Even if there were "1000 RPCs" slowing things down, that's not the sort of thing that can be safely dealt with in a matter of days, or even months.

Hardcastlemccormik posted:The gist I get is that most of the management chain has been replaced with Musk’s favorite sociopaths from Tesla and SpaceX and such. So anyone wanting to ingrain themselves in that pack for future Musk Adventures might have to do a little backstabbing along the way. Definitely taking zero blame and throwing everyone else under the bus in the hopes they’re the chosen few who get to follow Musk to the next Nirvana. I don't doubt that he's inserted his best and brightest from Tesla/SpaceX already, but the quote I saw from a ex-employee was that it was actually existing co-workers who had turned to the dark side, rather than the "dream team" (who would be untrustworthy by default). It's easy to see how this could happen - there would be a number of Twitter employees who, having survived the first cull, would either feel indentured to Musk, or their personal circumstances are such that they don't have the luxury to call him out publicly, like others who have done so fully cognisant of the fact that Elon would probably fire them (and not caring).

I dunno, twitter is SO entrenched, it seems hard to believe even Elon can make the whole thing collapse that fast. I long to be proven wrong ofc lol.

Elon wonders why his staff are publically calling him out as he continues to publically call them out. This man is considered a very stable genius.

Remember when that Republican cripple guy said all that stuff about coke parties on some podcast. And it was so close to the truth that the Republican party said he had never attended any of their coke parties. Which meant he knew about them only because other members of the Republican party had been telling him about them. . And that Dem guy who kills black men https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Buck#Criminal_investigations (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) CumBlast Radius Jr fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Nov 15, 2022 |

I live near SF and I met a twitter employee at a party once and she was a huge jerk. I said something about not using twitter myself and she was all "well basically everyone else does so it's not like you matter." I hope she learned to be a less lovely person.priznat posted:It’s true, a coworker has a model Y and he had to ban his kid from playing a racing game because he was putting flat spots on the tires and grinding up the garage floor lol  It truly boggles the mind. This whole thread does. The world was not this stupid 10 years ago. And it was pretty loving stupid. How did we get here? I live in a small town with no sidewalks so every time I see a tesla I have to pull my dog in because you never know if it's in self-driving mode ready to run over my dog without slowing down. Teslas should not be on the road.

Like it's very clear Elon is surrounded by spineless yes men and he assumes anyone who disagrees with him is clearly jealous/hates him for being successful/one of them loser types, so when he's bought a new company and all the Tesla engineers tell him "yes boss we can rewrite twitter in a weekend no problem it's super easy twitter just needs a genius like you in charge" and all the actual twitter engineers go "actually twitter took close to twenty years of development so I would recommend you do NOT delete the login function" he gets insanely mad and fires them. Guy is a huge manchild.

Lol at Elon firing people, not over their lack competence, but over if they would die for him or not.

Sanctum posted:How in flying gently caress does a car company implement this without someone mentioning that turning the wheels while stationary is the fastest way to bald your tires? I could only assume there is some reason for it, probably not giving the infotainment system the ability to disconnect the steer by wire is a biggie. They technically could do it but it raises a whole host of security and safety concerns. Better to just not have the wheel as a controller imo if they must put games on the centre display.

Decon posted:CEO said make racing game. The team making the game for the Tesla probably thought it was hilarious the game would bald the tires on the Tesla. I doubt it was "but bald spots on tires" and was instead "lol bald spots on tires". It was probably some work for hire company that ported an existing racing game to the Tesla ecosystem quickly.

Decon posted:CEO said make racing game. Yeah a deadline of two days was given, the project cut a ton of corners and management dismissed every single issue anyone brought up. This is typical in corporate tech. Managers are allergic to solving problems that aren’t “blockers” and anyone who brings up issues doesn’t have a “positive mindset” and their performance reviews get lowered.

I wouldn't even say it's super popular here. It's just very convenient for posting dumbasses, news, or news about dumbasses. I suspect that the majority of people shitposting on Elon the Musky here never tweet. Twitter going away would be like when waffleimages dies, we'd lose some lols but life would go on.

Outside of some large stories where real time information is coming in live, most of the “news” on Twitter is about Twitter itself - who tweeted what or what drama went down or who did or didn’t react to a given headline. I will miss it for the dopamine hits and the real time live news moments.

High level managers who think they know better than everyone at their company specializing in various corners of tech for 40-80 hours a week are the most insufferable people.
