In CA mail-in ballots are accepted as long as they’re postmarked by Election Day, so it can take many days past Election Day to count them accurately, legally, and fairly, as there are so many of them (CA is the most populous state in the union and LA is the second most populous city). Mail in ballots lean heavily democratic since most conservative voters vote in person. So, doing the math, if hundreds of thousands of exclusively mail-in ballots are left to count, and with just a 7500 vote difference between 2nd place Pratt & 3rd place Raman: Raman will likely move up to second place within a day if not sooner, if you understand elementary math. This is logical, expected, and not the least bit surprising. Both Dems and GOP want faster election results in California - this is fact. What is not fact is right wing consipracy theories of widespread voter fraud in CA, or the country of that matter (there is zero evidence of this)
Very exciting that filmmakers/artists/creators have a chance at XPrize. Already finished my 3 minute trailer and am polishing/iterating till the deadline. As a lifelong Star Trek fan my excitement for this project is through the roof. Can’t wait to share my submission and see what others have done, and be part of the community. This is important.
Points for engagement bait. Anyway curious if Tesla will continie to differentiate HW4 UI from HW3 - especially in terms of realtime 3D rendering (something HW3 obvi can barely handle). HW4 already has a higher frame rate FSD visualization, but would love to see the real time photoreal OpenGL on the 3D interactive splash screen extend to the FSD visualization with things like photoreal vehicles/people/road signs etc. not to mention an overhauled 3D rendered UI with GL accelerated depth, shading, transparency, subtly 3D buttons etc, instead of the current (and boring) vector/image based UI.
This is going to sell way more than the previous white interior. I have a few friends who still worry about sitting on my pristine bright white seats fearing they’d get them dirty just by wearing jeans. I know it’s irrational, but that’s the reality. Now, more new buyers will have less concern with this perceptively more forgiving interior and will more likely buy the upsell.
@SawyerMerritt Looks amazing. As much as I love my white interior, this *almost* white should show less color transfer & dirt between cleanings, but is still striking. Will likely get more orders due to the light gray color not being as bright and worrying first timers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sneak peek at my latest project - "The Prize". I'm competing for $3.5M to make a film about the future of humanity. If you've ever wanted to do something like this, come join me. #futurevisionxprize
My latest Gen AI short: The story of a robot not allowed to experience humanity. Until one day, it does.
This film demonstrates how using human creativity first, and technology tools second, to hopefully create a story grounded in emotion and performance.
Gerry McGovern was responsible for the highly praised Land Rover redesign, whose ’modern minimalism’ redefined the brand and made it a global leader in the luxury SUV space. Also the Jaguar Type 00 was overseen by Massimo Frascella, who left JLR right after to become Audi’s new design chief. In fact, Audi’s new design language (previewed by the Concept C) has many obvious similarities to the Jaguar Type 00. So assigning the usual anti-woke bs on this JLR employee shuffle is irrelevant and boring. FYI the production version of the Type 00 is still on track for a ‘26 reveal and ‘27 production
