bugufu8f83··on We replaced H.264 streaming with JPEG screenshots (and it worked better)
>Don’t assume something you cannot prove.

Well it's an inherently unprovable accusation, so assumption will have to do. It reeks of LLM-ese in certain word choices, phrases, and structure, though. I thought it was quite clear.

>It was great writing

Err... no accounting for taste, I suppose.

>Setting aside...the LLM writing style

I don't want to set that aside either. Why is AI generated slop getting voted to the top of HN? If you can't be bothered to spend the time writing a blog post, why should I be bothered spending my time reading it? It's frankly a little bit insulting.

bugufu8f83··on Waymo robotaxis are now giving rides on freeways in LA, SF and Phoenix
We have very different value systems, is the politest way I would react to this. Aggressive drivers suck for everyone else on the road and when I ride with one I feel like I've lost something, not won something.
bugufu8f83··on Waymo has received our pilot permit allowing for commercial operations at SFO
Tesla's self-driving technology is a joke compared to Waymo's and the Tesla brand is extremely toxic now. I see from your other comments that you're big on Tesla (own several and have a son who works there) but as an unbiased observer I cannot fathom them winning this market.

They do, don't they? I think OpenAI uses libgen.

Meta managed to get into a private ebook torrent tracker called Bibliotik a few years ago to use for training Llama and the resulting publicity essentially killed the tracker.
