What a dogshit take. The public comment process is anti-democratic? So the public having less input in the process and letting local officials do whatever they want is somehow more democratic?
Stick to working on programming languages that nobody uses, Walter. The pseudo-intellectualism on display here is embarrassing.
I am, yes. Are you? Or is this just a cute response because you thought I wasn't?
Why is it sad? Over 700,000 avoidable deaths from Elon's dismantling of US AID alone, two thirds of them children. Estimated to be 14 million avoidable deaths by 2030.
I think the qualification is unbelievably tame considering what Elon deserves.
Quite interesting how things can be seen so differently, because this was one of the most pointless/dumbest demos I have ever seen in my life. There was no doubt someone could build something like this, the question is always "why"? What problem does this solve?
Sorry, but in world where the vast majority of people can't afford groceries, gas, housing, or healthcare... I just can't look at these silly things the billionaires are spending their money on and get even remotely excited about it. It's just so absolutely tone deaf in the moment we're in right now.
Unions make the world worse? What nonsense is this?
Labor unions gave us the 8 hour workday, overtime pay, child labor bans, workplace safety standards, and union shops generally earn 10-15% more than their non-union counterparts.
Why is it so hard to generate with other models, but trivial with Grok?
And for generating an absolutely gargantuan amount of CSAM and non-consensual sexualized images, but yeah, exfiltrating data too.
5% is awfully optimistic! More like the 0.01%.

How does this work in practice? In my experience, any metrics owned by a group inevitably languish and are largely ignored.
Anything you want to improve needs a DRI.
Blind hatred? Given that, among a multitude of other things, he willingly threw out some sieg heils I think the hatred was easily earned.
If it's actually your 401k, sure you can. Just today I rebalanced my retirement funds away from large cap stocks to avoid this steaming turd that Elon is dumping on the public.
Not OP, but:
1. At my level, the company is not just paying me to do a task the way they want it done, they are paying for my experience to orchestrate the best way to do it. They want an outcome, and I'm responsible for figuring out how to get to that outcome with the right balance of cost, correctness, etc. But yes, the most dystopian reality is what you said.
2. It's not useless, but the AI generated code is absolutely lower quality than what I would have written myself, but there is no desire to clean it up. Companies have always had a disastrously bad understanding of technical debt and they finally have tool they can shove down developers throats that trades even more velocity for even less quality. They're going to take that trade every single time.
> We're not perfect. We've done bad. But, you won't find another nation on earth or in history who has contributed as much to global progress, stability and well-being.
Ooook... but
> Defending the United States of America is never the wrong move.
is not the correct logical conclusion from that. The correct conclusion would be that it is our ability to reflect on the bad things we've done that have allowed us to make forward progress.
Universally defending something without considering the circumstances and context is rarely ever the correct stance.
I don't really think its fair to lump hams into that behavioral bucket. It's certainly a personality type that tends to get attracted to lots of different technical hobbies.
But it was also flat last year and the financials are atrociously bad. Reality is catching up.
> I used to be friends with Jack back in the day, before this AI stuff even all kicked off, once you know who people really are inside, it's easy to know how they will act when the going gets rough.
This sounds quite backwards to me. It's been abundantly clear in today's times that, in fact, you only really know who somebody really is when they're under stress. Most people, it seems, prefer a different facade when there is nothing at stake.
> And given that in Austin they just reached parity with Waymo (i.e. completely unsupervised robotaxi service), they are not doing badly.
Parity is not defined by how willing one is to let their robots kill the general public.
This is purely anecdotal but I've heard from other riders that the car tells you when it's happening, and it's never happened in my 10+ rides so far.
Tesla won't achieve true safe autonomy without a significant change in strategy.

Another Google product whose launch will be used to justify somebody's promotion, only to be left for dead only a few months later after said promoted person moves on to something else.
Why would I even bother getting mildly invested in this when the product launch/promotion incentive structure at Google is so well known?
Personally, I prefer prepending `uv` to my commands because they're more stateless that way. I don't need to remember which terminal my environment is sourced in, and when copying and pasting commands to people I don't need to worry about what state their terminal is it. It just works.
I haven’t used it for sim racing but I’ve used it for flight sim and never noticed the latency being problematic.
What frameworks would you recommend for new people learning about embedded systems?
It's deliberately incomplete. You can be completely factual and, simultaneously, intentionally deceiving.
It's pretty hard to kill 40 people in 5 seconds with a knife.
> If you penalize the rich, they just move, and then the new system will stop class mobility.
This is a myth created by the rich so that you won't tax them.
