This is missing at least 9bn of Tesla subsidies. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/musk-embraces-trump-scorns-subsidies-tesla-still-lobbies-us-benefits-2024-08-12/

Tesla’s first major manufacturing facility, in Fremont, California, was developed with the help of a $465 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy, repaid three years later. More recently, Tesla has reaped almost $9 billion since 2018 by selling what are known as “regulatory credits” securities filings show.

The boring company also depend on us government contracts.

Wainwright has already condemned it and Leonard Cohen’s estate has issued a cease and desist order in response.

I’m expecting the full Elvis.

Fuck palantir, I want to know how Sauron is voting.

They recommend that you do vote, and don’t vote for anyone except Harris.

But they don’t explicitly recommend you vote for Harris.

This is super serious voting strategy you guys.

It’s not really legal in the UK. It’s unenforceable on claims under 5k and for claims over 5k the courts will make a case by case decision if arbitration is appropriate.

However, lots of companies still add these bullshit clauses as a way to bully people out of seeing a lawyer.

Both. It’s satire.

The “benefit” of world hunger is that it keeps people locked in their place and entrenches the status quo. This is actually true, and the author believes it, but he doesn’t like it.

Many people benefit from world hunger though, and every time you hear that poverty is a hard problem to solve you should ask yourself, how much of that is actual problems and how much is the status quo resisting change?

And all the doom games.

If you hate billionaires but like steak, have you tried eating the rich?

That’s just what they want you to think.

He fucked up dropping out as well as everything else. People can still vote 🪱 in a bunch of states.

The original case was just bullshit made up by a bored journalist.

In 2007, an article in the American Psychologist found “no evidence for the presence of 38 witnesses, or that witnesses observed the murder, or that witnesses remained inactive”.

It really comes down to what you’re used to. If you use Windows tools then you already know many of the workarounds for Windows and you don’t know the tools that haven’t been ported there.

For example, you know not to use Python directly, but that you have to install anaconda instead, or whatever the current problems with Python development on Windows are.

The big obvious thing that you can’t get away from is that you have to do things differently if you have develop for two different OSs with a view to deploying on Linux.

In particular support for shell scripts is crap on Windows. I could learn powershell or there’s workarounds using WSL and a bunch of other stuff that I don’t need to care about, but I’d rather not bother.

I mean coding is difficult enough as it is, I wouldn’t choose to use an OS that makes it even harder.

I use Linux because it makes my life easier. It has better support for development. Some of the other stuff is maybe not as easy or polished, but the support for dev tools and the ease of deploying to from local machines to servers that are also running Linux makes up for it.

If I wanted more effort I’d still be using Windows. It would force me to work on cross platform development and deployment. The idea that there’s value in making things unnecessarily hard is just weird. I want Linux to be as simple as possible to use, so I can spend that effort on things that actually matter.

I’m still hoping this happens and leads to a WWE style outcome.

Elon has a heart attack on the ring and falls on top of Zuck pinning and smothering him. Zuck is forced to tap and Elon is stretchered out the ring

It just says can be activated. Not “automatically activates”.

Kill switches are overly dramatic silliness. Anything with a power button has a kill switch. It sounds impressive but it’s just theatre.

You err’d fucked-up twice.

Once when you flat out failed to find anything using Google, when other people clearly had no trouble at all. If you’re telling the truth, this just means you suck at Google. There’s no reason to be googling chatgpt’s hallucinations instead of searching for the stuff an actual human told you about.

The second time was when you took chatgpt seriously. Just don’t. It’s a very expensive toy that occasionally does something cool. We’re still trying to figure out if it’s actually useful for anything, or if it’s just really good at appearing useful.

Google returns sources that you can evaluate for accuracy.

Chatgpt just says things.

Every output of chatgpt should end with “source: just trust me bro”.
