I bought FSD on Sept 19th, 2025. I have not driven my Tesla on a public road since then. It is all done by FSD. I just completed a trip from Pittsburgh to Louisianna to Florida and back to Pittsburgh without touching the wheel. Perhaps the

Ecology is a dirty word to many people. They are like heavy sleepers refusing to be aroused. "Leave me alone! It's not time to get up yet!" They retreat into death games and other violence, "hiding their awareness from t

Simple. If Democrats take the House then they will impeach Trump. Therefore Republicans need to falsify the premise. Texas hopes to add 5 Republican seats which will swing House to a safe majority. They tried a special session to vote on ch

Hmmm... so if someone is riding in a Tesla Model Y robotaxi, grabs the wheel, and causes a crash... Tesla stock will get destroyed. Note that the "safety driver" is actually in the passenger seat.

Old Mainframe story... We had a VM/370 system with 8 Meg of memory used by 82 programmers. VM/370 used virtual machines, one per programmer. The virtual machines were faithful copies of the hardware. I was a systems programmer. In

That's odd. Tesla's per-car warranty repair costs last year was less than 1/2 of Ford and about 1/3 of GM. I'm not sure where you get your comment that they "fail and fall apart at a rate few other auto manufac

I'm thinking of "published designs" for communities which detail the necessary and sufficient items required for "mostly" self-sustainability. The hope is to provide guidance for town planning. A return to local fa

Nuclear power plants have a design life. The flux from the reactor causes permanent damage to the surrounding structures. Think of putting a bullet through a wall of your house once a day. Do you still think it will be safe after 40 years?

So I'm not the first, nor likely the last. The paper was published in Nature which means that ordinary mortals like me cannot read it. Sigh.
