> Seems to me that YAML just needs type/schema support to be less of a hurdle. JSON schemas exist and can be applied to yaml and this is supported by many editors. For example this vscode extension: https://marketplace.vi

The author mentions $10000/kg, not per pound. This number is reasonably accurate for recent launch within one order of magnitude. Starlink launches were claimed to cost $35 million for 16 tons, this means SpaceX is still around $2000&#

Doesn't it require a phone number for validation?

Rejecting vaccination endangers other so it should always be mandatory, except on health grounds. Religion exemptions exist only because of the political power of religious groups. They should be abolished.

Why would anyone want this? I just want a workplace. Corporate collectivism is gross.

Falcon Heavy was "six months away" for multiple years. Today it is fully operational.

Launch services are in fact the most important problem to work on for a human settlement on Mars and SpaceX is making useful progress towards it. SpaceX is following their vision very precisely.

Falcon Heavy was 5 years late but it's operational. Being more than 5 years late on coast-to-cost self driving does in fact seem reasonable.

In the presentation they were quite open that they got to the point of running real loads but only on a single tile on a bench. Not clear what you're disputing here?

Not clear that hammering nails or digging holes in the ground requires AGI.

Major chunks of Tesla and SpaceX are already profitable businesses selling competitive products. They don't need hype to be profitable. The fact that they're still investing in future products doesn't seem like much of a crit

You can just license full CPUs and major IP blocks for stuff like IO from companies such as a ARM. The machine-learning parts are custom but the rest are probably similar to what you would find in a smartphone chip.

Many of those side bets that "don't work yet" are much newer than Tesla and SpaceX and have had much less effort put into them. Claims that "they will never work" are predicting the future based mostly on personal b

Humanoid robots might be hard but they've been successfully demonstrated. It might also be argued that machine learning can make complex motions easier than if everything is hand-coded. The humanoid form factor might be an entirely unn

Robots digging holes on other planets is already a very real thing. It has been done so many times that it's boring by now. It is easier than dancing and genuinely viable as a product, with that viability increasing with the degree of

Deploying robots on the moon would be extremely useful even if they have minimal autonomy and have to be remote controlled from Earth. All current efforts are rovers with scientific instruments, nobody has yet attempted to build something c

High entry barriers for self-driving are extremely good, for safety reasons. Regulating research into general AI would not make those barriers considerably higher. Tesla critics and competitors are also strongly in favor of self-driving reg

* AI research already has high barriers to entry because the required computing resources are expensive. * Self-driving AI will be heavily regulated for reasons not related to other AI regulation. I don't see how more AI regulation wou
