I would be really surprised if crypto had enough financial strength to raise funds comparable to the normal consumers of industrial quantities of electricity. the biggest mining ops these days are chinese warehouses flying under the radar and close to super cheap hydro

who would do that? random farms do go down because the local cheap electricity runs out, but all the big time mining companies got like 1000 warehouses in 500 places to try to game it all

“Elon Musk is a revolutionary,” he said. “I’m a Musko! I’ve got the hat. Me and my business partner bought the flamethrower.”

the article

https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/17/17365188/drive-ai-driverless-self-driving-car-texas

the headline

quote:

Fully driverless cars are on public roads in Texas

the bullshit

quote:

In a video provided by Drive.ai, the company’s self-driving Nissan NV200 is seen crossing six lanes of traffic, passing cyclists and pedestrians, entering a roundabout, and even navigating through low-angle sunlight that typically obscures an autonomous vehicle’s sensors. A smaller screen showcases the vehicle’s perception system identifying objects such as cars, pedestrians, and cyclists .

the reality

quote:

This is all on public roads in Frisco, and is part of the route for the public July pilot launch. While there’s no one in the driver’s seat in this video, we did have one of our trained safety drivers in the passenger’s seat (acting as a ‘chaperone’ with the ability to manually take over control from that position is necessary). We also had one of our tele-choice operators monitoring the vehicle’s operation, able to step in if the vehicle was not 100% sure of what to do. So even though we filmed with no one in the driver’s seat here, this video was a one-off, and not how we’re operating the vehicles normally. We will be having safety drivers for our operations as the vehicles drive in Frisco to collect data between now and the program launch in July.

so still 5 years off i guess

it seems like having one is a box HR would check off in their "normal white person, not psychopath" list s'all, i made it clear that you shouldn't actually use linkedin beyond setting up your basic stuff and skills
