You think "Autopilot" is a moat? Every other company has had that stuff for ten years and their systems actually work . Adaptive cruise control ain't new. And no, I don't think Tesla can improve on build quality. Their

>You can get all that money back if you do no longer want to wait for the product. What's your issue? I don't love fraud. Tesla loses money on every car it sells and cooks the books by charging for imaginary options. That is cu

1. Securities fraud is fraud. 2. Tesla is currently advertising their cars as being capable of driving themselves. They have videos of people driving with their hands off the wheel. They have failed to implement safety features that make dr

Why do you think x86 can't go as wide as ARM? (I predict your answer will involve something about decoders and nothing about uop caches.) What goalpost have I moved? I have said one (true) thing: that you should judge by performance ra

CPUs are designed to hit a certain clock rate. The target frequency influences the design of literally every circuit in the CPU. Downclocking a CPU is not the same as designing it for a lower frequency. An x86 CPU is designed to run at ~5GH

>A factor of 2-to-3 IPC difference? That is irrelevant. What matters is the product of IPC and frequency. x86 parts today are clocked much, much higher than Apple's parts. IPC and frequency are both means to an end. Compare on perfo

I think that person meant "overstate". The ISA has relatively little to do with it. Sure, x86 requires power-hungry decoders, but most of the time you'll be running from the uop cache anyway. Plus you get denser code. Arm and

Tesla is miles behind everyone else. It is hard, yes, but it is even harder if you try to do it with hardware that is not up to the task.

1. They built precisely zero stations for battery swaps. 2. Tesla has been promising a car for $35k or less for years now and still does not sell one. 3. The solar roofs exist only to give an excuse to bail out Elon's cousins. Installa

We know for a fact Tesla is doing something nefarious, i.e. the self driving scam. But I suppose Tesla isn't hiding anything nefarious. Most of their malfeasance is plain to see.

There are affordable electric cars on the market today with better build quality than what Tesla sells for $80k. Someone will make a killing off affordable electric cars. Every indication is it will not be Tesla.

The reason those people exist is that the US banking system is so bizarrely dysfunctional. The American system is corrupt and byzantine and antiquated and leaves tens of millions of people out in the cold. Those people are absolutely right

The battery swap stations were a scam to get subsidies. They aren't any more real than the Cybertruck, Model 2, Roadster, solar roofs, semi, or Full Self Driving.

It isn't that early. They have a stupendous amount of money and have been around since 2014. By now they should have something to show for their work.

Why is it that people trot out this argument in response to any criticism of any technology? You could apply exactly the same sort of reasoning to Microsoft Bob. Do you think that had the potential to be revolutionary? I can't see the

IPFS needs to decide what it wants to be. Is it about being a decentralized caching layer? Is it about permanently storing content? Is it about replacing my web server? Is it about replacing DNS? Is it about censorship resistance? Right now

The problem is the system. Let us assume we have 99.9% moral people who never lie and never break the law even if they can gef away with it. Problem is the 0.1% have a competitive advantage. They will accumulate more wealth and power than t

Well, duh. "Free market" does not mean "unregulated market". It requires that the market be free from monopolies and that all agents have complete information. Regulation and trust-busting are, in practice, required to b

Lots of things can go wrong and I certainly don't intend to downplay the risks. Mismanagement like at Fukushima or Chernobyl can do a lot of harm. But there are a lot of people who think a nuclear reactor can level a city, which is tot

Nuclear reactors cannot explode. It is not physically possible. It isn't even close to physically possible. Reactor-grade uranium is about 5% U235 while you need >90% to make something that can explode. May as well ask why we use wi

To my knowledge, they don't even have binocular vision. For several angles there is only one camera. Even where there are multiple cameras, they are clustered together and so of limited use for binocular vision. It seems there are mul

Humans only have eyes... and the most powerful supercomputer in the world between their ears. The goal is to cut costs and keep shipping during the chip shortage. Ignore the excuses.

Have you watched the footage of the current "beta"? It's a scam. It runs into stationary objects. It drives into oncoming traffic. It runs red lights, makes illegal turns, drives straight toward other cars, and can't sta
