Totally agree. I'm really sad to see Tesla jump the gun on this one and claim they have "autopilot". It seems similar to the debate around landing New Shepard / Falcon 9, except here the false claims and half-baked imple

The value/policy model includes a few hundred thousand amateur games, and a few hundred million games of self-play. Once AlphaGo beat Fan Hui those would have been games of self-play versus the equivalent of a professional. So overfitt

SWE in MTV - I'm in at 9:00am, out at 4:00pm 3 days a week. 2 hours on the bus, I might get an hour of work done. Once a week I do 10:30am to 7:00pm (team meeting and game night - dinner on campus). About once a week I do 10:30am to 4:
