What an incredibly cringe comment. Names are used to reference a person, Elon as a name makes it painstakingly obvious who is being talked about. Mark pointedly does not. To call someone a loser and dribble about this asinine analysis of fa

Cherry picking an instance of complexity is not a particularly fair way to judge a language. It would be like explaining how to encode the lambda calculus in C++ templates and then claiming C++ is too complex. As far as I have read, Pin has

Twitter is going to not exist in 2 years. The financials make no sense, and we already have influencers making fun of subscribers. Subscribing is not only going to create a dichotomy that drives away "economy-of-scale" users but i

The Curry-Howard Correspondence is about proof systems. You would have a very hard time finding a proof theorist that says it's okay to have an undecidable proof checker or an inconsistent one. For that reason, only _typed_ lambda calc

They typically just purchase the company instead. See: Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Apple. Let's not forget that Elon Musk's real success has been in marketing. He has created a cult of personality, claimed his efforts are for the g

Is the lawsuit itself not evidence? Do you think employees are sitting there thinking "let's waste money and time on a lawsuit that will have no impact." There must have been some good faith believe that Musk had no intention

You are assuming both: that there was in fact 60 days notice (how!?) and that there is in fact a severance package. Yet, why would you not be openly communicative of this if you intend to give it? So how is it legal nonsense if the lawsuit

Being rich has almost nothing to do with your ability, talent, or intelligence. It the single most important factor is luck. This is why you often find CEOs looking down on those with PhDs, because they have an inflated sense of self-worth

Depends on the codebase. Go read the source code for GHC and tell me how quickly you could add a new primitive type that consists of all twos-complement 7-bit numbers. A pretty trivial change for someone whose steeped in the codebase, likel

I'm honestly curious if that is legal, it sounds like fraud. Not a lawyer of course.

Except there is nothing but idealism behind the idea that this is true. Indeed, we have AGI already, they are called humans, and the progress we see in the development of AI is not exponentially explosive. The only exponential growth we

Retrofitting the set theoretic definitions is trivial. Take the set of cauchy real numbers, remove all reals equal to a real-that-would-be-a-rational, i.e. constant sequences. Union together this set with the set of rationals defined as rat

People like to say this with basically no evidence. It's basically a conspiracy theory at this point. In fact, I've had TikTok videos, in the app itself, claiming the same thing. Man, those CCP folks are just really, really good!
