dartos··on Tesla deliveries down 43% in Europe while EVs are up 31%
It’s “when”

Honestly I don’t see trump living through this term, let alone another.

No other republican has his cult of personality, so idk what they’re going to do when he keels over.

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

I don’t think it will either, but the market does, apparently.

Look at the TSLA price since the announcement.

3 years at that high of a position is a little short.

But, yeah, seems like just a nothing burger from the Verge.

He doesn’t care. Spacex is more important for him, personally. He has a larger stake (percentage wise) in spacex.

Also, Tesla just jumped bc Musk said that there’s going to be full sell driving in china…. Next year…

We’re back to 2017-era strategies but in china this time.

I’d say the beginner’s guide is more pretentious, but it’s not as funny.

I still really liked it, though.

It’s not precisely that lawyers are expensive. There are affordable lawyers.

The issue is that a corporation can afford to hire teams of 10s of lawyers to pour hours into any given case.

The real problem is what to do about it?

Suggesting some limits is akin to suggesting that laws shouldn’t be explored, dissecting, and understood down to the letter, which it should.

I hear what you’re saying and was intentionally making a tangential joke about how “10x dev” is meaningless corporate speak and anyone who thinks otherwise is a little too lost in the sauce.

I think you’re operating with a very limited understanding of what goes into law.

Law isn’t like programming. There’s no compiler. There’s no specific target machine code to which all laws must boil down to.

You can’t automate law, since the desired outcome for each case is not known from the start. That’s the whole “justice is blind” saying.

The issue is that the laws governing corporations were written by corporations and have lots and lots of loopholes.

To match your analogy: You’re suggesting an entire codebase rewrite when, truthfully, we need to refactor our laws surrounding what corporations can and can’t do and what punishment should be for corporations and the people that run them.

A rewrite always sounds appealing when you first join a project, before understanding why architecture decisions were made in the first place.

What specifically do you think is inapt or archaic about our legal system other than the individuals that make it up?

dartos··on IBM's CEO doesn't think AI will replace programmers anytime soon
Yeah, they do it all the time.

they’re talking at the devs, but really talking to the market, since their job is partially to pump their own stock price.

You can’t believe public CEO statements.

The only thing more wild than thinking 10x devs is more than corporate speak is thinking that LLMs could be 10x devs.

> I feel like the root cause system built for the 1700s

The root cause is that lawyers are expensive a corporations have more money than just about anyone else.

Couple that with a legislature which pretty much only passes laws in a reactionary manner and the fact that corporate lobbying has been a mainstay in US politics for the majority of the lifetime of the US and you get what we have now.

> developers tend to do whatever the fuck they want anyway

Can you get me a job where you work?

Everywhere I’ve worked in the past 10 years as a developer, I’ve had 0 ability to do whatever the fuck I want.

That last quote hurt me so much.

If that’s my job, why do I have no influence on the product?

What’s the point of product managers?

> Yeah like meta killing their DEI programs to suck up to Trump.

Or because Zuckerberg wanted to avoid “life in prison”

Which may be worse, actually.

It very well may be.

That’s why I’m going to wait to believe these stories until more time has passed.

If these were just a blip come a few months, then they were a fluke.

If it becomes a pattern… well it wouldn’t be surprising…

I’m no fan of the current administration at all, but I’m also weary of just accepting stories that confirm my bias.

I _feel_ like the administration would brag about blocking potential European terrorists or something of this was actually going on intentionally.

My gut tells me that the people getting blocked at the border are either running into extremely overzealous border guards OR are making some kind of ruckus anyway and complaining to the media after provoking guards somehow.

Still not acceptable behavior by border guards, but it’d be a far cry from a top down order.

I guess we’ll see how often these stories keep popping up.

Sending feedback also doesn’t work.

Classic AI sites.

Tbf this is the nicest looking AI site I’ve seen yet.

People come out to physically counter protest Nazi groups.

Idk why that energy doesn’t come out during elections.

I mean all optimization algorithms do is game a benchmark. That’s the whole point.

The hard part is making the benchmark meaningful in the first place.

Oh yeah. Started copying at the wrong “who”
dartos··on Meta pirated books to train its AI
Yeah right at the start it says

> who imports copies or phonorecords into the United States in violation of section 602, is an infringer of the copyright or right of the author, as the case may be.

Copying itself is infringing. OC has no clue what they’re talking about.

You’re making up terms like “locally” and you’re moving the goalpost on your first (apparently incorrect statement)

TIL

To what end?
dartos··on Meta pirated books to train its AI
Really dude?

I think a solid argument can be made that facebook downloaded and shared pirated material with literally every ML employee they had at the time…

EDIT: to those who downvoted, why? Do you disagree with what I said?

dartos··on Elon Musk's Doge Moves to Gut Local Libraries While No One Is Looking
The guy literally wants everyone to be stupid.

I swear if they start cutting books and exhibits about things specifically musk dislikes and we don’t see comparisons to book burnings, I’m going to lose all faith in the people of this country.
