  • I think it's just straight up uncanny valley. Don't think it's especially "dystopian" per se.

    Honestly cartoon eyes might have actually worked better here.

  • it basically falls under the vehicle classification of tricycles and golf carts, so the safety standards are, shall we say, more lenient

    • You now have 4 fully functional arms. How do you make use of your new capability?

  • Drinking while typing shouldn't be too hard. But paying attention to the phone and the monitor would be hard.

  • Japan's been living in the year 2000 since 1980

    but they're still in the year 2000...

  • Karpathy used to be the lead engineer for Tesla's self-driving software development. I thought that was funny.

    • Vulcan rocket's debut brings long-awaited challenge to SpaceX dominance

    Jump

  • the point is that it isn't higher cost for those missions. Falcon Heavy will have to run at 100% expended mode which is nearly the same cost as Vulcan.

    And some missions and payloads outright exclude falcon Heavy, period. High orbit and/or large satellites.

    • Vulcan rocket's debut brings long-awaited challenge to SpaceX dominance

    Jump

  • they can compete in very specific cases - like heavy load to GTO. Falcon Heavy would require full expenditure of all 3 cores to match, which wouldn't be much cheaper. Plus the larger fairing size helps with certain kinds of satellites.

  • they aren't tied to the wheel, just the hubcaps. If you want to run it without the hubcaps, you can put whatever tire you want on it.

    • A huge battery has replaced Hawaii's last coal plant

    Jump

  • in terms of usage though, they are quite similar. Coal serves on-demand power, whereas renewables generate power at times that don't always align with demand. Batteries can take the role of a coal plant if the renewables already generate sufficient energy, just at the wrong times.
