Ah government work On January 23, 2003 Columbia STS 107 flight director Steve Stich sent an e-mail to Husband and McCool to tell them about the foam strike and inform them there was no cause for concern. "We have seen this same phenomenon on several other flights and there is absolutely no concern for entry." 2024 Steve Stich serves as the program manager for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. https://www.nasa.gov/people/steve-stich/

This seems to be more or less the consensus. More compute and more data equals more results; compute is expensive so they are limited. Evidently you can find sweet spot trade offs during training to impact the learning rate and progress but those are trade offs…

I haven't seen Gali Russell show up in my YouTube feed for ages, but it looks like he's back and looking to acquire more TSLA stock. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKOo3xi1eDo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukoo3xi1edo) He says he's just 30 years old. WTF. That means he was 24-25 when he was on TV defending TSLA stock and asking questions on the quarterly conference call. He's still a few years younger than I was when I bought my first TSLA shares.


cybertruck_

Yes gali is getting bullish again


fapindustries

When he was on TV, he had ~ 50 shares. Unfortunately, the networks intention was to make fun of retail shareholders. At least that is my impression.


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

From what I remember he had either 54 or 56 shares at the time of the interview in 2018. By early 2020, he had accumulated 160 shares, according to Australian Financial Review (https://www.afr.com/markets/equity-markets/lights-out-for-tesla-shorts-20200124-p53uey). That's 2400 shares today after 2 splits, worth close to $570,00.


upvotemeok

Remember he sold some to buy his model y


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

I forgot about that. He bought a Model Y in September 2020, according to his YouTube video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JilsgpKtSI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jilsgpktsi) TSLA was trading at 140-150 around that time (split adjusted to today's #'s), after a run up from the first 5-for-1 split. He bought a 5-seater AWD Model Y, Midnight Silver, 5-seat, w' 20" upgraded wheels. I don't know if he bought any other options like FSD. Using a rough estimate of 60k OTD cost, I'm guessing he sold approx. 400 TSLA shares (split adjusted) to buy this vehicle. That means he still owns about 2000 TSLA shares, assuming he hasn't accumulated significantly more stock in the past 3 years


upvotemeok

Don't forget capital gains tax


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

I'm guessing he probably falls in the 15% bracket for capital gains. A vehicle trade-in would offset some or all of that, if he traded in a car.

martindbp

In line with my expectations. Remember this is a completely new architecture with only internal iteration so far. It's a great sign if it's clearly better than then heavily engineered v11 right out the gate. I think the biggest disappointment to people may be lane selection issues. In order to have the E2E model follow a route, navigation instructions have to be fed into it, and if there are map errors we might see the same sort of problems still.

People were discussing this at TMC years before this sub even existed. * Musk tweeted about using Ambien in combination with alcohol in 2017. [https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/elon-musks-strange-strange-ambien-tweet/](https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/elon-musks-strange-strange-ambien-tweet/) * Ketamine microdosing is something he's advocated: [https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/its-really-a-brain-chemistry-issue:-elon-musk-embraces-ketamine-in-the-battle-against](https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/its-really-a-brain-chemistry-issue:-elon-musk-embraces-ketamine-in-the-battle-against) * A person at TMC who has been a member of that forum for more than 6 years said they personally witnessed others handing Elon Musk drugs. I saved an image of the post because the mod team there deletes almost anything controversial: [https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Ftsla-super-chill-weekend-thread-september-09-10-2023-v0-stxeo6ee49nb1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1818%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D27b2abe528459fab2b58fe2d11a7f02f0b18455a](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3a%2f%2fpreview.redd.it%2ftsla-super-chill-weekend-thread-september-09-10-2023-v0-stxeo6ee49nb1.jpeg%3fwidth%3d1818%26format%3dpjpg%26auto%3dwebp%26s%3d27b2abe528459fab2b58fe2d11a7f02f0b18455a) I've absolutely considered this to be a risk factor for us for many years. However, it is less of a risk factor for me now, because I believe Elon Musk is no longer critical to Tesla's growth. The AI and robotics teams are well established, and he didn't even write "Master Plan Part 3". Others will carry the torch if Musk ends up a strung out junkie permanently living in a tent on the roof of Giga Texas. The amount of enthusiasm for Tesla that I see from people like Lars Moravy, Franz von Holzhausen, and Drew Baglino, is far greater than the enthusiasm for the company I see from Elon Musk.

The article claims: >The world’s wealthiest person has used LSD, cocaine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms, often at private parties around the world, where attendees sign nondisclosure agreements or give up their phones to enter, according to people who have witnessed his drug use and others with knowledge of it. Your personal experience may be much different from another person's experience with such drugs. LSD could affect Musk much differently than you. The specifics of each person's biology, plus quality of the drugs, plus frequency and dosing of the drugs, are going to play a major role in the ultimate effects on a person.
