This is insane. Predictive markets should already be illegal in the first place but to allow things like this is just insane
Re:Park by Robot at London Gatwick Airport on Sunday July 26, 2026 @01:29PM (#49060292)
Yeah, in theory, but this assumes a linear demand curve, whereas there may be periods where lots of people come to park at the same time.

Most airport parking lots have thousands of spots so you’d need a lot

Re:Park by Robot at London Gatwick Airport on Sunday July 26, 2026 @11:24AM (#49059067)
That is pretty good pricing. I’m surprised. I wonder if this is just introductory pricing. It seems like there’s not much throughput for something like this. I can’t see how this could handle a constant stream of people wanting to park their cars.

It’s despicable that the US attacked this ship and left the survivors to drown. We are not the good guys.

You forgot to mention they solved vision based autonomous driving, but I guess that doesn’t matter if Elon = bad

That Lutnik is always sooooo lucky. He didn’t go to the twin towers on 9/11 cause he finally took his kid to kindergarten.

Always seems to be in the right place and the right time

Re:Software Engineering Is Back on Saturday February 07, 2026 @09:03AM (#46923973)
I feel the same way, but I’m not a traditional software engineer. Just an old-school Webmaster who’s been trying to keep up with things, but I’ve had to hire developers all along.

I’m an idea’s guy, and in the past month or so my eyes have also fully opened to what’s coming.

But there’s a big caveat. While the actual grunt work and development is going away, there’s no telling when the software engineering part is going to go away as well. Even the ideas guy part. What happens when a simple prompt from someone who doesn’t even know what they’re doing results in an app that you couldn’t have done as well with whatever software engineering skills you have?

What’s silly is a bunch of so-called intelligent entrepreneurs and tech insiders twisting themselves into a pretzel coming up with reasons why this or that won’t work, by the guy who keeps doing the impossible

Oh no! He promised my car would be self driving in 2018 but it took until 2026 before that was true.

How dare he not have accurately predicted when one of the hardest technical problems in history is solved?

Not for long

It’s scary how ignorant the hackernews crowd is when it comes to Tesla. I realize it’s due to Elon hate, but it’s very eye opening
Re:Tesla ending Models S and X production on Wednesday January 28, 2026 @11:35PM (#46805854)
Huh, so you’re telling me my car isn’t really driving me everywhere? I love how ill-informed most people here are. Makes me way more bullish on the stock
Re:Tesla ending Models S and X production on Wednesday January 28, 2026 @11:31PM (#46805834)
The Elon hate is really creating a blind spot for many people here.

You can’t just compare Tesla to a meme stock when the founder’s side gig is launching and landing orbital rockets - a feat that even the most technologically advanced nation states have failed to accomplish.

Come on people, use a little critical thinking skills.

Users showed that Gemini and openAI also undress people, it’s not just grok.
Waymo has not solved generalized autonomy. They need training wheels and HD maps for every city they expand into. You can't just put a Waymo into any city and expect it to drive autonomously.
Re:Tesla publishes analyst forecasts suggesting sales set to fall on Wednesday December 31, 2025 @02:32PM (#46447458)
I don’t think you realize that Tesla has basically solved autonomy. you are obviously not using the latest Tesla version of FSD
Re:Tesla publishes analyst forecasts suggesting sales set to fall on Wednesday December 31, 2025 @02:30PM (#46447437)
Solving autonomy is the hardest technical challenge right now, way harder than creating a frontier LLM AI. Tesla has basically solved it. So to argue sarcastically about Tesla is in my opinion being ignorant. I get the Elon hate, but he is usually correct in his predictions, albeit late

Re:6B Miles Driven on Sunday November 16, 2025 @11:59AM (#45946524)
So Nazis are close friends of Jews and Israel in your definition, got it.
Re:6B Miles Driven on Saturday November 15, 2025 @01:20PM (#45939401)
Maybe we don’t have the same definition of what a nazi is, because Tommy Robinson is a huge Israeli schill, Elon musk is friends with Netanyahu, Jared kushner, and many other Zionists.
Re:6B Miles Driven on Saturday November 15, 2025 @10:53AM (#45938219)
You realize that almost every politician has done a similar type of pose right? So if there’s a picture or a video of your favorite politician doing that pose you’re automatically going to assume they are Nazi?

Just a minimal knowledge of Musk‘s ties to Israel, and friendships with Netanyahu, Jared Kushner, and others you should realize that there’s no way he’s a Nazi or antisemitic. If anything, he is highly racist against Muslims.

Re:6B Miles Driven on Saturday November 15, 2025 @10:52AM (#45938205)
True, we need to see the details of how they compute all this data. I do remember reading that they include crash data up to like a minute after FSD has been disengaged so these types of crashes should be included.

Nevertheless, the latest version of FSD I can certainly believe is seven times less likely to get into an accident than the average driver. I experienced it daily.

Re:Space Elevator on Monday October 20, 2025 @07:39AM (#45642770)
The US throws the biggest hissy fit AND is the biggest hypocrite about it as well.
There’s always one side that is lying, gaslighting, and deceiving. I’m surprised more people still can’t see what’s going on
So he does nazi salutes and is totally buddy buddy with Netanyahu. Ok
Didn’t the founder of Minecraft make over $1 billion and from what I remember, he was a solo developer.

Also, the founder of plenty of fish was a solo founder and I’m pretty sure that site was worth close to $1 billion at some point

Exactly. We are dealing with demons, anyone who thinks they’re actually changing is delusional
