AI is also helping us pay that debt off too. Going to be a bumpy ride, but we'll come out much stronger assuming we get through it!

We run a platform that serves models from many of the frontier players to power conversations and workflows. Gemini flash-2.5 was a game changer for us when it came out. Cheap, fast, and reliable.

We are now considering dropping support for the model family all together. All of their models require significant scrubbing of errant thinking blocks, inner monologues, and it's consuming more engineering resources than it's worth.

Does this mean that when you disable, all labels are deleted, and when you turn it back on it has to re-scan all of your photos? Could this be a cost-saving measure?

That sounds really cool. The background does provide a lot of perspective on your views. It makes a lot of sense. Thank you for keeping us safe on the road!

Out of curiosity, have you ever attempted to create something from scratch and bring it to market? Not as an employee, but as someone trying to figure it out?

Your work history will impact the way you view this issue IMO.

Definitely agree! It's just strange seeing Devoret without Schoelkopf!

The company would have more cash in the bank when he exercises those options.

They also wouldn't have to pay to create a new pay package to replace the voided one. This process is surprisingly expensive to create and implement a CEO pay package.

There were more reasons that shareholders voted for the package in the revote, but omitting others as I don't think they are related to financials

As of December 31st, 2024, Tesla has around $17b in cash and cash equivalents, $122b in assets, and $49b in liabilities

It doesn't seem likely the government will have to bail them out.

This is a great point. I often ask LLMs which coding language they are most proficient in, and Python is the most typical response. This has makes me want to write more Python.

reminds me of cookie clicker!

Wow that must have been a wild experience 10 years ago!

Today, I think they should do this. It is rare I need to touch the wheel or pedal these days and people should experience it.

I love the tesla service. Bought my car without talking to a single sales person, they come to my home to rotate my tires on my schedule. Only complaint is cosmetic service tends to have a long appointment wait time, but things like a cracked windshield were immediately serviced.

I don't know how I will switch to another car brand after this.

I met julian touring UCSB as perspective grad students. We sat together at dinner and he was really smart, kind, and outgoing. Great to see him presenting this work!

TLDR They drove down narrow 1-lane streets and had to disengage once. While this sounds quite impressive, the article spends a lot of time focused on fear of FSD. There's even a hypothetical comment that he will surely be hit by an FSD enabled car.
