How’s that 2016 promise of LA to NYC autonomous driving goal going for Musk? Or his Cybercab venture going? And the decision to not use LIDAR in his vehicles? Or the Cybertruck’s d…

Can you expand on what types of uncomfortableness you faced and what you mean by effort (to the point of bewildering people)? Curious what worked for you. Not sure if you just mean…

Can anyone recommend a technical overview describing the design decisions PyTorch made that led it to win out?

Embarrassing comment. This current administration and its supporters most definitely does not agree on several of your points, in particular on sustainable sources of energy and re…

Plenty of them here before the election. Wish they’d speak up more now and explain how any of these policies are objectively good for the US economy and US citizens.

Reopen mental institutions and enable forced is institutionalization. Engage this at the federal level. So sick of this crap. These “homeless” are not the kind who need clean cloth…

Happy New Years, y’all! Curious to hear if anyone has any specific goals/resolutions/things they’re especially looking forward to in 2025.

Comparing X, which is one company (with a far reduced headcount and much smaller revenues compared to pre-Elon) in a tech hub city to an entire oil industry in an oil-rich state se…

If you enjoy being bored to death, perhaps. Somehow I think the group of people who choose to live in SF have particular interests and desired amenities that make high rent worth i…

Seems silly. Nvidia focused on the market several years ago while other players fumbled the bag with multiple startup buyouts and no coherent execution plan (Intel) or were too foc…

As I understand, many people in Apple’s ML org come from Google. So there’s a bias to use Google software and hardware. Moreover, there’s probably a deal that Apple extracted to do…

Have to say, I was thoroughly impressed by what Apple showed today with all this Personal AI stuff. And it proves that the real power of consumer AI will be in the hands of the pla…

SpaceX didn’t start from scratch. Their initial designs were based on NASA designs. Stop perpetuating the “genius engineer” myth around Elon Musk.

Had the same thought. Seems like we’re entering the era of generative AI and mixed reality in a very real way very soon. As much as I love the technology, I’m really not looking fo…

Any specifics you can describe or somewhere to read about this?

Incredible how much has changed in one weekend… or not? Confused what this really means. So Microsoft still has access to OpenAI’s pre-AGI tech that Sam and Greg can leverage for t…

Even if you don’t believe many employees would consider leaving for Altman, I find it probable that many would consider leaving for financial reasons. What will their PPUs be worth…

I still cannot process what’s happened to one of the most prominent and hyped companies of the past year in just one weekend. If it’s true that Altman won’t return to OpenAI (or al…

Very useful comment, thanks. I’ll need to read up a Wikipedia article to get the details but the emphasis on price controls is noteworthy. Besides my lazy and misleading usage of t…

So what are practical solutions for the US? The rest of the developed world has already shown that socialized medicine is the only way. Details like private/public mix or not don’t…

There it is: the least charitable comment I’ve ever come across on HN.

Any insight into what those design mistakes are?
