Just piling on: also absolutely loved this talk, even as someone not in the industry.

Save some money and switch careers? Nothing in physics says you have to stay in a field you don't like your whole life. Lots of places are hiring, try something outside?

This is crazy impressive to me man, props. No phone/no car is rebellious in this day and age.

There are an insane number of job openings right now.

>As software engineers we've built lovely tools for ourselves (development environments, VERSION CONTROL, etc). Hmm, can't say I agree with your second point. The industry standard version control is notoriously messy and hard

All Teslas now have the 8 cameras and computer chip and Autopilot comes standard. it's 10k to enable the FSD via software.

Agree in theory but no one has built in a similar sensor suite to Tesla or added a powerful enough computer chip in their cars. This roots back to Tesla treating the whole car like a unified piece of software and having much better programm

"Any car with adaptive cruise control and autosteering is gonna behave identically to a Tesla with autopilot for 99% of the time behind the wheel." This isn't even close to true. Most LKAS and ADAS systems will only last a fe

Tesla's handle this pretty well, it auto routes you to supercharges and tells you how long to charge, etc.

Whether you ever take a roadtrip is not 99% psychological. Sure you more commonly stay within range but for instance I drive several hours to see my family regularly. No supercharging stations would prohibit that or 2-3x the time taken.

Sure but it's not just about quantity. They need to be along the highways to be useful for roadtrips. And no one else even has the tech for supercharging at the moment, it's 72kwh supercharges vs 50kwh (rare) ( as far as I know ).

Autopilot sure but software updates are obviously an issue if they can brick your car.

I'm really happy Ford and others are starting to actually deliver on EV's. I do however think there will be a long list of issues as they scale the roll out, given the newness and complexity of this product. Here are some concerns

What a beautiful easter egg.

I feel like I read this same article about Starlink's program early on, swapping out a big chunk of core players. Seemed to work out for them.

You don't need to remove all of them? Just get it light enough to float it?

Dumb question but what about heavy lift helicopters moving containers off 1 by 1?

Working on a cement tug and barge we worked 12 hours a day 28 days at a time. But the best part was it wasn't even consistent 12x12. It was usually 6x6x6x6 and sometimes sporadic, so you never had time to get good sleep. Also on your o

A "half step up" doesn't really do it justice. Most current LKA + Adaptive Cruise Control on cars will only keep you in the lane for a few seconds before requiring human engagement. The Comma Openpilot has already driven inte

So far there are only 2 car companies with comparable quality, Tesla, and GM with Supercruise ( available on only 1 model ). This is intended to provide functionality for all the rest

Linking cement production to global warming issues is at least as strong a connection and similar scale as linking Facebook to whatever bad thing you think they're doing, which is to say, a very vague one.

should someone who works on a cement tugboat have to believe they are building a better world. or can they just do their job?
