The snap was always the dumbest part of the entire avenger series. Let’s say for example, you have a bunch of deer that are eating the forest bare, so you let hunters kill half of them… Then what happens next? You have the exact same problem in a few years. The snap solves nothing.

Also if you can snap your fingers and do this, why can’t you snap your fingers and make twice the food supply?

The snap is just stupid, even in a world made-up physics-defying superheroes.

If you don’t mind sharing, I would love to hear your memories of that.

1. Vehicle needed lidar
2. Vehicle should have a collision detection indicator for anomalous collisions and random mechanical problems

I’m confused though, what is the logic for redacting the statement? What is the legal justification?

I feel like you don’t actually remember what web 1.0 was like. Or even bbs’s. They… kind of sucked. I mean they were great for the time, but compared to the internet of today, pathetic.

Oh no doubt. I’m not saying that I come home and jump into doing chores, I’m saying that doing constructive or productive stuff in your own life can have a good recharge feeling in it’s own way. I certainly come home and veg in front of the computer… but if I spend the whole weekend vegging in front of my computer I end up feeling MORE like shit than I did on Friday. A healthy combination of both leaves me feeling recharged and happy.

Doesn’t matter. Still feels good to get stuff done that’s for you and not for somebody else. I’ve gotten old enough that I’d love doing gardening or fixing stuff around the house on my weekends. That shit’s for me, it makes my life better, not someone else’s.

This is directly a result of Elon’s edict that Tesla cars don’t use lidar. If you aren’t aware Elon set that as a requirement at the beginning of Tesla’s self driving project because he didn’t want to spend the money on lidar for all Tesla cars.

His “first principles” logic is that humans don’t use lidar therefore self driving should be able to be accomplished without (expensive) enhanced vision tools. While this statement has some modicum of truth, it’s obviously going to trade off safely in situations where vision is compromised. Think fog or sunlight shining in your cameras / eyes or a person running across the street at night wearing all black. There are obvious scenarios where lidar is a massive safety advantage, but Elon made a decision for $$ to not have that. This sounds like a direct and obvious outcome of that edict.

Just like it would be if Netanyahu was assassinated.

Why not? What’s the benefit of being so bitter?

That’s so weird… with some exceptions, I’ve found most people to be pretty nice and friendly once you get to know them. I would never have said “we’re all equally awful”… I think I want to keep living in my world rather than yours.

The real problem that he failed to show any progress on self-driving. Self-driving has been 2 years away for the past 6 years and that’s the only real thing that will pull Tesla out of a downward spiral. Tesla stock is stupidly overpriced and competitors are catching up.

With nothing but empty promises, people are starting to realize that the emperor has no clothes. And really, who wants to see Musk naked? …that’s a bag nobody wants to be left holding.

No one did this for a flip. This reads as someone who really likes purple. That floor and countertop cost extra and someone flipping wouldn’t have spent the money on that. A flip would be boring brown or gray with the cheapest materials and crappy workmanship.

All electricity is overhead for security reasons, routing solar energy through the rails would destroy that. Doing that (beyond the 100m test-track) would mean a prolongued political discussion.

Electricity is overhead for safety reasons (maybe that’s what you meant by “security reasons”). As long as the voltage is kept low (< 48V) and the runs of solar panels aren’t too long, the power can be run safely in the tracks.

Modern missiles are really hard to intercept, so it’s likely this is the limits of Israel’s iron dome capabilities. They’re lucky Iran wasn’t aiming for cities. This is probably trading jabs and no one wants to really piss the other side off.

Shit, I’m sorry to hear that. Homeless at 18 is pretty brutal. I hope you find your people or a partner that makes everything worthwhile. Life can be good and amazing, but IMHO it’s not something to do alone.

My first reaction was how stupid this is. Dirt, debris and other things will get on the panels and cause lots of problems, but after a few minutes I realized it’s actually quite brilliant.

There are three major costs of solar, the panels, the location, and the wiring + inverters. If the tracks are used as the wires (extremely low resistance paths back to an inverter), the location is wasted space so basically free, and the inverter can be placed anywhere along the path to remove the power from the tracks, the cost of this comes down to mainly the cost of the panel, which is actually pretty cheep these days.

The real challenges will be in cleaning & maintenance, vandalism, and modifying the track to limit the conductive paths (assuming they’re used for this).
