On the Q4 earnings call the day before yesterday, it was revealed that over 60,000 customers are using the FSD beta currently. See for yourself by watching the beta vids people are posting - there are plenty!

There are ways to make new things safely without selling a technology that absolutely doesn't work to the public. Waymo and Cruise are bad examples because they are both far, far behind Tesla...

Electricity is different. It's obviously having a would-be electrocution every few homes from reading too many novels (by the biggest fans). https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/8qcy9y/antielectric

I am a long-term shareholder, with shares since March 2020. I have 775 of them now. Given this news I'll be a paper millionaire again this week. I say that's pretty good for a guy without a job! Nobody really cares about predictio

This is just another refusal to understand that Starlink satellites have onboard collision-avoidance systems that work perfectly. There is no way to run such a large network of satellites without automation, and everyone knows this. In this

Public libraries have nothing that I want. They have no good engineering books, they don't sell coffee, and they have to enforce every single government rule on the books. The reality is that they are government institutions, and this

What I was taught in Virology 575 at UW-Madison: new viruses face intense selective pressure, and this tends to make them less pathogenic over time as they make their way through the new host population.

I looked around the room I'm in just now, and I see a M1-based MacBook Pro, an iPhone XS, an iPad Pro, an iPhone 12, and a Sony OLED TV which most likely uses an ARM core. The only exception is my wife's work laptop, an x86 MacBoo

I recommend reading Alberto Savoia's book, "The Right It: Why So Many Ideas Fail and How to Make Sure Yours Succeed" One of the examples that Savoia provides in his book is especially helpful to recall here: Back in the 1960s
