I love the style of these. Know of anything similar at a lower price point?

You're right, a human driver might not have remained in place. And as a result they would have risked further injury or death.

"“When it comes to someone pinned beneath a vehicle, the most effective way to unpin them is to lift the vehicle,” Sgt. Kathryn Winters, a spokesperson for the department, said in an interview. Were a driver to move a vehicle with a person lying there, “you run the risk of causing more injury.”"[0]

What makes you think the government would be qualified to issue tests? 40k+ human-caused automobile deaths per year would suggest they are pretty awful at judging human driving ability. Not to mention these companies have more rigorous internal safety tests than the government would ever be able to come up with.

Frustrating to always see events involving AVs, whether or not they're at fault, be reported as news.

Would love to see Cruise/Waymo publish data on accident frequency by their vehicles vs. human drivers in SF.

Yeah, he's explaining how you would create the base model, which is actually one of the more straightforward parts given that they've published their architecture (though I'm sure they've withheld a bit of their special sauce).

In reality, putting aside the millions of $$ needed to pay for the GPUs to train the model, the complexity actually lies in the training data acquisition/cleaning and the infrastructure needed to harness the 1000s of GPUs to train it in a remotely reasonable timeframe.

That being said there are a number of companies (Google, AI21, Cohere, and probably others) who have successfully created large language models like GPT3, so it's definitely not impossible when you have the resources.

Yeah I agree the contradictions aren’t a great look. FWIW I generally think he’s been pretty unhinged lately.

Was mostly just commenting that I think doxxing the live location of a prominent & controversial figure is a reasonable line to draw.

True, but the account significantly lowers the bar to finding that information, making it much more likely someone who wishes to do harm could act on it.

I actually think this is reasonable. The account was broadcasting his live location at any given point in time and there's a strong argument it presented a legitimate safety risk given so many people's hatred towards him.

It's also hard to say he's banning free speech against himself when it feels like half of twitter is anti-Elon sentiment these days.

It can be preferable because RSU's typically have a basis that reflects the price of the stock at the time they're granted. So if you're granted $100k in RSU's per year at year 0, and the price of the stock doubles by year 1, you'll actually receive $200k worth of stock.
