very bad take. with most modern multomodal models you get way better performance then going to text first

FWIW: A few nearby towns that are supposed to have good schools: Castro Valley, Albany, Alameda.

I’ve noticed that people in my field tend to have relatively similar personalities and relatively similar MB categories (close to INTJ). That combo is relatively rare within the broader population. Given this consistency I don’t think we can say it’s pseudoscience in a strong sense.

It’s as if the body of human knowledge is our I’ve mind. It used to be expensive to access that, but no more.

Tesla self driving works. I don’t know if Karpathy deserves credit for that or not.

Tesla self driving kind of works. In a very similar way to how it kind of worked back in 2016. It's better than it was in 2016, don't get me wrong. But even today they haven't solved the problem and Karpathy left in 2022. And other companies notably have actually surpassed Tesla over that time. I don't think anyone could reasonably say he walked away in 2022 because he thought the job was finished.

Who surpassed Tesla that doesn't operate in some very limited region?

Waymo 70k driverless rides a day.

Apollo Go 100k driverless rides a day.

Tesla 0-5? driverless rides a day.

Yes, no driver needed at all. Your Tesla makes money for you while you sleep at home.

Worldwide poverty rate in 1800 = 81%. Today under 10%.

Hmm I also tend to clean house thoroughly only when guests come over. Perhaps an effect that should be applied.

Never saw that AGM expression for K0 before in the earlier linked post. Nor had I heard of the AGM, very cool.

Alexander the Great (died 323 bc) famously kept a copy of the Iliad under his pillow.

That's how I learned Calculus.

By keeping a copy of the Iliad under your pillow?

Because alexander the great kept a copy of the illiad under his pillow
