I would believe this comment if it was some other billionaire. Elon Musk is a talented executive for tech companies. He got his start as a founding employee for paypal and moved onto tesla, which is essentially a tech company that makes cars

2 quarters of negative GDP growth is the textbook definition of a recession, and we have had 2

Cruise is going the uber route for their service. The robo-cars are already available in some areas

>> - There is no hard guarantee at runtime as everything is partially/optionally typed (including your deps).

Most typed languages don't have hard guarantees at runtime. With java, using reflection you can do all kinds of weird things at runtime. C++ has fewer guarantees because there is no VM and can't even introspect objects to see their real type. Dependencies are a real issue with TS, but many libraries are written in typescript and the type files are really robust.

>> The types are not used to produce faster code at runtime (like in a compiled language).

The V8 intepreter will actually do this at runtime. Usually it takes less than a second for v8 to optimize the javascript, and it will recognize that many functions and objects use the same interface and optimize appropriately. If you think about it the types only help so much because once you have the code graph, it becomes really easy to find the type and optimize the memory layout.

You should consider more linux friendly hardware next time if you still want to run linux. I have mostly owned thinkpads and desktops set up with ubuntu/mint, and my issues have been few and far between.

The GS-66 is a gaming laptop with an NVidia card. The nouveau driver does pretty good, but I find trying to upgrade to the latest version or installing Nvidia's official driver causes more problems than it solves. For the wifi, the Intel Killer AX from only a quick google search looks like it has known issues.

There are a lot of hardware companies that are actively hostile to linux users. MSI is definitely one. Lenovo's Thinkpad and Dell's XPS lines have a big audience to test and fix issues.

MSI can make extra money off of window's users after sale, but HW companies only profit off linux users from selling the hardware.

The danger of tools like this is eliminating those margins. This type of automation will eliminate junior graphic designer roles and add new requirements for the experienced graphic designers. Both of these affect the job market by making it harder to get started and stay. There will always be the high end and boutique jobs. The picassos and rembrandts will continue to find work.

The starving artist who sells out to create ads or create content for commercial entities will find those opportunities dried up

A single agency using this tool effectively could "in theory" produce 500 times the artistic output from a single artist. Vastly shrinking the market for a decent paying career.

There is an economic side to cooking if you don't optimize and there is a lot of content out there that helps you optimize. Excluding eating, I spend 30 minutes cooking and washing each day

This is so true. I can eat steak everyday if I buy it from costco

I also notice that restaurants make food "better" tasting by adding more salt and oil. More "profitable" by reducing healthy components for cheaper, ie more carbs and less meats and veggies. Its so much healthier to cook for yourself, and you can learn so much about your body when you are able to control what is going in.
