sixQuarks··on Fugees Founder Pras Michél Speaks Out: 'I Never Wanted to Be a Spy'
Not true, there are edge cases. Some billionaires have lived very frugal lives - such as the founder of dollar stores. There was also a multi billionaire who lived middle class and gave away his whole fortune towards end of life

sixQuarks··on Standardizing Automotive Connectivity
There is so much Elon and Tesla hate, these comments are so weird.
sixQuarks··on Waymo closes $5.6B investment round
You either didn't understand what Elon said, or are deliberately misinterpreting what he said - I listened to the earnings call myself. He said it's taking longer to train the models because the miles between interventions is getting so large that it takes a while to see which model is better when they're comparing different models. It's not a "huge problem", it's a good problem.
sixQuarks··on Waymo closes $5.6B investment round
If on the chance Lidar is needed, which I know it's not because my car drives me in every type of situation I've thrown at it, then camera only data is still valuable because it gathers so many crazy edge cases.
sixQuarks··on Waymo closes $5.6B investment round
Waymo is restricted to very specific pre-mapped areas. It is not a scalable solution.
sixQuarks··on Waymo closes $5.6B investment round
I can understand the average person not realizing what Teslas can do today, but I'm highly disappointed that so-called "tech" people on this message forum have no idea.
sixQuarks··on Waymo closes $5.6B investment round
Yeah, so? You don't think they're going to keep improving it until supervision isn't required?
sixQuarks··on Waymo closes $5.6B investment round
It’s funny, my Tesla drove me 30 miles yesterday and I didn’t have to do a thing. People in this thread have no idea how good FSD has gotten
sixQuarks··on Waymo closes $5.6B investment round
So you’re going to ignore all the data Tesla is collecting, and it’s purely AI approach? Very biased comments here, I get it, everyone hates Elon, but let’s not lie to ourselves.
sixQuarks··on Waymo closes $5.6B investment round
You kind of have it correct, but Tesla is using vision, AI, and huge amounts of data. It’s like the chat-gpt of autonomous driving.

The data is the most important part, to solve real world driving everywhere, you need huge amounts of data for all the edge cases. Tesla has millions of cars on the road gathering this data, vs a couple of thousand for Waymo

sixQuarks··on NASA freezes Starliner missions
SpaceX hasn’t had much competition for years now and they just pulled off catching the largest booster in history like a pair of chopsticks. I don’t think competition is what is motivating them.

sixQuarks··on Joe Biden stands down as Democratic candidate
Bipartisan legislation is literally the worst of the worst. When both sides agree on something, you know the citizens are really getting screwed
sixQuarks··on The story, as best I can remember, of the origin of Mosaic and Netscape [video]
Does anyone remember a guy who coded a browser during the early days and sold it to Apple for $100 million? It turned out to be useless and Apple shut it down right away.
sixQuarks··on Chat Control: Incompatible with Fundamental Rights (2022)
The politicians don’t actually represent you. The world is a democracy for the donor class.

Well, you’re probably right since it seems like the US govt is foaming at the mouth to start ww3 with both Russia and China.
sixQuarks··on Super Heavy has splashed down in The Gulf of Mexico
Yeah it’s hard to comprehend how powerful those engines are. The booster is relatively light without all the propellant and starship when it’s attempting to land, but it’s still 30 stories tall and I’m assuming it weighs dozens of tons.
