Nvidia follows the same strategy because having a large end-to-end model is how you get your customers to buy GPUs with their AI slush fund (and I don't think they limit themselves to vision). His rationale at this point seems to be mo

Of course, it's 4D chess. This was such a genius move that Tesla profits fell 46% last year and they are ending production of their highest-margin vehicles. GM wrote down $4B when they reduced their EV production. Despite that, last y

Just a reminder that Tesla has still not offered driverless robotaxi rides to the public. At this point, it's entirely because Musk refuses to add LIDAR. If he did they could probably be competing with Waymo in a year.

It doesn't help that Musk supported a guy who turned around and gutted the incentives that were helping Tesla turn a profit.

The state police are not for enforcing federal law unless the state wants them to. That's a pretty big part of what makes them STATE police, actually.

The chaos is unavoidable because Trump is a moron. If freedom is an empty phrase to you, it would really explain a lot.

Who the hell is arguing for their immunity? If anyone commits a murder, they should be put in jail. Everyone within the borders of the United States has rights, even if they're here illegally. That's what it means to be a free co

Perhaps if they cannot carry out their goals without hurting people, the answer is "take a step back" and not "hurt people."

This is not a political calculus. Nobody with half a brain believes that Trump's choices are about efficiently deporting people here illegally; they are designed to intimidate and punish his opponents while making the US more authorit

They are not able to enforce their will unchecked. The legislature is more than willing to turn on Trump when he crosses the line, hence the whole idea of "TACO." The fascists haven't won because if they did, they would be k

Fortunately for us (or really unfortunately for us) most of the competent FBI agents have been fired or quit, with the new bar simply being loyalty to the president. The FBI is weak now compared to what it was even two years ago.

Unless they compel people at gunpoint (which prevents the government from bringing a case), they will probably not have much luck with this. As soon as a user sets up a passcode or other lock on their phone, it is beyond the ability of eve

The US lacks political will to support Ukraine (mostly) because it's a conflict ten thousand miles away. Europe should have a much more immediate interest in Ukraine not losing.

Compare the strength of the militaries of Europe with the United States and you'll see how that claim is believable. That's changing, but for many years European nations did not spend very much on their militaries. A large part o

I think that it is reasonable for the magnitude of Chinese subsidies to be cheaper per-car. Even ignoring any arguments about purchasing power and government aid, I would expect China to spend less per-car simply because the foundational t

The US gave $7500 per car sold in the US to any manufacturer, with the "Buy American" restriction added only in the last two years of the policy. I'm also curious to hear your source for the subsidies - from what I can see Ch

To be fair, a big part of why is the magnitude of subsidies China has given its domestic EV suppliers.

The point is that regardless of the size of the company, copyright is such a shitshow that there are only less bad ways of handling it. The only way for a company to guarantee that they never violate copyright law is to do a takedown every
