@niusde_ @andreasmoring Gibt es Belege für die Behauptung, dass die Mittel massiv gekürzt werden? Im Artikel werden keine genannt und der aktuelle Etat des Bundesrechnungshofes weist keine Kürzungen aus.

Denn der Bundesrechnungshof hatte es gewagt, mehrere Projekte der Regierung, wie das Bürgergeld und den Klimaschutz, zu kritisieren. Unser Experte @andreasmoring analysiert. nius.de/wirtschaft/new…

Absolutely surreal to interview one of the greatest minds of our time, a friend, and boss. Thank you, @elonmusk 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

to commemorate alan dye moving from apple to meta, here's one of his best quotes

„Was erlaubt sich eigentlich diese Organisation, als #NGO, mich unter Druck zu setzen, dass ich mich öffentlich zu bekennen habe, weil ich sonst beschämt und an den Pranger gestellt werde? Das ist doch keine Behörde, die legitimiert ist.“ Starker Auftritt von #dm-Chef Christoph Werner bei #Lanz. #Familienunternehmer

I took delivery of a beautiful new shiny HW4 Tesla Model X today, so I immediately took it out for an FSD test drive, a bit like I used to do almost daily for 5 years. Basically... I'm amazed - it drives really, really well, smooth, confident, noticeably better than what I'm used to on HW3 (my previous car) and eons ahead of the version I remember driving up highway 280 on my first day at Tesla ~9 years ago, where I had to intervene every time the road mildly curved or sloped. (note this is v13, my car hasn't been offered the latest v14 yet) On the highway, I felt like a passenger in some super high tech Maglev train pod - the car is locked in the center of the lane while I'm looking out from Model X's higher vantage point and its panoramic front window, listening to the (incredible) sound system, or chatting with Grok. On city streets, the car casually handled a number of tricky scenarios that I remember losing sleep over just a few years ago. It negotiated incoming cars in tight lanes, it gracefully went around construction and temporarily in-lane stationary cars, it correctly timed tricky left turns with incoming traffic from both sides, it gracefully gave way to the car that went out of order in the 4-way stop sign, it found a way to squeeze into a bumper to bumper traffic to make its turn, it overtook the bus that was loading passengers but still stopped for the stop sign that was blocked by the bus, and at the end of the route it circled around a parking lot, found a spot and... parked. Basically a flawless drive. For context, I'm used to going out for a brief test drive around the neighborhood to return with 20 clips of things that could be improved. It's new for me to do just that and exactly like I used to, but come back with nothing. Perfect drive, no notes. I expect there's still more work for the team in the long march of 9s, but it's just so cool to see that we're beyond finding issues on any individual ~1 hour drive around the neighborhood, you actually have to go to the fleet and mine them. Back then, I processed the incredible promise of vehicle autonomy at scale (in the fully scaleable, vision only, end-to-end Tesla way) only intellectually, but now it is possible to feel it intuitively too if you just go out for a drive. Wait, of course surround video stream at 60Hz processed by a fully dedicated "driving brain" neural net will work, and it will be so much better and safer than a human driver. Did anyone else think otherwise? I also watched @aelluswamy 's new ICCV25 talk last week (x.com/aelluswamy/sta…) that hints at some of the recent under the hood technical components driving this progress. Sensor streams (videos, maps, kinematics, audio, ...) over long contexts (e.g. ~30 seconds) go into a big neural net, steering/acceleration comes out, optionally with visualization auxiliary data. This is the dream of the complete Software 1.0 -> Software 2.0 re-write that scales fully with data streaming from millions of cars in the fleet and the compute capacity of your chip, not some engineer's clever new DoubleParkedCarHandler C++ abstraction with undefined test-time characteristics of memory and runtime. There's a lot more hints in the video on where things are going with the emerging "robotics+AI at scale stack". World reconstructors, world simulators "dreaming" dynamics, RL, all of these components general, foundational, neural net based, how the car is really just one kind of robot... are people getting this yet? Huge congrats to the team - you're building magic objects of the future, you rock! And I love my car <3.

Release Tesla Full Self Driving Supervised in Europe - Sign the Petition! c.org/DmfQdzptnz via @Change

Not sure if any impact. But not trying is guaranteed 0 result. Sign petition for FSD in EU. c.org/Vj6DsfTs2n

I’m convinced that anyone who says Thinking Fast and Slow is a good book is just trying to masquerade as erudite and sophisticated Nothing against Kahneman, but that brick is literally 500 pages of word vomit that could’ve been said in two paragraphs

So @UNECE blocked FSD because they fear that people becoming too complacent or over-reliant on it. If you follow this logic, I’m just glad that UNECE wasn’t there when the first cars were invented. Otherwise we would still be riding horses. Because what happened. People went with progress and innovation learned how to handle cars and most of them don’t even know how to ride a horse nowadays. Same with advanced systems like FSD. In the future you don’t need to know how to drive a car anymore. It’s progress, it’s innovation. Organizations like the @unece are the dead of innovation and progress hence why the European auto industry is now slowly dying. They were blocked to really innovate and try out new things and now the rest of the world has overtaken us. @EU_Commission just watching this slow decline of Europe’s industry. It’s just bizarre that UNECE knows that it’s a really advanced technology but still refuse to let people use it and learn to handle it. It can’t be that a few people with personal interests and opinions have the power to decide what the whole rest of Europe can and can’t do. I pay taxes, go to work and payed for my car and the drivers license. Yet this bureaucratic monster still has the audacity to tell me that I can’t use a certain technology in my vehicle because I might get used to it. Unbelievable and I hope that more and more people go against their doing in the future.

Chance is pretty high that this regulatory text will mean just nothing After 5 years of “hard” work, my ass Dinosaurs talking shit about cars and software/tech they never really took the chance to experience Congrats on writing 100 pages of thin air making software unusable and outright dangerous

Anti-white, anti-Indian, anti-Chinese or anti any race laws are not ok! That is just Apartheid with a new name.

More coming shortly! The team has been working very hard in the background. Entirely trained in simulation with RL. Many optimizations and fixes have been put in place in our sim-to-real training code. The cable is there in case of a fall (not actually holding the bot) since this is an early result which will get more stable very quickly.

Hört diesen alten, weisen Mann an! 🕊️☮️ ✊

This is the first time humans have been in orbit around the poles of Earth!

Ich lehne mich mal weit aus dem Fenster: In einem Tesla Model Y aus Grünheide steckt mehr Europa als in einem VW, der „Made in Germany“ draufstehen hat. 92% der Teile-Zulieferer sitzen in Europa 🇪🇺! Beispiele: Bremse aus Tschechien, Lenkgetriebe aus Deutschland! Weiter so! 🚀
