It looks like one of those slop a bunch of cooked stuff in a bowl with some spice and rice. It looks like it is about $2 cheaper than their competitors.
I always assume these demos are fake, but there is nothing impossible (or even "AI") to make this software work. It is essentially a voice recognition program with an algorithm that knows the likely paths these types are calls take and follows a loose script and adjusts based on the responses. It is more of an expert system. The voice synthesizer is good, because it doesn't need to form arbitrary sentences.
Exactly. Or it will be filled with students going to graduate school. After all, they have very little income. This is a common use of "affordable housing".
People aren't wandering the streets because they can't afford a $722k house! Even if the houses were $10k it wouldn't make any difference in homelessness.
240V is much more impressive than 7V. They did miss the opportunity to mention how the AI in the microcontroller tells the robot when to flap its wings though.
Publish or perish. Academia has been pushing these breathless hype press releases for quite a while now. It beats getting a real job and you might get some taxpayer funded DARPA grants out of it.
That was written in 1989. I am sure it is going to happen any time now though. After all these guys went to MIT and we all know how smart those people are.
The thing you are forgetting is that technology always progresses, so even though it can only "fly" for.25sec today, next week it will be.50sec, and by the end of the year 10sec, etc until it will fly for hours. This is similar to how the first computers had only a few bytes of memory, but now my wristwatch has a couple of gigabytes. Technological progress is inevitable.
More Tesla distraction from the fact that they are shutting down their Model 3 line, putting their factory up as collateral for their credit line and the stock is collapsing.
I said "excellent". No company would let an employee like that go. There would be no point. The problem with you people is you think everyone is "excellent".
Those weren't "excellent" employees. They worked at CompUSA and Circuit City. An excellent salesperson wouldn't work at a company where the max is around $70k.
If you are an excellent employee you can work as long as you want at a company, as long as that company is in business. A company would never fire an excellent employee. They are way too hard to find.
Big deal. I am STILL screaming that computer networks aren't secure, and never were meant to be, and I get modded down to oblivion. This is even though computer networks AREN'T secure and are meant for sharing information between all nodes, not secure transfer of information between selected nodes.
Not sure what you are talking about. Our computer innards aren't from China and neither are our smartphones or batteries. You must be thinking of Korea or the US.
"Trolls" is the new word for someone "saying things I don't agree with". Tesla IS collapsing. You can check ANY of my claims in my post above yourself. Executives are leaving. The put their factory up as collateral last week on their credit line (even though Musk said he doesn't want to go back to the credit markets). His arrogance on his conference call (which he apologized about) was very Enron like. Sorry you guys are so enamored with Tesla, but Nissan is doing a much better job producing an affordable electric car.
The whole company is collapsing. Stock is plummeting, execs are leaving, they had to put their factory up as collateral for their credit line, Musk is reorganizing the entire thing. The shorts are making money though.

The cause of homelessness has nothing to do with the cost of housing.
Where do I send my money?

Nope. That was the LAST shutdown. This is a new one: https://seekingalpha.com/news/...

No it isn't. That is what YOU might think excellence is.

I spend all day posting to slashdot from my parents basement.

That "something else" is Tesla producing the more expensive options first in order to increase margins. There are production problems as well.
Not sure what you are talking about. Our computer innards aren't from China and neither are our smartphones or batteries. You must be thinking of Korea or the US.
Yeah right. The $35k is not available. Model 3s right now are $55K. The Nissal Leaf is $30k, actually availble. More Tesla lies.

No it isn't. Tesla is building playthings for the 1%. Other companies are building affordable electric vehicles.
Exactly. Musk has been putting in a very Enron like performance lately as well. The parallels are very compelling.
