My view is it's pure hypeware until proven otherwise.

This isn't Tesla hate from my side either. The general consensus from enthusiasts since the beginning is Tesla is way off the mark. But the latest self driving upgrades using more LLM tech has apparently been a big step up. By that I mean going from poor assisted self driving to good assisted self driving. Getting it from there to no driver behind the wheel is another matter all together. Maybe they had a single jump or maybe it's a new path of consistent progress, I have no idea.

I'm not expecting much from Tesla. I would absolutely love to be wrong.

Expecting more from baidu, pony.ai and zoox more than Tesla. Hell even BYD with the Chinese backing it has might beat Tesla.

I've been to Los Angeles and Austin. Is San Francisco seen as a bright sunny desert climate?

Was hoping at this point in time Waymo would be expanding more aggressively.

But no one else seems immediately on the horizon and Waymo is consistently expanding well so they are doing very well indeed.

I'm excited for the last mile problem to be solved and be able to cycle on roads without drivers that actually wish I was dead or playing about on their phone. Also I hate driving.

 

"Key Points

  • Alphabet reported Thursday that Waymo, its autonomous vehicle unit, is now delivering more than 250,000 paid robotaxi rides per week in the U.S.
  • That figure is up from 200,000 in February, before Waymo opened in Austin and expanded in the San Francisco Bay Area in March.
  • Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said Waymo is building partnerships with ride-hailing app Uber, automakers and operations and maintenance businesses that tend to its vehicle fleets."

Irrational markets are irrational.

There is a reason people lose all there money on the stock exchange and there is reasons idiots make loads of money.

Any expert on this stuff are probably avoiding and have been avoiding Tesla for about 10 years. But cryto Bros have been investing for 10 years and been making loads of money.

Remember people. You don't own the money until you cash out. $100,000 in Tesla isn't the same as $100,000 in the bank.

Honestly people are probably just looking at you wondering if you are trans.

Economically disastrous.

Fossil fuel shills push nuclear because it takes so long and costs so much it will keep us on fossil fuels longer.

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago

That is true though.

Because you can excuse your shitty behaviour to anyone for anything if you make enough excuses to yourself.

Guilt free being a cunt. It's not your problem you're a cunt to someone, you're innocent!

Actual answer is too far down.

Also innocent boys doing nothing wrong being told they are the cause of all the problems in the world while they struggle and see everyone else get help they are excluded from.

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago

Yes they should be.

But fuck they are the pettiest people in the world.

I'm not saying they aren't a close ally, they are. I'm not saying we shouldn't work with them more, we should.

But we aren't going to have a close relationship with them because they can't stand us or anyone else really.

Long term I feel like Germany is a much closer ally. Culturally they act much more similar to us. France only act closer militarily which is where the main focus of that relationship should be.

Canada, nz and aus should also be kept as closest allies.

Maybe less than all the murderers we have now. Being straightened out by the military is a well known phenomenon. We can't keep doing the same things when trends are showing they aren't working, then expect them to work better. Something needs to be changed.

God no. French are the pettiest most arrogant cunts in the world.

The British will want something even if the rest of Europe agrees and France will argue about fish.

 

"Pakistan isn’t the first country you’d expect to crash the global solar party. But by the end of 2024, it quietly rocketed into the top tier of solar adopters, importing a jaw-dropping 22 gigawatts worth of solar panels in a single year. That’s not a typo or a spreadsheet rounding error. That’s the kind of number that turns heads at IEA meetings and makes policy analysts double-check their databases. It certainly made me sit up and take notice when I first heard about what was happening in mid-2024.

It’s more solar than Canada has installed in total. It’s more than the UK added in the past five years. And yet it didn’t make a blip in most Western media."

"Norway is the world leader when it comes to the take up of electric cars, which last year accounted for nine out of 10 new vehicles sold in the country."

 

Figure AI, a robotics innovator, and BMW, the German automobile giant, have revealed remarkable advancements in the Figure 02 humanoid robot’s capabilities. 

Operating on a production line, the Figure 02 robot has made a significant leap, achieving a 400% increase in speed and a sevenfold improvement in success rate.

"The UK’s era of coal-free power begins on the 1st October 2024, following a rapid decline over the last 12 years which has seen power sector emissions plummet by three quarters."

"This report provides an overview of the UK coal power phase-out, looking at changes in electricity generation since 2012 when coal began to rapidly decline. It provides context on how phase-out was achieved through a mix of initiatives and policy frameworks, and considers how this can inform the next chapter of UK power sector decarbonisation."

"Coal power provided almost 40% of UK generation in 2012, shrinking to 2% by 2019, and finally falling to zero by October 2024. In 2012, coal generated 143 TWh of electricity, equivalent to Sweden’s total power demand in 2023."

"the Alphabet-owned company has been allowed to deploy an unlimited number of robotaxis for paid driverless rides in the city [San Francisco] at all hours. In March, state regulators allowed the company to expand its commercial ride-hailing to 22 Peninsula cities.

Now, Waymo officials are declaring victory after a year of commercial driverless service without any serious incidents and say it gives them confidence to speed up their robotaxi expansion.

David Margines, Waymo’s director of product management, said in an interview that the company’s one-year track record in San Francisco “is a validation” that its robotaxis can “drive safely” and “coexist in the communities that we want to operate in.”

“Looking back over the year, I’m thrilled to say that it’s been a big success,” he said."
