What seems different here is that rather than funneling profits up to the non-profit, the intent seems to be to make payouts to fellow board members and employees:

> Only a minority of board members are allowed to hold financial stakes in the partnership at one time. Furthermore, only board members without such stakes can vote on decisions where the interests of limited partners and OpenAI Nonprofit’s mission may conflict—including any decisions about making payouts to investors and employees. [1]

IANAL, but has anyone seen this sort of arrangement before?

  * Critical: Safety Issue (Avoid accident, taking red light, unsafe action)
  * Non-Critical: Non-Safety Issue (Wrong lane, driver courtesy, merge issue)

Looking at the original data sources [1], FSD seems to be improving over time at the metric that matters most:

  * City miles per CDE have gone from ~50 to ~120. 
  * % of drives over 5 miles with no CDE have gone from 72% to 93%.

Personally I have it, I don't find it enjoyable to use -- but I also don't feel unsafe when using it. Highway autopilot on the other hand I find immensely reliable and valuable.

  1. The functionality must be enabled within the FSD Beta Profile settings; and

  2. The vehicle must be approaching an all-way stop intersection; and

  3. The vehicle must be traveling below 5.6mph; and

  4. No relevant moving cars are detected near the intersection; and

  5. No relevant pedestrians or bicyclists are detected near the intersection; and

  6. There is sufficient visibility for the vehicle while approaching the intersection; and

  7. All roads entering the intersection have a speed limit of 30 mph or less.

  If all the above conditions are met, only then will the vehicle travel through the all-way-stop intersection at a speed from 0.1 mph up to 5.6 mph without first coming to a complete stop. If any of the above conditions are not met, the functionality will not activate and the vehicle will come to a complete stop

> With a growing number of Tesla cars on the road, a Wall Connector can pay for itself over time. Property managers will soon be able to set the price of charging sessions while Tesla handles payments automatically and securely – with no monthly fees. [1]

This is a model similar to what chargepoint offers, though I suspect it will have lower fees as their main goal is to sell more cars.

Starlink bid in the Above Baseline tier, meaning ≥ 100/20 Mbps (with data cap of ≥ 2 TB).

According to the FCC [1], 99.7% of locations are at that tier or higher, and 85%+ in the highest Gigabit (1000/500) tier.

So it looks like the auction funded gigabit where there was a provider bidding at that tier, and the rest went heavily to SpaceX.

One question I have is whether these gigabit deployments actually happen, or if Starlink will pick off legacy business so quickly (full launch nationwide next year) such that rural providers aren't able to take the subsidies and actually implement the new offerings.

One thing to add is that Starship should enable 400 satellites per launch:
