Dead weight doesn't always realize it's deadweight.

It's not surprising. Tesla FSD is basically monitoring the driver at all times to ensure they are paying attention. That alone would reduce accidents.

You are trying to use a metaphor to make a point, but it is not at all clear what your point actually is.

When you use a metaphor, follow it up with a simple explanatory sentence. Your writing will be more clear, and your thinking less muddy.

Altman may be a madman, but he's in no way a genius.

I don't know how you can possibly estimate that with any degree of certainty.

They made changes to the re-entry path, it will hit a steeper angle, but it hasn't been tested an angle that steep.

but as soon as the market improves, employees will bolt away faster than a rear-ended Pinto.

Sunk cost is a cost already incurred that is not subject to variation or revision and that is usually represented by a fixed asset purchased and in use. (The term is often used as part of tthe phrase "the sunk cost fallacy", where it represents cost already spent, but it is also applicable in other contexts.)

In this particular application, it means that in industrialized countries, the electrical grid is already paid for (or, in the language of the definition above, it is "a fixed asset already purchased and in use"), while solar and other new technologies are not yet paid for.

Is there any particular point in your post other than nitpicking? Or is it that you are actually not able to understand that a technology that has to be paid for is at a disavantage competing against a technology that is already paid?

That's not a particularly high temperature by thermodynamic standards.

Yes, this last statement is accurate. Storing electrical energy by heating a thermal mass is a terrible way to store electrical energy.

Don't worry it has been trained on the ethics of our stable genius leader

No. Apple was less open with it's documentation that the preceding personal computers. (The S100 bus computers.) I'll admit that I believe the Tarbell interface was portable (I never tried), but that wasn't invented by Apple. The floppy disk format was proprietary.

I'm dumber than a calculator in some respects.

And they *certainly* don't listen to their people.

Well, unless they say what the CEO already thinks.

And I'm going to buy a private island, a mansion, and a jet, just in case I win the lottery!

Wait, there's actually a *better* chance that I win the lottery, even though I never bought a ticket.
