@TeslaTim2 @brandenflasch As I understand it, the Iran War severely curtailed OPEC’s pricing power and now they’re losing members - the UAE left in May.

@FutureAZA @ConnectingODots @Tesla_AI Any door really

[Sith Dharmasiri @hasithad]

@FutureAZA @ConnectingODots @Tesla_AI FWIW, it doesn’t have to be limited to Uber at all. Any rear door opening indicates someone decided it was safe to enter/exit the car. You can just build a giant heatmap of those events, and then limit by proximity to public street.

@fredsoda The hype curve is going to come down, but just like the internet, there will be demand shaping and new markets, not loss of TAM.

Very few people will want to automate coding, that part’s right. But I contest that there won’t be TAM. Just different TAM than what is there today.

[Sith Dharmasiri @hasithad]

@FutureAZA Safe travels!

@FutureAZA @VisualCap It’s hard (impossible?) to find more value per dollar spent in any car other than a Tesla.

[Sith Dharmasiri @hasithad]

I loved how little I cared about this. Foundation models are a commodity. The true differentiated value lies elsewhere.

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

We’re ending our partnership with Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX. Under our proposal, Cursor’s direct access to our models would end on November 12.

We know that the people most affected by this decision are the developers who rely on OpenAI models in Cursor. We care about their experience in this transition and we’re ready to go above and beyond to support them.

@FutureAZA On a different note, the thing I found most interesting is how much concentration (and potentially concentration risk) certain states have.

[Sith Dharmasiri @hasithad]

This is seriously cool stuff that is happening every day at the office.

[Quincy Lee @QuincyEdmundLee]

We're hiring for an embedded software engineer right now to work on this problem

RetailEdge will have best in class EV charger reliability

Owning the low level analog and digital comms between charger and EV gives us a clear path to 99.9% reliability

We have a long interoperability campaign ahead of us, but now have the direct control to make it happen

@neon_voix @Mcclainseanm @FutureAZA @FutureAZA FWIW, I do think they should have made Elon’s criteria more difficult. $8.5 trillion for a 3-year rolling average at least, so that he’s rewarded for building a foundation of value, not just capitalizing his hype. He does both but should be rewarded for the former

[Sith Dharmasiri @hasithad]

@neon_voix @Mcclainseanm @FutureAZA @neon_voix Elon’s job is to be a value multiplier for everyone that works for him. The line tech at Tesla gets a performance-based stock award too, valued at that worker’s ability to be a force multiplier. Unsurprisingly, that value is smaller.

@DaylightDis1776 @middle_class_us For what it’s worth, at least 40% of owner-occupied houses are mortgage free

[Sith Dharmasiri @hasithad]

@SuckerCarlson @FutureAZA My guess is Florida, California usually involves a dogleg maneuver for the high inclination orbits that might make capturing this a bit more difficult

[Sith Dharmasiri @hasithad]

@UnrealizedPains @grok @CENTCOM I mean, it’s technically true. Is CENTCOM spinning the truth to imply something less serious than it is? Yes. We all gotta get good reading between the lines.

@lemarqlet @qc_cin @compliantvc Unhinged mode

@jcm10x1 In an industry where it’s so easy to just have the product be 90% reliable, it’s awesome to see folks chasing the last and hardest 10%

[Sith Dharmasiri @hasithad]

Today, we published our whitepaper on how we structured HaloAI, the AI assistant built into our EV charging kiosks, to be trustworthy at a public kiosk.

The short version: Bad AI is easy, and good AI is hard. We want good AI.

The long version 👇

The grid needs support everywhere

Today, we're announcing CoPower— our expansion into data center power infrastructure.

@iquilezles @straceX I’m legitimately just curious, why do you prefer this over RAII?
