Correct. We have hit that wall. And that means a lot of things aren't going to come true that people were depending on. People were spoiled by digital computing and think that progress is inevitable. My point is that is isn't.
No. Moore's Law is dead. Some pedant always crawls out of the woodwork and starts talking about "transistor density". Even GPUs are hitting a dead end.
Yes we get it. There is always one pedant who defines "Moore's Law". What Moore's Law really means in this context is that processors aren't getting faster. The computer you have today is only marginally faster than the one you had last year and the one before that.
Many things people hope to come true in the future are predicated that processor power increases. If it doesn't, we have hit a wall technically. Much of the progress in the last 50 years is based on digital computing.
Moore's Law is over? I've been saying that for 8 years. Of course whenever I say it here on Slashdot I get assailed by people who can't accept the truth.
Tesla learned that the hard way. They were supposed to be geniuses who will "automate" production (unlike the "legacy" automakers). Then they realized it doesn't work, and like Bob Lutz said: “They will never make money on the Model 3 because the cost is way too high. He’s got 9,000 people in that assembly plant producing less than 150,000 cars a year. The whole thing just doesn’t compute. It’s an automobile company that is headed for the graveyard,”
If you are reading this website you are likely part of the 1%.Do you earn more than $32,000? You are part of the 1%. You guys are out of touch with reality.
He isn't innovating anything. He is producing a car that only the 1% can afford. There are other manufacturers producing affordable EVs today, not Tesla.
BS. There are multiple SEC investigations going on, including ones around their production numbers. You can always tell a Tesla fanboy: they treat the Tesla press releases as some sort of gospel.
Exactly. No one is buying a Google Pixel phone anyway, so who cares how good its camera is? The Nokia Lumia phones from Microsoft had great cameras, but no one bought those either, so what does it matter?
Yes they have run out of people and that is the point: there is no volume to make money on. Have you looked at Mercedes sedan sales? They are selling thousands per quarter, which may seem like a lot to you, but it isn't. Sedan sales aren't the future. Tesla can't make any money on a $35k Model 3, which is why they don't offer one, and even if they did they aren't going to sell very many of them anyway because sedan sales are plummeting. It is amazing how out of touch people are with the market. Tesla will never offer a $35k car. They are a luxury niche car maker.
The dirty secret is that the UK is importing electricity from France, which all comes from French nuclear reactors. What a joke. Those imports are only increasing and now the UK ratepayers are paying extra on top because the French need to make a profit.
That is baloney. Electrek is a joke. They aren't making 30% margin on their cars. Why do people just regurgitate stuff they read on the Internet? Also, there are no years of back orders. You eventually run out of people who can afford a $60,000+ EV.

If you can't sell your junk to the public, force them to buy it for a higher price for the government.
No really. We have. Processing power is not increasing.
"Can we make processors even faster yet? Sure"
No, we can't. That is the point. The processor you get next year will only we marginally faster than the one from this year.
Um, all modern processors are RISC. Careful who you are calling an idiot.

Thanks for the update, Rei. No one cares.

Oh god, not another know-it-all "real estate investor"
This is Amazon, not Apple. I think the guy might be right. Everyone knew it was coming, not just you.
You do know that AI isn't real, right? What they call "AI" is just "neural" networks which have been around for decades.
1) There is no such thing as "AI"
2) We understand how it works, they same way it "worked" in the 1960s. See 1)

Right. A $60,000 Tesla is not expensive. You guys live in a bubble.
OK, a 2% car. What the F. Moron. The point is it isn't an affordable EV. There are other companies providing that.

This is just a takedown by Big Oil, the Saudis, and the "shorts"
