  1. Re:My perspective as a stock holder. on Tesla To Close a Dozen Solar Facilities In 9 States (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    SolarCity was a separate company. Why would this have anything to with "restructuring" Tesla? This whole thing was orchestrated to transfer the SolarCity debt to Tesla, providing an out for the SolarCity investors. This is the same strategy that they will use for SpaceX and the Boring Company. Why do you think Elon starts so many companies? It is a house of cards, and it will fall soon.

    Yes, but we aren't talking about me.

  3. How is your Tesla stock doing? Pretty good? Heard there was another fire today that burned the tent. Sounds like a saboteur.

    The article is ridiculous. Any manager knows who the good employees are already - they are using this as a tool to justify the action. The fact is if you are getting consistently low scores compared to others at the same location there is an issue. Even in white collar jobs there are places where your coworkers can give anonymous feedback during your review. People hate it. I know I do, because I always get low scores (probably because I am so awesome and they are all jealous, not because I post on slashdot all day).

    You aren't forced to provide survey information. One bad rating doesn't affect a waiter. If you read the article the waiters were complaining because their managers decided to cut their hours because they were getting consistently bad ratings.

    What is "grep"? Is it a deep learning neural net?

    This is amazing stuff. AI really is a game changer, before it we just had algorithms and programs. Pretty soon we will wonder how we ever lived without AI!

    Imagine if every rice grain could monitor itself when it is being cooked and adjust the temperature of the pot accordingly. You would end up with perfectly cooked rice. If we could capture even a small percentage of the Chinese market for this we would have a Unicorn.

  12. Yes, that is a better idea. That way you are only sacrificing unintelligent animals if something goes wrong. I'll cancel the monkey and dog I ordered from Amazon.

  13. The difference is I am also starting another company that will use blimps to transport people around. We are going to do test trials in LA and offer rides for a $1.

  14. I sincerely doubt a government or corporation would use technology to covertly spy on innocent people.

    Stop trolling. We all know that computer enabled rice is the way forward.

  16. Impossible. Until these tech moguls started their rocket companies, sub orbital flight and doing things like launching satellites into LEO was not within human reach. That is why there is such excitement around SpaceX and Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic. All run by visionaries who are pushing the envelope for humanity.

  17. Truly amazing! However it remains to be seen if a human can survive at 100km above the Earth. I would recommend sending an animal up first (like maybe a dog or monkey?)

    If you are interested in analog computers there is a lot of interesting Youtube videos on that subject. At one point the USSR did a lot of interesting research in that field.

  19. There are some challenges. We basically would have to invent new ways of approaching circuit design that would be equally low power but could also tolerate light. For example, that means exchanging diodes, which can act like tiny solar cells, for switched capacitors. Another challenge is achieving high accuracy while running on low power, which makes many of the usual electrical signals (like charge, current and voltage) noisier. However we will overcome these challenges, given enough funding.

  20. I would use small LEDs for light generation.

    If it can perform a computation then it is a computer.

    No, but it is useful anyway. This is from the website:

    What good is a tiny computer? Applications of the Michigan Micro Mote:

    Pressure sensing inside the eye for glaucoma diagnosis
    Cancer studies
    Oil reservoir monitoring
    Biochemical process monitoring
    Surveillance: audio and visual
    Tiny snail studies

    This opens up a whole new world in the field of conchology.
