@elonmusk has there ever been a consideration for a legit racing branch of @Tesla? Formula E, Rally, drag racing... It’d sure be fun to see and help show off the tech!
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 26, 2020
No, we’re focused on developing new products & scaling production

Yes, will show V2. Still far from LASIK, but could get pretty close in a few years.

Would starship be able to lay down on the surface of moon / mars to make a permanent habitat if needed? Linear seems better than vertical for long term use.

Elon, for setting up the Sabatier fuel plant for Starship on mars, how many earth launches will be required for full operation? & How many earth launches for setting up a fuel base on moon?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 26, 2020
Mars is easier than the moon for propellant production. Could get going with only one ship, where the ship itself is the propellant plant. Needs to make ~2 tons/day.

How will lunar starship refuel? It needs to go back to Earth orbit, and then get refueled by multiple tankers to do that round trip each time right? Can’t make methane on the moon sans a large cow farm, right? 😂
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 26, 2020
Starship propellant is ~78% oxygen, so an O2 plant on the moon would be enough. Otherwise, we could brute-force it with tankers to low Earth orbit. That’s probably faster.

1) If all humans stood in a circle, it would be way bigger than the moon's orbit.
2) If we all stood together as a crowd, we'd fit in NYC.
3) If we all stood stacked, we'd fit in a 1km cube.
4) If you removed the empty space in human atoms, we'd all fit in an M&M.

The atmosphere at Hellas Planita is already slightly above the tripple point of water.

@elonmusk · Aug 25, 2020
There’s a lot of frozen CO2 & H2O on Mars. Heating the planet will densify the atmosphere. It’s solvable.

Why fp32 for dojo? Will you be leveraging the same chip for in-car inference?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 25, 2020
Very different computers are needed for training vs inference. FSD is mostly Int8, but Dojo is de facto FP32 (feels like FP32, but actually FP16 with boring bits truncated) so we don’t need to rewrite all the training software. It should work almost immediately.

Nvidia is now worth more than Intel + AMD combined.
That's the market's way of saying: x86 is a legacy architecture.
The workload of the future is SIMULATION.
Light -> raytracing
Physics -> n-body, CFD
AI -> neural nets
..and these will run on GPUs.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 25, 2020
Not exactly GPUs for NN. Lots of cores optimized for dot products with fast local memory & super high bandwidth between cores & efficient liquid cooling. Compiler needs to be optimized too.

Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 24, 2020
Yeah. Occasional flights from land are ok, but frequent (daily) flights probably need ~30km / 18 miles clear area for noise.
