You don’t suppose this is passive resistance by the police to all the scrutiny they’ve been receiving? Start telling people that the system is all backed up and their hands are tied?

This particular movement, to its credit, seems to acknowledge this flow of money. It's about morality and control for them.

How long have you been watching this space? Batteries are hard and many many lab-scale advances don't make it. It's still cool to check them out, but skepticism is definitely warranted.

I think he's got it exactly wrong — the reason we have seen a lot of "non-tech tech" companies is that software still fundamentally kinda sucks. We have become so used to it we don't always notice, but software is a fra

If we could be using that land for high-value crops, we probably would — look at the land values for cropland vs rangeland and you'll see all the incentive needed to allocate more cropland. I'm not saying we can't or shouldn

The water and land that they use isn't necessarily useful for other crops. Marginal pasture land can't be magically turned into cropland but almond orchards can.

Not mentioned is that you can count to 12 on one hand using your thumb to point to finger joints/segments and still have a zero state. So you can actually pretty compactly represent up to 144 on your hands!

Well, hello, Junior. That's thinking!

Missed opportunity to call them "digital delicacies".

Hmm, I’m guessing the lawyers behind the suit aren’t getting paid in loot.

I think it's not so much that, it's that things like this really do happen to all car manufacturers, but anything Tesla always makes news. Not to say they don't have quality issues — they totally do — but they tend to be ove

Well, perhaps that should be revisited, given that there's history and precedent.

Incitement has been a limited carve-out from the First Amendment pretty much from the beginning. Stating a political view is different from threatening your opponents with violence.

Plenty of tractors in this power class, and electric torque means it will punch above its weight: https://www.kubotausa.com/products/tractors/utility Autonomy is a proof-is-in-the-pudding thing. If it works as adv

Unless they are performance-bound, this is pretty unlikely. The productivity benefits are hard to ignore.

Oh, I see. It's still nevertheless likely that stronger chip packages will be bundled with more RAM.

The same logic they already use for L1/L2 caching, and/or VM could pretty easily be adapted.

My guess is that they are releasing the M1 right now because it's the smallest SoC they're going to make and its yields are just barely enough to be viable. Once they get better yields on the 5nm process, they will start making th

I think Hotz's hypothesis re: uber pool may not be correct. I don't think it's the slowness alone that has people reject uber pool, it's the slowness + having to share with yet another stranger. Robotaxis promise cheape

Low time to publish has its place, but not if it's presented as truth.

The Model Y is desirable just because it's a Tesla SUV/crossover that's more affordable than the X.

Maybe... there's some kind of threshold of deceleration that triggers the brake lights when pulling off the throttle but I don't know what it is. It could also be autopilot on.

If you want an EV that can do everything an ICE car can do, including reasonably convenient road trips, it's still the only option. (The delta is not quite as strong in the European or Chinese markets, but it's still there.) Thing

Sigh... I’ll ignore the subtle dig and respond to this straight. I don’t want my daily driver phone that I rely on to do my real hacking to be a science experiment. I want it to be a tool that always works, and I want it to be somebody els
