Musk wants to know how much the system costs. The information being provided seems as relevant as the article telling us the engineer was a “mother of two”.

The more I look at this quote the stupider it gets, which is a shame because the article is quite informative

BoastfulDaedra , in “It’s not that hard”

You’re not that hard either, Elon.

some_guy , in “It’s not that hard”

When stupid people wanna sound smart.

Skates , in “It’s not that hard”

I constantly feel the need to argue with this dumb fuck and his 99% wrong opinions. I usually have to take a step back, remember it’s not worth it, and then move on. It would be a great help if I had a Firefox add-on that precedes all of musk’s tweets with "retard weighing in: ", just as a reminder that he’s also allowed a point of view, despite his mental issues.

BoastfulDaedra ,

If I was still on Twitter, that would be a great idea.

I remember someone once created a firefox addon that made all of Trump’s tweets look like they were drawn with crayon. Someone should make a new version of that for Musk.

haui_lemmy ,

Pretty sure you‘re only using the r-bomb and „mental issues“ in a joking way but its kind of not funny.

Musk is a spoiled, unempathetic, overhyped idiot who claims to be autistic… perfect example that autistic people can be cretins as well.

But a lot of autistic people are getting called the r-word and its not ok. Mental (health) issues are not a stigma. They are okay and normal. Being an asshole isnt normal or okay though.

Duke_Nukem_1990 ,

Yesh kinda weird how ok a lot of the users here are with using the r-word slur.

haui_lemmy ,

A little disturbing, ngl. Some might have grown up in a time or place where getting bullied and mistreated was no bid deal. Its actually good to see these things changing.

Gabu ,

By definition you can’t be normal if you’re neurodivergent…

haui_lemmy ,

No idea if you‘re trying to offend people but „not normal“ is a term used to exclude people from a social group. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/normal

The term used to distinguish from is „typical“.

Gabu ,

From the very source you provided:

[…] by Late Latin normālis had also come to mean “according to a rule”, from which modern English senses of the word derive: in the 1800s, as people began to quantitatively study things like height and weight and blood pressure, the usual or most common values came to be referred to as “normal”, and by extension values regarded as healthy or desirable came to be called “normal” regardless of their usuality.

I don’t think anyone of sane mind would argue against the notion that it’s more desirable, and by definition healthier, to be born neurotypical than neurodivergent.

haui_lemmy ,

just exchange the word neurodivergent with black or jewish and neurotypical with white or christian and you see the problem.

Provided you are “sane”.

Gabu ,

“Just completely change your argument and it becomes problematic” is hardly convincing. In fact, you’ve committed a classic logical fallacy.

merc ,

By the “divergent” part of the word, you’re right.

It would be like saying “it’s normal to be abnormal”. While it’s true that not everybody is identical, and everyone has their quirks, by defintion “abnormal” is not “normal”.

Irrelevant question ahead->

I have read that Google is dumb and potentially malware carrying extensions sometimes slip through their security and onto the chrome store. Is it true and how does it apply to Firefox

Cypher ,

This is true and also an issue for Firefox.

It is difficult to address, and if the extension isn’t open source you should be especially careful.

That said there are extensions with security reviews performed by the Mozilla foundation and you can see that on the extension page.

Remember when people were calling this dummy the “real life Tony Stark”? Lol.

Steamymoomilk ,

What you mean? He is!

The netflix adaptation… Lmao

Got_Bent ,

If it’s a Netflix adaptation, then wouldn’t it be an overly drawn out true crime documentary?

MrMcGasion ,

We could always start a theory that Elon is the Zodiac Killer. He probably doesn’t deserve that level of notoriety, but it would make for an overly drawn out crime documentary. Just bring in some “experts” off of Ancient Aliens, along with the phrase “could it be” so you have some standing when you’re inevitably sued for slander.

Passerby6497 ,

How can we start a rumor that ElMu is the Zodiac Killer when everyone knows that Rafael “Ted” Cruz was the Zodiac Killer?

Passerby6497 ,

I think you mean The Asylum version of Tony Stark.

HiddenLayer5 , (edited )

Well, Tony Stark is a fictional character in a fictional universe, so real science or how the real world works in general don’t need to apply to him and he only needs to conjure up some cool sounding tech words for the audience and the plot will do the rest. So Elon Musk is indeed like Tony Stark, only issue is he is also indeed the real life version so has no plot to back him up and all the rules of real life still apply.

Tja ,

I was one of those. In my defense, 2012-2015(ish) he really was doing cool things. Tesla and Space X were super innovative and brought optimism. Then a time traveler stepped on a bug, the whole Thailand pedophile fiasco happened and it went downhill from there. Now we have yokes, dumb turn signals and the whole cybertruck, not to mention removing ultrasound sensors to save a few cents and the whole Twitter debacle. At least space X is still somehow unfucked?

In case it helps… I’m sorry.

FiskFisk33 ,

he really was doing cool things.

He was buying cool things

DragonTypeWyvern ,

The thing is after Peter Thiel made him a multi-billionaire against his best efforts, he did actually put that capital into industries that desperately needed someone to prove to the boomers that you could, and should, make money in them.

There’s a whole lot to say about his credit stealing, ego, and the system itself, but the fact remains he does have an eye for talent (that he can exploit for gain)

So, sure, he was just the bankroll, but that doesn’t mean the companies didn’t desperately need that.

FiskFisk33 ,

That’s fair enough!

I’m just so used to people calling him an engineer and an inventor, while, as you say, the cool things he did were as an investor.

BoastfulDaedra ,

I accept and believe your apology. Just pop yourself in the nose once, and we’re totally square buddy.

SpaceCowboy ,
@SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca avatar

I think the problem was he started to believe his own hype that he was a super-genius that knew everything about everything.

I mean I don’t know the nitty gritty details of building an electric car or building rockets. But neither does Elon Musk. Which would be fine except that he tries to talk about these things like he does understand all of the details. Nobody knows everything about everything, it’s only an idiot that tries to act like he does.

But then he tries talking like he’s an expert in a field I am familiar with and it’s like… there’s points people could make on this subject, but that’s not one of them.

Tja ,

Same. Can’t judge about auto industry or rocket science, but I know a thing or two about software. And… Yeah, everything he’s said about Twitter internals (and sw dev in general) is brain dead.

Da_Boom ,
@Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

I think he always believed his own hype. Heck there was a point where I was somewhat into his hype.

Though I never liked Tesla’s interior design philosophy of “just put all the controls on a giant tablet and call it a day”

Truth is we didn’t know enough about him to gain an opinion. So imaginations ran wild. I mean there are people who have been saying how bad he was since the whole PayPal thing. It’s just those companies weren’t big enough at the time for it to gain any gravity in the public eye.

Then Tesla and spaceX happened, and people thought what he was doing was awesome, because a lot of it was and it was easy to look past the parts that weren’t.

Now however the fact he can’t keep his mouth shut and has become a twitter addict has kinda ruined our public opinion on him. If he had just stayed quiet and not bothered with the whole buying twitter thing, people might not care much about him. And the Epstein stuff and affairs and shit didn’t help him one bit. He’s right to mistrust the media - that shit is like a gourmet breakfast for them.

Basically he revealed himself in the public for what he truly is. A cold blooded greedy ass tycoon with an ego the size of the planets he’s trying to colonise, with a modern style nerd-hipster science theming and old school conservative ideals.

mo_lave ,

At least around 2015 when SpaceX landed a rocket for the first time, it really does look like he’s the real life Tony Stark. People change, sometimes for the worse.

its amazing how elon was once so milquetoast and inoffensive that he was a guest on the big bang theory and then he was like you know whats good? nazis.

EnderMB ,

That one line in Star Trek Discovery is more hilarious by the day. I have no fucking idea what the writers were thinking.

AWittyUsername ,

Which line?

EnderMB ,

The one where Captain Lorca lists the Wright Brothers, Cochrane (the inventor of warp drive in the ST universe), and Elon Musk as tech visionaries of their eras.

AWittyUsername ,

Ah thought so just wanted to confirm. Yeah I think I dropped the show not much later than that line.

dangblingus ,

It didn’t hurt that he was in Iron Man 2. Pepper for some reason is bending over backwards to be deferential to him in the early Monte Carlo scene.

AzureInfinity , in Rust project startup kit

This actually wrong way to do it, here the pro way:

1.Start writing a game/app/engine/os.

2.Write dozen utility packages for it.

3.Write high-level packages for #2

4.Write a “light-weight” version of #3 when disgusted with bloat of #3.

5.repeat #2 with more modern rust code.

porgamrer ,

you have been looking at my private github repos and are clearly a witch

dejected_warp_core ,

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it. Also, you forgot:

1.5 Get completely wrapped around the axle by writing tooling to support said game engine art assets.

Don’t forget to upload them all to crates.io. Add them to the list of useless crates that no one will ever use.

KeenFlame , in “It’s not that hard”

What the actual fuck is this guy saying

Who does he think pretending to know programming will get him clout

Literally the richest man on our planet

Does not understand that real programmers exist and will fact check him on bullshit

In what world is it a good choice to poison your own credibility for looking smart

Idiotic

Ashyr , in “It’s not that hard”

Musk’s greatest innovative genius is finding new ways to be annoying.

1rre , in “It’s not that hard”

I mean OCaml… But the issue is more the monkeys bashing out the language wanting to A. set a type for their exported function and B. know what type whatever function they’re using is supposed to take so it doesn’t randomly break as they gave it some random type that was formerly compatible

to be fair , making a simple os is a fun side project , though I would recommend going with a toy VM rather than actual hardware
