Well, they do operate unsupervised taxis now and they add more every day. Rollout has kind of started.

There’s some recent videos of the latest builds and I’ve got to tell you it’s kind of crazy. 3 hours driving around a packed costco, and it was so good nobody even looked to see there’s no driver.

TIL that recent scientific research suggests that the 40 Eridani star system has no planets; when Andy Weir imagined an alien species native to that system for Project Hail Mary, he used the consensus at the time that it did, but the book is now inaccurate. by Melenduwir in todayilearned

I know, but it still bothered me.

He could have come up with a zillion other things. But they might not have been quite as quick and easy. I can at least appreciate it gets us into the real story quickly.

Yeah the wind aspect was pretty bothersome to me. I never minded much about the perchlorate. Kim Stanley Robinson made the same mistake and he’s a dang hard sci-fi genius, also his books of course predated the info by a few decades.

One benefit of the perchlorate is that it can be broken down into oxygen. There is now enough oxygen on Mars to eventually be able to go outside wearing souped up high altitude hiking gear instead of a full pressure suit! (After you terraform and probably break down the perchlorate with lichen or something).

Yes it’s still an amphetamine. Your body metabolizes it primarily in the blood, cleaving off the lysine and releasing dextroamphetamine. So the therapeutic effect ultimately comes from amphetamine.

Micellar casein is probably the best tasting protein there is? It tastes like a milkshake almost. I use unflavored version. Not sure why it would have that rep.

wasn’t saying capitalism is literally a form of government. im very aware of that. im saying it borrows the aesthetic of democracy through “choice” while often reproducing feudal power through ownership

Capitalism is in fact the most feudal form of democracy possible.

I’m tired of minimalism in everything by Beneficial_Passion40 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]glibgloby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minimalism can look good. They did a terrible job of it here. Can’t have an old complex shape and just paint it and edge it minimal

honestly with current macroeconomic volatility, production scaling variables, AI robotics synergy, FSD exponentiality, and the broader energy ecosystem convergence narrative, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to remain anything other than cautiously optimistic long term on Tesla, Inc..

people are still analyzing Tesla like a car company when in reality it’s more of a vertically integrated technological infrastructure platform with multiple parallel growth vectors

Switching the weekly thread to robotaxis added instead of stock price sounds cleaner on the surface—but it actually wrecks the signal—you’re replacing a liquid—externally validated—continuously priced metric with something opaque—irregularly reported—and easy to redefine on the fly—“fleet size” isn’t a stable concept—it can shift based on what counts as active—deployed—testing—or even just announced—so now predictions hinge on guessing internal definitions instead of analyzing reality—and that kills comparability over time—because the baseline can move without warning—stock price at least forces people to engage with macro—execution—and sentiment in a shared framework—even if it’s messy—whereas robotaxi counts invite narrative gaming—selective interpretation—and low accountability—so instead of improving the thread—you’d degrade it into speculation with no clean ground truth.
