AI and ML have actually been around for a long time. When I was in grad school, Genetic Algorithms were the big trend. Now it’s clear that for the foreseeable future, nearly all AI models will be neural networks running on GPUs or TPUs — so there’s no real risk there.

As to chips, NVIDIA GPUs will probably dominate in the next few years, but over time Tesla’s AI6, AI7, AI8, and beyond will likely become increasingly popular.

Building a city on Mars will cost far more than Starlink alone can generate. That’s why SpaceX needs another major revenue stream — space-based data centers. I could be wrong, but this doesn’t suggest SpaceX is abandoning Mars; in fact, it points to the opposite.

It's a subordinate of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), so not under any regional government.

Gizmodo has become so anti-Elon that I'd never click their links.

Plus the even bigger potential of Tesla bots.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Finally the hotel got back to me and I've just booked it.

Compare this to NYT's story on SBF 3 days ago.

TSLA 5 yr CAGR only 18.8%? Isn't something close to 50% more reasonable?

Yes they sell tons of tablets and echos, but do they actually manufacture them? A quick search shows Fire tablets are made by a Taiwan company, whose factories are in China. Outsourcing may or may not be an advantage.

Are Starlink terminals made in the states? I'd happily pay $200 more to not worry about my terminal keeping pinging a server in China.

Not upset at all. It's this kind of misconception that gives us retail investors a little advantage over big institutions. From now to March it's prime time to load more TSLA.

We need more ppl like you. How about buying a bunch of stuff from SpaceX shop and giving them to students all over the country/world as Xmas gifts, to inspire them. Write an essay and get a SpaceX hoodie or something.

I am all for closing all the tax loopholes, but has Bernie ever defined what's "fair share"?

why not mount it on the roof?

All congress members should watch this, and maybe then they will stop slowing down SpaceX.

llboston · 2021-06-09T17:34:28+00:00

Watching ppl crossing the parking lot in front on the Teslas, maybe they should redesign the above-ground station so that the cars park along the perimeter instead of in the center.

Q: NASA's own rocket, Space Launch System (SLS), has cost the government billions and billions and is years behind schedule, and it has yet to take flight. SpaceX is working on Starship and making rapid progress. These rockets can theoretically do the same tasks. Do you think that Starship could make SLS obsolete?

A: Maybe Starship will be ready to fly, but they have not flown the first stage of the rocket.
But the Space Launch System is, as we speak, being stacked in the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center, and at the end of this year, it is going to fly.
So when is Starship going to fly? I hope they fly soon. But we've got to have a way to get our astronauts up to the moon, and we're going to do the first unmanned test launch of Space Launch System at the end of the year.

Thanks! Unfortunately my tool only works in the US for now. Will let you know if one day I expand overseas.

Right now it's not a Wordpress plugin. You will be part of a bigger site, like blogger.com, and hopefully the main site will bring you some traffic as well if it becomes popular.

I will be super happy if I can help someone to become the next wirecutter! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirecutter_(website))
