Can someone please throw a shoe at this Gujarati intern they keep wheeling out everyday



Some other (longer term) things I’ve learned about Robotaxi, in particular. There’s a small number of highly promising and viable Robotaxi-specific FSD neural nets in development. Dojo-based data center in New York is getting close. Nvidia-based data center in Austin is proving $$$ (expensive). Elon first tasked the software team to look at robotaxi-specific architecture / FSD foundation models in 2019. The barriers to progress were Dojo being behind sked. The hope was production by June 2022 but it hit in July 2023. GPU supply and compute constrains also held back FSD progress but Dojo did to some extent unlock that. The innovation that’s mattered is FSD software that is end-to-end (no c++ control Code). That’s been the key to unlocking a generation of software that could realistically power a 'robotaxi.' My understanding is that the promising neural networks are quite a secret that only a few folks have access to. But from a software perspective (because they’ll have to plan and build the specific hardware spec for robotaxi), tesla is making progress Tesla Big Take report @business (no paywall) bloomberg.com/news/features/…


Clint Eastwood just wrapped post-production on “Juror No. 2.” Insiders say Warner Bros. is thrilled by what it has seen of the Nicholas Hoult thriller about a murder trial juror who realizes he may be at fault for the victim’s death. wp.me/pc8uak-1lE1eN
