While I struggle to see the value here, I dont trust the official numbers and applaud their efforts to come up with alternatives.

However, I fear they conflate "living wage" with desire for full time work in this metric. It also seem to so closely track the official unemployment rate as to not be useful.

Also, as others states, 26k is a surprisingly low number to be called a living wage. I think that number also varies depending on household make up, but I can see why they skipped that complexity.


I am so jaded, i cannot help jumping to the conlusion that to me they wanted to data to continue voter supression efforts.

Nah. It they want to make sure that Trump gets his cut from the sale.

I literally just ran into this a few moments ago. haha.

I said "maybe think for a while on ideas and then give me a few options?" Opus 5 still just did the thing, while 4.8 gave me options. Same exact prompt and context. Really annoying.

I added a system prompt paragraph explaining that a question is just a question, whether or not I’m in plan mode.

It still just takes the question as a directive and jumps to action when I’m looking for clarification.


Hum. Interesting.

Tencent put out this study showing that Elixir seems to reign supreme: https://autocodebench.github.io/


I mostly use Elixir and JS, and I'm constantly surprised by how much easier and better the code quality is in Elixir, especially given the much smaller training data. I've started to use it for all my personal projects. I think Elixir's terseness, introspection capabilities, and strong ecosystem-wide quality guards really help.

At work, we use C#. I'm shocked at how much worse it is. I've also used a bunch of Python, but I still feel the quality isn't as good as the codebase grows, but I didnt put as much effort trying to improve it.


What issues are you seeing using LLMs with C#?


Really wish they had shared more details. It was so high-level that we didn't really learn anything substantive.


Hmm it's almost like there might not be anything of substance to share...


They had a working car. Unlike most other reveals


But we already know they can make a car.


The whole point was to please future shareholders.


Maybe the product isn't the car but the stock.


A new car look without steering wheel and pedals. A working robovan. I don't think people understand the complexity of creating a hardware prototype of anything. This can't be ChatGPTed


They've shown working shells of cars at every single reveal of their past cars without the interior filled in. We know they can do that. What's in question is whether they can make a driverless taxi.


Yeah and making 50 new cars that drive around is a lot harder than making a one-off prototype.


Wow, great! They put motors and wheels on a chassis with a screen and hardcoded them to drive in a loop. So impressive.


The demo is open to the eventgoers and lets you choose your destination. It's quite polished and a lot more advanced than "hardcoding to drive in a loop".


I saw a video from people in the car. The screen allowed them to pick between 2 different destinations. It’s not like they could just punch in any old address.


That's a pretty generous way to describe a ~20-acre geofenced, low-speed ride using a pre-mapped area in which they likely tested this out quite a bit prior to the event.


Why not demo it for the livestream then?


They have a pretty decent robot thing going on.


It's 2024 and the Optimus can almost do some of the things Asimo could in 2000.


They say they are collecting the water, not dumping it. They say they even collect rain water that lands in the ponds in case it is contaminated.


The cops came by to arrest the criminal but luckily the criminal quickly thought of a brilliant scheme.

“I didn’t commit the crime and, in fact, I hold myself to a higher standard than the law requires.”

Crestfallen the police walk away. “It’s air tight, bullet proof really. He said he didn’t do it so case closed.”


Yes they say a lot of things, for example they say they have a permit to do this for example but the permit is for a different purpose (storm water, not industrial process discharge). But among the claims they make the one you cite is not one. They say "finally, some water does leave the area of the pad, mostly from water released prior to ignition and after engine shutdown or launch."

Look this is very simple: this is one of the most basic environmental laws (don't dump stuff into the river), which requires you demonstrate that you are not in fact dumping stuff into the river. You do that through the permitting process. If SpaceX is doing all the correct things there should be no problem getting a permit like everyone else does.

Again this is not some government over-reach, this is probably the first 1-2 environmental regulations you would come up with and which no one would disagree with. There isn't an exception for being a very cool dude.

Gattaca, because so many people limit themselves by what they think is possible.


I’m happy someone mentioned this movie. I am constantly thinking about this quote:

> Vincent: You wanna know how I did it? This is how I did it Anton. I never saved anything for the swim back.


Andrew Niccol's movies are always thought provoking. Even his Netflix movie Anon.


I loved Gattaca. I've seen it many times.

I tried to like Anon, but I didn't. Same thing with another one his movies, "In Time"


Some are not great, but all are thought-provoking.

Lord of War was good, inspired by true events.


If I had to choose a favourite, this might be it.
