Gait looks real bad compared to Boston Dynamics.

Good for them, but the cynic in me is telling me that tuition will continue to significantly outpace inflation, in part bc of this. $100K/year to attend a prestigious college isn’t…

The F-35C (Navy variant) has barely been deployed out to the fleet. I think only one squadron is using F-35s and they’re still working on training/integrating the platform into car…

You misunderstood. It has effectively Level 3 autonomy on highways under 40MPH, "regular old" Level 2 otherwise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M-J3JydpPA

The US in 2015 had an average household income 55% higher than the UK, which effectively negates most of the arguments this argument is trying to make, as well as the graph which s…

So I have to take my eyes off the road after my car just phantom braked in order to touch the 0.5x0.5 inch "Report" button on the 15" touchscreen outside my field of view? Oh, and …

It's just standard Tesla fanboy cope. The bottom line is that Tesla is shipping out alpha/beta software to the masses and relying on the masses to absorb the risks of crashing, cau…

They’re trying to avoid a wage-price spiral which would likely lead to stagflation.

Tesla doesn't spend money on marketing because Elon/his Twitter/his antics are the marketing. Not sure why you'd trust him at face value to begin with. He's not your friend, he's a…

Get five to agree and get back to me ;-)

Oh wise HN poster waving away hundreds of years of jurisprudence and constitutional interpretation with one link!

“Autopilot (without FSD Beta) will not go over 5mph of a road's known speed limit.” This is false.

They are. Chinese and Russian “advances” in hypersonics are pure marketing. The US was testing scramjets in the 1960s. The US has a hypersonic space plane. Alas, the media fell for…

I noticed this trend previously and I assumed it was a cost decision. A dark scene has less details, so it would conceivably cost much less to incorporate CGI/post-fx.

Increased energy density is great, but what’s the point of carrying an extra 600-1,000lb of batteries around when for the vast majority of people the extra range is only used in a …

The DotCom Bubble/scam led to investor losses in excess of $5 trillion.

“It’s my pretty firm belief,” says Gilliard, “that the police should not be called unless someone’s life is in danger.” That can seem, to some, like a noble if naive thought. Yet G…

You could have made the same argument about the Internet itself 20 years ago (i.e., a speculative new technology that provides little evident utility while costing a lot in terms o…

I would not vaccinate my child with an mRNA vaccine unless the consequences of not doing so would negatively affect their lives (cannot attend school in person, prevented from extr…

Silly and unnecessary law. The law they're amending arguably already made such contact illegal, this bill only adds two additional subsections specifically listing condom removal a…

Minimum tax rate 15%; tax loopholes unlimited!

Shouldn't the goal be to deal with the psychological trauma rather than engaging in activities that suppress memories of the trauma? During the pandemic I went down the rabbit hole…

This is akin to language learning. A child can take foreign language courses from kindergarten through high school (~20 years), but in the end they will only learn a stilted academ…
