Its a cost savings measure. Tesla is adding an imaging radar to their cars (which gives a LIDAR-like output) because their current sensor suite doesn't cut it. "LIDAR is a crutch" is Elon trying to rationalize why he advertis

I basically settled on an Anki-like system for cramming for tests in college. But this was a situation where I largely didn't attend class, but knew what formulas I'd need to know to pass each exam. Like clockwork, about 48 hours

How many people do you think, realistically, would risk tying up $30k+ for more than 5 days dealing with return processing to take a car on a road trip? Do you really think that's more likely than excess returns due to quality issues?

The reality of Tesla's data pipeline is nothing like what Elon presented during autonomy day. If you wanted to be generous, you could describe that presentation as a very forward looking vision of what they want their pipeline to look

They state the date pretty clearly in the article. >Beginning today, October 8, we’re excited to open up our fully driverless offering to Waymo One riders. Members of the public service can now take friends and family along on their ride

That whole narrative about people on TikTok disrupting the rally isn't true. They were giving out tickets to anyone who asked - 80k tickets were given out to a venue with a seating capacity of ~5k. At no point did they stop giving out

It's obvious that the US is trying to emphasize what's going on in Xinjiang for political benefit. That said, it's pretty clear it is happening. Its important to draw attention to how powerful institutions influence media n

From what I understand there was a massive, coordinated, and sustained cyberattack on Google's services that pretty clearly originated from the Chinese government that was interpreted as a pretty clear signal to get out of the Chinese

The massive amount of toxicity and drama among Twitter users with accounts linked to their real identity is strong counter-evidence to this. When I think of "polarization and toxicity on the web", I think of Twitter arguments that
