@tiagopita I disagree. That's like calling an iPhone just a utilitarian tool. There's a reason iPhones are the best even though they all look the same. Tesla's design, hardware and software carries that same level of technical and intentional thought that just works.
I’ve spent a few days thinking about the Tesla Roadster reveal and landed somewhere I haven’t seen much discussion. I’m neither a Tesla fanboy nor a Tesla hater. And I couldn’t care less whether what we saw technically qualifies as a flying car. Three takeaways: (1) The risk of that live demonstration going horribly wrong was real. Almost no CEO would willingly expose their company to that kind of public humiliation for a product with so little financial upside. Elon did. (2) That willingness to attempt the seemingly impossible is what makes Tesla special. It’s also arguably Elon’s greatest contribution to America. He’s helped bring back something we’ve lost. The American spirit of chasing big scary ideas that most people think are impossible. That mindset is spreading across a new generation of founders and its long term impact on America’s future could dwarf anything Tesla ever sells. I think this is deeply underappreciated. (3) Can we just acknowledge how insanely cool that moment was? We’ve reached a strange place culturally where even extraordinary feats of human ingenuity immediately become arguments about why they don’t count. Not everything needs to be a debate. Sometimes we should just be able to stand back together and marvel at what humans are capable of. I’ve been both bullish and critical of Tesla’s ambitions over the years. But watching Elon and his team push the boundaries of what’s possible reminds me why I’m glad we have him. Whether the Roadster ever makes Tesla a dollar or impacts $TSLA stock price is almost beside the point. We need more people willing to risk failure in pursuit of things the rest of us think are impossible. Because when they succeed we all win.
@paulg I think an underappreciated factor of Elon’s impact on the world is how he’s raised the level of ambition for so many founders and engineers. I wouldn’t be surprised if these second-order effects end up having an even greater impact on the world than his own businesses.
Less than 0.001% of Earth's population has ever experienced an autonomous vehicle without pedals and a steering wheel.
The future is here but not equally distributed.
This is what the average person reads about SpaceX.
It’s no wonder why many people think SpaceX is struggling when they are fed such misleading articles.
SpaceX is the most reliable and prolific space launch provider out there and you’d have no idea if you only read msm.
the uk government's official ai guidance tells civil servants to use gemini flash instead of pro, keep prompts short, and not say thank you to it, for the environment
i do wonder at which point we forked the road. instead of building and using it to automate the work, we write guidance on how to use less of it
we have the attitude of a high school prefect. caring more about the rules than actually doing the work
This is a lie.
Mothers nipples absorb the babies saliva, analyse it, and then change the next breast milk for that babies needs - this could be more water, could be less, could be more iron, magnesium, calcium, various vitamins, antibodies to fight viruses etc. This is why a mother craves weird food, her body is trying to constantly create the perfect milk for her child, 24/7.
This can NOT be achieved by a fake, simulated man taking drugs and forcing children to suck his nipples.
