Python's ecosystem is hard to beat, but Elixir/Nx already does a lot of what Mojo promises. EXLA gives you GPU/TPU compilation through XLA with similar performance to Mojo's demos, Explorer handles dataframes via Polars, and now Pythonx lets you embed Python when you need those specialized libraries.
The real difference is that Elixir was built for distributed systems from day one. OTP/BEAM gives the ability to handle millions of concurrent requests as well as coordinating across GPU nodes. If you're building actual ML services (not just optimizing kernels), having everything from Phoenix / LiveView to Nx in one stack built for extreme fault-tolerance might matter more than getting the last bit of performance out of your hardware.
I recently built out training and inference at a FinTech (for fraud and risk) using Elixir and tried this very approach…
We’re now using Python for training and forking Ortex (ONNX) for inference.
The ecosystem just isn’t there, especially for training. It’s a little better for inference but still has significant gaps. I will eventually have time to push contributions upstream but Python has so much momentum behind it.
Livebooks are amazing though and a better experience than anything a Python offers sans libraries.
"Confused" or they're incentivized to meet a quota to hang on to their jobs, and in many cases are themselves explicitly motivated by racial animus, and are fine with trampling over the law?
The surface details are irrelevant deportation numbers are below Obamas. These are scattered operations in search of two things roughly. The purpose is to have a paramilitary operation directly lead by the Oval Office without buffers - remaining in power extralegally and without elections whether they are held or not. When you need to arrest and harass anyone without a warrant, the easiest thing to do is claim they are non-citizens. Countless citizens have been arrested under this pretext already. And to be able to extract wealth extralegally. Every act falls under these two concepts, and Project 2025 was a pre textual conduit for this that uses political ideology as a path to feudal dictatorship.
There's the usual issue of a CEO "talking their book" but there's also the fact that Sam has a rich, documented history of lying. That was the central issue of his firing. "Empire of AI" has a detailed account of this. He would outright tell board member A that "board member B said X", based on his knowledge of the social dynamics of the board he assumed that A and B would never talk. But they eventually figured it out, it unraveled, and they confronted him in a group. Specifically, when they confronted him about telling Ilya Sutskever that Tasha McCauley said Helen Toner should step off the board, McCauley said "I never said that" and Altman was at a loss for words for a minute before finally mumbling "Well, I thought you could have said that. I don't know."
> I'd love to integrate with whatever model subscription is available but it seems using Max outside of Claude products is against their terms. I suggest reaching out to Anthropic and letting them know you would like to use your Max subscription with other coding agents.
for the people that want roadtrips and incredibly large range. Sadly it seems like many of the cars in the article are plopping ICE generators on top of EVs with already 300mi of range.
A friend of mine is maintainer of an open source service used (at least, at one time) by all of the major social media platforms as a load-bearing piece of their infrastructure (intentionally keeping it vague). My friend was invited to interview at one of the biggest and was rejected after having a bad whiteboard session. Of course they immediately replaced my friend's service (ha!)
I don't think Tesla's judgment should be the litmus test. They have capacity to produce 250K Cybertrucks / year, currently on pace to sell < 20K and it's only going down from here.
To be fair, the main reason for this is that the CEO of Tesla looked at "people who buy electric vehicles", and spent the last four years turning himself into a caricature of a villain to those people.
At the best maybe it was some sort of misguided attempt to encourage the American right to buy EVs?
If so it royally backfired and just decimated his own customer base right at the time real competition was entering the market. The Equinox EV roundly beats the Model Y head to head on range, price, AWD, etc. The Ioniq 5 is more expensive but is lovely.
The CT sales are <10% of their capacity, per your wording. Do you think Model Y sales are down 90%?
No doubt Elon is destroying the profitability of his company by being a public asshole, but the Cybertruck is a fundamentally flawed vehicle (almost) nobody asked for, which is why it's a flop. By comparison, (refreshed) 3 and Y sales are not off by nearly as much, and some of that is just because they're just refreshes of existing vehicles people have been buying for many years, and there's a lot more competition in the EV market, and overall EV sales are slowing.
Sorry, must have been another thread, not your wording.
Someone pointed out CT production is <10% of their planned capacity. So the CT is underperforming by 90%, but I'm sure 3/Y sales are _not_ down by 90%. Meaning the CT is an outsize failure, even if you take into account Elon tanking Tesla sales in general, and overall slowing or at least plateauing EV sales.
I can't reply to the other person because their comment got dead'd, but the Y and the Equinox have similar levels of self-driving available anyway. GM's Super Cruise is comparable to what Tesla calls FSD.
You are responding to a message about the cybertruck specifically, so I assume you are implying musk's behaviour is to blame for the poor sales of the CT?
The cybertruck fell flat long before Musk's true identity was revealed (maga/nazi affiliations).
Even if tesla was headed up by the most beloved CEO ever, I reckon the CT would still have sold poorly. It's just objectively a very bad, poorly designed and even worse built vehicle. And surprisingly, I feel like it's design aged very very quickly. It does not look next-gen or futuristic to me at all anymore.
There's a lot of reasons the cybertruck is a failure, but I think a lot of it does come down to Musk; not just the cancelled orders because of his politics, but because purportedly he inserted himself into the engineering and development at a far stronger level for this vehicle than the other Tesla vehicles, and a lot of the issues stem from fulfilling his design demands.
At the time the CT was announced there were no other EV pickups remotely close to buyable. If he had stepped back, and let the people who designed the X, Y, and 3 do their thing, it would have been released in 2020, and even with its unique shape would have sold great, and probably would not have developed the reputation for poor quality that the current one has.
Like the other commenter said, doing something that looks like a nazi salute doesn't make you a nazi, and supporting far right parties does not make you a nazi.
Both those things do however make other people think you may be a nazi, which is all that really matters here.
Whether Elon Musk is a nazi is irrelevant, what matter is that people think he is.
> Supporting parties on the right does not make you a nazi.
> Raising your hand does not make you a Nazi.
Fine, sure. Certainly there's a philosophical conversation to be had about what it means for one to be made a nazi by one's actions alone, in 2025.
But that doesn't matter. All that's needed for Elon Musk's behavior to cause problems is for him to do things that make other people think he is a nazi, which is a much lower bar, and one that is met by supporting far right parties and making gestures indistinguishable from nazi salutes.
I kind of think it's cool that reality is configured such that Cybertruck exists, but only in a very meta way. Lazy-think me: It feels dumb and is probably just bad focus from a company focus standpoint.
