“@stocktalkweekly @WholeMarsBlog @SawyerMerritt The terminology is outdated & inaccurate. This is a tiny over-the-air software update. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no injuries.”

“Thanks for the longstanding faith in SpaceX. We very much look forward to doing this milestone flight with you. https://t.co/U2UFez0OhY https://x.com/ses_satellites/status/770602110996082688”
“RT @SpaceX: Liftoff of Starship's seventh flight test. The Super Heavy booster utilized flight proven hardware for the first time, reusing…”
“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla AI, both hardware & software, is deeply underestimated”
“@WholeMarsBlog Next release (10.12) is another step towards all NN’s using surround video & reconciling output to a unified vector space for control code. Improves complex intersections in heavy traffic. Many upgrades to core code, so taking longer to debug issues. Probably Wed/Thurs release.”
“@WholeMarsBlog This is a big one! Expect some two steps forward, one step back situations. These will be great ironed in point releases, hence ~10.12.2 or 10.13 for wider beta release.”
“@RenataKonkoly @Erdayastronaut And booster used to be 70m, but this required an awkward half barrel width of steel, so now it’s 69m”
“Target altitude of 40,600 km achieved. Thanks @SES_Satellites for riding on Falcon 9! Looking forward to future missions.”
“@Brian_J_Berger That dude is not just a “condition of anonymity” spineless coward, he’s also an ignorant fool. Starlink was directly requested by the Ukraine government, as it was the only thing that worked.”
“@ray4tesla Did my best to warn people that LiDAR isn’t optimal for cars. Roads are designed for biological neural nets & eyes, so digital neural nets & cameras will work best. I say this even though Dragon uses LiDAR for docking with Station, so I don’t intrinsically hate that technology.”
“@Tesmanian_com Award accepted on behalf of the great people at Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink & Boring Co”
“@jonbbc @WholeMarsBlog @aelluswamy 10.69.1 is even better. We reduced latency & jitter in hardware command loop, so time from object detection to brake actuation is 10% to 20% better.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Then HW5, which has been renamed to AI5, in the second half of next year. The Tesla AI5 computer has ~10X the capability of HW4 computer and Tesla makes the whole software stack.”
“@WholeMarsBlog 12.5.x will finally combine the city and highway software stacks”
“@rschmied @spideycyp_155 @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Big difference between peace comms vs warfront comms. Starlink is only comms system still working at warfront – others all dead. Russia is actively trying to kill Starlink. To safeguard, SpaceX has diverted massive resources towards defense. Even so, Starlink may still die.”
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX You may be in an area that is at maximum capacity. Did SpaceX not provide an unsubscribe warning?”
“@WholeMarsBlog Companies should get the hell out of Delaware”
“@WholeMarsBlog @tkrisher He’s actually a lobbyist, not a journalist. There are many who pose as the latter while behaving like the former. No integrity. Indeed, there were no safety issues. The car simply slowed to ~2 mph & continued forward if clear view with no cars or pedestrians.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla has great respect for software engineering, they do not”
“@SP_LimitReviews @Tesla @CodingMark @Manic_Marge @teslainventory @WholeMarsBlog Lot of good work happening on Tesla sound codec & audio software in general. Aiming for maximum music dopamine in your brain!”
“@WholeMarsBlog @ValueAnalyst1 That would be awesome. I suspect they will say no, but I will ask Warren & Charlie.”
“@MeetLuis @WARREZ420 @WholeMarsBlog Rawlinson was never chief engineer. He arrived after Model S prototype was made, left before things got tough & was only ever responsible for body engineering, not powertrain, battery, software, production or design.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Hardware 4 will ultimately be better, but all training is for Hardware 3, with HW4 running in emulation mode”
“@WholeMarsBlog Remarkable how few people realize this capability exists. Many think it is 5 years away! With public beta rollout in coming weeks, awareness should improve dramatically.”
“@WholeMarsBlog FSD/AI team is doing great work. Will get superhuman good in upcoming releases. Note, we will slow down upload rate of releases going forward. First from QA fleet to employee cars for a day, then slowly releasing at ~1000 cars/hr to external beta on Friday aft.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @Gfilche There will be lots of technical detail & cool hardware demos”
“@teslaownersSV @BillyM2k @WholeMarsBlog It sure is hard to find a news source that’s accurate, relevant & not totally depressing! Old-school version of The Economist & Jon Stewart Daily Show / Colbert Report were great.”
“RT @cb_doge: "When I was a kid, I built model airplanes, trainsets, rockets, a radio, lots of software. Built a primitive MRI machine in co…”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX All of that and more. We’re doing a broad review of launch site, propulsion, structures, avionics, range & regulatory constraints this weekend. I will also be at the Cape next week to review hardware in person.”
“Have to focus on tonight's @SpaceX launch. Will post Tesla (master) product plan afterwards.”
“@DrPhiltill @adamholtwrites SpaceX has way more satellites in orbit than the rest of the world combined, so maybe we know a thing or two about the subject 🤣 Starlink V3 will be 20kW and launched at scale around Q4 next year. No problem to scale that to >100kW if the satellite mass is shifted towards solar… https://t.co/6wPLn97Vff https://x.com/i/web/status/1998872465087541752”
“@AdamCuker @SpaceX All Raptor 2 tests going forward”
“@Matt_Lowne Forward flaps will change a lot in upcoming versions of Starship – smaller & more leeward”
“RT @SpaceX: Starship’s Raptor engines ignite during hot-staging separation. Super Heavy is boosting back towards its splashdown site https:…”
“@rschmied @spideycyp_155 @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Internet fiber, phone lines, cell towers & other space-based comms in war areas have been destroyed. Starlink is all that’s left. For now. https://t.co/CdjbOWgziz https://www.wired.com/story/viasat-internet-hack-ukraine-russia/amp”
“@shanaka86 Starlink satellite maneuvering is done with heuristics (conventional software), not AI”
“@flcnhvy @SciGuySpace F9 iteration slowed down as payloads became too important to risk. Little change is expected going forward with F9/FH or Dragon. Starship production & thus iterative improvement will be much faster than Falcon. Driving hard for fully reusable orbital flight this year!”
“@rSpaceX @SpaceX SpaceX Software AMA”
“@Erdayastronaut @robert_zubrin Unfortunately, Starship unlikely to survive LEO entry intact without shielding on windward side, but none required on leeward. Even windward shielding is very light.”
“@spideycyp_155 @FedorovMykhailo @SpaceX Starlink has faced relentless jamming attacks & SpaceX relentless cyberwar. So far, their success has been limited.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @moneymik3420 @jack @gdb Yeah, definitely don’t use C unless optimizing for hardware performance!”
“Falcon 9 is vertical on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral. Working towards static fire. Deep cryo liquid oxygen presenting some challenges.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Assuming user approves warning & agrees to drive carefully, it will download latest QA-tested FSD “Beta” build as soon as car connects to wifi”
“@WholeMarsBlog High-performance code is in C using our own compiler to maximize frame rate. We use Python with custom libraries for fast prototyping, then convert to C for fast execution. New software is run against real-world video & our world simulator to evaluate performance, then QA.”
“@WholeMarsBlog It will seem silly that people even thought all that hardware was ever needed”
“@PPathole Booster has 2 pins for lifting & catching, although maybe it’s better to modify grid fins to take more load. Something will need to flip out from leeward side of top of ship to do same there. Maybe it’s part of fwd flaps, but prob not. Diff solutions for diff load paths.”
“@S3XYstarship @IWill_Travel @AOC This would be a super bad idea, since stocks can swing wildly from one day to the next, eg Snapchat dropping 43%. Tesla is ~40% below ATH! However, eliminating estate tax dodges like GRATs would be good, since probability of kids being effective stewards of capital is lower.”
“@ajtourville Starlink direct to cell phone emergency services will work with existing cell phones, so no extra hardware required”
“@teslatidbits @WholeMarsBlog @DanCrenshawTX A strong bias towards consumption tax makes sense”
“@NASA @sgvcrime @SpaceX @Space_Station Thanks for your support! Looking forward to delivering the goods for you.”
