I now live in a "western" country and I have CGNAT. It is extremely common here. On the other hand, my ISP (largest provider in the country), in a "developing" country, gave me a public IP so I think there are more moving parts.

> A lot of us are preconditioned from birth to trust our clinicians.

As a Asian, this is really fascinating to me. We, in general, are conditioned exactly the opposite. We don't trust our doctors, govt or anyone other than our immediate family. Taking a second opinion is just normal. As someone who now lives in the "west", and is now taking a second opinion for a condition, my doctor here was almost offended when I asked for a copy of my results in order to take a second opinion.

2013-2025 and only 2 linked to FSD ? The rest are human errors ? FSD sounds better than human drivers just going by that data. How many people have, for example, BMW killed in 12 years ?

If your boss is not able to back you up for something like this, it's time to change job.

It's also geeks and engineers using these models and being the most vocal. We always think we're special and need the extra horsepower. Ever been on one of those home lab subreddits ? Same story.

Tesla is still doing that. The CEO is a shithead but that's a different matter.

That's such a cynical take. If everyone does what you're describing, we will never make progress as a society.

I think you're doing it wrong. Use the frontier moddels for the research, planning etc and once you have a plan give it to a local model for implementation.

I think they're at that stage where people know they want it so lack of a trial isn't a deal breaker per se.

They use claude code to code it. Makes sense

I don't think it's even a broad strategy from PM or higher ups. I actually think it's engineers inside the company who want to play with the coolest hardware and the build features for the newest stuff. Features can be made to work with older hardware but that requires more time and optimization which they never get, so someone takes a call that x and y features only work on newer gen hardware.

I think it's a bit of both and perhaps 10% AI. Companies like Block are bloated for what they offer.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but it will happen sooner or later.
