You think "Autopilot" is a moat? Every other company has had that stuff for ten years and their systems actually work. Adaptive cruise control ain't new. And no, I don't think Tesla can improve on build quality. Their…
>You can get all that money back if you do no longer want to wait for the product. What's your issue? I don't love fraud. Tesla loses money on every car it sells and cooks the books by charging for imaginary options.…
>stainless steal Freudian slip? I won't play along with the Gish Gallop, sorry.
>It's clear it's got a long way to go but is improving quickly. First part yes, second part no. It has been in development since at least 2015 and still drives straight into walls. Meanwhile Waymo and Cruze are putting…
1. Securities fraud is fraud. 2. Tesla is currently advertising their cars as being capable of driving themselves. They have videos of people driving with their hands off the wheel. They have failed to implement safety…
>OK, here’s the performance. Factor of 2.2X over its peers (other laptop SKUs) in multithreaded performance, going head to head with 5950X in some (floating-point) scenarios Finally a sensible comparison! As I said, it…
Why do you think x86 can't go as wide as ARM? (I predict your answer will involve something about decoders and nothing about uop caches.) What goalpost have I moved? I have said one (true) thing: that you should judge…
CPUs are designed to hit a certain clock rate. The target frequency influences the design of literally every circuit in the CPU. Downclocking a CPU is not the same as designing it for a lower frequency. An x86 CPU is…
>A factor of 2-to-3 IPC difference? That is irrelevant. What matters is the product of IPC and frequency. x86 parts today are clocked much, much higher than Apple's parts. IPC and frequency are both means to an end.…
I think that person meant "overstate". The ISA has relatively little to do with it. Sure, x86 requires power-hungry decoders, but most of the time you'll be running from the uop cache anyway. Plus you get denser code.…
Tesla is miles behind everyone else. It is hard, yes, but it is even harder if you try to do it with hardware that is not up to the task.
1. They built precisely zero stations for battery swaps. 2. Tesla has been promising a car for $35k or less for years now and still does not sell one. 3. The solar roofs exist only to give an excuse to bail out Elon's…
We know for a fact Tesla is doing something nefarious, i.e. the self driving scam. But I suppose Tesla isn't hiding anything nefarious. Most of their malfeasance is plain to see.
There are affordable electric cars on the market today with better build quality than what Tesla sells for $80k. Someone will make a killing off affordable electric cars. Every indication is it will not be Tesla.
The reason those people exist is that the US banking system is so bizarrely dysfunctional. The American system is corrupt and byzantine and antiquated and leaves tens of millions of people out in the cold. Those people…
The battery swap stations were a scam to get subsidies. They aren't any more real than the Cybertruck, Model 2, Roadster, solar roofs, semi, or Full Self Driving.
Why is it that people trot out this argument in response to any criticism of any technology? You could apply exactly the same sort of reasoning to Microsoft Bob. Do you think that had the potential to be revolutionary?…
IPFS needs to decide what it wants to be. Is it about being a decentralized caching layer? Is it about permanently storing content? Is it about replacing my web server? Is it about replacing DNS? Is it about censorship…
The problem is the system. Let us assume we have 99.9% moral people who never lie and never break the law even if they can gef away with it. Problem is the 0.1% have a competitive advantage. They will accumulate more…
Well, duh. "Free market" does not mean "unregulated market". It requires that the market be free from monopolies and that all agents have complete information. Regulation and trust-busting are, in practice, required to…
Nuclear reactors cannot explode. It is not physically possible. It isn't even close to physically possible. Reactor-grade uranium is about 5% U235 while you need >90% to make something that can explode. May as well ask…
Humans only have eyes... and the most powerful supercomputer in the world between their ears. The goal is to cut costs and keep shipping during the chip shortage. Ignore the excuses.
If you ever find yourself in a position of power, please write these thoughts down. The prosecutor will find them helpful. We aren't dealing with hypothetical scenarios here. We are dealing with a real company that is…
You don't get to smash a 4,000 pound explosive into a preschool because you want to gather data.
I'll sell you a self-driving car. Please be advised that it will drive into walls, fail to brake for stationary obstacles, drive straight off the road, and is in fact a Saturn with a brick on the gas pedal. I didn't say…
