Western militaries have never heavily invested in SAMs?! Have you heard of the stinger, that the Ukrainians are using to great effect? The US also has the patriot and aegis systems which are really good air defense missiles. That’s not incl

Hey, I'm just parroting what the literal CEO of Tesla said, but you're fully entitled to your own opinion.

Tesla is putting significant new investment into their energy business. Since they now have almost every major battery manufacturer globally doing business with them, they can shift to the less automotive grade chemistry for their stationar

Clearly we think alike. Glad to see someone else pointing out to Luddites the folly of comparing modern nuclear tech to the tech of the 1970s. Using the Hindenburg vs airplanes is a perfect equivalent.

If they do, expect circuit breakers to stop them.

They literally ignored all of the guidance on safely operating a nuclear reactor and many who told them so. Fukushima was a tragedy, but it also would not have passed inspection in the US or Europe due to blatant disregard for safeguards.

Imagine if you were a country that wanted to buy something from another country. Now imagine if they refused to ever take your money. So the obvious thing to do is to get a bank account with their local currency, right? But none of the bank

The historical experience of Chernobyl is not remotely relevant to modern reactors that are (by design) unable to melt down. Look at the pebble bed reactors, or the smr reactors from nuscale, or the chinese molten salt reactor designs. Thes

The technology, the wind tunnels, the materials science. Much of it overlaps with military applications and the DoD works with NASA. The original NASA was military only. Then an all civilian nasa was formed and the two quasi competed. There

Not fully true. Much of the initial NASA tech was transferred over to the Department of Defense and is used for ICBMs and various missiles. There is a lot of overlap with NASA and the DoD when it comes to these things. The difference is tha

ISRU (what you're describing) does require a large amount of energy to do at scale. Also, ISRU has never been at the scale required to fully fuel a rocket. There is a decent writeup on wikipedia[1] on how difficult this would actually

Why not? Porn drove much of the storage technology and video codec technology forward we use today. Electronic trading drives much of the networking technology the world runs on today. As much as it is mostly scamming and haxx, there is som

Fast and cheap on solana, slow and expensive on ethereum. Not all blockchains are directly comparable.

Sybil attacks are common problems in many blockchain related problems. Especially for governance and “sources of truth” such as price oracles. Just google it.

That’s totally fair. I’m not pretending it isn’t a problem. Phantom braking is scary as hell when you’re on the highway. I misread your comment on the date and think that’s the thing you really focused on, when I didn’t. You’re right. This

Respectfully, you’re incorrect on the date of the Tesla vision only hardware release. My wife got a model y in early Feb 2021 and it was in the first batch of Tesla vision vehicles that did not ship with a radar. It was manufacturered in Ja

I’m not debating the validity. This is literally what Elon said.

by SEJeff 5y ago
Elon claims that the radar was the primary source of phantom braking. He said that matching up a high fidelity sensor (the cameras) with a lower fidelity sensor (the radar) was proving near impossible. I also suspect the supply chain pains

Honestly, that’s for lawyers to decide. I suspect you’re right but have no idea, and unless you’re a lawyer neither do you.
