“@aparanjape @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX I do think that great design & engineering of products are critical, but manufacturing & supply chain require orders of magnitude more work”
“@DavidNagySFgang @rocketry_catboy Indeed. Grid fin designs clearly work, but do they maximize payload? Good chance that they do not. Something with much more drag to reduce terminal velocity & so reduce landing propellant might have better performance. Not sure. Potential future optimization.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Actually, I like & use Apple products. They are just obviously overcharging with App Store. I mean 30% fees for doing almost zero incremental work is completely unreasonable. Epic wouldn’t bother processing their own payments if App Store fees were fair.”
“@SamTwits @engineers_feed I’m so dying to do a supersonic vtol electric jet! But I already have way too much on my plate. Any more work and my brain will explode.”
“@teslaownersSV @Tesla Great work by Tesla Giga Berlin team & supporting contractors!”
“@ValaAfshar @Tesla Tesla Giga Shanghai team has done amazing work!”
“@WholeMarsBlog @karpathy The feeling is mutual. But I can’t emphasize enough that we work with an amazing team. The credit is theirs.”
“@johnkrausphotos @SpaceX @PortCanaveral Version 3 of the SpaceX droneship. Team did great work! Will be epic to see the deep sea oil rigs converted to ocean spaceports for Starship.”
“@crheller @SpaceX Glad it’s working! The sheer amount of work done by SpaceX engineering, production & launch teams is amazing. Ping should improve dramatically in coming months. We’re aiming for <20ms. Basically, you should be able to play competitive FPS games through Starlink.”
“@astro_g_dogg Took more work to make F9 booster reuse cost-effective than went into recovering it in the first place. This is an important point. Things finally clicked into place with Block 5. My hat is off to everyone at SpaceX, NASA, Space Force, FAA & suppliers who helped make it happen.”
“@28delayslater @karpathy Accurate assessment. Btw, Autopilot software is technically led by Ashok, Andrej & Milan, but it’s very much a “knights of the round table” structure. There are so many talented engineers on Autopilot/AI team & they decide for themselves what to work on. Kinda like Valve.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX Absolutely! Staggeringly insane amount of work between now and then.”
“@weddleandsons @Tesla Working with Weddle and Sons Roofing has been a great collaboration for accelerating Tesla Solar Roof installation! This is a lot of work, as tens of millions of homes need solar roofs! If you are a roofing company, please consider adding Solar Roof to your offerings.”
“@TheClassicalCo Might work”
“@AngelNDevil2 @torybruno But I guess I should take my own advice & just work on saving the things I love”
“@thesheetztweetz Work needed between flights is less & less, as shown by shortening time between reflights. Required work between flights for Starship & Super Heavy is zero.”
“Shout out to the awesome Tesla global team. Thanks for working so hard to make Tesla successful!”
“@weddleandsons @Tesla Nice work”
“@DimaZeniuk @Tesla @WholeMarsBlog @dami_kolz @Kristennetten @1stMarsColonist @melaniemadri @daelmor @RationalEtienne @EvaFoxU @AstroJordy @28delayslater It is an honor to work with such talented engineers”
“@gmalca @Tesla True, we somewhat overcompensated on Bluetooth antenna capability haha. Will work on turning it down near your destination.”
“@leastImAlive @PPathole Yeah, sold my houses, except for 1 in Bay Area that’s rented out for events. Working on sustainable energy for Earth with Tesla & protecting future of consciousness by making life multiplanetary with SpaceX. Also, AI risk mitigation with Neuralink & fixing traffic with Boring.”
“@KennyLoaded @BillyM2k Some engineers I worked with went on to help create WoW, but it was too addicting. Couldn’t afford the time (sigh).”
“@Model3Owners Making this work has been / still is super difficult, but it’s a revolution in car body design & production – lighter, tighter, better NVH, higher precision, lower capex, lower unit cost”
“@PPathole I worked for Peter Nicholson, who is awesome. Mostly, we exchanged math riddles, although I did figure out a multi-billion dollar arbitrage opportunity for the bank. Figured they’d at least give me $1/hour raise, but no … https://t.co/rdjDtPtPHz https://finance.yahoo.com/news/internships-helped-elon-musk-figure-145700812.html”
“@ChainLinkGod @PeterMcCormack Hey cryptocurrency “experts”, ever heard of PayPal? It’s possible … maybe … that I know than you realize about how money works.”
“Working with Doge devs to improve system transaction efficiency. Potentially promising.”
“@ID_AA_Carmack I have a lot of respect for anyone who ships useful product at scale. It is insanely hard work.”
“@Dreamweaver2oh @garyblack00 I think we’re maybe a month or two away from wide beta. But these things are hard to predict accurately. The work we had to do for pure vision driving was needed for FSD, so much more progress has been made than it would seem.”
“A major part of real-world AI has to be solved to make unsupervised, generalized full self-driving work, as the entire road system is designed for biological neural nets with optical imagers”
“@neuralink @shivon Great review! Neuralink is open to working with neuroscientists to advance the field. Short-term goal is addressing brain & spine problems. Ultimate goal is symbiosis of human & machine intelligence.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX @Tesla That was my night job. Day job was working on ruthenium-tantalum ultracapacitors at Pinnacle Research.”
“@WholeMarsBlog If you don’t say anything & engage Autopilot, it will soon guess based on time of day, taking you home or to work or to what’s on your calendar”
“@Teslarati @ResidentSponge Great work by Tesla team!”
“@bluemoondance74 @NASASpaceflight Going well. Lot of work for an extra 20 secs of Isp!”
“@WholeMarsBlog What has become absolutely clear is that the plethora of self-driving corner cases can only be solved with real-world optical intelligence. This is how humans designed the road system to work. Once you have that in silicon form, everything else is just icing on the cake.”
“@TrevorMahlmann @SpacePadreIsle Celebrating a year of great work by the SpaceX team!”
“@Erdayastronaut @tobyliiiiiiiiii @NASASpaceflight Yeah, we talked about that internally. Could just have it land on a big net or bouncy castle. Lacks dignity, but would work. But, optimized landing propellant is only ~5% of dry mass, so it’s not a gamechanger.”
“@austinbarnard45 SN10 engine was low on thrust due (probably) to partial helium ingestion from fuel header tank. Impact of 10m/s crushed legs & part of skirt. Multiple fixes in work for SN11.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX SpaceX team is doing great work! One day, the true measure of success will be that Starship flights are commonplace.”
“@Erdayastronaut Good analysis. We’re working on lowering min throttle of Raptor, so that there is engine redundancy throughout the landing burn.”
“Back to work I go …”
“@michaelhodapp_ Back to work tonight!”
“@flcnhvy @AstroJordy Not that easy. This is two decades of intense work. Have to look at old notes, emails, texts.”
“@hamoon__ @neuralink Neuralink is working super hard to ensure implant safety & is in close communication with the FDA. If things go well, we might be able to do initial human trials later this year.”
“If you’ve worked on advanced wearables, phones or robots, those skills are needed @neuralink”
“Please consider working at Neuralink! Short-term: solve brain/spine injuries Long-term: human/AI symbiosis Latter will be species-level important Work at either at our Bay Area or Austin locations”
“@TJ_Cooney @lrocket @SpaceX @FelixSchlang @MarcusHouseGame That sounds correct. Tom certainly deserves a lot of credit for his excellent work on those engines! Dean Ono too for Kestrel & Draco.”
“@28delayslater Finishing engineering this year, production starts next year. Aiming to have release candidate design drivable late summer. Tri-motor drive system & advanced battery work were important precursors.”
“@ID_AA_Carmack I hope so. Wings don’t work on the moon at all and def not well on Mars. Also, no runways.”
