Tesla is reportedly strengthening its existing partnership with Samsung, as it gears up for its Full Self Driving (FSD) Computer 2.

A report by The Korea Economic Daily says Samsung Electronics Co. will manufacture the chips used in Tesla’s next-generation Hardware 4 computer, also known as the FSD Computer 2.

This next-generation hardware is set to ship in the forthcoming Cybertruck electric ute that won’t start production until late 2022, according to the Tesla website.

A source says Samsung is expected to commence production of the Hardware 4 computer in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The existing Hardware 3 computer used in Tesla vehicles is already produced by Samsung.

The South Korean tech giant reportedly beat out rival chip manufacturer, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), to attain a contract allowing it to continue producing the chips for Tesla.

“Tesla and Samsung’s foundry division have been working on the design and samples of the chip from the start of this year,” a source told The Korea Economic Daily.

“Recently, Tesla decided to outsource the [Hardware 4] self-driving chip to Samsung. It’s virtually a done deal.”

Tesla reportedly decided to choose Samsung to produce its new chip after considering factors such as production costs, long-term cooperation, and the availability of Samsung technology.

These chips will be mass produced at Samsung’s Hwasung plant and are said to use a 7-nanometre semiconductor processing technology.

Less advanced than 5-nanometre processing, Samsung and Tesla agreed to use the tried-and-tested 7-nanometre processing to ensure higher production yields and stable functionality of the chips.

In August 2021 Musk boasted on Twitter that Tesla is aiming for its self-driving technology to be 1000 per cent safer than the average human driver.

It’s amazing by most standards, but we are aiming for 1000% safer than the average human driver

This new Tesla FSD Computer 2 will eventually replace the existing FSD Computer 1 used in the Model S, Model X and Model 3.

It is uncertain whether there will be delays in producing these chips, but around the globe there is a shortage of semiconductor chips.

Tesla recently allowed more US owners to opt into the company’s FSD beta program.

These customers are required to go through and pass a series of driving behaviour tests over seven days before being able to access the beta feature.

The US military said it had an “in-depth” dialogue with Beijing, reiterating that it remains committed to regional allies amid ongoing enmity over a new security pact between the US, the UK and Australia designed to counter China.

“The two sides held a frank, in-depth, and open discussion on a range of issues affecting the US-PRC defense relationship,” Pentagon Spokesperson Lt. Col. Martin Meiners said in a statement on Wednesday, using an acronym for the People’s Republic of China.

He called the meeting “an important component” in Washington’s efforts to “responsibly manage the competition between the US and the PRC.”

Both sides reaffirmed consensus to keep communication channels open. The US side also made clear our commitment to uphold shared principles with our allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region.

The statement broke with the more aggressive anti-Beijing rhetoric common from US officials as of late, and comes during a major diplomatic row over a newly inked trilateral security deal between Washington, London and Canberra, dubbed “AUKUS.” The pact will see Australia acquire nuclear-powered submarines from the United States – enraging France, which had already struck a multi-billion dollar contract with the Aussies for French diesel-powered subs. And while no nation was named as a target for the new Indo-Pacific alliance, anonymous White House officials deemed the pact “another move by Western allies to push back on China’s rise in the military and technology arenas” in comments to Politico earlier this month.

China, for its part, has condemned the AUKUS arrangement as “extremely irresponsible,” saying plans to arm Australia with nuclear-powered subs “seriously undermines regional peace and stability,” and could even fuel an “arms race” in the Indo-Pacific

In addition to the new security alliance – which is separate from the four-member ‘Quad’ bloc, another body created to counter China – Beijing and Canberra have sparred over a number of other issues in recent months, namely related to trade.

During a recent interview, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison claimed that his country would favor more dialogue with Beijing, but China is simply not interested in doing the same. Responding to those remarks the next day, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said the current diplomatic troubles were “entirely of Australia’s own making.”

“Whether Australia is sincere about improving and developing relations with China, or it does the opposite to what it says – or even goes so far as to blatantly stab China in the back – China has its own judgement,” Hua said, urging Australia to make up its mind as to whether it views Beijing as a friend or an enemy.

It is imperative that Australia face up to the crux of the setbacks in bilateral relations, and earnestly think about whether China is seen as a partner or a threat.

It was only a matter of time. There are two decades' worth of mods for the original Diablo 2, and plenty of reasons to start tinkering with Diablo 2: Resurrected beyond its graphical overhaul and shared inventories. The mods that have started appearing on NexusMods and ModDB are doubtless only the beginning.

There are difficulty tweaks like Enemy Multiplier, which lets you increase the number of monsters by anywhere from double to 10 times as many, and Lower Resist, which replaces elemental immunities on Nightmare and Hell difficulties with resistances. D2R Drop Mod and Guaranteed Drop Mod both let you mess with drop rates, the former increasing the likelihood of getting good loot from tough enemies, while the latter just makes every single enemy drop something. Splash Damage to Melee makes nearby enemies take half the damage you're dealing. Hide Helmet, well, that one hides your helmet.

Better SP is full of quality-of-life improvements like increased inventory and stash size, faster walking and running (as well as reduced stamina drain), higher stack limits for arrows, bolts, keys, and tomes, higher mana regeneration, Horadric Cube recipes for respec tokens and unsocketing items without losing gems, higher max skill levels, changes to the secret cow level, and more. Sounds great—now if someone could just mod in a decent modern hotbar for using your skills.

Note that most of these mods warn they're intended for offline singleplayer games, and that if you get banned for using them that's tough cookies.

As a videographer, you have a lot of opportunities to make money alongside your mainstream income sources. One of these opportunities is to make money off stock footage. You may be familiar with the concept and may have even thought about giving it a go.

Whatever stopped you back then shouldn’t stand in your way now. Selling stock footage is a great way to help you make some extra bucks! So, it’s time to pull out the best of all those clips sitting in your hard drive and make some money off them. That’s why we’re here to help. We’ll tell you some creative ways to make money off your stock footage. So, let’s get started.

Pick an Out of the Box Niche

Sunrises, waves crashing on the shore, or airplane videos are some of the most commonly found stock videos – unless, of course, you can capture these elements differently. Picking a unique niche and filming it with a fresh, never-like-before perspective is what you need. With it, you’ll set your footage apart from thousands of others out there.

Try to come up with innovative and saleable video concepts. It could be something as simple as filming yourself cooking your breakfast, but with a creative twist of your own. Almost anything and everything that we do in our everyday lives is worth selling as stock footage.

So go out there and shoot videos of anything you feel is worth capturing. The best part about video content is that you don’t even need to step outside – you can capture amazing videos right from the comfort of your home!

Nail the Keyword Game

Your footage may be the best, but it won’t get the visibility it deserves if you don’t have the required keywording skills. With an on-point keywording game, the probability of your footage getting noticed on a stock footage platform is high.

Regardless of the kind of footage you have, you need to use the right set of keywords. A little effort to hone your keywording skills will help you increase your sales. Along with keywords, focus on the perfect title and clear category descriptions to accompany your video.

Leverage Social Media

Apart from stock footage platforms, you can also look for potential buyers on social media platforms. LinkedIn is one of the best platforms to find people who would be interested in purchasing your footage. You can browse LinkedIn and find marketing departments of organizations, producers, or content managers. You’re sure to find a lot of people actively looking to purchase stock footage.

Creating that buzz around your work is something you’d have to do yourself – at least until you are famous enough. For this, you can use Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and other social media platforms to publicize your work. Put out short videos, clips, or snippets of your behind-the-scenes to garner more attention from the audience.

Consistency is the key, so make sure you regularly keep your social media pages updated with fresh content. Social media will not only help you build your network but also your brand. Lastly, honest feedback on these channels would also help you improve your work.

Focus on the Content

In the end, what’s going to help you the most is the quality of your content. So, this is one aspect you shouldn’t compromise on. Perfect footage is what most people out there are looking for – so steer clear of poorly lit scenes, jerky movements, and out-of-focus shots.

Experiment all you can to ensure you have unique content. Capture subjects from different, interesting angles to give potential clients a point of view they’ve never seen before.

Keep in mind the length requirements of stock footage, too. Every platform has slightly varying criteria but keep your video between 5 seconds to 1 minute long. Editing is another important aspect that you cannot compromise on. Use proper editing software to enhance your videos and add to their visual appeal and saleability.

Summing Up

Consistency is essential when it comes to selling stock footage. You may not see results immediately, but over time, with ample time and effort, you will reap the rewards of your hard work. Until then, keep putting out all your creative work out there!
