So we're taking out regulatory credits but leaving in the CEO award, right? I guess if you cherry pick your one time items you can make any number appear.

Tesla has run a factory in Shanghai post-COVID, so far as we know successfully. Also most if not all the other car factories in the US are already operating. Also workers aren't forced to come in. This focus on Tesla is not taking into

Being wrong for 12 years and counting is a bit of a concern, no? Also, if he has no credibility, then the points in the article require more scrutiny, we can't just take him at his word, can we? That's why credibility matters.

Mind substantiating the whole "recall worthy metalworking" claim? First I hear of it. Are you sure it's up to date? All these flaws you talk about on other cars are not accidents. Everyone is running up against the same funda

"quite rightly", "sticking some batteries"... Its fascinating that you do realize that the people who disagree with you have been right, and yet you're not updating your model. Look up Sandy Munro, a car guy's

Critically, this doesn't take into account that the model 3 has the lowest probability of injury [1] of any car ever tested by the NHTSA. Driving a car with a higher probability of injury means you must calculate the cost of a fraction

Persistent logging is only there for cases we need to debug something, in other words where it's the only choice. Even so, it writes to a circular buffer so it should be reasonably safe. But it's not intended to be on by default,

We're currently focused on devices that can run Linux. The smaller devices are a different kind of challenge, and while we do have some ideas about how to achieve the same level of developer experience for them, it's not out yet.

You can't ask a founder this and not expect a pitch, so here goes: Having built a similar bespoke stack in the past, Balena would have been a steal! It gives you the development, provisioning, build & deployment, configuration, man

Hey, balenaOS has been designed for long term deployment. As such, we have a read-only partition for the hostOS. We also have a second host partition so we can update the OS remotely and atomically. In general, we've tuned all sorts of

Slack (and chat-in-general) has replaced email for many things it used to be used for. And we're all better for it. Other things still go over email and slack can't ever touch them. It's called disaggregation. Why does eve

Boston Dynamics was spun out of Google (sold to SoftBank) years ago. And before that was primarily a DoD contractor so they didn't need to productize anything.

Your TPU point makes no sense. If Google's TPUs are on par with NVIDIA GPUs for NN workloads (I assume that's what you mean on par?) then they suck at making chips, which they don't. What's even the point of making them,

You make no mention of HW3, which will be installed on the cars that bought FSD for free, and includes Tesla's own chip, (I assume some kind of TPU) designed by Jim Keller. It has been described by Tesla as having 100x the FPS processi

Hey there - BalenaOS is built to run containerised workloads on small devices and is quite stripped down otherwise, kinda like coreOS. So in that sense our architecture allows you to have less stuff you don't need floating around, savi
