I mean, we should be able to hate Elon Musk while still respect the fact that, SpaceX as a company has done incredible things.

You say NASA could’ve done it for cheaper, but their track record is not great. Apollo program, historical, but was very expensive. Then the Space Shuttle, then the SLS, they are all extremely expensive compared to, not just Falcon 9, but also Russia or China’s offerings.

I hate Musk but I am also passionate about space… So yeah, I don’t know how to process this. Maybe it’s fine for people to just believe SpaceX did nothing good as long as that gets more people to hate Musk… I really don’t know (help me)

Hi tired, I am dad.

Uhhh I will get downvoted but I have to say, anarchocapitalism is still anarchism. And obviously disrespecting property rights is a very anarchist thing to do, so.

And many AI models you can run completely on your own hardware, no billionaire oligarchies have a say in what you do.

Quite sad the amount of downvotes you are getting, it’s like the dem supporters haven’t learned their lesson yet…

70s and 80s were before my time so that could be why i am mistaken, but i kind of thought it would have been Japan?

Ce n’est pas un rocher

That’s… just not true? Current frontier AI models are actually surprisingly diverse, there are a dozen companies from America, Europe, and China releasing competitive models. Let alone the countless finetunes created by the community. And many of them you can run entirely on your own hardware so no one really has control over how they are used. (Not saying that that’s a good thing necessarily, just to point out Eno is wrong)

Tesla had camera+radar+sonar, and that wasn’t their own tech - they used mobileye EyeQ back then. When they switched to in house tech they gradually ditched the radar and sonar which made no sense to me. But at the time I saw their lead say in an interview that this is superior and I believed. not anymore.

they said doing so cut costs but obviously lidar/radar/sonar only gets cheaper over time, let alone the extra r&d costs because a vision only system is much more difficult to develop.

Shit, I don’t have any of those.

What? Don’t you see people flocking to TikTok? RedNote? And now deepseek?

I wonder if people who hate it are hating it after actually trying it, or they are just instinctually repulsed by the idea itself.

Depends on how much time/money you want to spend, and how much distrust you have for the various 3D printer companies.

Personally I built my own Voron from parts, (yes, I am bragging), and it was fun, would recommend.

How’s giving money going to help when it would take a million of me to counter a single billionaire?

Those who are against banning TikTok must be happy now? You’ve got President Trump on your side.

The problem is not the government got to choose - in a functioning democracy, the government would represent the will of the people.

The problem is this democracy is fucked.

XiaoHongShu was founded in 2013, Facebook was founded in 2004…

Your sense of time is a bit warped…

if you check out his twitter, seems to be your typical toxically masculine techbro… kinda disappointing

bluesky is federated and decentralised too… i don’t understand why people are having problems with it? maybe they just don’t know?

Sounds like not using Google search would be a way more effective way of reducing CO2
