@wholemars @taligrade007 This!! Unexpectedly huge part of the equation I didn’t really consider before getting my EV. Turns out the time savings not going to/from a gas station is substantial.

@taligrade007 It doesn’t really matter. you just charge it while you sleep every night and never have to go to the gas station. You are actually wasting more time going to the gas station than you would ever waste charging

Tesla V4 Supercharging is pretty nice In 10 minutes, I was able to go from 2% to 36%, adding about 100 miles of range — enough to make it to my destination. And this is just 325 kW. Soon it will support up to 500 kW.

Now that the budget bill has passed Congress, we can see what the projections look like for deficits, government debt, and debt service expenses. In brief, the bill is expected to lead to spending of about $7 trillion a year with inflows of about $5 trillion a year, so the debt, which is now about 6x of the money taken in, 100 percent of GDP, and about $230,000 per American family, will rise over ten years to about 7.5x the money taken in, 130 percent of GDP, and $425,000 per family. That will increase interest and principal payments on the debt from about $10 trillion ($1 trillion in interest, $9 trillion in principal) to about $18 trillion (of which $2 trillion is interest payments), which will lead to either a big squeezing out (and cutting off) of spending and/or unimaginable tax increases, or a lot of printing and devaluing of money and pushing interest rates to unattractively low levels. This printing and devaluing is not good for those holding bonds as a storehold of wealth, and what’s bad for bonds and US credit markets is bad for everyone because the US Treasury market is the backbone of all capital markets, which are the backbones of our economic and social conditions. Unless this path is soon rectified to bring the budget deficit from roughly 7% of GDP to about 3% by making adjustments to spending, taxes, and interest rates, big, painful disruptions will likely occur.

@elonmusk It’s fun to experience, but until @Tesla is willing to take full liability/responsibility for all mistakes made while driving (like a cab driver would) then it’s not really ready for me to pay for.

For the first time, there will soon be a generalized, pure AI solution to full self-driving. Just cameras and the Tesla AI chip with Tesla AI software.

@Tis1LeClerc @nmlinguaphile @PalmerLuckey No, it’s the Gates Foundation…

@nmlinguaphile @PalmerLuckey Gates foundation Is this USAID?

What will happen in broader academia when clear scientific consensus is that AI-assisted education delivers better outcomes than 3.8M teachers currently do?

@ryanels Only policy of his I approve!

Now he has gone too far 😳

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! It was back when Twitter was not a hot garbage wasteland! #MyTwitterAnniversary

Vaccine hesitancy, which was much higher among Republican voters than Democrats during COVID, led to disproportionate deaths among conservatives, and may have cost them the mid-term elections in close races. politicalwire.com/2022/11/14/cov…

@maybe_robots @profgalloway We need to align schools and students’ interests. Perhaps required loan repayment should be capped at a percentage (e.g., 5-10%) of the recipient’s income over 10-15 years, and if that’s not sufficient to pay it off, then the student is no longer responsible for the debt.

@profgalloway Let's start hashing out proposals to reduce the cost of education. Then find a Congress willing to implement them.

Sad truth about student loan relief; it leads to increased tuition,,,and more debt.

@JoeVidulich The GOP: “Hold my beer”

@EFillerCorn @GovernorVA Sic semper tyrannis indeed…please stand strong against that horrible man.

Virginia is now a sanctuary state for women in Kentucky and throughout the south who need safe, legal access to abortion — but @GovernorVA wants to go “on offense” here. We will not go back.

@GovernorVA Don’t tell us what we want and then proceed to tell us how you’re planning to opportunistically impose your misguided religious views upon us.

@MarkWarner Nice work team!

@ryan_kasak @DaveLeeFT @elonmusk @vijaya Mobs on both sides…social media is ripping us apart. It’s part of the algorithm to sow discord and fuel (negative) emotion.

Moments after @elonmusk publicly criticised the work of Twitter policy exec @vijaya, her mentions are full of hateful tweets. Is this how he plans to run the company?

@greg16676935420 @elonmusk “Greg is a wesome” ??

@elonmusk Anyone else notice this?

🚀💫♥️ Yesss!!! ♥️💫🚀

@elonmusk Wow…can I be on the new board?

@AaronParnas Sunk cost fallacy…99%+ of people haven’t spent a significant portion of their lives here trying to amass followers. Better to not put all your eggs in one basket and be prepared to move on if the platform devolves into even more of a mess.

@weijia Ha! So true…I guess this is the “new normal” 🤧
