In September 2023 I made a charity bet that Tesla would not deliver 3.5 million vehicles in 2025. Instead of a fictional new high of 3.5 million Tesla delivered 1.63 million - down from '25 and also' 24.
Too bad I have no way of reaching out to the losing party.

Tesla's competition should take a note. Clearly having a human driver in your robotaxi is the superior solution.

The ACM Digital Library, where a LOT of computing-related research is published (I'd say at least 75% of my own publications), is now not only providing (without consent of the authors and without opt-in by readers) AI-generated summaries of papers, but they appear as the *default* over abstracts.

He's scared. Tesla sales are tanking, California is about to rule that "Full Self-Driving" is false advertising, Starship keeps blowing up, SpaceX loses too much money to IPO, and XAI is burning $10 billion/year for the 4th place chatbot.

I wouldn’t call it irony but noteworthy still
🇺🇸‼️ The irony of the moment is that Bryan Lanza, a former adviser to Donald Trump — who in several interviews urged Ukraine to “come to terms” with the loss of Crimea — has now become a consultant to the international division of Russia’s Lukoil.

A silly silly product. Electric bike that makes electricity.
Cost $3800 euros.
With pretty price electricity price of 0.15c(euro)/kWh it takes over 25,000 hours to save the electricity cost. At semi-leisurely 20kph we can assume that you can get 60W of electricity out so at that pace ~500k km.

Here is Ark prediction for Tesla from a few years back.
In the real world Tesla sales track behind 2024 AND 2023 in China and Europe. This despite the L (long) variant in china and facelift Model Y release this year. These are the latest products and no new ones in foreseeable future.

Ark simulated that in 2025 Tesla would sell 9.3 million vehicles at 40% gross margins.

If you haven't yet. Help whistleblower in the teeth of Elon and Tesla
I did my part.
Lukasz leaked serious safety culture issues and consumer misleading schemes at Tesla a few years back.
Anyone who has followed Tesla knows Elon will use his money might to crush such with serious vengeance.
Help the underdog.

PB 140kg for 2 reps.
My highest weight for deadlift was 110kg until last spring. Did 130kgx3 a few weeks back. The odd thing is that in several years I have trained much more. I have only like 5-6 weight sessions since July. Plenty of indoor rowing though but even that largely at "zone 2".

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
