This is whining from someone that doesn't want to be responsible for the externality of pollution that these manufacturing facilities generate. The regulations are to stop the pollution, if you can manufacture without polluting, then y

> I think to be eco neutral, you would be cost prohibitive. Which would be an issue in car manufacturing and phone manufacturing. Which just shows that other places are allowing those costs to be externalized to society in general which

China did in the 1990s exactly what the US did in the 1890s, steal IP to build up its own industries. The US did it to the UK and Europe back then, China has done it against the US/EU over the last 3 decades. It's at the point now

There was an APAC trade treaty called the TPP that Rodham-Clinton/Obama pulled out of which would have done exactly that. They were forced to withdraw because of pressure from unions, ie labor not capital. Now it's the CPTPP and

Green hydrogen is a way to ship solar power elsewhere that doesn't have it, similar to a battery, but with the advantage of being able to be piped/pumped/liquified etc.

by rswail 8mo ago
Green hydrogen makes sense as a way to ship solar power to places that don't have it. Using it as a car fuel only makes sense as an interim step to full renewable/EVs. Internal combustion engines, no matter what the fuel, are wa

Yes, because relying on google-fu is the way to ensure your build environment is consistent. /s .gitkeep is explicitly not intended for git, because git doesn't recognize it at all. Having the .gitignore, which is actually recog

Then put a comment in the .gitignore. Using the actual tools built in to git directly removes steps in the process, which is always a good thing, it's documented as part of the git documentation, so you don't have to create a wiki

That is a condition on their commercial broadcast license. They are not a government owned, funded, or controlled enterprise. They are a commercial entity operating on broadcast airwaves covered by a government licence.

Cameras are only "cheap" because of mobile phone camera development, radar/lidar is going through the same process with car and mobile robotics. So the "we can train cheaply because of lots of cameras" falls down wh

For new builds, a laundry/utility room that includes the dishwashing and other "housekeeping" facilities is a no-brainer when there is a custom robot built to use those facilities as well as maneuver around the rest of the ho

Vacuuming and mopping are not inherently "designed" for humans. Dusting with a single extensible and multiple degrees of freedom arm would be much more maneuverable than a human arm. Loading and unloading washing machines or dryer

The drop in demand for Tesla's clapped out model range would have meant embarrassing factory closures, so now they're being closed to start manufacturing a completely different product. Bait and switch for Tesla investors. I wonde

Maybe they were focusing on a real world use that basically requires AI, but not LLMs. Tesla claimed that all their "real world" recording would give them a moat on FSD. Waymo is showing that a) you need to be able to incorporate

Waterfall specifications have never worked as advertised. The 1980s and 90s were full of DOD-497 multi-kilogram documents being analyzed atomically to determine the specification, and they rarely came in close any of the 3 main dimensions o

BYD already have the Atto 1 (sub AUD30K here) as do other EV manufacturers (eg Nissan Leaf). Tesla could stop spending money on bullshit like the Cybertruck and spend it on vehicles that people actually need/want.

The problem is not how well Tesla's FSD works, compared to other FSD from other manufacturers. The problem is that Musk has been promising it for almost 10 years and it is still not sufficiently stable to be rolled out and relied upon

So he milked Tesla for another $2B to subsidize xAI, has dropped the models to 2 (3 and Y), revenue is down, growth is negative, BYD is eating Tesla for lunch, followed by the other CN and KR vehicle companies. He doesn't have FSD, cam
