quote:One day, Ukrainian forces advancing into contested areas in the south found themselves suddenly unable to communicate. “We were very close to the front line,” Mykola, the signal-corps soldier, told me. “We crossed this border and the Starlink stopped working.” The consequences were immediate. “Communications became dead, units were isolated. When you’re on offense, especially for commanders, you need a constant stream of information from battalions. Commanders had to drive to the battlefield to be in radio range, risking themselves,” Mykola said. “It was chaos.” Ukrainian expats who had raised funds for the Starlink units began receiving frantic calls. The tech executive recalls a Ukrainian military official telling him, “We need Elon now.” “How now?” he replied. “Like loving now,” the official said. “People are dying.” Another Ukrainian involved told me that he was “awoken by a dozen calls saying they’d lost connectivity and had to retreat.” The Financial Times reported that outages affected units in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Luhansk. American and Ukrainian officials told me they believed that SpaceX had cut the connectivity via geofencing, cordoning off areas of access. lol imagine entrusting your life with a fickle little pissbaby like musk. goddamn.

Cold on a Cob posted:lol imagine entrusting your life with a fickle little pissbaby like musk. goddamn. Following Musk is a hobby like watching baseball or paying attention to professional chess. If you aren’t in the know, it’s easy to assume that Elon is a mostly-functioning human being like Gates, Jobs, or Zuck. Only the “fans” are paying enough attention to know how one of these is not like the others. But you won’t suddenly find yourself cut off in a battlefield, or locked into your burning car, if you don’t remember who won the Super Bowl in 2021.

Would love to know what set off his insane obsession with population collapse. It's obviously a race thing but he's the only person I've seen so singularly obsessed.

There's weird current of natalism within EA circles, but I wouldn't confuse either of those with a genuine intellectual development it's just a bog standard right wing appeal to chauvinism and overt racism.

quote:In recent months, new crash numbers from the N.H.T.S.A., which were first reported by the Washington Post, have shown an uptick in accidents—and fatalities—involving Autopilot and Full Self-Driving. Tesla has been secretive about the specifics. A person at the N.H.T.S.A. told me that the company instructed the agency to redact specifics about whether driver-assistance software was in use during crashes. (By law, regulators must abide by such requests for confidentiality, unless they decide to contest them in court.) lmao what? companies can just request that reports of their lovely software murdering people be kept secret and the government has to?

But then his kids started disowning him anyway  Imagine being annoying enough that your family disowns you even though you're worth billions.
