What's wild to me is that today there are more companies with more than 100 unsupervised self driving cars out on the road that DID NOT exist (as a company) back when Tesla CEO told investors they're a year away from…
True story, for example take Tesla's promise of self driving which was delivered back in 2015.
Maybe if you think really hard you’ll come up with other (more useful) examples.
“ one way that humans have historically accessed the ineffable” that’s my question, what about the other ways that have been automated away. Is there something special about mathematics or is it the authors first…
Apologies is this is a simpleton question, but how does this differ than most of the mechanical work previously done by hand, but is now automated?
"the slowness is a feature" - I grew up in eastern block of Europe in the 80-90s, this type of sentiment has a real "the party loves you, this is for your own good" vibe.
Every copy is better than the original, true story.
Ohh sure, its users use it for all sorts of things https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/03/elon-musks-xai-s...
Or in my context: > Give a person code, and you help them for a day. Teach them to code, and you frustrate them for a lifetime.
While the author’s (banker and a data scientist) experience is clearly valuable, it is unclear whether it alone is sufficient to support the broader claims made. Engineering conclusions typically benefit from data…
From the article: “ The White House, which was responsible for the assessments, said the information will be housed within NASA to comply with the law, but gave no further details.” It doesn’t seem like the admin…
Not sure if this is accurate. It seems they’re refusing to take the risk.
They are indeed some of the best floors to roll on.
I can’t believe Justin Trudeau would lowball your friend like that.

I get about 21 hours from mine, it's running Windows but powered off.
Ahh yes the "we'll rewrite this code from scratch" argument; known well to work every time!
Not sure if the last sentence is in jest or not, but here's a list of crashes for just one of their plane models: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incident...
Indeed it's totally worthless data, like what are you going to do, dissect people into groups that you could heavily target and try to sell them gizmos or swing an election? Pfft, not worth the effort. There are no…
What's worse is that I heard rumors they don't allow slave labor either. Labor laws, ugh, they're the worst.
Waymo can do inner city driving better than Tesla and GM can do highway driving better than Tesla. I love the competition amongst the different platforms, as a consumer it's a win for us. I could care less on which…
Why should I trust Denise Minger over Colin Campbell? I read Capbell's China Study and I'm definitely interested in counter points to his findings, but it seems like Minger is a food blogger (and recent book author)…
My understanding is that the majority of his personal net worth is from Tesla (+Solar City) and SpaceX. Would that limit his ability to personally fund Tesla?
dsnuh - I haven't seen anyone argue against "[software+hardware] would beat a human behind the wheel", its just that developing the tech to achieve this feat with the same level of accuracy as the top 10-20% of current…
That's a really good point. I also wonder if the cyclist accident changed the mood and/or culture at Uber when it comes to autonomous vehicles. I have to be honest that it would absolutely gut me inside to know that my…
