Elon did what he's done for the past decade. Can't help but play to a crowd and let the lawyers figure it out later. This is a cocktail of calling a rescue diver a pedophile, mocking all skills that aren't coders, and unneces

Well you could ask paulg, who said that. But use email, not twitter.

People don't generally die because of a YouTube video. And if that were a risk, you could report it and Google would take it down.

I think you can't separate the scale of Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, etc from their product. As has been demonstrated by the wave of "twitter replacements". But if you could separate scale, I agree. And I think that's the

Companies cannot control their "AI" because their output is beyond the scale of their ability to QA. BTW, this is precisely why companies also cannot control the moderation or content of their networks. The number of people postin

You mean the guy who said he named his other co "Alameda Research" so it wouldn't sound like a bank, even though it basically is, might be shifty?

Doctors and lawyers have to sacrifice more for similar pay because their work doesn’t scale. A lawyer and doctor serves one customer at a time. A programmer at your average SaaS app produces work that serves many, many customers at once. An

Maybe don't bury the answer in the 16th paragraph of the article, Knowable? This is bullshit framing. Almost as bullshit as the Y axis in the Land Use chart.

What I was told by a friend at an OEM is that lower-end the demand for lower end Subarus and Hondas was so high in the NYC area that it made sense to turn down the all cash offer as they'd likely sell the car with a loan the next day.

It doesn't. Dude's riding his hobbyhorse into a wall. Most cars that left the road were the oldest and heaviest. New cars bought under that program tended to be economy cars and are already a decade+ old. To suggest that it took i

I'm not optimistic for the lab or workshop use case. The filters in the ears likely don't filter VOCs and in a woodshop you'd be replacing the (likely costly) filters very frequently due to the size and volume of the particul

The tone and approach here is exactly what I'd expect from a man whose chief complaint as a band leader is that jazz musicians interpret his music too much and classical musicians follow it too literally.

The tell is the author had to resort to using the Buzz Lightyear movie as an example of rehabbing a villain. I think they dramatically misread Toy Story, which is disqualifying given the subject of their thesis. Biased and lazy, a twofer.

But the package that's generating all these numbers, handlebar-helpers, does precisely that. Sure, the spammer gets internet points, but those don't matter.

But from the average programmer's perspective this is clearly something they want. I see this general trend as a symptom of the inadequacy of JS to out-of-the-box address the tasks it's used for, which (as we note here) opens an o

Relatedly: the appendix section "SQL Primer" in Obe and Hsu's 'PostGIS in Action' is my favorite quick intro to SQL and the first stop I give anyone looking to learn about the language. https://www.mannin

This right here. GIS is accessible to anyone who knows Javascript, Python, and SQL thanks to the open source GIS ecosystem. Previously it was the sole domain of ESRI priests. Now this is a net good thing, but there are downsides. Generalist

Our vaccine effort is a perfect example of this. We got heroic, efficient results in developing vaccines because the requirements were so clear. Distribution is much, much harder!
