@r0ck3t23 What four words!?

I heard more than four words from Musk in that clip, but no quartet jumped out at me and said "I'm the sound byte"?

@arcticinstincts Most brilliant people will not work on Nobel-worthy problems anyway, and if you look at the most intractable problems in the world the issue seems to be a sea of stupidity rather than a paucity of talent. Still, I feel you.

[Joseph Shamokin @JShamokin]

@PhysInHistory It's probably an ill-posed question.

[Joseph Shamokin @JShamokin]

@rogermcevilly @Math_files Nope. It's a model like other models. You are thinking of what people say about it.

[Joseph Shamokin @JShamokin]

@postmaster3000 @Math_files No.

[Joseph Shamokin @JShamokin]

@Math_files Nothing to see here folks. That's Bayesian probability. Next

@ElonmuskWIZ At least 2, not "2". Nothing says anybody else went, nothing say they didn't. All we know is that the couple went, and as there are no negative people, greater than or equal to two people went.

[Joseph Shamokin @JShamokin]

@ElonmuskWIZ At least 2. That's all the information we're given.

I support the penguin.

@lucius_ny What part of town are you in?

[Joseph Shamokin @JShamokin]

@AidanKohnMurphy I might agree with "unresponsive", but it does constitute a thoughtful reaction and it is certainly clearly written, so by the published grading standards, it does not deserve a zero—at worst 50%, maybe more.

@socratesccost @PecanC8 Grok might want to rethink this. Grok is very smart but can be lazy, just like the rest of us.

[Joseph Shamokin @JShamokin]

@PecanC8 Match the water in slices equidistant from the mean height. We can put the large slice over centerline (bucket) or the small (kettle). In every pair, the bucket configuration drains the larger slice at a faster rate because of hydrostatic head. So, bucket.

@DimaZeniuk "Believe" is a misshapen word here. Is extraterrestrial life Santa Klaus?

I have a hunch though that we are alone, on the principle of universal disappointment.

@Aku_700 @EndWokeness It was doing very well up to the 13th Century, when the Islamic world was a center of learning and Europe was in the Dark Ages.

[Joseph Shamokin @JShamokin]

@elonmusk @xdNiBoR It could. But we don't understand consciousness's relationship to the phenomenological world, and we don't know the frequency of human-like consciousness. It would possibly be the end of human consciousness though.

Congratulations, Elon Musk!

You are the embodiment of Ayn Rand's heroes, and you deserve every dollar!

[Joseph Shamokin @JShamokin]

Does Bloomberg understand what a rate is?

You would think they do, but I have my doubts. They offer an introductory price of "$1.99/month". When you say "Oh boy! For how long?" they say for one month, then the rate increases to $34.99/month.

That's not a rate, and no slash!

The BBC reports:

"Captain Kishore Chinta, a former investigator with India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), calls this 'the rarest of the rare' crashes - a controlled flight into terrain just 30 seconds after take-off."

Pilot takeover followed by murder/suicide?
