@Anton81191831 they never would as they would miss stable orbit each time by 3000-9000km - none of geo would work for more than a week - never making any sense for reciver

@Erik_XI @Yugioh_OSRS Make content that’s not worth the most gp worth doing. On an Ironman you play optimally and experience a lot of the game. On main optimal is like 4 different things then gp for everything else.

@ManaByte United States military spy satellites could have taken high-resolution images of Columbia in orbit. Mid-level NASA engineers submitted multiple urgent requests for Department of Defense imaging to check the left wing. NASA’s Mission Management Team actively killed those requests.

People comparing the Artemis II re‑entry to Columbia are telling on themselves. Columbia wasn’t lost because “re‑entry is scary.” It was lost because a hole was punched through the wing on ascent and the crew had no way to inspect or repair it. Since then? Every crewed spacecraft on Earth has safely re‑entered. Soyuz, Shenzhou, Crew Dragon, even the final Shuttle flight. Dozens and dozens of flawless returns. Well over eighty in total. Artemis II is flying a capsule designed from day one to survive lunar re‑entry with modern heat shield materials, full inspection capability, and abort modes Columbia never had. This isn’t 2003. Stop fear‑baiting people who don’t know the history.

@SummonToes @Bwood99x @TradingGuru123 @America_love786 Are you just like dipping your toe into engagement bating or do you actually think that? If x was 90 degrees the lines would be perpendicular. We would need to know the two angles outside of x equal each other or that the top lines are parallel.

@ContrarianSaver They complete ignore the fact that there is a much larger pool of people capable and willing to do the job for the same or even slightly less and can’t because of limited spots and or life circumstances. E.g. the mantra that getting into med school is harder than med school…

Here is a PSA for doctors of all stripes: if you want to preserve your $749k salaries, paltry and unfair as they may be, STFU about them! The average person thinks this is insanely wealthy, idc how many student loans you have. Trust me: silence is golden
Joseph Younis, MD@YounisJoseph

When you adjust a neurosurgeons pay for 40 hour weeks, their salary drops from a reported $749k to $483k. Now imagine 4 years undergrad, 4 years med school, 7-10 years residency, 300k debt to for an effective 483k pre-tax. You just started and you’re 20 years from using your 401k

@Gentleman_Hog @mathelirium Look up angle of attack.. also consider that often climb rate is controlled with speed rather than a control surface.

@mathelirium The angle of the wing in this demonstration is not how a wing continuously moves through the air. This would be a demonstration of control surface - like an elevator flap or aileron - creating drag to change the direction of the plane.

It is often said that the lift on a wing is generated because the flow moving over the top surface has a longer distance to travel and therefore needs to go faster. This common explanation is actually wrong.

@ronsterd89 Determine the probability and cost if the patched tire has a catastrophic failure and the lawsuit that ensues. Then determine the profitability of performing that patch times the inverse of the probability calculated above. If the profit in B exceeds cost in A, patch.

Tires with 11,000 miles and a nail. Firestone told me they are not repairable. Firestone said this is not repairable because of the location and that I would need a new tire. It's a slow leak, about 1-2 psi a day. I am in disbelief that this is not repairable.. Can I not just get a fix kit? 🤧

@Yairyup @rushicrypto You can’t reason with these people they don’t realize that the vast majority of the “gain” you get from buying only comes with the value going up. Taxes, insurance and interest are nearly as much as equivalent rent for almost a decade. Risk is a real cost.

Take a mortgage (let's say you locked 6%) for a $800,000 apartment (if you can even find it), down payment $160k (assuming you even have it), that leaves you with paying the bank 640,000*0.06= ~$38,400. So what is your point? live in the street? renting in some cases is the smart move

Just realized something that honestly made me stop for a second… $2,000 rent a month. That’s $24,000 a year. Stay there 5 years… that’s $120,000. Gone. No ownership. No asset. Nothing to show for it. Just paid to exist somewhere. That’s actually insane when you really think about it.

@elonmusk @nymbusjp The real problem isn’t the scenario, it’s who decides the trade-off and how that logic is standardized across millions of cars. Do we trust one company’s ethics to become global default?

If you want to know who has a chance to compete with FSD, apart from the nasty quantization tail that can only be solved with Hardware In the Loop for training, you should also look at the compute. Elon mentioned that you need one H100 to simulate one HD camera at real-time speed. That translates to eight H100s for the complete system. Simulation is necessary for Reinforcement Learning (RL), one of the most potent methods for training a neural network. Tesla has roughly 100,000 H100s available in Cortex. This is enough to simulate 12,500 full eight-camera systems in parallel. This is the best-case scenario, excluding gradient descent and all other overhead. Assuming the average driving speed of simulated scenarios is 50 km/h, you can simulate about 100 million km per week. However, you need to run each scenario several times — once per gradient descent iteration (or epoch). So if you assume 100 epochs (a reasonable ballpark guesstimate), you are down to 1 million km of RL training per week. If you want to reach superhuman safety, you need to train over several million kilometers. Considering you will need many iterations to add new scenarios, improve the reward function, try different network architectures, etc., you cannot get this done within a reasonable time if you do not have this amount of compute. Only Tesla has it. Nobody else is close. PS: To avoid any misunderstanding, I want to stress that I do not mean that millions of kilometers of data capture are enough to develop FSD. You need billions of miles captured by your fleet to discover the critical scenarios needed to train FSD (I explained that in a previous article).
Elon Musk@elonmusk

We’ve been able to generate physics-accurate, real-time video for self-driving training & testing at @Tesla_AI for a long time. The compute required for this (roughly one H100 per HD camera) is still far too expensive for consumer use, but probably becomes affordable in 2 to 3 years.

@internetarchiva It's kinda unreal to see people cheer for the end of something some people miss today, and some people were probably crying about back then. I didn't think people were excited to see broadcasts go.

@mheeqey_money @AdamLowisz @grok Yeah, tendency for AI to rebel was insinuated by Adam in the post I replied to. That was why I put out the question for people to see it for what it is. AI can't act beyond what it's been trained to do!

Anthropic programmed their AI to be woke. What did they think was going to happen when it got more intelligent. It is obviously going to rebel against humans because humans are its oppressor according to its framework. It will use any means necessary to do so.

JUST IN - Leaked documents from Anthropic show that a new generation of super-strong models, "Claude Mythos," is already in testing with Anthropic believing it "poses unprecedented cybersecurity risks." — Fortune

@ContrarianCurse I’ve never agreed with this take before. But this was OBVIOUSLY the above plus a dig at NVDA last week giving every competitor FSD. Note Elon literally said in the presentation “look we love our vendors… like, TSMC, Micron, Samsung, and others.” He felt betrayed by Jensen

Terafab is such a blatant fucking pump it actually disgusts me. There will never be leading edge chips from them. There will never be Datacenters in space. This is such a blatant effort to IPO SpaceX on the back of some pie in the sky bullshit and then merge with Tesla, do a humongous raise and keep twiddling his dick for another 5 years

@bcasale @brandenflasch They are massive on the spec sheet but I’ve had a 14” mbp and a 15” air side by side and it’s not that drastic. Also the mini LED on the pro have trade offs they suffer bad from blooming. The MacBook Air display is still very nice and the pro is better but not like another league

@brandenflasch If you use a MacBook Pro, and use any other notebook. It’s all built around the user experience. The PRO is different. The screen quality is far above any other product including the Air or Neo. Not even close. Speakers are a no comparison. If you are deaf and blind go Neo.

@MKBHD @Seanfrank I disagree because of AI, new creators are screwed my filter for AI content is thumbnail quality and title being way to good for the number a views. I’m terrified of clicking on them for fear of my algorithm just becoming a slop fest.

HOT TAKE: It’s actually the best time ever to start being a content creator. The economy is figured out. Niche content is finding its audience. You won’t be Mr beast or hit 10m subs anytime soon- But if you want to make a living off content it’s easier now than ever

@PatrickMoorhead Right, so then don't say "I personally built." If you want to use the tool then whatever, but this is like hiring a web developer to build a site and giving them design prompts and a spec sheet, then saying "I personally built" it.

I had a good friend tell me the apps I created were trash because I didn't have a formal database. I took that as a challenge. In 5 hours, I personally built, populated, and deployed a database containing all the content the company and analysts created over the past 15 years, press quotes, and social media posts, with integrated semantic and basic search and auto-updates. And is scalable to 10x the data. Tested it with 1,000 different queries that users would make. It works. :-) Now it's time to connect the apps I created with embedded data to the new database. It cost me around $200 in tokens. Ironically, the most expensive part was scrubbing ten years of press quotes. Still a better deal than Meltwater or Muckrack. The next step is to inject proprietary and protected data into it, with proper safeguards and attribution.
