I haven't worked remotely but I have travelled solo a fair amount and his points about loneliness resonated with me. However, I don't think everyone has to stay traveling if they are a remote worker. As he mentions it takes time t

Umm, Radar? Comma.ai is doing vision+radar right now and driving cars with it.

Humans die on average every 80 million miles driven ( not sure the metric for highway miles only ), but prove that Tesla can beat that metric and you can assume lives are being saved.

I don't think using a percentage as reference is useful in this case. There are a variety of reasons why giving 2 billion (even if it's 1.2%) is much different then giving a few hundred or thousand dollars. You have to be much mor

Or the kids don't fully understand the decisions since they're usually 17-19, have very little real world experience, and college has been described to them as the main path to go down from a young age.

I think you are drastically over estimating how many people with his money would go out and start a rocket company and an electric car company and risk losing all of their wealth because of it.

Lol, my the munger quote was just an example of people who are more accredited than a random hackernews poster thinking that Elon is a genius. But sure, Berkshire Hathaway owns 0 Tesla stock [0]. Not all opinions have secret motives haha. [

It's a metaphor homie, he's just saying he thinks he's really smart but even still theres a risk he overestimates himself.

>Nobody expects that Tesla manufactures 16,000 Model 3's per month. What are you talking about? They are sustainably producing 5000/week now, and have backlog for the next 1.5 years at least.

This is so hilarious to me. I don't think there is an instance of him saying he's a genius. Regardless, you're inferring a person whose ran/started several multi billion dollar companies, in a variety of fields, as well

I think you're mostly correct, but more or less I was just trying to suggest that there could be other reasons why people leave companies a month in, other than just sketchy, the-company-is-on-fire type issues.

This is a hilarious non-issue that pulls on antiquated notions of drug usage. This whiskey he was sipping for 2 hours in that podcast was much more harmful then that single puff of legal weed he took, but nobody cares about that.

He's always had sort've a goofy/semi-awkward style of talking. He has immense pressure to say the right things, and he also has a huge amount of things in his head (genius), so probably takes a bit to formulate an accurate th

He's said repeatedly that people seem to assume it's an option that he work this much, but it is not at all because if he doesn't the company risks insolvency.

Could it be it's a very intense place to work and people who get in that position decide they don't want to work the long hours when they could be making just as much money somewhere more cushy?

I haven't had blood work done recently tho I do notice the difference if I'm away or forget and don't take the supplements regularly. Cost isn't really an issue, I pay 15 dollars on Amazon for 360 5000 IU softgels. Shoul

It was actually my doctor who recommended this after a blood test showing I had a Vitamin D deficiency, and initially I was taking 15000 IU for a short period. I have been doing this for at least 6 months now with no ill affects, and many p

You're probably well aware of this, but Vitamin D supplements have been life changing for me. There was an article a while back pleading to the FDA to fix the recommended daily limit, suggesting it might be 10x too low. I take 10,000 I

If he were manager for 54 years at the same restaurant, would the sentiment be much different? Just thinking out loud, it seems like a lot of the 'point' of this article is that he intentionally stopped progressing in his work, bu

I mostly agree with what you said, but I disagree that people don't feel the need for more when emergency strikes. No one is happy they can't afford healthcare when it's needed.

Luckily not all self driving approaches are trying to hard-code rules into their algorithms. See comma.ai , they use ML to have the driving agent learn from millions of miles of human driving data.

Just tacking on to this, I'd also be careful to attempt to quantify what we gained by an experience, just because of the limitations of our words or thoughts. Just because there is 'nothing learned' or something doesn't

This comment is so insane to me. How can you say Tesla isn't anything to write home about when, according to many many credible automotive critics, they've invented several of the best cars of all time? Love or hate Musk sure, but

How about some appreciation the guy is sacrificing his free time to work towards bringing us the future?

Why would a company with the best self driving car tech in the world be secretive about it? Sounds like a scam company to me. Google is releasing their disengagement statistics at least. If you could beat theres it seems like you would too.

Hmm, yeah, you know what now that you mention it there's loads of charismatic billionaires in prison for their tweets.

Waymo has the best tech for sure and even they are far off from full autonomy. Full autonomy in Phoenix, sure, they're the closest, but not full global autonomy. The other issue being those cars prolly cost somewhere in the $500,000 ra

So just anecdotal but I've definitely realized the cog in the machine bit since like age 24, and honestly I still think life is pretty great, definitely not a sea of misery and despair. I can enjoy the lifestyle my work provides even i
