I don’t think they segregate their training data based on car models. I mentioned in an above comment, but Comma.ai doesn’t do this and their devices support tons of cars. It would be very odd if a company far smaller than Tesla was able to

I have a Comma 3 in my car, and it has a calibration phase that takes like 3 minutes of driving. The device works for many different cars of different sizes, and their driving algorithm uses neural networks. As far as I know you still have

Do you have a PhD in Economics? The author does, so I’m going to take his understanding of it over yours for now. He is fundamentally right that MMT proponents are reluctant to publish models, while proponents of other economic theories are

Simpler is better, so you want to add another sensor that humans don’t have, to do a task that only humans can currently do safely? This makes no sense to me.

MMT is widely regarded as not in agreement with the few things we’re pretty sure we know about economics, and furthermore its proponents generally refuse to publish actual models of the system they propose. Here’s a good examination of an M

Have you considered Fidelity has done more research and knows more about Bitcoin than you? Your judgement that it just “seems bad” is rather shallow when it’s being leveled at a decision made by one of the largest asset managers in the worl

Cashless society is indeed being proposed in the US. During the time when I was in college (at a public university), all university-run businesses switched to cashless. As in, you literally could not pay with cash. They wouldn’t accept it.

I buy that as society becomes more accepting, the prevalence of non-heterosexual and trans people should be expected to increase, but this is a huge confounding variable in figuring out what the natural prevalence of these traits in society

In America, progressives/leftists actually lump in “liberals” as “conservative” now since traditionally “liberal” means support of typical Enlightenment values, democracy, and free market capitalism. But I’ve noticed that people who vo

Yeah, that’s fair, although FSD also goes for $12k right now and you can get the Comma 3 + required car harness for like $2400, so if it’s providing me at least 20% the value of FSD then I’m happy. I’d say it probably gives ~70% of the valu

Comma has really good safety code. ISO26262 compliant, and they use MISRA C guidelines. Hotz talks about safety in the comma.ai discord server all the time, and frequently berates people for requesting unsafe features or making unsafe forks

We don’t at all have evidence that Tesla can’t do Level 5 within the timeframe of this bet. Tesla is the farthest along of anyone who’s trying self-driving. Waymo and Cruise are geofenced, and still don’t work much better than Tesla. Aside
