Back when there was still a slight chance that Tesla might pull off a public Robotaxi launch by the end of June, the multi-hyphenate billionaire prognosticated on X-formerly-Twitter that betting against the haters on the crypto-based prediction platform would be a "money-making opportunity."

That's according to a survey of 1,342 managers by ResumeBuilder.com, which runs a blog dedicated to HR. Of those surveyed, 6 out of 10 admi

Optimizing Tool Selection for LLM Workflows with Differentiable Programming
