Waymo cars can drive. Everything from the (limited) public literature to riding them personally has me totally persuaded that they can drive.
DeepMind RL/MCTS can succeed in fairly open-ended settings like StarCraft and shit.
Brain/DeepMind still knocks hard. They under-invested in LLMs and remain kind of half-hearted around it because they think it’s a dumbass sideshow because it is a dumbass sideshow.
They train on TPU which costs less than chips made of Rhodium like a rapper’s sunglasses, they fixed the structural limits in TF2 and PyTorch via the Jax ecosystem.
If I ever get interested in making some money again Google is the only FAANG outfit I’d look at.
- tylerflick 2y agoI can tell you as someone that crosses paths almost everyday with a Waymo car, they absolutely due work. I would describe their driving behavior as very safe and overly cautious. I’m far more concerned of humans behind the wheel.
- benreesman 2y agoI especially love how they can go fast when it’s safe and slow when the error bars go up even a little. It’s like being in the back seat of Nikki Lauda’s car.

- benreesman 2y agoPerfect clip out of all of YouTube.
- fouronnes3 2y agoDoes Waymo run on JAX?
- KKKKkkkk1 2y agoWhich structural limits of TF2 and PyTorch were fixed via the Jax ecosystem?
- vessenes 2y agoAgreed Waymo cars can drive. Also I don't believe that, say, when a city bus stops on a narrow street near a school crosswalk, that the decision to edge out and around it is made on board the car, as I saw recently. The "car" made the right decision, drove it perfectly, and was safe at all times, but I just don't think anyone but a human in a call center said yes to that.
