Is this Google-affiliated? The heading font is Product/Google Sans which IIRC only Alphabet is allowed to use and the entire webpage seems to be Google-style but neither of the two named researchers seem to be employed by Google?

I think the most interesting part is that the article says that Waymo's handing its operations to Moove. It seems like Waymo's trying to become a software provider while having other companies handle the capital-intensive parts.

I think it’s moreso that the more developed any one project is, the fewer low hanging fruits there are to pick, so there’s less beginner tasks to do. That being said, there are still new projects springing up every day, but we just don’t know which of them will be the next Linux or Python.

Off-topic, but why do we still use nm to refer to things? I assume everyone on here is already aware that it's purely a marketing term, but we still use it.

One of the big issues I have with ARM CPUs right now is that you can’t really purchase them anywhere as a consumer. They consolidate everything into the hands of a few major players, while hobbyists are relegated to sticking with x86. I wonder if RISC-V is going to fix that.

Part of the issue is that we don’t really understand consciousness in humans. I think that’s needed before we can actually see what’s happening with AI. This article reminds me of that Google engineer that called LaMDA sentient.

Interesting. Wonder how easily it would be to generalise this—turn into an API that gives out some image data that could be in turn converted to PDF, SVG, PNG, you name it… though not sure how the data would be structured though
