On “Comma.ai, self-driving cars and indefinite optimism”
Just watched today George Hotz’s interview in Lex Fridman’s podcast from last October, 3 hours talking about many interesting things including comma.ai and how it compares with Tesla’s approach. He even mentions HN a couple of times: link to this video link to this video

On “On Device Learning”
He was on the Lex Fridman podcast twice. He's definitely an interesting guy. I've been following comma.ai for some time now it's really cool seeing how much they've accomplished. August 2019 - link October 2020 - link to this video

On “The blockchain/cryptocurrency space is mostly fraudulent”
Yeah, HN ironically has a deep hate for any Crypto. Quite frankly a lot of HN probs missed out/dismissed BTC earlier years and now it just continues to trend up whilst the best money managers in the world/companies are adding it to their portfolio...the denial is real. link to this video Describes HN comments and attitude towards next level/pushing boundaries tech. Enjoy the sidelines.

Witness the tone very technically proficient but not "in the cult" people like George Hotz have when they're discussing the block size debate; there's no doubt whatsoever that core is utterly wrong, to the point that any suggestion to the contrary is nothing more than a joke. Deep link to the exact part in a recent interview he addresses this link to this video…

On “Cruise is opening driverless cars to the public in San Francisco”
…pecific tasks like localization. Neural nets and vision only is a more difficult but in the long run straightforward solution. The example he brought up was alphazero vs some other chess engine that has a rook engine, and a knight engine, etc. Basically he's backing the end to end neural network back approach over some kind of multi-sensor fusion. link to this video…
