Tesla stock in freefall, you love to see it

158.74-9.09 (-5.41%)

Your boy sold at $222:)

and if you had followed my advice  and sold when Elon sold?   

[Polident Hive]

Tesla’s stock is like Mario’s cape in SMW. It’s going down to build speed and fly back up.

Please…

[Nintex]

Despite what the shitlibs say the Tesla stock drop has little to do with Elon and more with worries about the economy and energy security in Europe (a growth market for Tesla) and some setbacks from other car brands.
Audi scrapped their own their self-driving car software for instance. Car brands are overall scaling back their plans and ambitions. Tesla however is still going ahead with the trucks and the self-driving cars.

I might pick up one or two at $150 just in case, and then a few more at $140. There will be a bottom, eventually.

Carmack has resigned from Meta

I resigned from my position as an executive consultant for VR with Meta.  My internal post to the company got leaked to the press, but that just results in them picking a few choice bits out of it.  Here is the full post, just as the internal employees saw it:

-------------
This is the end of my decade in VR.

I have mixed feelings.

Quest 2 is almost exactly what I wanted to see from the beginning – mobile hardware, inside out tracking, optional PC streaming, 4k (ish) screen, cost effective. Despite all the complaints I have about our software, millions of people are still getting value out of it. We have a good product. It is successful, and successful products make the world a better place. It all could have happened a bit faster and been going better if different decisions had been made, but we built something pretty close to The Right Thing.

The issue is our efficiency.

Some will ask why I care how the progress is happening, as long as it is happening?

If I am trying to sway others, I would say that an org that has only known inefficiency is ill prepared for the inevitable competition and/or belt tightening, but really, it is the more personal pain of seeing a 5% GPU utilization number in production. I am offended by it.

[edit: I was being overly poetic here, as several people have missed the intention. As a systems optimization person, I care deeply about efficiency. When you work hard at optimization for most of your life, seeing something that is grossly inefficient hurts your soul. I was likening observing our organization's performance to seeing a tragically low number on a profiling tool.]

We have a ridiculous amount of people and resources, but we constantly self-sabotage and squander effort. There is no way to sugar coat this; I think our organization is operating at half the effectiveness that would make me happy. Some may scoff and contend we are doing just fine, but others will laugh and say “Half? Ha! I’m at quarter efficiency!”

It has been a struggle for me. I have a voice at the highest levels here, so it feels like I should be able to move things, but I’m evidently not persuasive enough. A good fraction of the things I complain about eventually turn my way after a year or two passes and evidence piles up, but I have never been able to kill stupid things before they cause damage, or set a direction and have a team actually stick to it. I think my influence at the margins has been positive, but it has never been a prime mover.

This was admittedly self-inflicted – I could have moved to Menlo Park after the Oculus acquisition and tried to wage battles with generations of leadership, but I was busy programming, and I assumed I would hate it, be bad at it, and probably lose anyway.

Enough complaining. I wearied of the fight and have my own startup to run, but the fight is still winnable! VR can bring value to most of the people in the world, and no company is better positioned to do it than Meta. Maybe it actually is possible to get there by just plowing ahead with current practices, but there is plenty of room for improvement.

Make better decisions and fill your products with “Give a Damn”!

[Tasty]

Selling your soul usually isn't worth it, but I have to imagine it absolutely was for Carmack.

The damage is done, John. Meta own Oculus. Prima facie, you've ruined consumer VR for at least a decade.

[Rufus]

It wasn't him who sold the company to Facebook.

[Tasty]

He was a C-level executive at the time of the sale.

But he admits he shirked responsibility and avoided the hard fights, so you may end up being right he had nothing to do with it. But he should have.

Sorry FTX clients but you'll be lucky to see anything. I have to say it and I really feel bad for you all but you need a little dose of reality. I know a lot of you have never gone through this kind of thing before but let me offer an anecdotal example as to how bankruptcy works.

Back in 1999, I had sunk about 6K into a venture capital project. Government sponsored. Supposedly, all are on the up and up. It turned out to be a scam. The company running the fund went bankrupt, and all the remaining assets went into receivership. We were all told that we'd receive a payout once the auditors had concluded their business and the remaining assets were liquidated. At the time I had roughly 40 shares valued at about $150 each.

So we waited and waited. Every so often, I'd get a notice from the auditors telling me what my aprox value was. In 2005, I received a payout of about $500 and was told more was to come. Then, in 2011, I received my final payout. My share were valued about $0.25 so it came out to $10 and the file was closed.

Where did everything go? Accounting fees, receivership fees, and most importantly, lawyers. Every single claim was dragged into court, and the remaining funds were bled dry until 12 years later, but there was almost nothing left. Now that's with a regulated fund. FtX was anything but. Every single claim is going to be dragged out and litigated to death and its going to cost a fortune.

Sorry, but cut your losses, take it off your books. And accept that it's over. Again, I'm really sorry to have to say this as I know a lot of you are hurting, but it's better to face reality now.

The problem with 'investors' like the peeps buying those eggs. They don't understand the risks.
Someone like Logan just bets on a dozen different projects. Some work, some don't and some never come out at all.
And all these things are launched by shady people as that's what you need to be to compete in this space.
Software development is also risky business, as it never goes the way you think it does.

In short if you happen to back the right thing (the energy drink), you win big. If you backed one of the projects that didn't make it? Well, sucks to be you.

https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/sonys-new-afeela-electric-vehicle-with-honda-use-qualcomm-tech-companies-say-2023-01-05/

Sony's long-awaited push into electric vehicles - it announced the venture with Honda in March - shows how manufacturers are increasingly focused on the cockpit experience in cars, which offers the potential to sell content via subscription services cars, especially as autonomous driving capabilities improve.
(…)
Sony is also looking to harness its traditional strengths in sensors. The Afeela will be equipped with more than 40 sensors, Mizuno said. The car will use the "Unreal Engine" 3-D creation tool from Epic Games, the maker of the "Fortnite" series of games.

[BIONIC]

All these tech company layoffs seem coordinated 

[Nintex]

There's unwritten rules to this. First, you don't fire people before the (midterm) elections as 'your side' needs their votes. They'll likely vote against your company interests if you fire them.
Second you don't fire them before Christmas because that's a PR nightmare. You also don't want to fire them too close to the end of the fiscal year (March for most publicly traded companies).
So you fire them late January when no one gives a shit and is too busy getting their own asses in gear. 

Because most companies don't hire until after March this means they will get recruited by the military because we need to honor our pact with Lucifer and feast on their blood, wait what?
