Extremely busy CEOs speak to other busy CEOs through assistants; otherwise it’s weeks before they can find a common time slot. I doubt the person Cook hung up on was Elon himself.

Um, Elon was also reported to have slept on the the factory floor for the Model S.

If you look at earnings since inception, they're still down roughly -$5 billion.

The tweet author, who is currently writing a book on pandemic hysteria, quotes death statistics from a study ( https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.28.21261159v... ) which is not designed to measure preve

Of course these other journalists were named more often in surveys: they have a much broader reach. Name recognition is not the issue; ethical standards are.

If someone is found innocent at trial, it is therefore a coordinated political attack? That’s a stretch.

Please, apply some critical thinking and stop regurgitating this propaganda. If a judge tells you to stop doing something, you stop doing it, especially after being warned multiple times. Whether your reporting ended up being the critical

Looks like Murray was in contempt of court for doxxing female witnesses in a sexual assault trial, in defiance of a judge’s order.

Comparing revenue to a prior quarter when their factory was shutdown due to a pandemic is a little disingenuous. Look at “same store” sales (same market, like China or Europe) over time for the real growth story.

Operating margin is 11%. It’s the first time Tesla has been GAAP profitable without regulatory credit sales (pollution credits that delay other automakers’ EV programs) included, which is significant. They never should have sold a single p

Sales of these models have been collapsing for several years now, because they’re at the end of their cycle and in need of an exterior redesign.

Apple didn’t rewrite their OS to get there, however. I guess someone at Google needs a promotion.

I'm not sure I would call this facial recognition; it's a facial identity scan. These states are not surveilling applicants for unemployment.

The CPU isn't compositing, it's rendering 2D objects, I think—text, vector graphics, etc.

Because if your GPU is in the display, the display can be 8K at 120Hz and still be driven by a single cable using any Mac from the last five years.

CDT is dog slow, though. It is painful to use.

The easiest way to take down Starlink is with ground-based lasers. Superpowers already possess this capability.

Not at all. The easiest way to take down Starlink is with ground-based lasers. Superpowers already possess this capability.

Surely if it's still in orbit, is is reflective enough to be occasionally observed by telescopes on Earth.

Outside of those on the extreme, market forces ensure that consumers get what they pay for when it comes to computing. The paranoid will always be paranoid, that doesn’t mean the sky is falling.

The demand for those things is fixed. Even TVs—everyone’s already upgraded to 4K. It’s discretionary items, like cars, housing, renovations, luxury appliances, and elite schools, that will experience inflation. Human wants are infinite.

This is the danger of requiring humans to monitor non-L5 systems for safe operation. They are incapable of babysitting robots, and their brains shut down involuntarily. Shit automation is more dangerous than no automation at all.

I think the answer is that contributing to Bazel will not get Facebook devs promoted, but creating something new will.

by new_realist 5y ago
Bazel is the best out there, in my opinion. It’s not exactly targeted towards the hobbyist, though—more the professional.

by new_realist 5y ago
Why not direct these investments to Bazel instead?

No, it doesn't; it just has to cost less, overall. Efficiency is only a weak proxy for cost.

Of all the critiques I've read, this one is most arrogant. "We found this great way to cause cancer. Cell phones can't do it this way, so they must not cause cancer." Cancer may be caused, or abetted, by yet undiscovere

Autopilot lulls drivers into a state of incompetence. This is an involuntary physiological response that humans cannot control. It’s like giving alcohol to the driver, where Tesla is the bartender.
