We haven't seen any renders or heard any details yet, so I think first half of 2025 is either unrealistic or this will simply be a variant of an existing model. They also had to retool factories for the updated Model Y, and I assume th

Same as you, I think. Invested in 2013… I have sold more and more shares as the market cap reached ridiculous levels compared to other car companies, and as I felt Musk was over promising and under delivering more and more. He has mislead b

Musk likely wants to inflate the Tesla share price. He sells "visions of the future". This was always his way; FSD, low-cost trips to Mars, solar roofs, self-driving taxis and semis, tunnels everywhere to solve traffic, NeuraLink,

I think, the consensus is that Tesla would have to be at least as low as around $100-$120/share before there is a margin call on Musk's debt (with Tesla stock as collateral). So it will still have to drop 50% from current levels f

In my opinion, this is the primary problem with Tesla (no new models?) and future directions. Tesla has promised a new Tesla Roadster for 5+ years now. There is no sign of it. Cybertruck also took ~5 years from reveal to release. Not sure w

It is not just political/cultural reasons. There are lots of other EV cars in Europe now (including both European, Korean and Chinese brands). Tesla has also gotten a bad reputation regarding build-quality and service lately, and Tesla

Macbook Air is fine for iOS development The iOS simulator is neither a simulator or emulator in traditional sense. Rather it is software layer with graphics output where (simple) iOS apps can run. Everything runs as native code. Even if you

Sorry. But people in general do not choose to study medicine because they can make a lot of money after the study. I have had some experience with family, girl friends, friends and med-students. And it was definitely not the primary reason

This part in the article feels a bit sloppy: "A fair comparison would be pitting the Snapdragon X Elite against the M3 Pro, but it is likely that the more capable Apple Silicon would obtain a higher multi-core score." OK, so to ge

The chart is relative to the 20th century average, so even though values before 1980 are less than 0, it doesn’t mean warming hadn’t started. It is just that around 1980 we got clearly above the average of the 20th century. Imagine this was

Probably true that performance doesn't scale linearly (and I do remember the Max Tech analysis of M1), but I don't have the tflops number for the M2 ultra. For the M1 the stated values are: M1 Ultra [1]: 21 TFLOPs M1 Max [2]

• The GPU in the base M2 has 10 GPU cores and 3.6 tflops • The GPU in the M2 Ultra has 76 GPU cores and corresponds to 2x M2 Max, which has 13.6 tflops; so 27.2 tflops [1,2] • RTX 4090 has 82.58 tflops [3] (overclocked can reach 100 tflops

Even smaller; there was an 11" Macbook Air discontinued in 2016. It was too slow for me, but I really like the form factor. Would like to see that return with AS.

The Apple Neural Engine in the m1 is supposed to be able to perform 11 tops. The GTX 1080 about 9-11 tflops. So sounds plausible that the m1 can reach the same level in some use cases with the right optimizations.

So Elon Musk is aiming for 1000 starships towards Mars before 2050. 100/year over 10 year period (or something like that). Each booster uses about 33 Raptors, and each Starship uses 6. I assume the boosters can be reused between launch

As someone who also follows the progress online and watch the presentations by Cruise, Tesla, etc, I agree that Cruise is well ahead of Tesla. It feels like Tesla’s main strategy is to add more data, more compute power, more simulation, and
