  • Lots of copies with a high error correction encoding.

    For the physical carrier, some kind of little chemically reactive metal alloy, in a hydrophobic polymer coating.

    Or turn it into a religion and force little kids to memorize it pretending their soul depends on it. Pass on that trauma through generations.

  • Very thankfull for the open models and the breakdown of the proprietary moat they wanted to build around LLMs.

    Still fearfull about regulatory capture though: "AI is dangerous, only we at industry council of megacorps can keep you safe. Make it illegal for other to train and run their own networks".

  • I guess the issues arise if Tesla just pockets the subsidy without passing on the savings to savings to people buying EVs

    This report shows that they do just that: without the emissions credit system they would operate at a loss. In other words: they sell cars for cheaper than the cost of manufacturing. Coincidentally the same thing the US and EU claims China is doing, as motivation for mercantillist tarrifs.

  • Which means the system isn't working. Surplus credits should come from improved efficiencies, not excessive allotment.

    Total number of credit goes down over time. That mechanism ensures an adapt, die or emigrate pressure for large polluters, and a financial stimulus for small-polluters.

  • Net profits $2.3B. "Poor financial results". How does one reconcile these two things?

    That's 2.3B USD on a 1.29T USD valuation, or 0.17%.

    Valuations should be reflective of expected future profits. Multiples of ×20 yearly profit are possible for risky (tech or biotech usually) companies, with large potential profit. But the ratio is ridiculously off the charts for tesla. If it does not improve, it will have turned out to have been a very wastefull use of capital.
