Having been through SOC2, it doesn't mean a company is rock solid, but it definitely makes the company button up loose ends, if taken seriously.

Everyone has access to the same models. Even the best internal builds are only a month away from public access. The ones a year from now from all companies will likely be better th…

Hyperloop is the only thing you listed that is accurate, although it was only a whitepaper + competition. It was open for others to pursue. Tesla easily has the best vehicle softwa…

If you think Starship is behind, look at the 'competition'. Learnings per flight may not be maximal, but they are measured with enough risk so that bureaucrats will approve it (not…

It isn't monocular though. A Tesla has 2 front-facing cameras, narrow and wide-angle. Beyond that, it is only neural nets at this point, so depth estimation isn't directly used; it…

Lidar fails worse than cameras in nearly all those conditions. There are plenty of videos of Tesla's vision-only approach seeing obstacles far before a human possibly could in all …

This is the key. The known instances I've seen are very minor taps / fender benders. Not great, but not fatal accidents

Cost to manufacture is likely around $25k

The project looks super cool, but the idea of wearing a sharp screen that close to my eye on a bike could be one reason it didn't sell.

Consider what would have happened if Elon wasn't there. Likely the same. The people wanting those things cut are still present. I wish he hadn't gone along with them, but there lik…

It is, for the purpose of this test. Don't want it coming back down on land somewhere unexpected :)

Not at odds at all. It doesn't matter how fast you can make them if each one costs $5-10 million. Much better to amortize that over 100+ flights and not waste the booster. Once the…

This has happened many times so far. Control to reach a specific landing point is quite good (when things don't go boom first)

Pretty sure the DOGE intent was good, but real efforts were mostly sidelined for the Trump pony show. Thus the 'fighting' words that followed when the BBB tax cut showed up.

From a driver's perspective, you don't want to wait an extra 5-10 seconds because now the bike in front of you has to get back up to speed. 0-5mph is the slowest change and the mos…

The real issue is all the current bad drivers. A requirement to start re-testing normal people in addition to the elderly would be a large benefit to society.

Based on how much imported libraries are relied upon, it makes sense to treat everything as untrusted. Unless you write every line yourself/in-house, code should be considered untr…

I generally agree, but the company likely doesn't have those funds. Considering the largest player (Apple) stands to make way more from it than you and just works around your paten…

That sounds low...

This feels like a bug that he snuck through early or during a temporary window, before Google started defaulting to . as an ignored alias. Maybe not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is how I learned a long time ago with Game Maker. Everything was Gui based, but you could also add code blocks to do more powerful things. Eventually, most things I built were…

It is likely that new models had higher costs, including maintainers becoming familiar. Long-term, electric is unquestionably cheaper to fuel and maintain, assuming they are built …

We are already on the path to have the grid converted to majority green energy over the next decade. Solar is by far the largest of New deployments and growing annually. Grid batte…

That was the joke. They are making their main product obsolete
