I worked at Tesla when they announced the Roadster 2 and said they’d start production. That never happened. Funny to see everyone eat this up, let’s see when or if they deliver.

I struggle with this. I think i'm Aphantic, but then again I can imagine a red apple in my mind. But if i have my eyes closed, it's not like I see it in the black of my closed eyes. I just imagine it, with some detail but also limited detail? I guess that puts me slightly on the aphantasia side of the scale, but it feels very hard to understand my own subjective experience in contrast to the written version.

I think Macron is incredibly smart to be investing in STEM in France. There are plenty of very intelligent and successful French people in the US who are very unhappy with the direction of the US, attracting that talent home will serve them well.

I mean, to be fair there is nothing but shallow content available considering it's all stochastic responses that are incredibly difficult to actually measure and make real scientific inferences about. Until that changes I think it's going to be constant slop about optimization.

Can someone help me understand the argument that the FTC blocking the merger was bad?

The argument I have seen is that blocking it resulted in Spirit dying and people losing their jobs and there being less competition.

Wouldn’t the same exact thing have happened regardless? Am i supposed to believe that Jet Blue would have kept all of those employees? There would be one less competitor anyway, and in the merger case they’re even more powerful now meaning competing is harder.

It seems to me it’s just that creditors want to be paid out by a merger rather than paid our for cents on the dollar when it died on it’s own.

Am I crazy for thinking this is possibly a US cyber attack on the infrastructure to justify Trump's coming actions?

Does Mistral come close to Opus 4.6 with any of their models?

And? The claim is about AI.

This will backfire on Sam someday, he’s just a pawn in the agenda of the Trump admin.

Why? The author is a contributor to that project. What’s wrong with posting this project?

Blink is for completion, not fuzzy find.

Mate, the entire political class around the world is involved. The fact that you focus on “socialists” which Chomsky is not, says more about your commitment to ideology than anything else.

Lost me at the first sentence. That is an insanely large claim to make with no evidence.

I do, but i am not claiming that by 2027 i’m going to destroy all jobs and forever change the economy.

There are skills I learn through training and no longer need documentation for.

I didn’t burn shit tons of energy and water consuming the entirety of the internet and the need my user to set up hundreds of markdown files to help me writr boilerplate code.

We’re supposedly so close to AGI but these LLMs need markdown files presented to them on how to do things. Hard for those two truths to coexist.

You’re right, owning a hand gun will be effective means to rebel against the most militarized government in the world.

The administration chose not to comment, a simple denial could have sufficed. It’s obvious.

Or it’s inauthentic and people don’t want AI slop that anyone can generate.

It seems like they need the self-awareness to say "if we have gotten it so wrong that we needed to drastically lift and change the foundation multiple times, then maybe we need to rethink our first principles"

I can't even sign in via the CLI, it's opened the browser window and had me sign in multiple times and can't proceed past that.

Ah yes, let's put an occupying force into New York a city that globally is known for not having law and order and being a complete mess. It's not like giant cities with millions of residents will always have crime and homelessness and issues. We should send the entire military in!

Very cool and normal to have military forces operating internally to scare citizens and immigrants!

I will take motivated reasoning for 300 Alex.

I actually got stuck in my parent's Tesla with them in the car on a really hot day. The car battery died and so we were stuck in the car because it was bricked. I understand there are mechanical latches to open the doors in that case, but I didn't know that at the time. In the heat of the moment and the panic, it was really hard to figure that out. We ended up contacting Tesla service, but I can imagine it would have been even more terrifying and risky if we were outside cell service. It's just poor design.

It's just so crazy to me to see a galaxy 420 million light years away. That is so much time for what we're seeing to have changed. I presume life can form within that window given the right conditions, so to some degree it just feels a bit sad that the distance is so great that we can't actually see what may exist in this moment that far away

It’s so funny to me when people still believe Elon when it comes to this or deadlines. I used to work for him and he always overpromises

Friendly reminder that in 2017 he was saying a car would drive autonomously from LA to NY in a year. It is now 2024 and that has not happened.

Friendly reminder that Tesla Semis are still not fully delivered and running.

Friendly reminder that the Roadster 2 is not rolling off the production line (people put down deposits too)!

I disagree that it's the low risk, low reward path. The risk and reward isn't in the type of work but in the companies you choose. You can do boring low risk backend work, but at a startup with the opportunity to 100x your RSU's or lose your job.

Does it actually handle it though? I use bun to run my remix app at work and I have run into ESM/CJS issues.

If you can’t refute it just say there’s an agenda.

So it begins...
