Exactly! people have done hovercrafts and quadrocopters too, big deal. we already know you need 500wh/kg plus to have any kind of sustained flight. so this will be a parlor trick.

My main suspicion is that this is done to prop up SpaceX stock till the next big unlocks are done and eventually it gets included in major indexes. after that its Adios Suckers!

In any case they should first deliver on tesla semi than keep jumping onto these gimmick low volume products.

will that include other FB services like whatsapp and Insta? Given how unethical FB is it highly likely they will try to ban those services too in hope for stirring discontent.

> .. 8% of the population is uninsured. .. this is Bogus, one of the first argument hospitals make for inflated pricing is that they have to cover the cost of uninsured. if the uninsured doesnt exist then the whole line of BS argument falls.

yup I am dead certain that they realized the whole 'our AI is too dangerous' punchline is too played out and they needed something that makes actual splash. Also this incident would serve as a foundation to ban open-weight models because 'with great power comes great responsibility' or some other BS like that. because after all, unwashed masses cannot be expected to be 'responsible' with top of the line intelligence.

I expect these type of hacks to continue till they IPO. after that real public company liability will start taking over.

even before that, by some accounts I hear the reason VCs over invested in dot com was primarily because they saw something that could not easily usurped by Microsoft by releasing their own sh*tty copy. so they all piled in and then bubble dynamics took over.

story as old as internet itself!

I know people flip out when they hear the word crypto but this is exactly why you need blockchain. immutable land registry thats public(anonymized).

problem with solar is that in itself it is great, but here in US if you look at the cost per watt produced it is heavily inflated with permitting and marketing costs. which is basically their margins till it becomes barely profitable to you. otherwise most of solar system cost has been fallen quite a bit for last decade plus.

dont believe me, look up how much a open loop DIY system costs.

let me put it this way .. it will come before the wallet gives out! (for masses)

I am seriously thinking about adapting Kate with a fully opensource ai harness. it should be good enough for mac and linux for most devs. it already supports lsp server & has a established plugin infra so it should not really be any blockers. anybody wanna collab?

this class of spyware pretending to be ide makes me sick.

I actually think Chinese models have already popped the bubble, we just dont see it yet. the only way to justify AI IPO market cap is basically if they get to hold most sw industry code hostage and then token-flate budgets to collect AI tax. short of that AI expense would very quickly mean revert to model + some margin. this means the moat for AI 'trillion club' is gone. In fact AI virtually guarantees that there is no execution-moat left anywhere, definitely not in code or that engineer with knowledge about that obscure mechanism. without the moat most of the sw ecossytem's margins would shrink (as they should).

Ironically enough the only moat left would be what you can buy from Washington.

this is the reason I refuse to budge from my index portfolio besides small 'play money' ventures. My investing philosophy is basically by the time it hits wire you dont know what portion of it factored in. especially in age of AI and automation IMO alpha will vanish faster as anyone can code up eqv of a bloomberg terminal themselves. So all thats left is how do you manage downturns, when market heads down 30% but your handpicked stocks go down 60% you need to have enough wherewithal to hold through bad times. this is where true test of faith comes, I believe I would be cowardly and sell out at wrong time. So its best to just hold index and market sort the bloodbath out itself.

SSS works pretty well. IIRC somebody in bitcoin community started using this for storing private keys using 3/5 schema. they basically divide the secret keys into 5 parts out of which you only need 3 to recover original private key. IDK if there are any hardware wallets that actually support it yet though.

We need a 'Framework (as in laptop maker) for physical devices'. Basically most of this physical tech can be relatively easily recreated with current tech and 3D printing. In fact probably better done with electric motors and batteries. There is definitly a moat there to be disrupted.

they also need to strike down the state laws restricting collection of rainwater on you own property.
