Some domains don't have the established regularity of architecture that it takes to achieve 10X efficiency. Two I can think of off the top of my head are embedded systems, with a variety of sensors, outputs, processing power, and memor

I think you think Elon's paranoid delusions justify your own similar delusions.

Almost all robots that do useful work are deployed behind barriers and kill switches. A robot that's strong enough to do useful work is strong enough to be dangerous. The humanoid form factor doesn't mitigate that fact at all.

It's very clear cut. He's a white supremacist. He believes in the myth of a white genocide. That's a white supremacist myth. "I fathered children with a woman who's half Asian" is Elon's special version of

Rejecting his products is something everyone can do. Rejecting his overpriced shares is something everyone in a position to do so can do.

Do you have the same concerns about glass? And one thing you are certain not to find in ceramic non-stick coatings are floridated hydrocarbons.

I wouldn't be surprised to find that the quality of the average cop in the US has improved since the 1960s, at least by some measures. But they are a lot more heavily armed, so mistakes and malfeasance on their part is deadlier.

With a few exceptions, like mob run baggage theft rings at big airports, criminals are not very smart and have pretty poor opsec. Solution rates could be a lot better than they are.

I'm sure there is an audit log. But because, you know, computers, they'll probably charge you a few thousand dollars to process the FOIA request. If you could get the time cards and GPS tracks from police departments, how much det

That's a bit of a strawman. No defense attorney would omit the other circumstances of the search, some of which very likely overstepped legitimate authority.

The level of duress also matters. US citizens have been shipped to foreign prisons and there's an active case of high-level officials at DOJ violating court orders about that.

I've definitely seen brands of cookware that obfuscate their use of PTFE nonstick. The brands that use Kyocera ceramic coatings often specify that by name. Even cheap brands like Green Pan play it straight. So you have to do a little b

Calling this off-topic is willfully ignoring the damage trumpism causes the tech industry. It's a safe bet that we will see posts lamenting how US technology is no longer trusted and therefore software economics doesn't work as we

My observations from experience: - Nonstick helps, but don't use it instead of a fat. - Ceramic works well enough that I'm shocked Teflon nonstick still exists. No reason to risk it. - Use real food. Real butter, real olive for mo

Everyone who can afford a car with an infotainment system also has a high-end smart phone that they replace several times over the life of the car. It's not quite as bad an idea as putting a tablet in your refrigerator door, but the pr

To make sense, this has to compete with the cost and value of battery storage. That depends on location and energy and fertilizer needs at that location. So I guess it's possible that the cost makes sense, but it doesn't seem very

Oh those awful influencers. There are upstanding people like police chiefs and town managers losing their jobs for not representing the public because the public has no doubt been influenced by influencers, amirite?

That's a bit lazy. Elon built a cult following, and that's what defended TSLA for a few years now, since there was no longer a story of infinite growth, or growth at all. "Everyone thinks" but not for no reason. Henry Ki

Trade secrets are easy to claim but hard to turn into a tort without having someone steal them. I'm sure some lawyer can come up with a filing that tries to make distillation an act of theft, but there would be many weak links in that

Now that bullshit about a golden age of science is obviously bullshit, I wonder how long it will take our supposed tech industry leaders to unhook their lips from Trump's rear end and admit that authoritarian, racist, sexist, anti-scie

If what they're referring to is coding agents, I can say they were pretty crappy as of November last year, and they've come a long way. Much more useful and usable now.
