It's like waiting for a GTA game to drop. 2025 could be a 20 months from now.

We just need to know when it will renew for the 2nd season. Silo, Severance, and Slow Horses are next level.

The mark for the end of the British empire was said to have happen when they lost control of the Suez canal. Iran is testing if this is the end of the U.S hegemony.

propercoil··on How to protect your career from a ChatGPT Future
I think that this is a naive take. Current AI capabilities like ChatGPT can be compared to Pascal and C. We will get the Python and Java equivalent when we abstract things with hyperparameters and scale up the number of params at some point.

propercoil··on Tesla PowerWall 2 Hack
So many people like to nitpick when it comes to Tesla, It reminds me of the Apple critics in the early days of the iphone. They assume Tesla should have the highest standard and be absolutely impeccable with all their products.

Just don't buy it if you don't like it. Let the rest of us enjoy a sustainable future with insanely safe full self-driving electric cars.

propercoil··on Tesla’s European gigafactory will be built in Berlin
What charging infrastructure? You would literally need two or three charging spots for the whole country.

I wouldn't say limiting the wheel's sharp turn when you need it to do a sharp turn is safe.

No one said that Europe is doing something that the U.S wouldn't do in return. Just stating the facts as they are.

no one said building Teslas in Israel... They don't sell here at all.
propercoil··on Tesla’s European gigafactory will be built in Berlin
I didn't miss it. It doesn't really mean they will be selling here any time soon as they only published one position for now.

He got hammered by us but unfortunately nothing from him referencing Israel. I don’t blame him, no one can filter all these tweets.

You’re right on both. Just as an added plus Tesla will have better tariffs to other countries while taking advantage of each of its hosting jurisdiction’s bilateral deals, so the impact is larger.

EU regulations prohibit the turning angle of the wheel unlike the U.S. You simply can’t navigate on autopilot in the same way. Also the EU makes money from the auto companies in their jurisdiction and they don’t want a U.S auto company competing with them. Now that Tesla opens a factory in Germany “massages” things.

The customs tax is in regards to countries/jurisdictions other than the ones with the Tesla factories. For instance a country like Israel might have a 20% tariff from Europe but 0% from China due to different bilateral deals so Tesla will send cars from there.

Israel is different than Dubai because literally a third of the population are in the tech space. Israel’s main export is tech and the tech ecosystem will build on-top of Tesla (Waze for example was founded here and there are many auto security startups for instance).

Our north snows every year and it gets really cold in the winter (the center of the country Jerusalem snows every other year too).

Also, Jordan next to us has Teslas and we have lower temperatures so it's not the climate.

They just put up one hiring position which is exciting but nevertheless, it's been 11 years since Tesla's inception so we are not holding our breath. Ordered a Tesla hat though! haha
propercoil··on Tesla’s European gigafactory will be built in Berlin
Way colder than in Nevada. And also they already have them in Jordan next to us so that's not the culprit.
