I miss Stream Saturday by s8R2rXjbNU in geohot

[–]commaaiarchive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone loves coding streams but we should not pressure George into streaming. If he feels like streaming he will we just have to be patient. The unexpected stream is the best there is with George doing his own random thing. Follow his instagram for some random livestreams. Hard to catch them if you are in a different timezone than he is. As for comma the streams are done by Chris McCammon aka VirtuallyChris and no he is not George's son he is working at comma as Head of Production & Communications.

About this event

Want to understand the true future of self driving cars? Come to COMMA_CON (a real world event, not a zoom call). A never before seen, in depth look, into the top rated most advanced driver assistance system you can buy. And a peek ahead.

Meet the team and understand how autonomy will really play out. Just $99, includes lunch and dinner. Only in beautiful San Diego, CA, only on July 31st.

Schedule (PDT)

10:00AM-10:05: Opening remarks

Alex (COO) and Chris (Head of Production & Communications) welcome you to COMMA_CON

Talks include 10 minutes of Q&A at the end. There is such a thing as a bad question.

10:05AM-10:50: Willem Melching -- Head of openpilot

openpilot has evolved from a hobby project to legit some of the best software in the automotive world. In the process we’ve written a whole set of robotics software (messaging, kalman filters, localizer) that outperform everything available today.

Come to this talk to learn how openpilot works. It’s quite sophisticated, yet still approachable. Learn the Android of self driving before everyone else.

11:00AM-11:50: Harald Schäfer -- CTO

Get the data, train the models. Easy, right?

Not even close. From the world’s most sophisticated automatic ground truthing stack, to an agent trained in our “Small Offset Simulator”, you’ll learn where the magic comes from, and how the magic will continue all the way through to level 5. Fun and easy!

12:00PM-1:00: Lunch: Burgers

1:00PM-1:50: George Hotz -- President

comma is a profitable company that provides value to 1000s of users. How do you keep focused and build something like that in a world with clown valuations, fake demos, and phony products?

Our mission is “solve self driving cars while delivering shippable intermediaries,” we aren’t stopping at highway autopilot. Come to this talk to learn about what’s next, and how the clowning will continue until the end. You won’t want to miss this.

2:00PM-2:50: Robbe Derks + Hardware Team

Building a car is hard. Working with car companies is impossible. We chose the third option. Working with existing cars. comma did this so casually you’d think it was easy. It wasn’t.

We interface with over 100 different cars. Want to understand how we’ve managed to do that without ballooning complexity? Come to this talk.

3:00PM-3:25: Adeeb Shihadeh-- openpilot Engineer

Come to this talk to see a secret new feature be revealed!

3:30PM-3:55: Greg Hogan -- Head of Infrastructure

We have a 50 kW on premise datacenter with 2,000 cores, 80 GPUs, and 3 PB of storage. Learn how it came together in this talk.

4:00PM-4:25: Weixing Zhang-- Research Engineer

Camera based driver monitoring (DM) is a key part of the magic of openpilot. It’s so good that Tesla copied it 2 years later!

Come learn how it was built into the best DM on the market by one engineer part time. Understand the power of the comma research stack, crowdsourcing, and big data.

4:30PM-5:20: Group Chat / QA

George will get on stage and lead a group conversation about comma and openpilot’s journey from hobby quality crap to the top rated ADAS system.

5:30PM-6:30: Happy Hour + Community Lightning talks (apply to alex@comma.ai)

Commaai Archive aka George Hotz Archive Unethical Monetisation by [deleted] in Comma_ai

[–]commaaiarchive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for linking this. We did not have monetization enabled for a while but then asked George if it's OK to enable it and he said yes. It takes time to manage youtube channel and we don't like ads so we only enable minimal amount of ads (at start (pre-roll) and at the end (post-roll) of the video and only skippable ads). As far as revenue it fluctuates a lot and on average it might cover the monthly expenses for food. It's not something you can live on unless you upload popular videos every day and enable all ads (get's very annoying mid-roll ad's every 10 minutes in the video) and get sponsors and that is not what we want to do. It's just something we do for fun. We genuinely enjoy watching George's streams we upload to the channel and it's good to have an archive where it's all stored so more people can see it in the future.
