It's very clear for FSD - it's a level 2 driver assist system and by definition that means the driver is legally responsible for everything that happens. That's the single biggest reason I would never use FSD. I'm not

It's not a tradeoff. "Driving better than a human" means avoiding mistakes humans make and not making mistakes humans don't make.

That's the value of constraint. People regularly compose symphonies that aren't playable by any orchestra. In the worst case they have passages not playable on the actual instruments because the range is beyond the instruments&#

It took the private sector 60 years to catch up to where NASA was, using the technology NASA developed. Everybody and his brother has a launch vehicle - that's no longer a differentiator. NASA is the entity building telescopes, rovers,

I treat AI as my digital partner in pair programming. I've learned how to give it specific and well-defined tasks to do, and it gets it done. The narrower the scope and more specific the task then the more successful you'll have.

We were talking debt, not USD. The federal government does not have the power to create money, despite what people think, and so they can't print money to pay off their debts.

While drivers should always be attentive, I think the greater concern with Tesla’s FSD isn’t just for those behind the wheel - it’s for the people outside the vehicle. Pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and even children getting off scho

Okay, but now you're moving the goalposts. First it was "we don’t manufacture," now it’s "we only assemble." Let’s not forget - it was the United States that invented the assembly line, revolutionizing global manufa

US manufacturing per capita dominates China, when measured in dollars. It's laughable to even bother comparing their industrial output. In other words, being an advanced economy, the US manufactures more complex, i.e. expensive, good

If you've worked in manufacturing your whole life, then you likely know that U.S. manufacturing output is at or near all-time highs. While China is a major player, it's not true that it dominates “just about everything.” In fact,
