I'm not sure why people put so much emphasis on the valuation of X? It's pretty clear that Musk doesn't care about the valuation and views it as a passion project. 1) He literally told advertisers to go fuck themselves 2) It

Very useful, thank you very much for sharing.

Could you give a range if possible? I've always been curious as to what those salaries are like. Are we talking 300-600k / yr? More? Thank you

The House Select Committee on Assassinations was established to investigate the assassinations of JFK and MLK. After their investigation, they concluded that the official narrative was most likely wrong and they found a high probability tha

Funny enough, if you look at polling data of Americans... amongst people who actually lived during the JFK assassination & later investigation and kept up with all the details.... only about 11% believed the official narrative. More tha

Oh... I didn't realize you could change the link like that? Uhh isn't that a big flaw with HN if you can? (for example, link to a blog post that would be popular with the community to get upvotes, then switch it up for your own co

Nah Andrej is still active on [Twitter]( https://i.imgur.com/KEa6dx4.png ) I'm guessing he's less active now because he's back at OpenAI and not on sabbatical anymore.

The entire discussion is based on subject matter experts. I asked you to name a few and you didn't name a single one. > My friends left. I left. Ok? That has no relevance to our discussion.

I'm guessing 1) HN readers don't like Elon Musk (I don't like him either) so they don't like Twitter 2) I implied HN readers are doing something wrong (as any other human being, they don't like being told that) 3) I

Yep exactly. I’m also a big formula 1 fan and it’s the only place where I can get insight from engineers who are involved in the day to day of building race cars for ex. Reddit’s f1 subreddit has really degraded in quality unfortunately (ju

Yep exactly, that too!

by jjackson5324 3y ago
Interesting because the content I get on X is far, far more valuable than HN + Reddit + Facebook combined. It’s the only place you can follow subject matter experts and get their real time thoughts. I think people on HN just don’t know how

Gergely Orosz has a good post on this where he splits it into companies that have engineering as a "cost center" vs. a "profit center" https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/profit-centers-co...

Sure, I don't like drug cheats either. But if you're actually interested in the fighting, then his style is one of the most interesting & creative.

Yep, a lot of people haven't realized how insanely popular UFC has gotten. It has a larger worldwide fanbase than baseball & NFL since every culture understands fighting (whereas a russian or chinese person probably doesn't kn

Yep, that's the case with 99% of self-help books. Even really fantastic books like Atomic Habits. Now, I solely consume books like this by turning them into a PDF/txt file and uploading it to chatGPT. Then I just ask it for a chap
