The problem is neither Waymo or Uber make their own cars, and the cars they use weren't purpose built for self driving. Both of those points give Tesla a huge economic and competitive advantage in the long run. Uber/Waymo are th

TypeScript/ES6 is such a great language with a feature set far ahead of other languages in many ways. The lack of enums though is a sore spot. I really hope that proposal you mentioned can move forward. Also you can improve your implem

If you know how to architect code well, you can guide the AI to create smaller more targeted modules. That way as you 'write code with AI', you give it a targeted subset of the files to edit on each prompt. In a way the AI becomes

Wrong. If code is written consistently everywhere, that allows any dev to dive in anywhere to get work done. Which is what you often have to do in large code bases to make cross functional updates. Code bases where devs pick a different fra

AR is still very much a gimmick as we are surrounded by screens right now and we don’t need anything on our face to see them. They’re also easier on the eyes as headsets like AVP have a fixed focal plane. VR on the other hand like the Quest

I don't see how Waymo is going to survive the onslaught that is CyberCab. Cheaper to build and operate, more efficient, much faster to build, and deployable across all cities without any manual configuration. The clock is ticking on Wa

Again, Waymo sensors are expensive. Waymo cars are also expensive, 4 seaters with lots of other parts included for manual driving. Unless Waymo is working to design their own car for self driving they’re not going to be able to compete with

You have no idea. There certainly could be a breakthrough tomorrow that sets off AGI. Researchers across the board have been sounding the alarm bells for years now. There’s not much we can do at this point. My only hope is that when AGI hap

Fiat can be minted easily. Bitcoin cannot any faster than the rate that it is mined. Massive difference. And the key reason why the dollar continually depreciates.

So Waymo has 2 years left before the fun starts. Unless Waymo can build and design their own car in that time, they are screwed. CyberCab is way cheaper and can be built at a much faster rate.

Meh they got Bitcoin wrong as well and after 15 years still think it’s a scam.

Get ready. You guys didn’t think CyberTruck would happen, but now it’s already out producing Rivian and Lightning. I can’t tell you when it will happen, just that it will happen and when it does Waymo is screwed.

by fixprix 2y ago
The problem is the vehicles are expensive, it doesn’t scale. CyberCab is designed for mass mass production. If you need a clue, look at CyberTruck already out producing both Rivian and Lightning in less than a year.

That’s a non issue. FSD is quickly approaching self driving in all scenarios. Waymo is limited specific cities and surface streets. In a way Waymo is behind, they can’t scale fast enough. Their vehicles are far from optimal and expensive. W

This is fundamental. Waymo doesn’t make cars. They can’t scale like Tesla can. Waymo vehicles are way more expensive and not optimized at all for FSD, it’s all bolt on. If nothing changes, when CyberCab comes around Waymo will be screwed.

by fixprix 2y ago
I don’t even know what the timeline is, but you see it coming fast plain as day. Both CyberCab and FSD are very far along. I’d say 2 years to build that factory and initial production line. With half the part count, they’re going to be pump

Relative to Tesla Waymo cannot scale. Waymo vehicles are more expensive, plus the bolted on technology is expensive. Waymo can’t scale up production like Tesla. There is literally no way for them to compete. The field is tilted towards Tesl

Waymo is cool, but I have no idea how it is going to compete with the tsunami coming that is CyberCab. Tesla will be mass producing this smaller, cheaper vehicle like nothing else. Covering the entire country with self driving vehicles. I d

The fact that it is not physical makes Bitcoin more valuable. Why? Because I can store millions of it in my pocket. I can move millions around the world in less than an hour. 24/7. No banks or approvals or intermediaries required. I

Great for the government, terrible for anyone holding dollars. The government continues diluting the dollar to pay its debt.

Bitcoin has maintained its fundamentals for 15 years. People place value on mature things. Lindy’s law. It’s fair to speculate Bitcoin will be around for a long time to come.

All of our assets are denominated with depreciating dollars. It’s nice because our assets always look like they’re going up. Of course a big part of that is just the dollar going down.

Those weren’t subsidies, like the parent was talking about. SpaceX provided services for the government at bargain prices. Your tax dollars were very well spent.
