What are you basing your they are not as clean assertion on? It's more likely that data center generation can be run continuously instead of turning on and off according to market prices. Can see the swing in amount of natural gas prod

It seems strange for this article to word this as a new or unusual source of pollution, natural gas is the primary source of energy in the US, adding 10% to existing thermal fleet in ERCOT https://www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo&#

Which part of "attack enemies" implies they were targeting innocent people?

You can, https://www.tesla.com/fsd Are you trying to invent your own definition for self driving and quibble that supervision negates what the car is doing?

You are behind, FSD is already here, my car drove me to work today (fully self driving) Starlink v3 satelites launch next month, the first starmind sats based nvidia chips sometime next year, large new factories for the needed solar panels

There is a big difference between "something like" and actually passing the tests, I would be surprised if any non vision based system has the reaction time needed to pass the new pedestrian tests.

Obviously your priors are wrong, it can ace a blind spot warning test because it can detect a motorcycle next to it.

You don't have long to wait to see an obvious reason, the first v3 starship is in preflight testing right now.

Robotaxis in Austin are in the process of removing in car safety monitors, there is a chance you would get one today

Not mass production yet, but the first one rolled off the completed assembly line at giga texas last week Sensor fusion is not far simpler, when the sensors disagree, and they will often, you have to pick which to trust. It is amazing to se

The benefit is capturing a larger percentage of the output of the sun than what hits the earth.

The surface area of the earth is the limit (which only gets sunlight half the time) and only gets 1 billionth the energy emitted by the sun vs relatively unlimited surface area of solar panels in space

Government run grocery stores are middle of the road? What would progressive ideas look like on that spectrum?

Nowhere to be seen if your head is in the sand. There are robotaxi pilot programs running in two cities, FSD 14 is actively rolling out to customers, and my car drove me to work this morning on v13. I don't see any lies

If a car has a physical child lock switch engaged, it's not possible to open the door from the inside even in an emergency. Clearly rear emergency egress is not a requirement, a child opening the door while going down the highway is a

No, the horn is in the middle, the capacitive horn only steering wheel existed on early builds of the model S refresh (when plaid was first released), but after ~6 months they added the normal horn back. https://www.tesla.com&#x2

Tesla does not use stereo/binocular vision, that's not how humans perceive relative motion at that distance either, we would depend on perspective and parallax

Lidar is not a backup to vision, in a waymo both lidar and vision must be working, so you actually have less reliability as now you have two single points of failure.

What is the negative externality of recycling batteries? That is way better than having to mine minerals out of the ground, eventually there won't need to be any significant mining and all the battery minerals will be in a constant cyc

What do you call what this tesla is doing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQir90MktRc Just because it's supervised doesn't mean its not self driving

by brandonagr2 1y ago
No, a self driving car can be either supervised or unsupervised. I'm required to supervise my car while it drives me to work, but it is by definition fully self driving, controlling all aspects of the vehicle while I sit with hands off

This might surprise you, but you have no idea what you are talking about. You don't have to believe anything Elon says, just look at what he has done for the past 22 years. SpaceX was founded on the singular purpose of getting to Mars.

You are replying to an anecdotal blog post to say that a comment that is just an anecdote is not a useful contribution? You think it's useful to have a blog post to reveal the shocking truth that mass manufactured products aren't

The funding / design was mandated by Richard Shelby in the senate to preserve the jobs related to space shuttle tech. SLS is the definition of pork barrel spending

You think it's competition from old space firms that has motivated SpaceX to move quickly and become the world leader in mass to orbit? It's a maniacal desire to achieve the goal of colonizing mars that motivates SpaceX to move qu

In a Tesla there is a clearly labelled dedicated button on the steering wheel to active wipers and the ability to change the speed with the thumb scroll wheel, I would argue it's easier to use than twisting the barrel of a stalk that y
