Other companies have different reasons to cut costs, but the incentive is still there.

I’m unable to figure it out - is this just a screen that tells you what the status of the next signal is? Or does it control the train? Also couldn’t they just retrofit a battery somewhere instead of a new steam generator? It also seems lik

You need to spend more money on adding “optional” nutrients that would otherwise be produced by organic processes in a living soil. These nutrients are what add to flavor but don’t necessarily help with the growing process. The distinction

How? I find it hard for my team to reduce tech debt as an OKR since other feature work is 1) sexier for engineers to work on 2) easier to put concrete value on. Everybody agrees in principle that tech debt is bad

I’m arguing the principles of “is this speech virtuous” as a prerequisite vs “is this speech harmful” as a disqualifier - not the exact definition. Whatever virtue test you use for the speech, it can be more easily abused than a harmfulness

Yes I suppose the question is 1) did it rise to the illegal level of harm (I would say no in the example of the meme) and 2) was it intended to believed (I would also say no here). These would vary country to country here based on precedenc

The meaning of “true, authentic, and accurate” is easier to twist than “harm to society” - suddenly proclaiming trans people exist is a crime because it is not “true”

That is my mistake - I misinterpreted. In my mind, regulations preventing unicorns (I.e statups > 1B in valuation) would require restricting personal decisions on where to invest money based on size. Protecting competition or free market

The president has a meme coin I think we’re going to get a painful reminder of why we have so many financial laws soon.

Holocaust denial no, incitements to saying the N word no, but incitements to physically harm people because of their race or ethnicity yes. I would say the harm of those individual actions don’t rise to the harm of restricting the speech it

My mistake, I forgot you could either ban both unicorns and pump and dumps or ban neither! How could I be so dumb!

by huntertwo 1y ago
How would you restrict the existence of unicorns? Also refrain from personal attacks on this site - you don’t know my understanding of freedom and denigrating me doesn’t help your argument. Edit: my implicit argument is that restricting uni

The differences in the two examples would be the damage caused by the speech. Additionally, sexual assault is a crime while hating free speech is not. Are you organizing this conspiracy with an intent to hurt me? Are you making false police

Who decides what speech is “true, authentic and accurate”? In the US, the restrictions are left to things like yelling fire in a crowded theatre. Because that is harmful to society. The focus should be on the real damage of the speech - not

And a court saying it’s defamation doesn’t make it a good law. It’s anti free speech. > it was not published in a satire magazine, there was no prior public dispute with Ms Faeser, and the montage was not easily recognisable as such This

Isn’t encryption illegal in the UK? Can’t you go to prison for social media posts making fun of politicians? Isn’t there low economic growth caused by restrictive regulation? Seems like the political class runs stuff over there.

Good point - in that case their only edge is their strong consumer brand. Sounds like they’re fucked unless EV picks back up.

by huntertwo 2y ago
I would be surprised in 20 years if nobody is making rockets similar to Space X. For OS - which is software, more similar to EV - Linux devs are able to make a much better OS than Windows, commercial success on the consumer front be damned.

Interesting - however, they do have a financial position that may make it easier for them to pivot than some of the other manufacturers in addition to their consumer image that makes it easy to raise money in the form of EV reservations. T

Seems like quite the blunder - maybe Tesla thinks they can add LIDAR to their own fleet of robo-taxis. Otherwise they bet the future of the company pretty foolishly.

I think something to do with battery production for grid usage. Combine that capability with renewable energy subsidies and you might have a good next chapter for Tesla until others catch up.

by huntertwo 2y ago
I think a pivot to energy infrastructure is inevitable. The EV business can be seen as a stepping stone imo to build a strong cash position with all of the reservations. Sort of like free financing.

Assuming Waymo is able to drive safely, it seems like a matter of time until Tesla is able to achieve the same, no? I can’t see why Waymo should be able to do it but Tesla should not given enough time.

Curious because I don’t have the Tesla but have been impressed by city driving in YouTube videos in SF (I think it’s the beta version). When did you have the free trial and where was this experience?

Yes it is - but Nvidia has larger contracts _right now_. Nvidia has been investing more money in producing more GPUs for longer, so it’s only natural that they have an advantage now. But now that there’s a larger incentive to produce GPUs,

AMD has better seemingly better hardware - but not the production capacity to compete with Nvidia yet. Will be interesting to see margins compress when real competition catches up. Everybody thinks it’s CUDA that makes Nvidia the dominant p

by huntertwo 2y ago
Large corporate customers like Microsoft and Meta do not use CUDA. They all use custom software. AMD doesn’t have enough GPUs to sell them yet, that’s the real bottleneck.
