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 dismal engineering and sales?

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 you forced yourself to go on a million dates and were super

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 regulations on pollution.

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 clothes and shelter and some help getting a job. They want to liv

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 seems beyond hyperbolic.

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 it. E.g., walkable and lively neighborhoods, access to parks,

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 focused on the wrong product with x86 CPUs (AMD). Never mind al

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 training on Google hardware. The important thing for Apple

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 platform owners where you have most of your digital life in al

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 forward to this becoming ubiquitous. Time and time again we’ve

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 their more product-focused visions. More than that, it looks

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 if OpenAI is seen as a funding risk?

by TechnicolorByte 3y ago
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 alternatively: that the current board won’t step down) then wh

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 the term “socialized,” I guess the question still stands: how

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 really matter as long as there’s a guarantee of free-a

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

We’re most of those groups (political, singles meetup) hosted on the Meetup app? Curious because I also need to try more of that.

Fairly relatable other than the fact that I wouldn’t consider myself an extrovert. I’m mostly WFH. Late 20s, single, don’t really have strong connections locally. Moved to SF a few years (COVID times…) which is a terrible time to move to a

I’ve always wondered why there aren’t better ways to prevent ad blockers (not that I’d want that) and embedding ads directly in a video stream seems like it’d be easy and completely unskippable. Especially useful for livestream content like

Such a shame what’s become of Reddit. Such an excellent resource for knowledge on niche topics and especially good for buying recommendations. But worse then these ad changes and the API changes forcing off 3rd party apps has been the incre
