There has been a lot of people voicing opinions on people only following back verified. I understand the frustration. In prior weeks I had been trying to build up followers. This was difficult due to limitations on following, which affects ability to follow everyone back when…
I imagine its all going to depend on how well she plays along with the whole sweeping it under the rug. I'm not liking the direction this whole thing has taken. By the time its all over, she'll have a pardon and we'll actually be claiming nothing really happened because…
Well, I think its premature to state that in such a way. Its also a question of what you consider rapid reuse. If demand requires it, SpaceX will try to enable it. One of the things I don't believe we know yet, is what kind of unique use cases will arrive for taking advantage…
I'll be honest. This is why I get triggered sometimes when people say that rockets aren't like legos. Its also why I've pushed back on the way we throw around 'rocket science' as such a high order difficulty thing. There are all kinds of things that are complex and difficult.…
As you said, some believe and some don't. The problem is that too many believe the nonsense. Or, even if they don't fully believe, it still subtly influences them. If you keep getting negative information, constantly, even if you don't fully believe it...you start to assume…
@xAI and @elonmusk Musk have been focusing on academics when this is the real problem. How often are people asking Grok subjective political questions versus PhD level Academics? What does more harm when giving bad answers? Since it seems that the most important things for…
Understood. I was able to do the upgrade from my 2018 Model 3 a few months ago. In my case with the trade-in, tax credit and 0% financing for net cost of just over $20K it was worth it. But your situation is totally different. You buy the luxury model at those prices, I assume…
We are deeply concerned by the findings in the House Judiciary Committee's interim report, led by Chairman @Jim_Jordan, exposing the EU's misuse of the Digital Services Act (DSA) as a tool for censorship. The report reveals how the DSA pressures tech companies to alter their…
Good morning! For my coffee finally, so ready to get the day going.
NEWS: Chinese robot company Unitree has unveiled their new low-cost R1 humanoid robot. • Starting price: $5,900 • Weight: 55 lbs (25kg) • 26 joints • 4 feet tall • Battery life: 1 hour • 8-core CPU + GPU • Warranty: 8 months • 4-mic array • Equipped with multimodal AI…
Please hire more Android devs so that we Android users don't have to wait until new tech is old tech to try it out.
Look at it this way...Gary's effectively saying that there is a single switch that Tesla has to flip and then its all over. That switch is simply no longer having the safety monitors in the vehicles. He really probably should think hard on what that means if he's potentially…
Nothing. From what I can see on teslafi.com/firmware its a slow rollout right now. I assume going to those first who already had the earlier 2025.26 but needed the bug fix. Neither of my vehicles has gotten any 2025.26 update yet.
What is really awesome is going to the site and seeing the upcoming launches and seeing two countdowns for within the next 24hr period. Its crazy how often SpaceX launches.
Probably because uncontrolled immigration is falling out of favor and getting stopped. So, certain political wings are looking for alternate voters. I'm not even sure they are expecting the new young voters to vote for them, but it does potentially provide a new voting pool to…
I never expected I'd be thanking Europe for being the canary in the coal mine or guinea pig for stupid ideas. It feels like the US is getting lead time on bad government ideas that helps insulate the US from the same mistakes. But, sorry Europeans...must suck.
Should also easily connect back to when filing taxes. Though I think they should be treated as a tax credit, rather than typical deductions. So you are effectively able to directly chose how the government spends that portion of your taxes.
They need to open a crowdsourcing program for various different government projects. I think a lot of NASA projects that otherwise would be cut, could potentially be funded this way.
What? I was HW3 until few months ago. I was certainly annoying with my complaints of being pushed to the back of the line with my 2018 Model 3 FSD updates. I feel for those who were early adopters of Tesla and for whatever reasons of their own are not prepared to upgrade…
Hopefully the Mars Starlinks will be mirroring constantly X and other top sites based on AI determining what to mirror based on Mars and Earth traffic. So we'll have Internet that seems seamless.
