Yes. The data collection continues. But this initial report indicates that FSD is probably not massively worse that a human.

I have the same experience. I think if there was more transparency in the data around FSD related accidents the conversation would be different. The last evidence we have is Tesla stating that there have been no fatalities in 60 million mi

There was a physics today article in the 90s about a group that ran the numbers on a self assembling desert furnace/solar cell/robot factory. Seemed doable, except for the self assembling robot part.

There is obviously no conspiracy. It's common business sense to not care about battery life in a product with a 2 year lifecycle. The fact that SOME phones don't overcharge your phone battery shows that it's a business decisi

Well.... If you cycle a battery between 30 and 80% its lifetime increases by almost 10x. The battery management on phones is terrible. Either the manufacturer is stupid or malicious. The fact that phones have no option to bypass the battery

Generally speaking, innovation comes from unexpected discoveries, interdisciplinary thinking and massive amounts of failure. It's like tree roots randomly sampling a surface until they find a crack to grow into. It's easy to trace

It's a lot easier to copy something than to build something new. Without the freedom to fail and the freedom to challenge the existing socio-economic status quo, China will have trouble out innovating the USA. The best and most valuabl

The number of cycles a battery can sustain strongly depends on its state of charge and depth of discharge. A cars battery can cycle between 30 and 70% charge for 20000 cycles or 0.8 cents/kWh according to your calculation.

I think this type of analysis fails to project the future. GHG emissions from solar cell production will decline as the inputs and processes used to make them begin to use renewable energy. Green hydrogen decouples H2 generation from hydroc

High temperature hydrogen electrolysis is a proven cheap tech. The main problem is the cost of nuclear in my opinion.

Fuel cells based in anionic exchange membranes (AEM) don't require rare metal catalysts. They run on nickel-iron catalysts. Latest gen systems meet or exceed the capabilities of proton exchange systems (that require pt or ir). Also, si

Green hydrogen is made from electricity. The cost of green hydrogen is currently high, but it is dropping faster than pretty much any other energy storage technology. Hydrogen storage is an order of magnitude cheaper (or more) than any othe

It's rule number one of the big physics playbook. Make outrageous claims that funders can't verify cause they ain't good at math. Then let the good times roll! See the LHC, ITER, James Webb, F35, quantum computing etc.

FSDbeta is not enabled on highways. It's not clear to me that it's even possible to be on FSD in that tunnel. Interestingly, the article is careful to say that the driver "claims" it was on FSDbeta. More to this story.

Given that per the NHTSA 29% of all accidents are rear end collisions, I don't think the 35% number is meaningful, given the small sample size. Also: Tesla has always been clear about their definition of "crash", it hasn'

I think if you check your facts you'll notice that the NHTSA doesn't distinguish between autopilot and FSD. You should definitely not engage FSDbeta in environments that the computer vision system hasn't been trained on. If y

I have FSDbeta so I'm very aware that it doesn't work on highways. As far as the fatalities, the article itself states clearly that the data doesn't indicate whether autopilot or FSD was active (both are ADAS). The article al

FSD doesn't work on interstates. It's literally impossible for the CNN article to be true. Maybe the first Google hit isn't enough to get a complete understanding of the situation in this case.

Totally. I asked it to describe an obscure lithography technique (rapid electron area masking), and it gave a reasonable summary but at the end claimed it was widely used in industry...it's not used at all.

Could be a useful application of perovskite solar cells, which would be great on earth if they weren't made of lead and could survive in air. Space could be the place for them. Killer app for this might be forward operating bases that
