On an entirely silly tangent. It's a bit of a shame that Karpathy stopped working at Tesla. Just because having a guy named Karpathy working on car pathing was such a great example of nominative determinism.
- 0xdeadbeefbabe 4y agoNonfiction for the win.
- BulgarianIdiot 4y agoDo you believe in nominative determinism? It's an interesting concept with gigantic implications.
- nealabq 4y agoDo you? Does your username have deterministic implications? Or aspirational?
- BulgarianIdiot 4y agoHaha, both!
- xyzelement 4y agoNot the person you are replying to, but I do (but didn't know the term, thank you!) I find that teams and products with negative pun acronyms fail for example. I find that the trend of the name Lilith being popular correlates with abortion rates (in the bible, Lilith killed unborn babies) etc etc etc

- layer8 4y agoMaybe Tesla should relocate their research center to the Carpathians.
- edanm 4y agoOn an even sillier tangent, it's a shame that Karpathy stopped making YT videos on how to speed-solve a Rubik's cube. I learned most of what I know from him, many years ago :)
