Yes the comma two https://comma.ai/shop/products/comma-two-devkit . If you have a newer Honda, Toyota etc. you can try it in real life ! Won't be working on your Aviato car, I am sorry :)

But please don't try it on a real road. Find a spot where it can't endanger fellows. It's possible to find those places.

There's hundreds of people using these on public roadways. Check out the official Discord and the various Community Discords centered around it.

Comma.ai which is used in the demo is a for-profit company that makes a sellable product.

There's plenty of hackers working on bringing this to old vehicles. One guy got it working on his old VW Vanagon/Syncro. https://github.com/Lukilink/openpilot/blob/071_OC_WATER/READ...

Not sure why you need to put down entrepreneurs while praising this kid. Hacking a company together is really hard. Like tech hacking, it requires intelligence, creativity, and persistence. There's no reason we can't read about and respect both on this site.

The concern is in the appropriation of the term 'hacker'. He's not putting anything or anyone down, he's saying that this is hacking, and MBA posts of acronym soup aren't. I think his implied conclusion is probably wrong-ish (both are arguably right for HN, even if I vastly prefer this), but he's right in that this is hacking.

One could argue WeWork hacked unicorns.

And to me this is the essence of hacking and hacker culture, not “how do I create MVP from my idea and become an entrepreneur” or “this and that in company XYZ” mindset. So glad to see people doing silly things that in fact require skill. This is why I come to hackernews. Keep up great work with this wonderful attitude!

Startup culture is basically the opposite of hacker culture. As kick hints to, the term has been appropriated. This site has been dubiously hackish from the start.

What ever happened to the OpenAI/universe GTA sandbox? Is there any reason Rockstar shouldn’t support research using their game?

They got a cease and desist from the publisher [1]. The broad reasons are given in the article, but it's pretty much what you would imagine, IP issues. Also OpenAI seem to have taken down all their blog pages mentioning it without notice.. . Some are archived luckily [2].

I understand that they have to comply with regulations, however I was a bit disappointed that they weren't transparent about it.

Hacking together a product takes intelligence, creativity and persistence. Hacking together a company takes empathy, honesty, respect, humility, etc. It's about the people and building a team. I don't associate this with "hacking" at all.

not 12. 15

I'm still jealous. At 15 I had a 10 MB hard drive and 4 color graphics available to me. While I am happy about who I am, I do wish sometimes my childhood had better technology available.

Frankly I think if I'd had better technology as a child I'd be even more content-addicted and boredom-averse than I am now. At least the way I am I can make it through a wedding without checking my phone.

It's impossible to say without trying it, and we never did. (Edit: actually I remember a conversation with pg where he said he did experiment with it, but dropped it. I don't remember why though. Maybe I'll ask.) You could make the opposite argument: the "right kind of stories" includes being unpredictable ( https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... ), so up-weighting votes from users who are go…

I'm up-flagging the up-flag idea.

It's fun to think of what a good name for it might be. The word "exalt" occurred to me at one point.
