Makes sense and it sounds like Optimus is getting ready for prime time.

Are they betting Robotaxi will replace all cars in the future?

I'm likely out of the loop, but what evidence is there that Optimus is anywhere close to ready for prime time, or any commercialization at all? I haven't seen anything compelling yet outside of highly edited videos in controlled settings.

If they're making that move they must have confidence in the progress.

How does it "make sense" to you, really? Can you provide more rationale ?

If their accountants and financial advisers tell them to of coarse they will.

Furthermore given whats at stake you would divert 1/10th of those funds to making sure that act never passes.

So much choice. I a little too much -

How do I know which are good / worth trying?

Where do I start?!

First, you need to try to develop a serious GAS or PAS, after a while you'll get into a flow of trying things out. But be careful, this does not work, if you try to do actual music.

It's pretty sad that LMMS is stuck there. The wine hacks needed are not trivial either, you need legacy versions of it.

KDE is the best. Everything they make is awesome, Im a big fan.

So much so I donate to them monthly.

Eh, here in Australia we spent 96 million on the front end of a weather website. Estimated at $4 million originally.

This budget included a full modernization of their infrastructure as well as the website redesign. It's still heaps of money - but the media saying "a website cost $96 million AUD" is misleading.

I'd sort of expect them to replace every radar they had for that kind of money.

Can anyone sue them for the same to get a payout?

And this is why Tesla will steamroll them in time. That and their cars are far more adaptable.

Only if Tesla is able to roll out a competing service. Given that they have zero cars without a safety driver on public roads, I’d say they’re a very long way from doing so, and I have my doubts about their ability to do so at all. Their CEO talks big but doesn’t deliver.

Tesla won't achieve true safe autonomy without a significant change in strategy.

the people competitive in this space - your Waymo's, the Chinese auto co's (banned in the US), Mercedes | GM (won't do this as it cuts into their main profit lines) - so that will only leave Waymo as the only player in automated ride hailing

Tesla is just making noise as usual.

Amen brother
