Yes, it is much easier to train someone to use AI than to train them to have sufficiently baked-in math and language skills to be able to leverage the AI.


Integration of the air cooling and water heating. For example, I have a air conditioner pumping heat out of my house right next to a box that's putting heat into the water coming into my house.


Ah it does ac on top, neat. Thanks!


We are a happy paying customer at $DAYJOB.

Also, I looked into omfiles for a project recently, I was very impressed with their speed and blown away by the compression ratios!


When I watched a very short clip juxtaposed next to a clip of a nazi salute, then it looked like one to me.

But when I watched it in context, it looked like a man putting a hand on his heart and then proffering his thanks to the audience.

My belief is that it was most likely not a nazi salute and is not relevant evidence in the important task of assessing Musk's political stances.


Looked like a man putting a hand on his heart and then saluting the fuhrer.


Yes, when he said the Jews were intentionally importing substandard humans into western nations to undermine the US, I didn't need hand gestures to think he's a Nazi either.


Yes this is much stronger and relevant evidence


I don't follow Musk's utterances. Is this a joke or something Musk has actually said?


Musk responded "you have said the actual truth" to a tweet saying this.


Though he apologised:

>"I'm sorry for that tweet or post," Musk said Wednesday. "It was foolish of me."


That apology is for posting it, not for believing it.


When Musk purchased and rebranded Twitter as X he also unbanned a large number of accounts famed for Nazi and similar race based content.

He has famously thumbs-ed up significant chunks of such content and in the event mentioned here replied to an explicit statement (as outlined about) as being "the actual truth".

See, eg: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67446800

He is an unquestionable fan of Nazi like content, many will shrug it off as his grandfather was an actual Nazi fan (having to move from Canada(?) to South Africa because of such beliefs), and his uncle (IIRC, certainly a close family relative) was a senior member of the South African apartheid government.


I watched the whole thing live, that was a Sieg Heil snap and all, and it fits with his edgelord persona.

Your belief is incorrect


If it wasn't, though, why wouldn't he apologize and unequivocally denounce nazi-ism after it happened instead of trolling, playing gotcha games to pwn the libs and doubling down? His jokes about the Holocaust and mocking critics made it worse. He loves reckless, performative provocation and to stir the pot.

Terrible branding for Tesla of him to singlehandedly permanently alienate the majority of his customer base.


Did he joke about the holocaust? I googled and there were some jokes about nazis but I didn't see a holocaust one.


It's fun to sit down and draw what the board looks like when you cut and flatten the torus before you watch the video!

Bonus points if you hit upon the other 2D projection that is useful (I didn't)


that'd be a fun puzzle!


The way you learn is totally different from the way a novice learns; they don't have a vast memorised store of knowledge, let alone the connected structure over that memorised knowledge. When you learn something, it gets incoporated thanks to these foundations.

But the foundations start with memorisation.


Projects are less efficient for learning foundational skills. They have their place, but with infinite funds I would still give my children an education with a bedrock of boring drill and testing and memorisation.


I just went and had a flutter at being a high school math teacher. I went in saying 'I never used math to create until my honours year, I want different for my students'.

I soon changed my mind; I think those of us who become expert have often have really rich memories of a project where we learnt so much, but we just don't remember episodically all the accumulated learning that happened in boring classrooms to enable the project-induced higher order synthesis.


Nothing, they just don't make the headlines.


Also, if you were someone picking a stock, which is likely to go up higher? One where the stock demonstrably keeps going up and to the right, or one that doesn’t?

The issue is everyone’s own greed. Including the old ladies and pension fund managers.

Which provides many benefits - but also, when push comes to shove - exposes the ‘teeth’ more directly.

The stock market just allows more abstract and scalable access to that greed, that otherwise would be more randomly distributed.


> One where the stock demonstrably keeps going up and to the right, or one that doesn’t?

The one that doesn’t go to the right, because if they figured out how to stop or go back in time, they probably have some smart people working there.


They have a term for ‘doesn’t go to the right’ in business - liquidation. It has nothing to do with time travel, and investors really don’t like it most of the time.


> Okay, but you can do the same in dynamically typed Python

But the rust code is still safer, e.g. you haven't checked for an `AttributeError` in case `req.cookies`, the point is Rust protects you from this rabbit-hole, if you're prepared to pay the price of wrestling the compiler.
