They went from losing ~$160K per vehicle in Q2 2022 to $32K in Q2 2023. So at this pace, they could break-even within the next 2 or 3 quarters.

Rivian actually had a really good quarter. They're still losing $32K per vehicle but this number has been coming down substantially every quarter so the margins are improving and they're almost at a break-even. Nikola secured a gr

I guess the author did make a complete explanation when they mentioned arrays of floating point numbers representing connections. I just thought there was more to it that was omitted. This seems like a relatively simple solution which simul

Can anyone give a layman's rundown on "it guesses the next token" in situations where it's seemingly able to apply what looks like logic to certain prompt requests?

I don't think anyone's taking a soldering iron to their on-board computer in a standard ICE vehicle. The fact that tesla has vehicle control code running on it (beyond your typical lane assist) makes this infinitely worse. Or am I

What's the point switching from Twitter to this? Threads looks like a carbon copy without all of the engaging conversations, monetization and with all of the same censorship problems.

I haven't had an SO account in over a decade. In fact I had mine deleted per my request circa 2010 and it was Jeff Atwood himself who was handling that request. I still have that email interaction with him somewhere in my inbox :)

Humorously, in my experience, if a response from ChatGPT ever got classified as AI generated by tools like ZeroGPT or similar, all I had to do was adjust the prompt to tell the model not to sound like it was AI generated and that bypassed a

Doesn't matter. The database still is on a public subnet on customer's network. All it takes is for someone to jack up some kind of white list or access rule and the entire database is exposed. It's an attack vector. You can&

There is a giant pension fund in Canada which had $150M locked up in Celsius earn. We're talking actual professional fund managers who thought it was a good opportunity. The grift was good and it was probably more massive than FTX.
