@SawyerMerritt Don't they have a deal with an auto manufacturer? I can't remember who they did the demo with.

Also not sure where the robots are being deployed.

Figure says they are now manufacturing 55 humanoid robots per week, and that they can now build up to one per hour. I guess this means they are doing roughly one 8 hour shift per day 7 days a week, or maybe 12 hours 5 days a week?

@DirtyTesLa Happy days!

This thing is aggressively picking parking spots as soon as it sees them now. I could trigger the loop easily before and haven't been able to now

Feels like FSD 14.3.2 isn't getting stuck in a loop looking for parking anymore. Or am I just getting lucky?

@SawyerMerritt They should sell hundreds of those!

@CuriosityonX This is obviously fake. The wheels on a Tesla would be cooler than on a gas vehicle because they don't use friction braking. Regen happens in the motors not at the wheel.

This is how electric cars vs gasoline cars look under thermal imaging.

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla Jesus Fucking Christ that guy swears a lot!

Jason Cammisa on software-defined vehicles being @Tesla’s idea: “The car (Model S) itself that I drove is nearly 10 years old. It drove itself the whole way. Think about that. My e-Golf is a 2019; it left the factory, and it’s static from here on out. But here is this car (Model S) that has evolved and gotten additional features, and it can f**cking drive itself. It pulled into the parking lot. What 10-year-old car in the industry gains features? None. That’s when you start to think this company is just different.” via The Carmudgeon Show: youtube.com/watch?v=q2WfYE…

@thejackbeyer I run mine on pure Old Rip Van Winkle Family Reserve Bourbon because I can't afford high octane gas.

I put 100 octane racing fuel in my land rover to see how it would run and its so nice I don’t know if I can ever go back to regular trash gas 😅

@DirtyTesLa It doesn't even look like the suspension is at extract mode height. I wonder if they know they can raise it with a push of a button? :)

Fact: Cybertruck is the first vehicle to ever get stuck on the beach

@DJSnM Two outta three ain't bad.

This is the second time New Glenn has had trouble with its second stage.

@thejackbeyer @AstroForge You were supposed to pull it down over your eyebrows.

Unsure if the hair net is actually necessary or if the cleanroom guys are just messing with me today @AstroForge

@SciGuySpace They landed on a seagull?

Not an expert so I can't really comment on this. But hopefully NASA will soon. nasa.gov/image-detail/d…

@JerryPikePhoto @NASASpaceflight It looks like they literally blew the roof off.

An apparent anomaly has occurred at Blue Origins 2CAT testing facility, damaging the roof in the process

Picked up the new truck last week. Got it wrapped this week. Getting the armor package installed next week.
