For a Tesla, the estimates are around $2K. For a Waymo, the same estimates are ~$25K (down from $125K!!!). There's not a clear timeline for Waymo-style kit at a price consumers can afford and in a form factor they'd accept. (FWIW,

Studies seem to favor waist to height over waist to hip for a stronger correlation to better outcomes.

Nah, as titzer said, it's really about general-purpose code being branchy (a good match for CPUs) vs numeric code being heavily parallelized and non-branchy (a good match for SIMD/GPUs). Only a small subset of very specific langua

Maybe you drive into flood waters, but I don't. That's not a difficult skill to pull off. We're still in the early days of self driving cars, and as much simulation and miles as they have, they're still constantly gett

My most enjoyable and productive experiences with AI so far have looked more like pair-programming than agent-based vibe coding. That is to say, I care about the details, and I want to read, understand, edit, and curate the codebase. I find

They take about the same time as with an ICE. I stop and charge for 20m whenever I need a restroom break or some food (every couple hours or so). My car generally goes longer without stopping than I do. If you're stopping often or long

> I like Teslas a lot, but gave you ever been on a road trip in one? It's pretty brutal. Maybe 50 road trips? Usually hundreds of miles, with the longest at 1000mi. Literally the easiest road trips I've done in my life.

I just drove 100mi in freezing temps (around 25F) at mostly interstate speeds (70+) mph. I completed my trip around 95% of EPA. Maybe a function of the quality of your EV.

I know congestion can be an issue at some sites, but I have never waited in line to charge in seven years of EV ownership. In addition, for superchargers, you can see real-time stall availability, so if a particular site was crowded, you co

Is that legally enforceable? If a mod doesn't contain code / assets from the game itself, what legal rights does Microsoft have over the distribution of that mod?

Teslas illuminate brake lights based on deceleration (until reaching a stop), which is the desired behavior. I use regen braking aggressively to slow down, and different light behavior would give people seizures or make them brake-light-dea

Slava mentions both bidirectional inferencing and overloading as two of the big culprits. I've been doing some language work recently, and I'm quite sympathetic to bidirectional inferencing. I think, though, that modern PLs need b

No joke, that's just wild. I'd expect an expression like that to type-check literally a million times faster - at the least . Even after reading the article, it's not clear why that particular expression is so egregiously po

It sounds like you can't find a used minivan-like EV, with 250+mi range. A 2022 model y has 330mi range new (probably around 300mi now). You can get them for $23K after federal rebate. Seems like a good deal that would be "doable&

Can you please share some (non-byzantine) trips that you can't make with only 80% battery capacity? Let's assume 240mi (80% of 300), since that seems to be about the average EV range nowadays.

It's stated directly in the article that Tesla's study reports vehicles with 200K miles generally retaining 85% capacity. That's nearly 300% better than what you're suggesting.
