If you look on their 10-Q/K's, Rivian refers to 'Net Loss' instead of 'Net Income.' The line items can be changed in that way and it still qualifies for GAAP.

You are incorrect. 'Loss' is a perfectly acceptable GAAP term for negative profits on the P&L, it's just that 'Gross Loss' is so rare, nobody really uses it. You can even look at the 10-k and see they say &#x27

>"negative gross profit" ... that is corpspeak for "loss" right? Negative gross profit means they are selling the cars for less than it costs to make them, which is like 'mega-loss.' It's one thing to m

It's a tell of a weak argument to not answer questions directly and instead fear-monger with 'what-ifs.' To answer your question, a nuclear weapon is an extremely complex system with an international supply chain and I think

Wow, what a quick jump to Hitler. I'm curious which military strike to since 1945 has, in your opinion, worked as planned.

The criticism was about the need for a military strike. When the narrative is that violence against you is a joke, it's easy to want to do anti-social/unambiguously bad things to protect yourself. [1] But anyway, you're not s

Sure, but this is a very specific case where you cannot really do that without being completely disingenuous (which to be clear, may be the outcome that happens). You can very easily not send a child to jail (because they have full legal pe

GPT saw a bunch of arithmetic and can repeat it. That’s the joke behind the Reddit usernames and /r/counting. The four digit number thing is just the current lower bound of where it gets confused because a lack of training data. O

The universe contained exactly 0 words until humans created them, so if we are just stringing together words, then how did we make the words?

I think it's even more interesting that these models actually return meaningless vectors that we then translate into text. It makes you think a lot about how human talk. We can't just be probabilistically stringing together word
