And Google has TPUs that can compete with Nvidia, but they want to hoard it all and don't want to sell outside of GCP. How well Nvidia can hold its current valuation depends on how useful the new AI/LLM ecosystem will become. Just

OP talks about having fun 8 hours a day at work, building friendships and social life with coworkers. Your idea of social mechanisms for productivity are valid, but I don’t think that’s what OP meant.

I'm quite content with social life outside of work, so I don't really feel the need to "have fun" with coworkers during working hours. Maybe it's just my personality and I realize others may have different needs. I

That’s only the case if you solely rely on co-workers for friendships. The key is having a social life outside of work. Personally, I’ve never felt the need to be friends with my coworkers, so WFH isn’t really changing that equation for me.

Cherry picking from raw data of 1000+ crashes? Yeah, you're not here for a good faith discussion after vehemently asking for sources and assuming "confusion and obfuscation". You just want to shout down "I declare this d

In my local coffee shop, I get black tea with steamed milk (called chai tea). They also sell masala chai, which is the above + spices added. Starbucks uses chai tea and chai tea latte to mean something else. Some grocery stores (Trader Joe&

How is chai tea used differently in America then? If I ask for it in a coffee shop, I usually get chai (tea) with steamed milk, which is exactly what the original usage is.
314.
by ra7 3y ago
That’s not a given in many coffee shops. Adding spices makes it “masala chai”, which some sell as a separate drink. Some don’t put spices and call it “chai latte”. So the usage is all over the place.

Chai means (Indian) tea with milk. It’s a borrowed term in English that already includes the meaning. Just like you don’t use “yoga exercise” in English because yoga already means a form of exercise. Or the usage of “karma” in English. You

Purists like me would object to Chai being referred to its redundant form Chai Tea :)

Then please tell us how crash ratings of a vehicle is helpful in assessing FSD performance. The entire discussion is of who is responsible for causing the crash. Automated system collisions are counted regardless of severity.

You’re making an entirely irrelevant point. They’d fare better if they were in a bus too. We’re talking about cause of the accident here, not what happens after one.

> what data do you need to determine how much more unsafe Teslas are compared to humans? Tesla should start by first reporting disengagement data to CA DMV like every other self driving company. It shows FSD's rate of progress. Then

I said they are not safer than humans like Tesla likes to claim. The methodology is extremely dubious and it’s very easy to debunk it for anyone with a basic understanding of statistics. You claim it’s true because have anecdotes and person

by ra7 3y ago
Precisely what I expected from you. You’re exactly Tesla’s target audience. The irony and projection in your comment is comical. “It’s safer than humans.” “Proof?” “Just look around, bro. Trust me, it’s good enough. No data needed.” Thankfu

by ra7 3y ago
No one can tell with a wreck if FSD was active or not. No shit, no one can point you to actual evidence because Tesla doesn’t release any data. You realize what a ridiculous, circular argument you’re making, right? It’s telling that you wan

There's more statistics in your comment than in the Tesla safety report :) I'm curious where the data is about their telemetry systems' failure to detect incidents. It seems very fishy.

Because they are validated extensively inside that geofence and any operations inside that area are "supported". They don't let the vehicles go anywhere they want and they don't ever allow you to use it in an unsupported

Their safety report is a joke and their methodology is full of holes. There are a bunch of replies to this comment that explain why: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39359437 As far as proving how unsafe it is, no one c
