Maybe it depends on how you define "full" self-driving. Is it full if it works only for the scenarios it was designed? Are you working full time if you only work 30 hours a week?

It's not new. A paper in 2021 [0] showed you can train a quadruped robot to walk in minutes using parallel simulation in GPU, and then deploy it on the physical robot. Being parallel it is faster, and more so if on GPU. But sim-to-re

There is also Voxel Transformer [0] for doing 3D object detection. It seems to score high but at a longer inference time penalty. I haven't heard if such models are being used in real world applications yet. [0] https://pa

SBF seems to have claimed that funds sent to Alameda were loans. Can he do that here too (even if accounting was sloppy)? If so how does that differ from what other financial institutions do, unless it is in the degree of leverage and ris
