Well all those graphs show is that the cost of batteries has gone down and that as a result electric cars contain more batteries and therefore more range. It doesn't actually show that the individual battery capacity has increased.

The third graph that indicates battery performance vs battery chemistry doesn't really show incremental improvement it just shows general improvement but there's plenty of battery chemistries that are worse than pre-existing ones.

I can't actually imagine his family are very pleased with him either. He used to have a respectable job as an academic and now he's become a racist mouthpiece. What a waste of an education.

According to my neighbour who owns a Tesla he had to take it to a Tesla dealership in order to replace one of the headlights because there are non-standard design. So even if he could get the part from Tesla the mechanic wouldn't have been able to change it because they wouldn't have the tools.

Yeah I'm sure they had absolutely no idea before. Because Peter Thiel such a trusted and reputable name, how could they possibly known that doing business with him would be negatively construed?

These people aren't early adopters. These people are doing the equivalent of putting a lump of uranium in a bucket, and calling it a nuclear reactor.

AI is our version of the demon core, and these idiots are dicking around with it with zero safety precautions.

Meanwhile the rest of us are just smart enough to not go in that room.

Cheap for the kind of hardware you need to run an AI.

It's Meta, her experience is probably an MBA and she did a side course in "computing" where they learnt how to use Excel.

In slight fairness to them the Mac mini isn't actually pretty decent PC, unlike their laptops which are absolutely not worth the money. Although maybe these days $400 for 16 gigabytes of RAM is actually market value.

You wouldn't even need to hide it since apparently she wasn't paying attention.

Yep that's about the level of intelligence I would expect from Meta's AI safety director.

Doing the one thing that you're never supposed to do, letting an AI loose on anything sensitive.

For her next trick she's going to run while holding scissors in one hand and a bottle of boiling acid in the other. What could go wrong.

Good I see Goodwin on TV far too much already. He a smug self satisfied git and he'll do his job just as well as Farage. No one should be voting for these snake oil salesmen even if they are a racist.

I don't understand this hate just because musk came out as a Nazi.

The cars were awful even before all of this, you should have already not been buying them. To get them repaired you have to take them to an authorised dealer which is basically just them, and they will charge you on obscene amount of money to replace the door handles or something, add onto that poor quality control and a prevalence to put everything behind a paywall and you've got a terrible value product on your hands.
