If Lidar sees geometry, the camera sees colours, not semantics as well. The expression "technical debt" makes no sense. You are well articulated but not convincing unfortunately. Lidar comes in where video is not enough, and there are plenty of real usecases. It is true that the algorithm is more complicated and at some point it deals with conflicting data but this is what a healthy system built in input redundancy should look like. Also, arguing about aesthetics when deciding to remove lidar is not an engineering mindset. In time, lidar will show its benefits and it will be adopted again. All I hear is "the algorithm is hard and the device makes the car ugly".

Aujourd'hui grosse discussion avec mes ingés (chez Argil) sur pourquoi Elon a viré le LIDAR de ses voitures autonomes. Choix radical, moqué pendant des années, et comme d'hab il avait raison depuis le début. Le LIDAR c'est un laser qui balaye l'environnement et crache un nuage de points 3D. Sur le papier tu obtiens la géométrie exacte du monde. Dans la vraie vie c'est une verrue technologique collée sur le toit parce qu'on sait pas faire mieux avec la vision seule. Problème numéro un : ça rajoute une modalité dans le training du modèle. Ton réseau doit apprendre à fusionner vision + lidar + radar + ultrasons. Chaque capteur en plus c'est une source de désaccord à arbitrer, pas une source d'info supplémentaire. Sensor fusion artisanale = dette technique permanente. Problème numéro deux, la bitter lesson de Rich Sutton : scaler le compute sur une seule modalité bat systématiquement les architectures bricolées à la main. Tesla a dropé le radar, puis les ultrasons, est passé full end-to-end vision. Leur courbe sur les edge cases s'est accélérée APRÈS, pas avant. Waymo fait l'inverse et reste stuck en ops géofencée. Problème numéro trois, le plus fondamental : le LIDAR voit la géométrie, pas la sémantique. Il sait qu'il y a un truc, pas ce que c'est ni ce que ça va faire. Les derniers 9 de fiabilité sont des problèmes de cognition, pas de perception brute. Un capteur de plus résout rien, il ajoute du bruit. Sébastien Loeb balance une 208 T16 à 180 dans un chemin boueux corse sous la pluie avec zéro LIDAR. Deux yeux, un cerveau. L'évolution a donné des yeux aux prédateurs pendant 500 millions d'années, pas des lasers. Il y a une raison. Le LIDAR c'est l'équivalent du marxisme appliqué à l'économie. Une solution planifiée, centralisée, qui prétend modéliser explicitement ce qui doit émerger d'un système distribué et adaptatif. Tu remplaces l'intelligence par de la mesure, la compréhension par de la donnée, l'émergence par le contrôle. Ça rassure les ingénieurs qui veulent tout spécifier en amont, exactement comme la planif rassurait les économistes soviétiques. Et ça échoue pour les mêmes raisons : la réalité est trop riche pour être capturée par un capteur, comme elle est trop riche pour être capturée par un plan quinquennal. La vraie intelligence, celle de Hayek comme celle de Tesla, c'est de faire confiance à un système qui apprend de l'expérience plutôt que de tout pré-encoder. L'élégance d'une solution c'est son rapport signal sur complexité. Le LIDAR explose le dénominateur. Défendre le LIDAR en 2026 c'est préférer empiler des hacks plutôt que résoudre le vrai problème. C'est de la feignasserie intellectuelle maquillée en rigueur d'ingénieur. Les mêmes gens qui défendaient les systèmes experts en 2012 contre le deep learning. Ils finiront pareil. Never bet against end-to-end. Never bet against la simplicité. Never bet against Elon.

Those politicians who feel like speaking people's mins accomplish a few functions and 3 of them are the most important: 1- a release valve for the public 2-the illusion that if they speak, this is the beginning of the right course of action which numbs the public's initiative and 3-they make or develop their public visibility or prime themselves as they are supposed to become the next in line as political leaders (I don't know this particular guy but I know people like him and I paid attention to their political trajectory and all this feels like a very old pattern).

🇮🇪 Irish politician Ken O’Flynn just went NUCLEAR on the Irish Government: “You blame Trump for everything, but he doesn’t run this Country. YOU introduced the Carbon Tax. YOU turned the Army on the people. If any of you have a backbone, vote to collapse this Government.” 🔥🔥

@BloomsGreensIE @Steffie49868875 @ezralevant What Steffie is saying is that you find words to say because you like the camera too much to stay truly honest (even to yourself). But again, somone has to remind people the simple things, again and again

@Steffie49868875 @ezralevant I'm not AI wtf 🤣

The fighting Irish are back 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

@EricLDaugh Really? McGregor? Switching muppets for muppets? Why? The guy loves the camera 1000x more than irish 🇮🇪 people

🚨 WOW! Conor McGregor is surging mobilization to VOTE OUT the current government who has betrayed the people of Ireland — prompting massive protests from farmers, truckers and patriots The people are NOT GIVING UP! 🇺🇸🇮🇪 "This government has LOST the confidence of the public and that is it! No confidence as a government and you are done!" "Their complete failure on housing, their refusal to ease the crushing cost of living crisis, the disastrous handling of immigration that has overwhelmed their communities and services and the shocking way that they have treated ordinary Irish people in recent days." "As a nation we have all just seen their behavior at the exact same time and there is now no going back. The horse has well and truly bolted." "We await the vote that will bring down this failed government that no longer represents us." "Ireland, for the future of our country, for our children, we must stand together in unity and complete this tackle. I love you with all my heart, every single one of you. God bless Ireland." @TheNotoriousMMA

History records also point out that when peasants were unhappy with the taxes they were blocking the roads with carriages for days , putting an end to any trade between cities and villages. The king was worried about starving peasants who couldn't get any penicillin and after 5 days of strong internal moral debate, he would decrease taxation and therefore the king was reelected again. Because of his kindness all peasants would travel a long way to his castle and throw flowers at his chambers for days on end. An amazing view of exuberance and rebirth. All spontaneous and without planning, just pure vibes networking relentlessly through ether.

Although it is now day 5 of fuel protests now here in Ireland, my message is the same. Super proud of all the hardworking men and women in this country who have stood their ground! This video got me demonetised on Meta, so 🖕 you suckerberg 🤣

@liz_churchill10 "Globalist Regime has COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL ".... hahahahahahahaaaaaa....

EPIC BACKFIRE IN IRELAND The Irish Government sent in the MILITARY to CRUSH fuel protesters…but the Crowds EXPLODED in size. Now, huge parts of the country are RUNNING OUT OF FUEL. Their Globalist Regime has COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL

You will soon see the "everything shortages" with 5x inflation if this continues. I'm not saying people aren't right but the way they act is pure self-sabotage. But sure, everyone is drunk on "now they are scared of us, we take our nation back etc." and replies like this feel unadjusted to people's exuberance. Wrong! I've lived through exactly this several times in a different country. It ends with the illusion of revolt and illusion of a good outcome. The course of action until now feels scripted/ planned.

The Irish government are telling the working class protestors they are stupid. Every single country in the west has had enough. Billions of us. Are we all stupid ? No. Are they shit scared of us uniting ? Yes.

This fuel price protest is just as wise as those random individuals sitting in the middle of the road, blocking it for whatever reason. It's the idea of harming / impeding something (in the end their own lives actually) in order to be heard. Do this at scale, with cars, and you have a different kind of lockdown. It's funny how irony smiles at us every now and then. All this is happening because people miss a more imaginative perspective on how to make themselves heard yet just as impactful. And as a coincidence, the fuel protest happens soon after the state announced the digital ID voluntary pilot.

Cork, Ireland Irish army on standby to dismantle peaceful fuel protest. Our constitution is gone! Pray for 🇮🇪

If your child becomes a reader, roughly 80% of the educational task is already done. That's my honest assessment after working in education for over thirty years. Everything else is secondary. Most parents believe that science education is important. Yes, it is. But if you can't read your biology textbook, you're not going to learn biology. Reading is the meta-skill that enables all other skills. History requires reading. Science requires reading. Even math increasingly requires reading as it becomes more sophisticated. The child who reads voraciously will grasp everything else. The child who doesn't will struggle with everything.

@irishpatriot91 I genuinely don't understand, they are proud of blocking the roads (hence the economy) but do they understand they are also blocking the goods and services for themselves? There are different ways to protest, with great impact, other than shooting yourself in the foot

THE PEOPLE ARE LOCKING IT DOWN AMAZING 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪👏🏻 Galway port is FULLY LOCKED DOWN!

@Palsvig This is the 2nd account I see mentioning civil war in Ireland, which is not true at the moment.

Torches and pitchforks moment?

@TheMarcitect So in the end, did you buy a Corvette?

I'll say it again.. this energy crisis is a complete fabrication. It's been planned for a very long time and is the key part of the agenda 2030 reset that will control everything you do. Everything that's happening now is just theater to condition you into accepting it. Wake up.

@liz_churchill10 What civil war? What's the matter, very low user engagement? :)

SHOCKING: IRELAND JUST ERUPTED INTO FULL CIVIL WAR Patriots seize Dublin and major cities…vowing to SHUT DOWN the entire economy until the Treasonous Government FOLDS. The Irish are DONE being replaced and robbed. It’s OVER for the EU Tyrannical LIARS

Those "observations" that I keep seeing from numerous respected researchers & whatnot in regard to our reality being a hologram of some sort smells like "peasants, fear not about death, as it is a mere passing from here to there." The topic is not "this is real and that isn't " , that's beyond the point. Why now convincing people that death is not tragic? What is happening or about to happen?

Thomas Campbell, a physicist and former NASA contractor, says consciousness is the true foundation of reality, not physical matter: "Our Reality Is a Simulation.” He compares the universe to a very advanced virtual reality or video game that began with a “digital Big Bang,” arguing that we are consciousness using human bodies as avatars inside a rule-based simulation built for learning and growth. He says we are “individuated units of consciousness” receiving data streams that create our experience, so the physical world only exists as rendered information when it is observed, similar to game graphics that load only when a player looks at them. In his view, the larger consciousness system is like an intelligent information system that runs the simulation efficiently and consistently so it can function as a kind of school where consciousness evolves by making choices.

It is because of this useless tirade the modern psychology deserves its bad reputation. At a deeper level it explains nothing, while it delivers exactly what a sane, healthy person can infer without effort, in simpler words by sitting quietly (haha, the irony) on a bench in the park.

according to physiology people who go silent when somethings upsets them or hurts them are often experiencing a coping mechanism called emotional withdrawal. 1/4

@MariaPIreland The background music is absolutely amazing, too bad it was very subtle.

@NiallMcConnell5 Let me get this straight: taxes on fuel grind the economy and the guy threatens if the prices don't go lower is going to finish the job by halting the economy. Noice!

Brave Irish Hero Chris Duffy lays down the gauntlet to the Government: Reduce fuel prices NOW or we bring the country to a standstill! Thoughts? ☘️ Store & Petition Link: linktr.ee/niallmcconnell1

@zhao_dashuai US is not the only producer of US dollars. Banks outside of US print it too, believe it or not

You may not agree with Professor Jiang. But this particular take is absolutely right, even for those who support the US. THE single biggest hurdle for the US to reindustrialize is the US dollar hegemony, which necessitates the US to be a net-importer, running a trade deficit to provide the world a steady supply of US dollar. If the US gives up on its hegemonic status, they can ease back from the role of the sole global reserve currency. After which they can reindustrialize and move away from the addiction for over-financialized fictitious economy. The biggest winners in that case will be the working class Americans, while the Banking cartels on Wall Street and the elites will suffer. Through their control of the media and politicians, the elites are able to brainwash Americans into advocating against their own interests. Waking up is the first step.

The crowd left unattended will not curate its individuals out to approach the CEO w/ relevant manners . Any idiot with confidence will kill CEO's time with trivialities bc he wants a better salary. The CEO's job is to quietly and dramatically curate the suits that talk to him bc the suits curate the crowd allegedly, balancing company's interests and societal impact . You folks wrote this nonsense post just to find a way to kiss elon's butt that's all. Curation is essentialising your actions, is the TLDR of doing stuff.

IBM built a cloud of suits to make sure the CEO never talked to anyone actually doing the work. @elonmusk does the opposite. "Elon's method is extreme focus on substance. Extreme focus on getting to the truth. In any organization with multiple layers, there's compounding lies. Each layer wants to look good. Each layer puts a little spin on things. If one layer lies to the next layer above it, maybe that's okay. When that happens two or three times, the lies compound. If that happens six times, the lies really compound. If that happens 12 times, the CEO has no idea what's happening. That was IBM. By the time I got there as an intern, I calculated there were 12 layers of management between me and the CEO. They even had a term for it: the great cloud. A cloud of men in gray business suits who followed the CEO around and prevented him from ever talking to anybody who was actually doing the work. When he would come to visit, it was like a visit from the king. A completely impervious bubble. That's the polar opposite of the Elon approach." — @pmarca

@idropFbombs :) revolutions start in a pub, with people encouraging each other they had enough of it. While solitude has its benefits, coming together with a societal initiative is powerful / impactful

This is 100% PROPAGANDA. They don't want people isolating because isolators are THINKERS. They want us drinking and socializing - talking about the latest sports, entertainment and politics with peers. (BRAINWASHING) Isolating = SPIRITUAL INVESTMENT. Isolating doesn't make you fat and depressed. Isolating doesn't cause irreversible organ damage. Isolating doesn't cause ADDICTION. 100% fake & gay.
