Tesla’s record deliveries in Q2 were driven by price cuts and are already priced into its stock, short seller Jim Chanos says

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, sustainability, transportation

Tesla delivered upwards of 466,000 vehicles in the second quarter — 20,000 more than Wall Street’s consensus forecast of about 446,000, it revealed on Sunday. Jim Chanos waved away the strong showing on Twitter, saying it was fueled by price cuts and firmly priced into Tesla’s current valuation.

“Again, ‘blown away’ is a 4% beat on deliveries with huge price cuts? The $800B valuation might just be discounting that…$TSLA,” he tweeted about Elon Musk’s electric-vehicle company.

“Is ‘massive’ 4% for a stock at 10x revenues…? Shouldn’t a company trading at that valuation always exceed expectations? $TSLA,” the short seller wrote in a second tweet.

Human Hand Scents: A Novel Tool for Sex Prediction

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, sex

Summary: A new study reveals that the composition of scent compounds on a person’s hand can accurately determine their sex.

The analysis, using mass spectrometry, successfully predicted an individual’s sex with an impressive accuracy rate of 96.67%. In criminal investigations, this could provide valuable trace evidence where other discriminative evidence like DNA is lacking.

Sun unleashes powerful solar flare strong enough to cause radio blackouts on Earth

Posted by in category: space

The sun emitted a solar flare this week that was strong enough to cause radio blackouts on Earth — and it reportedly did.

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which showed a bright flash in the top right area of the sun. The flare was classified as a X1.0 flare, which means it is in the most intense class of flares, according to the agency.

The flare peaked at 7:14 p.m. Eastern Time on July 2, NASA said. It erupted from a sunspot that is seven times the width of Earth, according to Space.com, a website that chronicles news and events in space.

Eric Schmidt: This is how AI will transform the way science gets done

Posted by in categories: climatology, robotics/AI, science

Usual weather prediction systems have the capacity to generate around 50 predictions for the week ahead. FourCastNet can instead predict thousands of possibilities, accurately capturing the risk of rare but deadly disasters and thereby giving vulnerable populations valuable time to prepare and evacuate.

The hoped-for revolution in climate modeling is just the beginning. With the advent of AI, science is about to become much more exciting—and in some ways unrecognizable. The reverberations of this shift will be felt far outside the lab; they will affect us all.
