@awkwardgoogle I’ve noticed that Raven‘s like to hang out on mountain tops. I’ve never seen so many Ravens as I did on Mount Mansfield’s Summit in Vermont, but I’ve seen few in the Sierra Nevada, where the peaks belong to the Marmots

Platonic and Archimedean polyhedra, the five regular solids and their semi-regular counterparts.

At the top are the five Platonic solids: tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. Every face is an identical regular polygon and the same number of faces meet at each vertex.

Below are the fifteen Archimedean polyhedra. They keep all vertices identical but allow two or more types of regular polygonal faces, including both left- and right-handed versions of the snub cube and snub dodecahedron.

These shapes turn up throughout the natural and built world, from virus capsids and buckyball molecules to geodesic domes, soccer balls, and efficient structural designs in architecture and materials science.

All these polyhedra can be ‘unfolded’ into 2-D patterns by cutting a subset of the dihedrals and flattening the rest. Adding tabs to one edge of each pair created by the cut dihedrals enables the reconstruction of the original polyhedron from the pattern

I once made 19 of the 20 solids here from such patterns, and painted the faces (to distinguish the different polygons types in truncated and snub solids) The most challenging part of assembly was the final face, whose tabs needed tucking under adjacent faces and cementing

@Brand0n RR’s wheel is a faithful copy of Tesla’s, with ridges suggesting traditional thin spokes added to the 7 arms. The end of S & X production is the perfect time for RR’s Spectre update with design homages to Model S

I think you’re projecting a poorer demographic onto Tesla owners, who’s financial wherewithal tends to a higher strata than the price of Teslas -even as of few years ago- would suggest. Have you noticed how Tesla owners like to upgrade to the lightest and greatest?

This would fit a bumper sticker:
+——————————-+
| NO GUARANTEE OF |
| FSD TRANSFERS |
+———————-—-—-+
The message could help HW3 FSD owners pay attention and be more inclined to jump on a transfer offer when announced, advancing OLT’s objectives and helping Tesla’s bottom line

@muskonomy @Tesla I don’t know about self driving, but KIAs are definitely self stealing, at least according to the governments of Milwaukee, Seattle, New York City, Cleveland, San Diego, Chicago, Baltimore, Maryland, & St. Louis

To recap differences -planes in 1960 vs cars today- in my analogy:
-4+ orders of magnitude more cars
-10X ICE complexity in planes
-Range hit in cars, less in planes
-No propaganda war against jets
-Planes purchased by carriers, not consumers

My analogy, flawed as it may be, was motivated in part by learning of the travails of the Constellation’s flight engineer — the guy who sat in front of the panel with four columns of dials, one for each of te ever-so temperamental fire-prone R-3350s (the same engine that downed most of the B-29’s lost in the Pacific Theatre in WWII) — described in this video:

The prop quads had ranges similar to and slightly longer than the jets that replaced them. The following ranges are in nautical miles, and are for the original variants of the 707 and DC-8 jetliners

• Boeing 707: 3,000–3,750
• Douglas DC-8: 3,760–4,050

• Boeing 377: ~3,100–3,650
• Lockheed L-1049: ~4,480–5,370
• Douglas DC-6: ~3,983–4,317
• Douglas DC-7: ~4,900+

Yes, that’s implied by unsupervised. Its rollout will be interesting to watch with all the changes in Insurance etc. Tesla’s FSD subscriptions are already a 1.5B business. I expect far more interest from unsupervised, especially if it allows owners to drop or reduce their insurance cost

[Model Y Maniac 🇺🇸 @ModelYManiac]

I’ll pass on explaining for the third time why I expect the vast majority of HW3 FSD owners to upgrade and transfer. Yes there’s a price to upgrade, but that won’t foreclose the option for most such owners (who were able to afford a Tesla +FSD 2+ years ago when prices were higher) —especially when FSD goes unsupervised, making new Teslas ride-revenue-ready

Basically, the whole US airline industry was served by radial recip’ engines through the 1950s, then precipitously switched to jet proportion

We’re talking about an entire industry in both cases. Yes the prop-liners of the 1950s were far fewer in number (~500 and ~1500 in 1950 and 1958) than the fossil cars filling today’s roads, but the R3350 and R4360 had far more cylinders -18 and 27- and brutal duty cycles

The relative fleet sizes of the two transport industries is beside the point: The mechanical & thermal complexity and concomitant maintenance costs made ICE uncompetitive with the propulsion technology that replaced it —jet in the case of airlines, and battery-electric in the case of cars

The transition happened overnight in air travel, where cost and customer experience made the choice obvious to airline executives in charge of buying aircraft

The transition is underway in terrestrial travel, were there will be a long tail of fossil vehicles as a function of the choice being in the hands of consumers, many of whom are influenced by anti-Tesla propaganda and fall for the #GreatValueDeception

Show me where Elon said that HW3 was up to the task of unsupervised. Elon‘s story before his recent clarification at the earnings call was that Tesla was hoping it could squeeze that functionality out of HW3, but it remained to be determined

Again I don’t understand your final sentence. Why would anyone have to hope that Tesla will honor FSD transfers?

[Model Y Maniac 🇺🇸 @ModelYManiac]

The transition of propulsion from piston & propeller to jet (& fan) was particularly precipitous in passenger transport, where carriers ordered the B707 and DC8 the moment they became available (~1958) and retired their DC6, L1011 and B377 (72 & 123 cylinder operating & maintenance nightmares) ASAP (>1960)
