The stainless steel sides probably do provide a little more protection against shrapnel relative to other pickups, but they should probably at least partially cover the massive windows with some protection.

That’s surprising to me if that’s the case. I think the batteries would have to be chemically different and have different (less) capacity when integrated explosives are inside. I’m no chemist though so IDK for sure. Perhaps the power use of pagers is low enough that it’s not noticeable if the batteries have 25% the capacity they should.

I’ll bet they’ve been sitting on this type of attack for years too. Waiting for the right time to pull it off. The thing about this type of attack is its effectiveness drops off dramatically after using it once. It may not be usable again.

Pretty sure they had actual explosives installed, via either interception of the shipment or collusion with the manufacturer. Most likely intercepted the shipment.

It’s a problem with the transformer-based architecture. They are basically feed-forward networks where the “neurons” all face the same way, input layer -> inner layers -> output layer. They need a new design for more complex reasoning and eventual consciousness. Maybe liquid neural networks? Not sure what it’s going to be.

Nice to see more open source AI models keeping up and sometimes surpassing the closed ones. It’s no wonder OpenAI keeps trying to push governments to regulate AI. They need to have small players and open source squashed to make their business model viable.

Nope, watch the whole Whistlin Diesel video. They DID smash the tow hitch with a large perpendicular force prior to the breaking, but it was in fact the cast aluminum frame that broke. While this was a torture test with conditions not encountered by regular users, the failure supposedly happened at least once in the field with someone whose trailer hit a pothole. Since cast aluminum tends to crack rather than bend, this has the potential happen even more when the trucks are subjected to smaller stresses over time as people tow.

2024-08-31 20:26:33

The frame breaking has to be the scariest issue for Tesla. It potentially results in Tesla being forced to say the Cybertruck can’t be used for towing at all, and it has no possible fix with software or recalls.

Yes, the back end took a major perpendicular force in the demo, but there looks to be at least one case in the field of a trailer hitting a large pothole and causing the same failure. More minor forces will likely build up stress damage in other vehicles and I’m guessing that in some years, maybe months, we’ll see lots of instances of the failure.

2024-08-27 22:01:56

Oof. I like the Cybertruck, but when this issue happens to more trucks pulling trailers it’s going to result in Tesla being forced to say the Cybertruck can’t safely pull a trailer, and regulatory agencies enforcing that. This issue doesn’t look fixable at all with recalls. Could be the end of the Cybertruck. https://youtu.be/_scBKKHi7WQ

Makes you realize that the time allowed for intelligent life to evolve is actually pretty short (assuming ~4B years between genesis and intelligent life). Probably the reason we haven’t made contact yet - the window is very short. The best chances for contacting intelligent life will probably involve looking for civs that have transcended to Kardashev II+.

The only long term solution is FOSS software and hardware in modern vehicles. Full self driving and fully autonomous unmanned vehicles (land drones) are going to become increasingly common and eventually change the way intersections and traffic flow work. Relying on old vehicles that lack computers and networking is not a long term solution.

Once being productive just means you have to pay your gains to the less productive, they used to build a wall to keep the productive in. Now they are enforcing taxes globally with exit taxes, global minimum tax (on corporations) and extradition treaties so that the IRS can arrest people pretty much anywhere. They’re trying to expand global minimum taxes to cover wealthy individuals. They want wealth and unrealized gains taxes. This is the modern “wall.” Bitcoin can keep you out if used well.
