DeepSeek is planning to use Huawei extensively for inference

“Due to constraints in high-end compute capacity, the current service capacity for Pro is very limited. After the 950 supernodes are launched at scale in the second half of this year, the price of Pro is expected to be reduced significantly.”

Instead of betting on RADAR and LIDAR HW getting better and cost going down, they went with vision only approach. Everybody in this field knows the strengths and weakness of each system. Multi-modal sensor fusion is the way to go for L4 autonomy. There is no other way to reduce the risk. Vision only will never be able to achieve L4 in all the weather conditions. Tesla may try to demonstrate L4 in limited geography and in good weather conditions but it won't scale.

As part of a broad investigation into the risks of electric door handles, Bloomberg attempted to quantify for the first time the number of fatal crashes in the US in which door functionality played a role. This reporting turned up at least 15 deaths in a dozen incidents over the past decade in which occupants or rescuers were unable to open the doors of a Tesla that had crashed and caught fire.

Covid times provied that people can live without 50% of what they usually spend and majority of jobs will disappear if people do that. Most jobs are catering to people's overspending.

Gen 3 autonomy platform will include 11 cameras, 5 radars and a front-facing LiDAR. It will be powered by RAP1—our in-house silicon. Gen 3 Autonomy Computer powered by RAP1 hits a peak of 1600 sparse INT8 TOPS and can process 5 billion pixels of sensor data. Every second.

Following the Airbus A320 emergency airworthiness action, everyone will be talking about the ELAC (Elevator Aileron Computer) manufactured by Thales, which caused a sudden pitch-down without pilot input on JetBlue 1230 back in October.

So here’s everything you need to know about ELAC.

It's because of high admission rate from LCFF+ Schools

Beginning in 2022, however, UC San Diego took the lead, with enrollment jumping from 894 in 2021 to roughly 1,800 in each of the following three years (2022-2024).

The subset of California public schools in which more than 75 percent of the school’s total enrollment is composed of students who are identified as either eligible for free or reduced-price meals, or English learners, or foster youth, are eligible for additional funding through the LCFF program. The subset of California schools that meet these eligibility requirements are referred to as LCFF+ schools,

If you are looking for white people culture you won't find it. Young demography is mostly ORM males, I guess that's true across other age groups also.

As authorized by federal law, the department will conduct investigations of employers through Project Firewall to maximize H-1B program compliance. To achieve this goal, the Secretary of Labor will personally certify the initiation of investigations for the first time in the department’s history. This historic action leverages existing authority granted to the Secretary if reasonable cause exists that an H-1B employer not in compliance.

Secretary-certified investigations, as well as other H-1B-related investigations, are important tools the department will use in Project Firewall to hold employers accountable and protect the rights of American workers. Violations may result in the collection of back wages owed to affected workers, the assessment of civil money penalties, and/or debarment from future use of the H-1B program for a prescribed period of time.

This is propaganda. CS new grads from Top10 are finding it tough to get jobs. There is lot of supply of smart CS grads within US. No need to hire H1Bs in the current economic situation which is different from late 90s when H1B program started.

In 2023, American colleges graduated 134,153 citizens or green card holders with bachelor's or master's degrees in computer science. That same year, our federal government handed out work permits to at least 110,098 foreign workers in computer occupations through just three major guest worker programs. That's equal to 82% of our graduating class who are guaranteed jobs even before any Americans walk across the stage for their diploma.
