than that, though. It gives you confidence in keys you haven't seen yet because they are signed by other keys that you do trust. The key signing parties strengthen the web of trust, making it more likely a potential correspondent will receive a key signed by someone they trust and therefore potentially not needing to verify it personally.

It all depends how much confidence you want to have for each key. At the end of the day there is no substitute for verifying each key personally if you want to be completely sure. PGP give you the option to hold keys with a lower level of confidence for e.g. less sensitive communications.

What are the practical implications of this kind of assembly language? Surely there’s more efficient means of describing 2D SDFs?

Fun exercise! I’ve been enjoying trying to find some new ways to approach the challenge. I managed to build a single string expression for the entire program, so it could be evaluated per-pixel in a shader, but it turns out the expression is too complex for WebGL & WebGPU and the shader fails to compile.

My next thought would be to evaluate the program at a low resolution to create a low res SDF texture for the shader to draw at a higher resolution. Some information will probably be lost, though.

The board for Tesla?

It’s because musk is the Tesla stock price. The entire valuation of that company is based of the force of personality that musk has.

If they ousted musk, the Tesla shares would be worth less than any other auto maker instead of more than all of them combined.

> Doesn’t the CEO have fiduciary responsibility to not tank the company in a worldwide market?

I don’t think this is necessarily true in a legal sense
Yes, because the drop in sales relates to the retooling of the Model Y production liens in all 4 factories at once: Fremont, Austin, Berlin and Shanghai.

In Europe, deliveries re-started on March 10 after the official launch in mid January.

In China where they move faster, the sales are picking up as expected. They might end the quarter with stable sales YoY despite the factory downtime. https://x.com/Tslachan/status/1904464265303699919
Did your feet grow larger ?
This is IMHO a very problematic take. This suggests the more votes, the more initiatives, the better. But this is very obviously wrong. Generally most industry nations have "only" a handful of large problems. (Something along climate, pensions, health care, housing and economy)

What happens when these get solved in a Stakkato timeframe shows the current US government which at this point even fails to fulfill basic needs of supermarkets. Proper laws/initiatives aren't created/fleshed out by actual politicians but by a whole army of employees of the related institutions.

Everything else is pure populism.

I own two Teslas. The loss in sales isn't mainly Elon Musks outspoken politics:

Back when Tesla was the only long-range EV you could buy, well, Tesla pretty much had the market cornered. Now, with other manufacturers offering long range EVs, Tesla just isn't standing up to the competition.

Here are some non-political reasons why, IMO, Tesla sales are down:

1: They do not justify the price premium, because they do not feel like a luxury vehicle. The interior is basically a mass market vehicle with pleather. (And the Cybertruck is just too expensive.)

1a: They severely dropped the price of the Model Y right after people bought it, with no goodwill. (This happened to me.) Ford dropped the price of the Mustang Mach E shortly after, and then offered goodwill to people who recently purchased it.

2: They have weird quirks:

2a: The yoke (square) steering wheel in the Model S should have always been optional.

2b: The automatic windshield wipers work very poorly, and there is no wiper speed control on the stalk. The "just push the button and spin the dial on the steering wheel" is not a solution. (Either use the same kind of sensor that other car manufacturers use, or bring back the old fashioned dial on a stalk.)

2b: The heat/AC and radio turn on when you open the door. (I hate this.)

2c: On newer Teslas, shifting happens on the touchscreen instead of a physical shifter.

2d: The general lack of physical buttons. The car doesn't need a button for everything, but even some programmable physical buttons would be a huge improvement.

3: The Model 3's driver's seat is too uncomfortable. (The Model Y's driver seat is better.)

4: They should have a wider range of vehicles by now. For example, they should have a Cyber SUV based on the same platform as the Cybertruck, but with 3 rows. They also need to have a lower-end vehicle.

5: They can't "ship." They've had pre-orders for the roadster forever. In contrast, Chinese EV makers come out with new models much faster.

6: They are sorely behind on Autopilot. Other manufacturers allow hands-free. The promise of full-self-driving was never met, people who paid for full-self-driving in their 2018 Model 3s will never get a true hands-free self-driving car while they own it.
I'm surprised it still has brand recognition.
I’m curious what your evidence is that this is happening. And has it happened before with other models in a noticeable level such as this?
People who think about space colonization tend to follow the same path Eric Drexler did: manufacturing of "bottom of pyramid" substances such as aluminum and methane depends on being self-sufficient for "middle of pyramid" and "top of pyramid" manufacturing. Drexler's molecular assembler seems to have failed, but you could put together something like it with different pieces, the existence proof of which is that commodities like horses can build themselves by molecular assembly out of nucleic and amino acids.

"Advanced manufacturing" is of interest here on Earth for the reasons headlined and for many others (how can a country like Argentina escape the trap it is in?)

Fermentation combined with synthetic biology is an attractive approach but struggles in terms of cost. Anything that comes out of a petrochemical plant costs about 50 cents a pound [1] whereas carbohydrates of plant origin cost about $1 a pound [2]. One of the renewable energy "El Dorado" technologies is ethanol from cellulosic biomass [3] which is straightforward to demo but is nowhere near being cost competitive -- during WWII there was a revolution in fermentation that got the cost of penicillin down by orders of magnitude but cellulase production has been worked on for decades and seems to be near the limit.

My team knows I have it because I am on the severe side of the spectrum, but I otherwise agree with the general take that those who are properly diagnosed are less likely to make it part of their identity or let people know than those who aren’t.

It’s likely that those using it in a self diagnosed way are using it as a way to have an excuse for something they do that is unpleasant.

That said, I have no trouble freely talking about it either. The shame is gone for me now. It is part of my life therefore my identity in some form

I took 5000 IU of vitamin D for one month and I just happen to have a blood test that was coming up. My calcium levels were elevated. I was told to take this dose by my doctor, because my vitamin D levels, not deficient she felt they were very low.

During this time, my mood also worsened.

Some of us may be more sensitive to calcium transport when taking vitamin D than others, and this is clearly due to genetics. Interestingly enough, there is something in fish which controls this, I can’t think of it off the top of my head right now, but I will look it up and post it later.

So now I only get my vitamin D from natural occurring vitamin D in seafood, and the sun.

The French monarchy also bankrupted France with lavish spending, and financing the American Revolution.

The best, IMO, version of the talk's program has a signature (as expressed in my ad hoc pseudo-typed-python):

where hasMax is false iff len( intArr ) == 0

and maxV is only meaningful if haxMax is true

The Practical Limitations of End-to-End Encryption
These fine-grained attempts at parsing the words to mean things other than how they are commonly used doesn't serve any purpose. Yes, of course the act of physically typing in characters in a programming language is not exactly the same thing about thinking about the algorithms you want the computer to do, but so what? It's trivial and it doesn't matter, and specifically using language to highlight that difference is pointless. To use an analogy, people will often say that "so and so website says X", but the website didn't actually say anything; it can't talk. What they mean is they read so and so text on a website. But we all know what they mean, and it's annoying and pointless to jump in to correct the language there. Similarly, it's annoying and pointless to pedantically argue that "well actually that's not programming, that's coding".
The BMW i3 had one as an option. Virtually no-one bought that version.
These are figures from Europe. Musk's credibility was significantly damaged in Europe from early 2024, when he became an outspoken supporter of Trump.

Two people I know were holding off from purchasing Tesla cars last year, thinking that if Trump lost then the political views of Musk wouldn't really matter any more. As Trump won, one has bought a VW, and the other is continuing to wait.
I'm not using it for the same reason. It tailors the content to trigger emotional reactions-usually negative ones. I'd often leave X feeling like people are just evil, idiotic creatures. That's not healthy. Kinda ironic that the so-called prodigy of our generation is letting himself get manipulated by his own platform's algorithm-promoting garbage to himself just to better manipulate others.
Contrary to some of opinions here where the easiest thing is to criticize Trump and his administration, I will give a different point of view:
Many of us European citizens love the Trump administration and we envy Americans for the big step you've given against the globalist tyranny.
The EU is totally controlled by them and we are literally living in a dictatorship (in Spain with the dictator Pedro Sánchez is one of the worst). The EU is implementing laws for full control of its citizens, censoring all the contrary opinions. Freedom is almost non-existent anymore. And the worst part is the forced Islamization of Europe they're creating. This with the sole purpose of riding us of our culture and identity. People without identity are people with nothing to fight for, people easily enslaved.
You Americans wake up! Trump is the best thing that's ever happened to you.
There are times you need complexity enough to be worth training costs. There is one universal word "nanana", and maybe babies cry (it seems many babies have unique cries for different needs: I suspect that is training between babies and their parents - anyone done research on this?). All other language is because you spend years in training. If you can read this or write a response that implies training.

The important point from the above is it was worth the effort to learn. The only person I know who is a strong advocate of PGP was a missionary to Romania before the iron curtain fell - he had strong reason to hide what he was saying from government level actors and even today still is willing for extra effort to protect himself. For most of us though our threat profile isn't (or doesn't seem to be) that high and so learning how to use the tool isn't worth it.
That guy we just killed... A terrorist. Those medics in the hospital, terrorists helping hide an underground terrorist base. Those kids in wheelchairs... terrorists. That Israeli hostage shouting "don't shoot, I'm a hostage"... Terrorist.
A clear eyed take, Nvidia is reaping the benefits of this new rush for now.
Big business and state actors don't want AI to be weaponized as economic terrorism. (Economic terrorism aka "we'll replace all your workers and infra with our subscription" is OpenAI's entire sales pitch.)

So for them this is a case of insurance and hedging risks, not profit making.
It really depends. Cloudflare, quad9 or whatever upstream DNS probably has huge cache which makes resolving the queries quite fast. Although, local caching, like with unbound, is still going to be a lot better than any upstream resolver
> You're assuming it was a business transaction. Of course not. Musk never intended to make a direct profit.

I think the fact that he tried to get out of it, indicates that this wasn't a long term plan, though he did eventually make political use out of it.
The persistence of Marginalia's creator is impressive.

I run a web search comparison site (Gnod Search) and every time I saw Marginalia, I played around with it for a while and thought "What is this for? Does anybody actually use this?" and decided against adding it to Gnod Search. Thinking this project would soon give up in the face of the giant competitors it has.

But it kept coming up over and over again :)

Then recently I was looking for blog posts about experiences with Linux on tablets. I had a hard time finding something with Google & Co. I remembered that this could be a good use-case for Marginalia. I tried it, and indeed I found some relevant posts by Linux enthusiasts.

I then immediately added it to the default search engines:
