The article specifically talks about how Kerala has some of the highest concentrations of startups in India.

Also, the Communist party in power has not stopped themselves from adapting to the new times and dumping older views.

The most recent Econ Nobel showed how institutions create wealthy nations, and Kerala is building those.

Perhaps the statement “not a place to be ambitious” can be seen in a narrower sense, while seeing that it leaves much more space for the median individual.
So he can use the funds he raised for xAI to pay out the lenders for the initial Twitter purchase? Otherwise the lenders are just getting xAI stock (all stock deal) which I assume is illiquid?

Tesla shares are higher than when Twitter was acquired. 'Continues to decline' sounds like weasel wording that the media likes to use to push a narrative that doesn't exist.

Edit: Comment flagged for pointing out inconvenient facts, it's wild out there
As a reminder, the people who held X's debt had written down the company's value to less than $10 billion. So selling your company to yourself for $45 billion dollars is hilarious chicanery.

Musk used his extremely overvalued company to bail out his other way overvalued company that he ran into the ground. It's a thinly-veiled, self dealing ponzi scheme. (It also echos the final fate of Solar City).
I wouldn't be surprised if she's out in a few months.
Your perception is biased, just because the news hyperfocuses on certain instances where the the rules are flouted does not mean it is not there.

You take the world you live in for granted, look at a 80 year timescale and world scale, 7 billion people. What do you think WTO is and what is it doing? What do you think that passport you are carrying is doing? There are nearly 200 countries in the world and you're focusing on how many instances?
Is there a government that's not ultimately controlled by narrow private interests? A well-managed government is merely one where inbuilt norms and traditions (including the Western traditions of constitutional human rights and separation of powers, but not only!) manage to limit the extent to which the narrow private interest of government actors can lead to predatory exploitation of the broader public.
pretty clear to me.

You really don't need these for tiny one-off scripts, but they're essential for larger projects where the whole application can't fit into the LLM context at once.

Basically they're just a markdown files where you write what the project is about, where everything is located and things like that. Pretty much something you'd need to have for another human to bring them up to speed.

An example snippet from the project I just happened to have open:

## Code Structure

- All import processors go under the `cmd/` directory
- The internal/ directory contains common utility functions, use it when possible. Add to it when necessary.
- Each processor has its own subdirectory and Go package

## Implementation Requirements

- Maintain consistent Go style and idiomatic patterns
- Follow the existing architectural patterns
- Each data source processor should be implemented as a separate command

This way the LLM (Cursor in this project) knows to, for example, check the internal/ directory for common utils. And if it finds duplication, it'll automatically generate any common functions in there.

It's a way to add guidelines/rails for projects, if you don't add anything the LLM will just pick whatever. It may even change style depending on what's being implemented. In this project the Goodreads processor was 100% different from the Steam processor. A human would've seen the similarities and followed the same style, but the LLM can't do that without help.
I don't see any connection to what you're talking about to this. You have to explain.
So he just sold himself a company he already owns for a valuation that he himself assigned to that company but that was less than what he paid for it, and he paid entirely using “money” that has a made up value and which he issues himself?

Still, you have to give it to him, it works, and this has allowed him to do some incredible things beyond just hype.

What he's pulled off with xAI more recently is really quite incredible. And obviously this isn't first time Elon proved he can execute better almost anyone else.

I don't really have opinions on him as a person, but as a an entrepreneur you cant flaw him imo. He always finds a way to beat the odds.
Still waiting for a native bot API for Signal before I can fully start using it :/
I'd feel great being someone that financed the takeover of X/Twitter, and being stuck with inflate shares in an also-ran AI play. Obviously there is no rule of law for Musk, and no recourse for them.

He'll keep his ball of twine rolling past TSLA's next earnings date on April 22nd.
You didn't answer any of the questions proposed by the outlined scenario.

Until you answer how you've solved the "I want to make sure my data is written to disk before the hypervisor powers off the virtual machine at the end of the successful run" problem, then I claim that this is absolutely not voodoo.

I suggest you actually read the documentation of all of these things before you start claiming that `fsync()` is exclusively the purpose of kernel, driver, or bootloader developers.

It is not unreasonable to assume Tesla shares will continue to decline whilst:

a) sales internationally are plummeting at such a rapid pace

b) consumer confidence is down with predictions of a looming recession

c) the brand continues to be tarnished by the association with Musk and Trump

d) auto tariffs will increase the costs of parts and the likelihood of reciprocity
That makes a lot of sense to me from a practical perspective. Is a protection for the driver from malicious enforcement
Keep in mind, however, that there seems to be an intentional handicap if you’re on an older version of macOS: you can’t install the latest Swift.

I have an Intel-based MacBook Pro that doesn’t update beyond macOS 13, and it runs neither Xcode 16 nor Swift 6. Presumably, one might be able to build Swift 6 from source. My workaround is containers.

xAI's mission is to "understand the universe". Not sure how that aligns with X.
From my perspective (talking very generally about the mood and environment here), it’s important to remember that Google is a very, very big company with many products and activities outside of AI.

As far as I can see, there is a mix of frustration at the slowness of launching, optimism/excitement that there are some really awesome things cooking, and indifference from a lot of people who think AI/LLMs as a product category are quite overhyped.
In popular US culture the pursuit of wealth, is framed as crass. Movies that some see as promoting wealth accumulation are often actually critiques against wealth.

A meta question one should ask is: why do you want to write a technical blog in the first place? If it is fame and fortune, blogging about your favorite obscure technology probably isn’t the easiest path.

On the other hand, if it is for the purpose of your own understanding, then it doesn’t matter whether you have enough pictures, or your first paragraph elicits sufficient dopamine to compete with TikTok. By default the most important audience will be yourself in the future, and by definition if you’re rereading the article you’re already interested. Instead, you should focus on highly detailed and precise language which help you understand the topic in the future.

Likewise, if it is for the purpose of bolstering your professional profile, it’s unlikely your content will be evaluated on how catchy it is.

I genuinely have no idea what he's done that's incredible. I don't even know what xAI does apart from being a chatbot inside of twitter.
Super interesting article.

I really want to know what kind of classification this is. Could you at least give one example? Like "Has autism" or more like "Is user's phone number"?
It's a fair question. I'm not sure that I need to have my mind blown. There's certainly philosophy I read where somebody will be writing broadly about a school of thought or a niche aspect. I think what I find dull about Byung-Chul Han is that he writes with the affect of gusto, but there is no insightful pay-off to match. There's nothing to grab on to, at least for me.
Big Tech and "captive audience venues"
I love how you highlight the dual-use dilemma of technology. You’re absolutely right—it all comes down to how technology is used. Regarding radioactivity: most countries strictly prohibit private individuals from handling radioactive materials. Even though some nations possess nuclear weapons, we haven’t reached a point where everyone has unrestricted access to radioactivity and can harm themselves—unlike social media and its algorithms, which are far less regulated.

Sensationalist methods only address the symptoms, not the root cause. I agree with you here—trying to recapture students’ attention with sensational tactics isn’t a real solution.

Regarding the opium of the people:
Karl Marx touched on two key ideas that apply: comfort and relief, alongside illusion and passivity.

When it comes to comfort and relief, likes, comments, and shares on social media create a sense of recognition and belonging. And yes, personalized content acts as an escape from reality—a kind of painkiller that distracts us from real problems. It’s even more troubling because this “drug” is tailored specifically to each individual.

I definitely see the parallels here. However, I’m not convinced that breaking away from this “religion” of social media requires communism, even though Karl Marx was a brilliant thinker. The present shows that, even within existing systems, people can detach themselves from such structures.
Fair. And I didn't look for other papers. If the discussion is simply "unions decrease productivity" however that's defined, that may be true. But by how much? Is that a problem? To whom?

I suspect unionization is better for more people overall.
Tiny nitpick: instead of using the nested circle diagram, I feel like a venn diagram would be more accurate. I don't think that all developers are blog readers.

Solar roofs was one of many scams.

This is Solar City all over again, but at least this time it's not with public investors money.

He can now use the money raised by xAI, to pay off the debt of X, which was bleeding money.

So today in corporate America we have:

- Trump pardoning one of the most obvious scammer of the past 10 years - Trevor Milton

- Trump pardoning some obvious crypto scammers

- Musk using investors money from one of his companies, to bail out his another company, at the valuation he himself set

Unprecedented times. The damage to the rule of law will be hard repair - it will take decades.

To extend your analogy slightly (while recognizing the actual meaning), if you go to an axe throwing venue (range) you dont have to carry insurance, but the range does carry insurance.

If you go into the wilderness where axe throwing is allowed, and you maim or kill someone, you are personally liable to be sued or prosecuted.

If you throw an axe where it is not allowed, you are also personally liable criminally and civilly.

I think it was about 2000 that the minimum wage was introduced here on Airstrip One.

I always thought it was a scam. It turned out it is a scam

It was initially brought in to combat the low wage factory sweat shop workers and those employers paying slave wages.

The same type of scam when they use child abuse scare stories to bring in laws to remove encryption.

This was at a time just after the tories, under margaret Thatcher's government, who dismantled the unions and working rights.

I forsaw exacly what would happen.

Most employers got rid of their staff for all sorts of reasons, then re-employed new staff on minimum wages.

Forward 25 years and most people are paid minimum wages.

Win Win for employers. lose lose for the workers.

A government agency sets the minumum wage amount for the benefit of employers not for the benefit of workers.
