FSD might not drive the exact way you drive. I for example prefer to drive close to the shoulder in a way that freaks out my wife, and she drives so close to the center line that it freak me out. At least robotaxi won’t be like the cab driver that blasts techno music and texts his girlfriend...

Great clip. I had similar thoughts when Elon started slashing Twitter employees and some average software developer friends of mine were so convinced that Twitter will fail because of it. Because of their experience as mediocre devs in mediocre companies led by mediocre people for mediocre...

These people are annoyed because Elon is not afraid to be who he is. These people are scared of what their parents think, what their friends think etc. and whenever they people see a person who is comfortable in their own skin it triggers them like nothing else. Not everyone will love Tesla and...

What’s this other thread? Here or Twitter? Thx 🙏🏼

BYD seal pricing was announced for finland today. Model 3 RWD (43,990€) Seal RWD (47,690€). AWD 51,990€ and 50,990€ respectively. Performance about the same BYD a bit better, charging rates higher for Tesla, and AWD range higher. Still the narrative in media is about the shockingly low prices...

In some ways it might be a blessing in disguise. People who are intolerant enough to not accept differing view cause a lot of HR trouble in companies in my experience.

not quite what you’re looking for, but your area would have a company doing natural building that will build you an actually eco friendly house that’s durable and healthy to live in.

Right, Yes it’s not that straightforward, but point being that the US is very lightly taxed if you only have long term capital gains income.

You do understand that in Mars we are starting off from a much more hostile environment than we could ever get the earth into being

My understanding is that long term capital gains are taxed at 0% up to $80+k for married filing jointly. And 15% after that unless your gains are high. So you can get quite a bit over $100k of long term cap gains as a joint filer before you even get to $5k

Without a quote, screenshot, or something it’s a complete mystery what this post is about for some people without ability to use X. Tough taters etc, but i would appreciate more context 🙏🏼

FWIW climate is a system that will never be stable. It’s always looking for homeostasis through the help of biosphere. Thinking that we can come up with technological substitutes to these biological systems that have been keeping the planet habitable for millions of years is peak hubris, and...

I was wondering why some “tweets” show up correctly and some don’t.

Could you provide a screenshot, text, or something other than just the link please?

While I think Elon is banking a bit too much on the supposed inevitability of actual intelligence being possible artificially, the size of the team doesn’t tell much. Especially when it’s R&D heavy software work. Advancements can be very nonlinear as are overhead from coordinating bigger teams...

There would be plenty of other Teslas in the network, but as someone else mentioned most of all rides are with 1-2ppl onboard. Makes sense to focus the scale on a small vehicle imo. I personally would have my own family car regardless, to have child seats, comic books etc in at all times. Also...

You're cherrypicking counterfactuals.

Most importantly one has to make sure to stay in the game. Just because you (and many of us here) lucked out doesn’t make you a genius.

Not true! Nokia N9 debuted buttonlessness with gestures. Way ahead of its time and such a tragedy 😢

Looks like an ecoflow powerbank. Probably not something Tesla would fit in their cars 🤪

Great to have found this thread. Finland has a great site in English on different biotopes and their effects on biodiversity. https://www.biodiversity.fi/en/

The video of regenerating a piece of desert in Saudi Arabia that I linked, where I got that quote is really something I would recommend watching. It embodies the things what I would like to see in our future. Local, low technology solutions that not only regenerate the land but also provide...

I have no idea what you are on about

Just because you don't like the solutions don't make them valid. Isn't your point about AGW literally that we shouldn't relax? You are making very little sense my friend.

Great example. Or the one where glyphosates that do not affect any mammalian pathway affect gut microbes that at the time weren't known to be a big part of who and what we are. We have many unintended consequences of our actions that we will most likely never know the true cause of, because we...

It is just an example. One can acknowledge that there are events that we know quite well will happen at some point, we just don't know exactly well, but we can also acknowledge that there events that we don't even know about could happen. Current trends are towards centralization of capital, and...

Oh now you are saying we shouldn't do anything about it! We literally have survived many such events, the proof is in us being alive right here right now. Its the current system that won't survive it. Why would you go full steam ahead with a system you know won't survive something that will very...

JRP3, direct question to you. What do you think will be the consequence of the next Carrington event that could (or could not) cause the grid to be down for years? And this is a known risk. There are also plenty of risks we do not know about. This is obviously also a risk to Tesla investors. In...

You are stuck in magical thinking about a stable world that is fully predictable. There’s a great word that encapsulates your ignorance - hubris.

Time and real world volatility will be the judge. Not you, nor me. Like I said there is a 100% probability that there will be a disruptive solar event. We do not know what the effects on electric systems will be, as is stated by the top expert i quoted in an earlier post. What do you think will...

There’s also an analogy for this in product development. Test first with small experiments before scaling. We are not doing that right now. How do you think a globally electric electrified economy might do if we lost the grid for a few years. Open up your mind a bit and engage with the right...

Not at all. Scale and speed. Look at natural systems and evolution for an analogy.

Like I’ve said multiple times, the problem is the scale and speed. We engage in new ways of doing things at scale before we can validate them in the real world. Electrified economy, for example, is something that has not experienced even the predictable volatilities! See my comment on carrington...

I would like to wrap this up from my end with a few quotes. Peter Senge "Today's problems come from yesterday's solutions" Stephen Hawkings said that 21st century will be the century of complexity Albert Einstein "We can't solve problems with the same thinking we used to create them. We...

This whole sun storm topic is very fascinating. Here's a ChatGPT translation of the relevant part of the article

By solving things I mean new interventions. Such as, instead of ending FF and reverting to a previous way of doing things, we introduce a new way. Solving via positiva instead of via negativa. Adding instead of subtracting. So what's the problem with that? Not necessarily anything if it would...

I find it curious that I, who advocates for ending of fossil fuels, takes the existential risk of human caused problems seriously, get so much push back on this thread. I’ve explained a couple times already that I’m not advocating for status quo. First and foremost We should stop creating...

But I understand where you're coming from, I used to be there too! The left-brained approach you're taking is one of the many problems of focus on CO2. In a CO2 spreadsheet all animal agriculture looks like a bad idea. But when in a real world experiment, where traditional animal agriculture has...

More the reason not to repeat myself over there

Looks like the same people as on this thread. Maybe you can use my responses on this thread to educate yourself instead of me repeating myself?

Btw fun fact about succession. In Finland, where I'm from, large chunk of endangered species are dependent on traditional animal based agriculture. So now instead of letting autonomous biological robots graze the meadows, volunteers spend time scything meadows clear from becoming boreal forest...

Btw in this publication in Chapter 4, "Feedback delays in complex dynamic decision tasks", you have a good articulation of the problem with trying to act (fixing CC in this case) in a system that has feedback delays...

Animal products, plant based products. This is neither as straightforward. There's a real role in nature for creatures that disrupt the succession process. Megafauna used to do this, but since we do not have those anymore, we can do good as people by emulating their effects on nature. By having...

I'm not advocating for doing nothing. I'm advocating for not trying to save the whole world. Brace yourself, your loved ones, and your community for a future where you cannot assume that everything that you need to survive is abstracted away. Maybe a bit paradoxically, accepting the inevitable...

It "fixes" some things, and it will create some new problems. The meta problem is the pace and scale of these "fixes". Doesn't matter how intelligently designed these fixes are. Nature and evolution has figured out the right approach long time ago. Have a wide variety of approaches specific to...

So if you could in an instant change the energy sources from fossil fuels to renewables, all the problems would be gone? I respect your optimism, but your take is not consistent with complex system dynamics. Letting yourself see the real situation is not easy, because it requires for you to...

Agreed, its about what we do instead. If we do more of the same with different "fuels", it won't fix anything.

Its about reaching a singularity with regards to intervention speed and scale. Certain feedbacks have delays that we cannot speed up regardless of the speed of our information systems or advancements of technology. Changing complex systems also ALWAYS have unintended consequences. So if we...

It is delusional to think that if we only change the way we produce energy that we use to impact our planet will result in a homeostasis wrt climate and other environmental issues. The impact will mostly stay the same whether we burn or not. It’s rooted in this left-brain dominant thinking that...

that’s not at all my argument. My argument is that the living globe is not for us to fix. The more fixing we do the more problems we will create. I’m not arguing for status quo, quite exactly the opposite of that.
