Vinod Khosla starts with a 30,000 foot view of this critical point in history, and how it differs from previous technological phase changes. With his 40-year history sponsoring technological disruption, he will discuss the origins of change and innovation, and lay out his predictions for how AI will upend every sector of GDP, and how …
In the first quarter, Tesla produced over 433,000 vehicles and delivered approximately 387,000 vehicles. They deployed 4,053 MWh of energy storage products in Q1, the highest quarterly deployment yet. The delivery numbers were bad for Tesla in Q1. There were fires in Berlin from ecoterrorists and delays in the supply chain because of Persian Gulf …
Elon Musk has targeted an orbital launch cost of $10/kg for Starship, with propellant costs accounting for roughly one-third. Orbital launch cost would be about four times more than the cost of point to point on Earth rocket delivery. Point to point rocket delivery would only need the Starship upper stage. There are only six …
Investigation of the zero resistance and temperature-dependent superconductivity phase transition in Pb-Cu-P-S-O compound by Huk Geol Kim, Dae Cheol Jeong and Hyun-Tak Kim. Hyun-Tak Kim is one of the lead researchers for the LK99 team. This new paper presents a specific critical temperature for PCPOSOS, demonstrating consistency with the original authors’ data. In this study, …
Longtime Tesla FSD tester, Chuck Cook, provided a video of his first drives Tesla FSD 3.3 Supervised. He had no interventions. The one drive he had would have been good enough to have been a backseat robotaxi ride. However, Chuck is not ready to sit in the back seat with Tesla FSD as he knows …
If Tesla achieves fully operational FSD with robotaxi capability (before robotaxi regulatory approval) will be like dragons in Game of Thrones. Other carmakers will have no choice but to license it. This will be one of several huge catalysts for Tesla valuation (not financial advice.) Here are the developments that should positively impact Tesla valuation. …
Motional, a global leader in driverless technology, and Hyundai Motor Group launched IONIQ 5-based robotaxi Motional’s next-generation robotaxi. They added LIDAR and other sensors to all-electric Hyundai IONIQ 5. The IONIQ 5 robotaxi is an SAE Level 4 autonomous vehicle that can safely operate without a driver. It’s a zero tailpipe-emissions robotaxi and represents the …
Elon says Grok 2 should exceed current AI on all metrics. Grok 2 is in training now. Should be available on 𝕏 next week. Grok 2 should exceed current AI on all metrics. In training now. https://t.co/s7rVxvK8mZ — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 29, 2024 Here are the specs for Claude 3 from Anthropic and GPT4 …
Japanese researchers have used a single-mode microwave generator to produce their metal plasmas. This creates more controlled and highly focused microwaves. Hot gases composed of metal ions and electrons, called plasmas, are widely used in many manufacturing processes, chemical synthesis, and metal extraction from ores and welding. A collaborative research group from Tohoku University and …
Nvidia and other AI related companies have had a surge in profits and share prices. Are we in an AI Bubble or the early stages of the AI transformation? My video has a broader perspective on this. Below is a start at looking at the current details. There is additional information from the Stanford AI …
BitNet is paving the way for a new era of 1-bit Large Language Models (LLMs). In this work, we introduce a 1-bit LLM variant, namely BitNet b1.58, in which every single parameter (or weight) of the LLM is ternary {-1, 0, 1}. It matches the full-precision (i.e., FP16 or BF16) Transformer LLM with the same …
