Thanks, I did not mean it as an accusation of bias. Just something I saw on the page and shared. Appreciate you writing this and sharing.

sidcool··on Stargaze: SpaceX's Space Situational Awareness System
Lol. The million Teslas and Starlink satellites are fake? At least be subtle to lend some credence to your statement.

What are you talking about? Please read Tesla stats.
sidcool··on Tesla is committing automotive suicide
This story may be true. But I have read Fred Lanbert articles on Tesla and they are always negative. And in many cases even biased. So I'd take it with a pinch of salt.

It's not like Tesla is failing, they have $40 billion cash at hand, more than many auto company's net worth,it's that people want to believe that Tesla is failing. I hope Tesla succeeds, with or without Musk.

sidcool··on Stargaze: SpaceX's Space Situational Awareness System
Lol. So a fully self driving car with a following car is not impressive? Elon over promised, no doubt. But don't tell me their tech is not amazing. Pure vision general purpose autonomy. It's going to be a game changer. It could be late but inevitable.

Remember when it was supervised FSD? They have come a long way.

Starship is iterating fast and flying in another 5 weeks. Boring company is executing slowly but steadily, the Vegas tunnel is progressing. Unsupervised robotaxis has started in Austin. Optimus started a few years ago only, it is disingenuous to expect it to be available immediately. Neuralink has 18 patients now. Mars is happening, Elon never promised it will be possible this decade.

Your comment makes it seem that Elon's companies have done nothing. I know you are being disingenuous, but I am trying my luck to respond.

I was just having this discussion in the other thread where people were blatantly lying about Tesla because they hate Elon Musk. Hate him all you want, but his companies are truly successful.
sidcool··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
I can't argue with that line of reasoning.
sidcool··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
Why the denial? Go check the news man. And they are expanding.
sidcool··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
Tesla Model Y is not the best selling car in the world?

Did he actually do Nazi salute? Come on. People moved on from that when Mamdani did the same gesture.
sidcool··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
Your last paragraph is the only thing I agree with. Inflated stock != Ponzi
sidcool··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
Like I said. No amount of proof is enough.
sidcool··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
How so?
sidcool··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
Is Tesla really failing? They have $40 billion cash at hand. More than some legacy automobile market cap.
sidcool··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
The two flagship as best selling cars in the world. S and X were low volume cars to get started.
sidcool··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
So first it was "it needs attention". Then "it has a navigator". Then "it has a following car". You see?
sidcool··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
I agree that Tesla over promised. I strongly feel they'll deliver, albeit late. That does not make it a failure though.
sidcool··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
Seriously? This comment cant be serious.
sidcool··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
People have taken rides in unsupervised Teslas. Please check news.
sidcool··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
Nop. The S and X were always meant low volume high priced. And it's a great strategy. Didn't Tesla repay loans before it was due?

Challenge is that even that good past performance was shat upon by people. I hate Elon. But I don't think Tesla is doing bad at all. GM is shitting itself on EVs.

sidcool··on Ask HN: How can we solve the loneliness epidemic?
One probable cause of it is hyper individualistic achievement culture. Not everyone is tuned for this. It's not a shortcoming.

Community, friends and when spirituality helps.
