To me its obvious that he is wrong. Great, now we can all just claim we are so incredibly smart and know anything based on feeling. Waymo is wasting tons of money driving around one city, that is literally the easiest city to driver around

Nobody in the autonomous car industry had produced anything yet. Tesla has the best system of those actually in use. Their arrogance is about as convincing as that of the rocket companies or car companies that didn't think EV were gone

Conspiracy level nonsense here. Elon tried to take Tesla private. He himself didn't want raise money on higher evaluation. He himself multiple times said they don't deserve the high stock. He has been an optimist on this technolog

I love how people always take on of a few examples and point out to that. You would think such bad arguments are above this forum. Also, that is not something that Elon or his companies would do so it doesn't really speak to my point.

What is so insane to me is how Java was the one that came out when Sun had so many other things going on. The Self language had all the tech, they had a full compiler team, a high performance implementation and could reasonably do everythin

Betting one friend on a small timing detail is fun and all, but that not really what people mean when people talk about 'not betting against Elon'. We are talking about big things. Elon said they will capture Apollo size booster d

Lets be honest here. If Tesla had invested the waste majority of their efforts on 1 city, not having to deal with all the problems of broken line markings, crazy signs, signs in different language, driving threw fog at night, driving mounta

It doesn't 'ring true' to me. Tesla might be far a way, but closer then the others. Specially when we are talking about 'as an actual business'. Waymo and co are simply having a gigantic money burning party and will

> yes much more than human driver accidents. What are you basing this on? You can just say 'despite what Tesla fans believe' as an argument. One datapoint from google 10 years ago is not really convincing. Specially as car also

There are benefits to having an Open ISA even without all cores being open.

China actually supports these laws for their own reasons as well. If China made all drugs legal there would be nothing anybody could do to stop them selling or buying drugs.

> I wonder how authors of RISC-V must feel when their architecture is being appropriated by a country that violates human rights. Like the US? Yeah that probably does bother them. I mean the US has killed 1000x more people and was engag

The Soviets didn't actually round their scientists up and force them to work. That's basically just US propaganda version of Soviet system. Not to say that never happened, but its incredibly reductionist and inaccurate.

Do you have a good tutorial for all these processes? This is something I thought would be awesome for a while, but there are a lot of moving parts. I also thought all the hardware was not yet support to do all of this.

Grub is basically a second OS. People who say 'systemd is large and should just do one thing' and then say 'this can be solved with GRUB' blow my mind.

I was not very happy with the ownCloud product and this rewirte was very much needed. I seem like they were just adding feature but tons of it just didn't work well at all. I'm fine with less features, add them when they are ready

I bet you I have spend much more time then you analyzing. And I know about all the different targets from all the different car makers. They actually have public plans of how many EV they will build (and very often they actually fall short

Wow, what nonsense. This is a very low volume car at best. This is not Tesla competition, VW is. There are already tons of EV companies and all the big automakers are already producing EV as well. Just in terms of pure electric vehicle you

Look at Tesla structural battery for this. Basically they will be using a honeycomb structure and stick the batteries directly into it, weld the connection on top and then put thin cover over and under it. The front and back part of the car

This is a strange way to look at it. The assumption seems to be we want to keep the motor cheap but then connect it to a transmission and that is supposed to be cheaper then simply using a slightly better motor? Pretty sure its isn't a

Rimac already removed it form their vehicle unless I am very misinformed. The Tesla Roadster also doesn't have it. Basically almost non of the EV coming out have it. I assume Prosche just had the expertise for and it made it easier for

I not arguing about design uncertainty, rather production uncertainty. A failure in the production is more likely to fail on the first flight then the 3rd.

Well, when you get in a plane, would you rather it be the first or the 100s? There is basically a curve from where its more risk in the early launches and then gets better, as it nears end of live, risk goes up again.

I'm incredibly skeptical. This company is many years before revenue and their valuation is absolutely huge. Its not clear to me that their technology is significantly better then other solid state companies. They are the best at market

Raptor has a combustion efficiency of close to 98.5%, there is no smog from them. Sound pollution is the real issue, and the shockwave.

No. It would be a loop/hyperloop type system you get into.

AMD makes great designs, switching to ARM/RISC-V would make them lose value but not kill them.

Totally disagree. With the same budget a much more successful vehicle could have been built. Simple changes like not going for hydrogen, separating main engines from Shuttle itself, not using hydrogen on the first stage, vertically mounted
