I mean they may be working around the clock, but after 5 or 6 layoffs in 3 years… half their engineers are probably still learning the code base.

Well, recently in Austin Waymo cars blocked emergency services during a mass shooting event.

That may be causing other cities some caution.

> It’s a machine run on actuarial tables and its calculations are telling insurers that they’ll probably have to pay out a damage claim if they cover a Tesla EV.

How is something as recent as this already affecting interest rates? If this is true, then only negative short term trends can have such an effect. Otherwise I would expect rates to lower just as quickly when public ire moves onto the next outrage generator.

Have you considered selling fake moon landing content to conspiracists as a side hustle?

Depends on use case. Hybrid approaches have been dominating the M-Competitions, but there are generally small percentage differences in variance of statistical models vs machine learning models.

And exponentially higher cost for ML models.

I'm steeped in bias on this one, but overall this is not a surprise. The stock has been trading sub $1 for a while and there has been very little positive coverage of the company in recent months.

The only deal they had in the works was speculated to be with Nissan and that fell through. Although a successful deal with Nissan would've made me even less optimistic after reading about their mandate to cut new build costs by 30%.

Actually faster here to dial the non-emergency. I once called 911 because a 7 year old child approached me at a gas station asking for money. I was put on hold. When I called the non-emergency I got through right away. The cherry on top was when I received a callback from 911 dispatch over an hour later to check if I was okay.

It was interesting to me that OpenAI admitted (according to the article) that they used Bibliotik to train the models.

I love the Y2K disclosure. I was a kid at the time so all I remember are the stickers on everything.

I've never wanted to downvote comments on YC more than this thread.
