Cars without crumple zones also don't necessarily reduce the damage done to the car. They reduce damage to the most visible parts of the car but cars without crumple zones pose a greater risk to the internal components hidden under the hood like the engine and transmission.

when rich capitalists drink their own koolaid and actually believe in meritocracy, meaning their godly amounts of wealth must mean that they are gods and super-geniuses that can do no wrong. Elon's entire worldview hinges on the the idea that he MUST be a genius, otherwise his entire political philosophy collapses, because meritocracy can't be true if he's actually a moron. The super wealthy must have massive ego's and believe themselves to be gods among men, or else their wealth is not justifiable, and they can never admit that to themselves, much less the world.

My only problem with this current reaction is that the Cybertruck was performing a full frontal test, compared to the offset tests done for the rest of the trucks by the IIHS. Once they get their hands on one, that'll be a REAL doozy to see how well the crash structure actually does its job absorbing impact forces and reducing occupant injury. Many vehicles have already gotten their ratings shaken up for not doing enough to secure and protect rear passengers in impact events, I'm very curious to see how well it'll go with the Cybertruck.

As someone that has worked in Tech since 1996, I absolutely agree with Vaush. Too much tech is about looking cool. Apple, Tesla, Samsung, they are fashion accessories and the latest upgrades are usually minimal, you only need a new phone like every 4-5 years. As far as graphics cards go, they don;t really do "graphics" that much, the cards are unique in how many cores they have, they are amazing for doing physics sims, such as calculating the physics within a game, but yeah, the games themselves are coded really badly.

[@PhilfreezeCH]

I mostly agree with this but would just like to point out that Vaush is mostly fine with fashion, you know, the industry currently dominated by weekly releases with ‚new designs‘. Vaush is just complaining about capitalism but for some reason has to make it about tech in particular. Everything works like this and its not exactly new.

[@davitdavid7165]

​@PhilfreezeCH I think he talked about how bad fast fashion is.

[@JohnDoesSports]

Seriously, some of the greatest minds in computer science came from east of the iron curtain. Since their hardware was generally worse than their western counterparts, programmers had to write code that was far more efficient. That being said, even western programmers had to do far more optimization of their code until quite recently because of how expensive memory was decades ago.

[@NJ-wb1cz]

It's well known that computer speed exists for the developers, not the consumers. If a program runs 100 times slower but was 10 times faster to develop, then it's a program that can be made in a year as opposed to never being made because no one will develop it for 10 years

[@NJ-wb1cz]

In the world we live in, people need phones, computers, cars, etc., and it is a great thing that we have independent reviewers who make high quality reviews of these products since there is so much BS in the way that companies advertise.

[@frevazz3364]

It’s really not a hard concept to grasp. The goal is for the vehicle to absorb impact energy by crumbling so that the human body receives less of the impact. In the cybertruck or any car from the 60s, the car looks like it holds up better but that means the body is receiving the brunt of the impact thus more severe for the person. Race cars are designed to crumple for a reason…

In a crash you want to be in a Tesla before any other brand. They have consistently delivered the highest rated cars in crash testing. 5.4 stars out of 5 in one case and have been know to break the testing machines. What was shown here was and Apple to Oranges comparison and even with that if you look you can see that the Tesla handled the crash better. The entire vehicle absorbs the force almost simultaneously distributing the force allowing the exoskeleton and the interior frame to flex and absorb the impact while the front trunk is taking the initial brunt. Even the rear wheels tow in to slow the vehicle. It will be interesting to see the real crash test as the current standard testing rig will probably fail as the Cybertruck just may ride right over it. Oh and no pesky steering column to impale the driver. The steering wheel will also give when a body hits it.

If you don't feel pure hatred for them and the sycophants who promote their products then you're disgusting, you're barely even human." PREACH!! Your passion is a breath of fresh air. As a person who loves programming and has been programming for decades, I absolutely despise the fact that through avarice and the petty ambitions of some emotionally deficient, empathy challenged and spiritually empty morons (bill gates et al) computers have been used to regiment and demean the best aspects of humanity instead of enhancing it. Programming for me has always been a way to create a thought space with a machine, a small universe, a way to liberate the mind. I understand and empathize deeply with people like Terry A. Davis who uses his computer as a temple - arranging things in such a way that the focus is entirely on creating, modifying, exploring. The core user action is to interact with a JIT compiler and interpreter to create and sculpt a living universe. I even agree with Terry or at least deeply empathize with why you shouldn't network the computer - the computer core itself should be the focus, the CPU that is yours to wield to cast spells and summon universes. Networking starts to shift the focus toward using the computer primarily as a communications device, which is the primary way we all use our computers today. In doing so for decades, people have now been trained to be consumers and are being mined for data and manipulated with targeted propaganda like lab rats. Under these conditions, any technological advancement that occurs is primarily motivated by the psychotic desire to further accelerate the regimentation of humans and human spaces that began with enclosures and the industrial revolution. As such announcements of new technologies must be resisted and subverted. All glory to the hackers and the crackers. In conclusion, Vaush for God Emperor!

It got to the point where most people blame themselves when something goes wrong with their computer/printer/whatever when in reality it's all just a trend of cutting cost to a point you almost have to be an engineer yourself to make anything work at all. Most of modern tech is a house of cards held together with duct tape and feces and I say that not because I'm against tech but because I like tech and want it to be better.

[@TheMisterGuy]

"There has to be a point where a game looks good enough, more complexity isn’t gonna make it better" There is and it was a while ago. Vaush named Bloodborne, which I would say looked good enough that we can stop. However, it's 30 FPS, which doesn't feel as good as 60. And it takes place mostly in narrow corridors and enclosed settings with relatively few characters on screen.

A game's degree of freedom is its story and creative choices, everything else we try to make as close to reality as possible because it's more immersive, and full realism is computationally demanding. The resolutions needed to cover the entire field of view of a human at maximum resolution (the case in VR for instance) is going to be insanely high, probably like 16k per eye, these necessitate better GPUs. Also every CG image you've seen used full raytracing long before it came to the gaming sphere, it was only recently it became possible to do it in real time (i.e. due to advancements in graphics cards).

The concern I have is how the doors and stainless steel will act after an accident. The doors open via a button and motor, and apparently the door can open even when the gaps are covered in ice. But in a sever enough accident, the door will bend and buckle. Will the motor be able to open the door if when the door is compromised? Other cars with normal doors can jam their doors, but they can still break the window glass... Except Elon specifically bragged about the Cybertruck having shatterproof glass. Finally, the stainless steel is meant to be stronger than the metal used in most car bodies, which is why the Cybertruck didn't deform and just stopped dead in the crash test... How will that affect the work of firefighters using jaws of life to cut people out of wrecked cars?

Don't know how much that factors in to that failed test but I see why they didn't show it in the nearly half hour review. Also it's the fastest truck in the world so we will definitely get some real world brick wall tests with these.

It's not effecticely bulletproof. They shot it with special rounds. Frangible rounds. They did not shoot even hollowpoint but especially not FMJ, both of which would likely have penetrated.

The design of collision-safe cars involves constructing the frame in such a way that it absorbs the majority of kinetic energy, and this energy is transferred to the car's structure rather than the passengers. The primary goal is to minimize the forces acting on individuals inside the vehicle during an accident. Structural elements, such as crumple zones, energy absorbers, or special deformation panels, are designed to enhance safety by absorbing energy through controlled deformations, thereby reducing the forces that may impact passengers. Additionally, advanced safety systems, including airbags, seat belts, and stability control systems, are implemented to minimize the risk of injuries in the event of a collision. The entire approach to car design aims to protect the lives and well-being of passengers during potential road accidents. In the context of car collisions, the primary role in absorbing energy is played by the deformation of materials, namely bending and twisting of structures. Friction also plays a certain role, but it's mainly the bending of materials, especially in crumple zones, that allows the absorption of kinetic energy from the collision. In the case of crumple zones, specially designed areas of the vehicle, often located on the front and rear bumpers, are engineered for controlled deformation in the event of a collision. These areas bend and absorb kinetic energy, helping to minimize the forces acting on the rest of the vehicle and its occupants. Friction may also play a role in energy absorption, but primarily through phenomena such as the friction between the tires and the road surface, aiding in slowing down the vehicle. However, when it comes to the vehicle's structural design and absorbing collision energy, it mainly relies on the controlled deformation of structures.

I love when vaush puts to words a feeling I've long had. There is a small but passionate group of Google Pixel fans, most if whom largely agree that the 5 was the perfect phone. i was a little pissed when mine broke and it would have cost three times more to repair it,rather than "upgrade" to the 7. So, alas, i live with an inferior device.

Wait, refurb'd pixel 5 go for lile 130 bucks; was that really less than the 7 new? If your carrier gave you a deal, that probably means you're overpaying for your plan.

You can literally see the front end deforming and the front wheels breaking away as the energy is transferred AROUND the passenger compartment and through the truck and to the rear and dissipating. There should be no intrusion into the cabin. There is also no engine in the front to enter into the cabin
