You could just as easily make the argument that cloud is a very natural expansion for Google given their expertise in datacenters and cloud software infrastructure, but they are still behind. Satya absolutely deserves credit for Microsoft&#

Waymo and DeepMind and the TPU program all predate Sundar as CEO. IMO Google should have invested more in Waymo and scaled sooner. Instead they partnered with traditional automakers and rideshare companies, sought outside investment, and pr

Microsoft has become a lot more friendly to open source under Satya. VSCode, GitHub, and WSL happened during his tenure, and probably wouldn't have happened under Ballmer. Turning the ship from a focus on protecting platform lock-in to

Like Ballmer, he was set up for success by his predecessor(s), and didn't derail strong growth in existing businesses but made huge fumbles elsewhere. The question is, who is Google's Satya Nadella? Demis?

Interesting, but the documentation makes it sound like you have to preemptively wrap all the code you think you might want to change in a special wrapper "call" function. If true that makes this a lot less appealing than existing

I agree that 'cybercab' and 'robotaxi' are similar names, but what ulterior motive would it serve to intentionally confuse people about the difference? Seems like it's just bad naming. Cybercab isn't late or an

Marc Levoy is an "engineer"? Sure, but maybe more relevant is the fact that he's a well-known computer graphics researcher and professor emeritus at Stanford.

Yes, Waymo did have safety drivers back when they first started service. But they were in the driver's seat instead of the passenger seat. Having employees in the car at the very beginning seems prudent. These are regular Model Ys stra

Is there no transparent substance that is gel-like for a period of time before it cures solid so that the pieces can simply be suspended in it and nudged to their final positions manually? Like a gel suspension 3D printer but where the gel

I love my car and I support congestion pricing. It makes my car nicer to drive and more useful when I can get places faster, when I need to.

The problem with Google's robotics acquisitions was that they fired Andy Rubin less than a year after he made them. They floundered after that. It's clear that Google's management simply didn't have the patience to conti

It's very silly that Docker didn't work this way to start with. Thank you, it looks cool!

The amazing thing about JPEG is people are still squeezing out backwards compatible compression improvements 30 years later. Mozjpeg is well known by now, but Jpegli was just published last year and does even better at high bitrates[1]. It&

It's simply less expensive in most cases to cache the results of rendering when you render the same glyph over and over. GPUs are fast but not infinitely fast, and they are extremely good at sampling from prerendered textures. Also it&

The 3 and Y were not just Tesla's most successful products, the Y was literally the most successful product in the entire vehicle industry. They never had a dashboard display and they always had a touchscreen as the primary interface.

I wouldn't trust a general LLM trained on reddit and 4chan (literally!) to run `rm` on my machine. But I would absolutely trust a purpose-built model trained on hundreds or thousands of years of data for a specific task. Models trained

I'm 100% with you on Elon crying wolf. But it's not really relevant. What they've achieved with FSD 13 is really quite amazing. Given how fast AI is advancing, is it so hard to believe that a system to drive cars using camera

The video of swerving into a tree was caused by the driver turning the wheel and disengaging FSD. It's clear and unambiguous in the crash report data. You should check the news sources you're relying on. What ultimately matters is

This take makes zero sense. Central touchscreen, minimalist design, and and no dashboard display has been the design since the Model 3 first came out. None of that changed. It didn't stop the Model Y from becoming the best selling vehi
