e.musk reduced factory safety markings because he doesn't like yellow, got rid of forklift beeps because he didn't like the sound, and... paved over his factory's rail instructor because that would be too efficient a way to ship cars? hmbol

From January 2011: Union Pacific buys 160 acres near Tesla auto plant From October 2011: Union Pacific puts 147 acres up for sale next to Fremont’s Tesla factory quote:Union Pacific said Friday it is selling two big chunks of land next to the Tesla Motors (TSLA) plant in Fremont, a decision that bolsters the city’s hopes for a technology-oriented transit village near the factory. So, UP owned the land for less than 12 months before looking to sell it. But the implication seems to me that the city didn't want UP to develop the land. Also there's 13 acres they kept?

how does a process management team look at the glourious windfall of rail access literally on premises, factor that into options for logistics, and come out with the result "Actually, rip it out" Answer: none were consulted Nobody who knew what the gently caress they were doing was asked for an opinion, nonetheless assessments on exactly how business ought to be conducted profitably/efficiently at all

the onion wizard posted:From January 2011: That was new land for UP. It's relevant, but not exactly related to the factory tracks proper getting ripped up. It may have been for an expanded yard there, seeing that UP had a relatively small yard directly adjacent to the factory (almost certainly for empty rack storage).

there’s an email thread at work about their experiences with their Model 3. For every person who says they’ve had no problems, there’s someone who found on delivery that the front USB ports don’t work, there’s a chip/crack in the rear windshield, or there’s a section of the wheel well where they just forgot to paint. About a third of that group is Stockholm-syndromed in and go ‘yeah they’ve got quality issues but every other EV model for sale feels like the manufacturer is ashamed to be making it’

I feel like one good description of the "person so smart that they are amazingly good at making bad decisions" is basically narcissism plus the gap between intelligence and rationality, for which I highly recommend reading Keith Stanovich's "What Intelligence Tests Miss". Long story short, intelligence is real but it is not all that it's knocked up to be: it's a generalized ability to make certain type of mental manipulations of concepts. Rationality is just a different thing from intelligence. Epistemic rationality is about the ability to understand things as they are or as best as possible, given uncertainty etc. Teleological rationality is about the use of decisions and actions to achieve goals. In this framework of describing mental properties and capabilities, we lionize intelligence but what actually gets results is rationality. High intelligence may assist someone in behaving in a rational fashion but there are lots of deeply irrational beliefs and actions that are only possible or only justifiable to an individual if they have the high intelligence needed to jump through the mental hoops, tie themselves in mental knots, etc. Just look at the internet communities that pride themselves on their "rationality" for about 5 minutes and you'll realize 1. they actually pride themselves on their intelligence 2. they have some real problems with epistemic and teleological rationality. e: if intelligence is actually not super helpful, why is it so celebrated in our culture? lazy answer: our school systems kind of suck and basically reward kids for doing well on the equivalent of IQ tests instead of attempting to teach how to understand the world, how to achieve discrete goals, or how to think critically.

seriously "what intelligence tests miss" is really good and, I think, an important explicit framework for describing something that you'll run into pretty drat frequently in a career as a computer janitor, gently caress, almost any kind of knowledge worker. e: lol I guess this means I'm a stanovitch stan

heeeere we go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysrationaliaquote:[T]wo former Illinois schoolteachers who pulled their children from the local public school in the area because discussions of the Holocaust are a part of the history curriculum.[1] These parents, who are presumably competent due to their college education, believe that the Holocaust is a myth and should not be taught to their children. This is an example of a problem in belief formation regardless of intelligence. lmbo @ Canadian Mensa.

So here's what I gathered so far re: UP and Tesla: 1. Union Pacific has a smallish rail yard adjacent to the Fremont factory. This likely was a staging point for empty auto-racks when the rack loading tracks were full, and allows them to build up a full train when the racks are full. This yard appears to still exist, including in relatively recent (2018) photos. 2. The Fremont Tesla Factory has two "yards" in it, one parallel with the UP yard, and one perpendicular to it. The one parallel appears to have been used for moving cars out of "short term storage", as evidenced by the massive parking lot next to it. The one perpendicular probably was used for (pretty much) directly off the factory floor and into the racks loading. I could be wrong here. Google Maps satellite view, for what it's worth:  3. Union Pacific, in anticipation of increased traffic due to increased interest in building the area out as an industrial center, buys a 160 acre parcel of land, presumably to build a second yard for more car storage. 4. UP sells the most of the land off, nearly immediately (and likely before any rail is placed down), for reasons currently unknown. It may have been resistance from the city (in the form of NIMBYs opposed to more trains in the area), butting heads with Tesla's management (Musk, mostly), or realizing it's not a good investment due to any number of reasons (area won't build up as fast as they'd think, not enough potential customers, etc). Reality is it's probably all of the above here. It is unknown what state the remaining 13 acres are in or what UP has done with it if they still own it. 5. The tracks on the Tesla Fremont factory are ripped up. This is a very recent development, given Google Maps shows that the tracks are in place as recent as this year on both satellite and map views (2018). The autorack loading infrastructure is still present in these images, as shown above, both on the tracks that lead into the middle of the property, and the ones on the edge of the property. What is very telling, however, is the lack of autoracks on the middle of property tracks on the satellite views. The adjacent yard seems to be used for storing spare box cars (which aren't used as much with the advent of containers) and refrigerated cars. There appear to no autoracks there. It is unknown if the track was owned by UP or Tesla, as there is a fence with a gate crossing right where the tracks were started to be ripped up. You can make out the gate just to the right of the loading yard on the bottom of the image (it's the black line crossing the tracks). So I look forward to finding out more about this, because this is intriguing. iospace fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Sep 12, 2018 |
