New video from SCTL Korea room temperature superconductor experimenters shows a very strong full levitation effect. Full levitation is evidence of the Meissner effect found only in superconductors. I have shown how the levitation evidence was originally partial levitation. Critics says partial levitation can be from diamagnetics or even some iron contamination. SCTL achieved full …
Venture Capital legends Brad Gerstner and Bill Gurley gave great insights about Tesla robotaxi and Uber ridesharing on the BG2 pod. Brad Gerstner founded the $10 billion Altimeter Capital fund. Bill is a general partner at Benchmark, a Silicon Valley venture capital firm in San Francisco, California. Gurley has led investments in and holds board …
Tesla revealed a lot about all of their existing and planned artificial intelligence related products and services in the Q1 2024 earnings call. Elon talked about offering FSD/robotaxi as a hybrid Airbnb and Uber model. Tesla will operating the fleet and the network. The enduser will be able to control their participation in the robotaxi …
Tesla is speeding up new car products and modifying current factories with aspects of the next generation unboxed factory processes. The partial updated factory processes will not enable the full full 50% cost reduction previously described for the unboxed process but could see 20-30% cost reductions. This would enable a smoother transition for vehicles volume …
Tesla has updated their future vehicle line-up to accelerate the launch of new models ahead of their previously communicated start of production in the second half of 2025. These new vehicles, including more affordable models, will utilize aspects of the next generation platform as well as aspects of the current platforms, and will be able …
Tesla has been investing in the hardware and software ecosystems necessary to achieve vehicle autonomy and a ride-hailing service. They believe a scalable and profitable autonomy business can be realized through a vision-only architecture with end-to-end neural networks, trained on billions of miles of real-world data. Tesla had over 35,000 H100 at the end of …
Ate-a-Pi has a weird claim that Mark Zuckerberg does not believe in AI compute scaling delivering better performance. There is also a claim about energy constraints for data centers and AI chips maximizing on performance per watt. Zuckerberg says that the exponential curves are still scaling. He says no ones how long that scaling continues. …
Future versions of Tesla FSD will likely merge with XAI Grok. While Elon Musk has expressed concerns about building too much of his new AI ideas into Tesla unless he has 25% voting control, the need to make a competitive AI will force Tesla FSD to work with XAI Grok. This can be structured in …
The Princeton Physics Lab has built a Stellarator nuclear fusion reactor prototype using permanent magnets. This is a scientific first that enables mostly off the shelf magnet for simple and low cost experiments to test new concepts for future fusion power plants. It does not generate net energy, but it has some nuclear processes and …
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says some suffering is good so people learn resilience. Resilience is the key for long term success. Do you agree with Jensen? There are of course alternative views like things implied by the fictional character Yoda.
Grok-1.5V is competitive with existing frontier multimodal models in a number of domains, ranging from multi-disciplinary reasoning to understanding documents, science diagrams, charts, screenshots, and photographs. Grok has capabilities in understanding our physical world. Grok outperforms its peers in our new RealWorldQA benchmark that measures real-world spatial understanding. For all datasets below, they evaluate Grok …
