That source isn't even able to directly lay out the claim, it spends 5 paragraphs IMPLYING Krugman changed his position for hand-wavy political reasons.

But lacks any direct evidence that he actually did so. It misquotes things and really grasps at straws to make a point, holy moly.

It's so disingenuous lmao.

Landlords are the least productive class in society, and it's not even close in terms of ranking.

>choose those who have graduated from tier-1 institutions. University degrees mean nothing at the end of the day.

It means everything for YC's model.

YC does not care about the software.

They care about the founders.

YC's model and ecosystem is explicitly designed to be a who's who club of interconnected founders that are very, very encouraged to """rely""" on each other when building their companies.

YC uses a lot of double speak regarding this ecosystem, but if you explained the concept to a layman on the street they'd tell you exactly what this concept is in just a very few, very blunt words.

Elite-class founders and lots of cheap, imported, or "passionate" labor.

Let's get real here folks.

This thread is going to use very dressed up and lofty language discussing the issue, in order for the express purpose of dancing around the fundamental issue here.

Y Combinator as a concept, and all of its "children" are rotten to the core.

Every single company is "evil" in some form, and not in the usual "private companies are big baddies" kind of way. They grossly and recklessly violate laws and ethical boundaries day in and day out.

The sooner people are even willing to entertain this, the sooner we can have actual conversation around these issues.

What is there to learn? If anything developers are still the one's training and enhancing the models by giving them more feedback cycles and what works and what doesn't.

You are misusing some of those words and I'm not even sure how to interpret them even with a hefty dose of good-faith reading.

The report is not premature and it's not premature to comment on them.

Can you clearly and explicitly state why you feel like the report or the commentary is premature?

It's not premature. Every single expert in this field has warned about these issues since even ~2012 days when these types of platforms were being publicly discussed.

This is an expected and understood result given the hardware and software involved.

You will not get past these issues without a RADICAL improvement in camera technology paired with specialized, dedicated processing hardware matched against several (and I mean several several) "common" environment profiles.

FSD is a scam. It's not safe. It is not technically sound.

The fact that there aren't many more accidents with the system is a by product of consistent and well thought out road standards, car standards, other safety systems present on cars, and driver education.

lol at the parent comment being flagged.

Being factual is really problematic on this site, ain't it?

I think this perspective has resolutely been debunked at this point.

The government has historically, routinely, consistently, solved problems more complex than cloud computing.

The only way you'd think otherwise is if you had some other motivation to pretend otherwise... some sort of ideology.

Nope. It's definitely directed at the comment employing troll truisms.

Trying to masquerade your motivations with words that mean something is a trick as old as time, but this one is pretty blatant ;).

If you're capable of doing it, take a step back and reevaluate yourself. But something tells me you're not.

How dishonest or stupid do you have to be to make this comment?

Basically a reflection of the average intelligence in the U.S.
