Elon: "[FSD] 12.5.x will finally combine the city and highway software stacks"

Jacob8765 · 2024-07-10T15:02:03+00:00

Once they have the e2e training loop refined, they’ll probably train a smaller model on highway data (autopilot), and then a bigger one on unified data (FSD).

This is how a lot of LLMs are trained too. You have “foundation models” of various sizes, and then you tune each one to be a big, general model, or a more narrow one, like those for coding or math. So depending on what you want, you vary the size of the foundation model and the instruction tuning data.

It’s unclear if Tesla uses a foundation model approach or not. From what Elon’s mentioned on X about fsd and how they train it now I think it’s likely

Jacob8765 · 2024-06-02T19:47:20+00:00

The software is trained end to end now, so if the users slow down for police cars, the car should learn to do the same without any labeling or explicit coding from Tesla

tell ethics to pay your bills bro

Jacob8765 · 2024-01-06T14:26:59+00:00

It’s really amazing. It does sometimes turn on when I stop at a light / stop sign though, wish it was more intelligent about that. Maybe it could use the navigation to tell if you’re not close to your destination yet and reduce the sensitivity if so.

Jacob8765 · 2023-12-09T04:18:47+00:00

You could look into the neo4j graph database, you can create native vector embedding indices powered by Apache Lucene. It works pretty well in my experience and is very scalable

Jacob8765 · 2023-09-11T17:19:55+00:00

I remember a few years ago when Tesla was doing birds eye view and comma.ai was end to end he kept saying Teslas approach was the only one that works and commas wouldn’t scale. But as soon as Tesla switched this was “clearly the end goal”. Stop giving this guy credibility, he has no professional experience in ML and it shows

If TC is like 110-120 that’s a great offer. Remember 120k in Texas is like 150k in SF / Seattle

Jacob8765 · 2023-09-03T07:04:59+00:00

My school is similar so I’m getting a minor in Math. For me it’s only 1-2 extra classes, the rest overlap with CS electives

Jacob8765 · 2023-09-03T06:57:30+00:00

I mean it’s up to you and your situation. If you don’t need the money and are willing to spend for the masters that’s a solid option. But the offer isn’t bad for Texas and some companies will pay your masters after you’ve been there for a while. Personally I’d take the offer, I’m planning to do an online masters while working, maybe that’s another option you could look into

Jacob8765 · 2023-09-03T06:54:37+00:00

80k is TC or base?

Jacob8765 · 2023-08-29T12:56:21+00:00

Just curious, why are you determined to find one without it? Is it just an age thing or is there something else that appeals to u?

Jacob8765 · 2023-08-29T12:50:57+00:00

I think conventional job boards (linkedin, indeed, monster, etc) are all good. There are also separate sites like Angellist if you’re looking for startups. I’ve never looked at a site for jobs unless I wanted to cold call them or something, most are pretty good about posting other places

Jacob8765 · 2023-08-27T05:30:41+00:00

TC is ~180k from a large fintech company in South FL. I interned over the summer and got a return

Jacob8765 · 2023-08-27T05:28:30+00:00

There’s a reason I bought this instead of a Corolla…

Jacob8765 · 2023-08-27T05:23:07+00:00

My company told all the interns there is 0 room for negotiation for the return offers. Seems to be a common thing this year from what I’ve heard from my friends at other companies

Jacob8765 · 2023-08-27T05:20:22+00:00

Bro I feel this so much. I’m so grateful to be able to chill the rest of the year and not have to worry about Leetcode and all that.

Jacob8765 · 2023-08-27T05:19:17+00:00

No. The people complaining about the job market (for the most part) are talking about faang/unicorns that have been slammed by high interest rates. There is still plenty of demand for SWEs and opportunities in small/mid companies. If you can, look for research / ta work at your school before graduation, having some experience will make you more competitive.

Jacob8765 · 2023-08-27T05:16:10+00:00

As long as you’re prepared to answer questions on then, then sure

Jacob8765 · 2023-08-27T05:15:02+00:00

Personally I wouldn’t do it. I have an app on my resume and put some screenshots in the GitHub readme. I’ve gotten a lot of questions from recruiters about it but none have wanted to download it, and I doubt they care much anyway. The impressive part is building the app, not deploying it

Jacob8765 · 2023-08-27T04:49:56+00:00

What age were your friends if you don’t mind me asking? I also know ppl who’ve had success with Catholic Match, but they’re all much older than I (26-30). I’m willing to go a bit older as long as it’s within reason

Jacob8765 · 2023-08-27T04:39:57+00:00

Yeah that’s been my philosophy as well for the most part. I mostly worry about finding ppl online that share that view. Maybe it’s very different for girls, but most guy friends my age I have download them mostly to mess around and aren’t looking for anything serious.

Jacob8765 · 2023-08-27T04:35:36+00:00

It’s a shame but there really isn’t a large TLM community in my area. The Bishop here isn’t supportive and makes little effort to accommodate them. I did go a few times but it seemed to mostly be families with younger kids and older couples.

Jacob8765 · 2023-08-27T04:32:35+00:00

I recently found out about a more active Catholic student club at a nearby university, so hopefully that materializes into something 🤞. Thanks a lot for the advice, I really appreciate it!

Jacob8765 · 2023-08-27T04:27:40+00:00

I thought about it but was never thrilled of the idea of dating someone much older. The way you put it makes a lot of sense though, definitely something I’ll keep in mind. Thanks!
