Tiny corp/tinygrad has been working for a year+ and has raised something like $5 million dollars to try to get AMD chips up to speed to Nvidia, without much success. Check out twitter where George Hotz has been very vocal about AMD needing to open source their chips to allow someone to help them get up to speed.

Canonical is a ripe target. Canonical has been trying to grow Ubuntu and other tools in the enterprise world for the last few years without significant success, and much of the Nvidia devkit stuff is built around Ubuntu.

I don't entirely understand why you can't just have a motor move the door for newer aluminum doors. They aren't that heavy.

We need to put the sulfur back in the cargo ship fuel ASAP. Since the ban ocean water and global air temps have shot up like a rocket, far beyond the normal swings in El Niño weather patterns .

I fly Texas to Florida pretty regularly for leisure with my kids. We all have clear/global entry. Our normal procedure is to pick 6-7AM flights with carryon only. This means leaving for the airport around 4 or 5. With a 2.5 hr flight that typically puts us out of the airport by 11 and generally starting our day by noon.

Colorado doesn't salt the roads (for the most part anyway). They use de-icer, sand, and gravel.

I am currently on a team of a dozen people, I am one of two who are married and who has children. It is challenging to say the least.

I could buy a whole off lease fully deprcriated server and a year of colo with a gig link for under $4,000, yes. I would almost certainly see better performance than any cloud provider can give me too.

You don't spend time charging if you use home charging infrastructure.

My Audi e-tron now sells for $25-35k used (from the original $80k+USD MSRP!) I did not pay for the internet package, and therefore my car is now completely offline. I use apple carplay so the MMI/computer is mostly useless anyway.

I believe on Teslas you can outright remove the SIM that provides internet, and the car would function mostly fine. Used model 3s are in the sub $20k range now.

I pay $23/USD/mo for the family version in the US.

Do you buy them after you’ve finished listening?

It depends on the state/region as it depends on the underlying electricity cost. You can “fill up” for like $5-15 if you’re in a state where electricity is inexpensive and you’re willing to charge at off peak times.

I believe all the cray stuff is being spun down and discontinued.

If you are easily motion sick they will not work for you. They’re a great product though, and I love the idea. Unfortunately I move my head around too much when sitting still I get motion sick trying to read text.

Nuclear reactors and thermal depolymerization seems promising. We could probably mine every landfill site in America for a century before needing to think about something else.

Niedermeyer is a pathetic member/leader of “TSLAQ”, a group of people that think all of Tesla sales are fake, that Tesla is a large scale financial fraud like Madoff, and other completely insane theories. He has made it his full time job (literally) to disparage Tesla and other EV manufacturers.

Apologies, that's what I get for skimming through the thread.

Using Texas as an example:

10-80% on a Model S/X is 70kwh. Rate billed to customers will vary from 30-50c/kwh at time of charge. Spot in Texas typically ranges from 5c to 15c/kwh. Assuming charge equipment is fully depreciated all they need to pay is maintenance and network cost, which is marginal across a bank of 20 chargers.

70kwh x 25c = $17.50.

They're quite close in arena format: https://chat.lmsys.org/?arena

In states where they are registered as an energy provider? A lot. A 10-80% charge will net Tesla $20. Comparatively a gas station that refills a midsize car with a 20 gallon tank will only net $6.

I understand that and am calling that claim into question.

You must not have been spending million per year. A friend's company spends 10 million/year with GCP, which isn't huge, and can have an engineer from any group in a meeting the next day after a high priority issue.

How frequently are you engaging your account reps? You should be able to get the ear of a PM within 48 hours in most cases.

TikTok found all of those people very quickly, they famously don't use a public cloud provider. Infra isn't magic.

Nature abhors a vacuum. If the ad displays are worthwhile then advertisers will be drawn to use X regardless of the audience or what their ads are displayed next to. There is a porn shop in my city with a Coca-Cola billboard above it because it's on the most major thoroughfare.

Western market Volvos are made by the "original" Volvo with minimal Geely influence. For now anyway.

This is unquestionably a hit piece. I’ve been to Boca Chica and their safety standards seem leagues ahead of oil and gas.

Tesla is one of the few companies that does not allow lease buyouts.

I have been saying for years the next move for Apple is to ditch the charge port entirely. It makes the phone significantly more secure as well since Cellebrite, elcomsoft, etc rely on the lighting port /usb-c for mobile forensics work.
