99 in Berkeley right now. My house was built in like 1928 and since we rent obviously there’s been no energy efficient updating of insulation or anything like that since maybe the 60s. It’s like 94 inside right now. Sitting in front of multiple fans just blowing hot air at me this is the life y’all.

Waymo is already operating fully autonomous self driving taxis in SF. Price point is about the same as uber/lyft, a bit cheaper since no tip. And they are all hella nice Jaguars. The difference is Waymo uses lidar and radar to make it work (and also did intensive mapping of city streets). Still needs a lot of work to scale (they do dumb things, but so do human drivers, and are limited to the city so I can’t take one to or from my home in Berkeley yet) but they fully exist and are a viable option today.

I used to read it while pooping as a perl programmer at one of my first jobs

I’m not sure if this is an Oscar reference or a Zizek reference and either way I’m here for it.

That seems more like an argument for free higher education rather than restricting what corpuses a deep learning model can train on

I take it you don’t understand how startups work?

OpenAI is not making any profit and is losing money hand over fist today. Valuation and raising investment rounds isn’t profit.

Eh? That article says nothing about their profit margins. Today they have something like $3.5B in ARR (not really, that’s annualized from their latest peak, in Feb they had like $2B ARR). Meanwhile they have operating costs over $7B. Meaning they are losing money hand over fist and not making a profit.

I’m not suggesting anything else, just that they are not profitable and personally I don’t see a road to profitability beyond subsidizing themselves with investment.

OpenAI is burning billions of dollars not making profit.

I still play civ v with a few friends pretty much weekly. A couple times a year one of our wives and kids go out of town and we lan party from 4pm to 6am and actually finish a game!

Nicotine helps with neural degeneration and things like dementia and alzheimers.

They had this in SF a few years ago. The whole “museum” was really shoddy and a big disappointment.

I dunno what to tell you man. Read the other comments from non white posters in this thread. 90% of them are agreeing with my lived experience, questions like that come across as thinly veiled racism. You don’t get to tell people of color what we should take as offensive or not. If you can’t understand that, it’s on you. Try thinking about it rather than getting defensive.

I’m glad you’ve got the freedom to say whatever you want and be like “oh dang sorry didn’t mean to offend you” (and act like a victim when you get called out on your language being offensive). For those of us who aren’t white we don’t get such luxuries. Aka your actions (whether you mean it or not doesn’t fucking matter) are RACIST

Edit cause I’ll actually engage instead of being pissed. You are saying very explicitly with that question that Asian folks don’t belong in the south, are alien to it, and are a curiosity. As a south Asian who lived in the south for a number of years the number of yokel ass motherfuckers who had the same attitude is too many to count (dwarfed only by the number of people who were just straight up explicitly racist). We aren’t here to satiate your curiosity and if you can’t grasp that I dunno what to tell you. Grand on you for being an enlightened centrist, asking a “foreign” person where they are really from (esp in a place with a strong history of systemic racism like the south) ain’t cool, full stop.

Jesus people don’t even see how racist they are, pretty sad.

Hint - it was quite racist of you to ask that of somebody because they didn’t match your stereotypes.

Minimum wage in California is $16. Berkeley it is $18.67

1985 here, I’d place it with Clinton neoliberalism personally (the left sold out, and the right totally lost their minds as Rush Limbaugh’s proteges started showing up on cable news)

I live upon morsels you happen to drop

And if Trump loses ol Joe says we should move on to heal the country and gives Trump a reach-around just to show he means it, no malarkey.

Those bumper stickers are bullshit. Musk was a nut job who profited from apartheid and then bought his way into the public mind as some kind of low rent Tony Stark from the get. San Francisco 2012 people thought I was nuts for claiming he was a huge charlatan and now those same people rock those bumper stickers.

This regulation (and similar being proposed in California) would not be applied retroactively.
