It may only have 2 seats, but didn’t they notice the tires are painted gold. That’s an awesome design decision right there! /s
The 2 seats are probably meant to keep the death toll low. 😋

But if they thought the robotaxi was weird, that was nothing compared to the robovan. Almost no clearance and almost no windows, and then Musk exclaimed: Yes! We are gonna build it like that! It’s siiick.

neither robo- taxi or van are likely to be moneymakers. They’ll be a sinkhole of development cost, that will never come to market.

But more are probably finally catching on, with an event causing the stock to drop 9%.
It’s kind of hilarious that Enron Musks attempt to pump the stock failed so bad. 😋

Plan B secure survival on another planet.
Why? Because:
Plan A Is to make max profits, and don’t give a shit about the only planet that sustains human life.

WTF? How can a CEO walk from responsibility by claiming puffery? Which is the same as admitting to lying!
In civilized countries CEO is a position of responsibility, you can’t just talk up stock or sales with false claims. The requirements for a CEO are higher than usual, exactly because everything they say can have a financial impact.
I’m pretty sure that judgement is not according to normal practices. It’s disgusting they let that pedo walk again and again.

neither are your eyes

That’s a grossly misleading statement.
We definitely use 2 eyes to achieve a 3D image with depth perception.

So the question is obviously whether Tesla does the same with their Camera AI for FSD.

IDK if they do, but if they do, they apparently do it poorly. Because FSD has a history of driving into things that are obviously (for a human) in front of it.

Good question.
The Mars base should be started years ago according to what Musk claimed, and they should have manned flights to Mars by now. And all he has is half failed tests just to do one orbit around earth! 🤣🤣🤣

For 8 years he has claimed Fully autonomous driving will be ready next year. He even claimed years ago, that a car picking you up and driving you across the country was something we can do today!

Enron Musk is a conman, he is obviously a liar, and there are people who still believe him?!

So far Tesla seems to be achieving this just fine by using cameras alone.

Funny, last I heard, Tesla FSD has a tendency to run into motorcycles.
With lidar there would be no doubt that there is an actual object, and obviously you don’t drive into it.

I’m not sure the approach Elon Musk has to developing self driving will ever work.
From what I’ve heard about how they “teach” the AI, it probably won’t, because loading massive amounts of new data is rewarded, but there is no proper qualitative control.

we need to be spending a lot more on public education.

That probably won’t help much, until USA becomes more socially responsible overall.
The evidence is VERY clear, your chances of doing well in education decline dramatically with greater social problems.

I’m curious why you are downvoted?
When searching “wireless charging efficiency” on Google, Google offer this short explanation:

The efficiency rate of inductive chargers usually falls between 70% and 80%, though some newer models boast efficiencies closer to 90% under optimal conditions. This is slightly lower than the 90% to 95% efficiency rate often seen in traditional wired charging.

Not too far off from the statement above that 93% is already available, and apparently progress is being made.

this could actually work out

No it won’t, Elon Next year Musk has promised Fully autonomous driving next year since 2016. He has sold his cars with subscriptions for FSD for years, despite it doesn’t work. It’s even illegal to call it FSD now, so Tesla has to call it assisted FSD, which is an oxymoron.

With this move, Enron Musk will more likely ensure the continued decline of Tesla. The Cybercab most likely will not be a moneymaker, and the focus on developing it, will detract from Tesla developing much needed new EV models, for a market with increasing competition.

Tesla is far from #1 in developing autonomous driving, so the chances are very slim that they would be even close to be first to market.

AFAIK this is pretty much the current rank:
-1 Waymo (Google)
-2 Mercedes
-3 Mobil Eye
-4 GM (Cruise)
-5 Baidu
-6 Tesla

Possibly Nissan-Renault (WeRide) and Nvidia can match Tesla too.

Notice that Tesla used MobilEye originally up to 2016, but MobilEye ended the partnership after a Tesla model S had a fatal crash. I suspect the irresponsible claims implementation and practices by Elon Musk were too much.

Elon Musk is insane and a con man, to believe anything he claims about the future of his companies is naive.

Even if a word is technically correct, perceptions about the word can make it a bad choice.

I agree, I just find it strange that that is the perception of medicine that is a knockoff of an original, because that’s very common, is widely sold, and generally has the exact same effect as the original.
A knockoff is also used for a cheaper copy of an original. Cheaper as in price, not necessarily quality, although that is often the case, it doesn’t have to be. As is usually NOT the case when it regards medicine. The cheaper copy (knockoff) can usually be used interchangeably.

There are also knockoffs of Louis Vuitton products that are hard to identify even by experts. Louis Vuitton products are often not that expensive to make, so a knockoff can easily be cheaper, and have similar quality.
But disregarding how close it comes, it will always be considered cheap because it’s a knockoff and not an original product.

A knock off is a copy, a cheap knock off is a cheap copy.
There is nothing inherent in knockoff that says it doesn’t work. That would be a fake.
In medicine it’s quite common that cheaper copies or knockoffs are identical to the original product, and those are very common to become available when patents have expired.

This is usually not the case for imitations

So what? That doesn’t make them not imitations or copies, and it’s called an exact copy and is not unusual, and it’s still a copy. No matter how accurate good and efficient, doesn’t change that it’s a copy of an original heavily researched product.
These new weight loss medicines are Nobel Price material, no doubt it’s not the knock offs that will get the Nobel Price for copying what someone else did.

A distro is way more than just package managers, it’s also the level of testing before deployment, and a shitload of configuration and design decisions.

That said, everything from one distro can generally be configured to work like it does in another distro, but it’s not always easy.

If you want to try Linux, jump right into it, if there’s something you don’t like, maybe another Distro or DE has fixed that exact thing, and it’s easy to swap.

They are absolutely 100% imitations copied from an original. Just because the imitation is good or even perfect, doesn’t make it any less an imitation or knockoff.

Edit2:
There are also knockoffs of Louis Vuitton products that are hard to identify even by experts. Louis Vuitton products are often not that expensive to make, so a knockoff can easily be cheaper, and have similar quality.
But disregarding how close it comes, even if it’s identical it’s still a knockoff, and it will always be considered “cheap” because it’s not an original product.

I find it strange that the perception is that these medicine copies are not knockoffs because they are well made??? Because in medicine that’s very common, is widely sold as cheaper alternatives, and generally has the exact same effect as the original. And it’s perfectly legitimate once the patents expire.

they’re the same drug,

Of course they are, that’s what it means, it’s copied from the original.

There are also fakes that do not contain real medicine, those are not knockoffs, because they do NOT copy the medicine, only the packaging. The knockoffs are not decidedly fake because they actually work.

That man should either be committed to an asylum, or be in jail. Because he is either insane or a conman.

Absolutely, but considering the rave around AI, I wouldn’t be surprised if AI is improved more than the other parts.
I have a Dimensity 9200+ based phone, and that’s freaking fast IMO, this new SOC is nearing twice the speed of that!

Considering Moore’s law was declared dead many years ago, it’s impressive how much power and efficiency is squeezed out of new components.
AMD revived the desktop 8 years ago, and they too are able to improve significantly each year.

Wow! Just wow. This is a beast. Compared to last year flagship it’s 40% more power efficient, and about 30% faster CPU, up to 80%faster AI, and 40% faster Immortalis GPU!
Qualcomm is getting some tough competition from MediaTek lately.

When Trump claims he wants to lower taxes, you’re an idiot if you think it means for you. Unless you are in the 1%.
And just because you make more than most people you know, doesn’t mean you’re in the 1%.
