I get this feeling that AI might be like full self driving in 2016. Elon said in months it would be solved. It seemed like it might be true, but it wasn't. One thing I definitely k…

All the climate modelling is based on correlation, so I thought that's what we were doing. Is there another approach we should be taking?

It seems like battery technology hasn't improved much since the model s was introduced. A 2012 Toyota Camry was rated around 28 mpg combined. A 2025 is rated at 46 mpg combined. Th…

The earth has had some of the fastest warming ever in the last 15 thousand. During this time crop yields have increased dramatically. The trend is unmistakable, the warmer the plan…

Maybe your next car will run on smugness.

Really hard to know, but the creatine that didn't seem to help was a cheaper, bulk buy. My guess is that it wasn't as much creatine as it said. Unfortunately, I feel like there is …
