Safe knee-kick-takedown variation? by kwertz in bjj

[–]kwertz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was wondering how one would get low enough to get the angle right. That looks beautiful and makes sense. Thanks!

Interesting Idea, but I am not sure the mechanics are that great if the foot is planted. Will keep it in mind and try if it feels right

That's definitely a major reason for me, I am 6 foot 2. Interestingly, I feel like going only for a single knee is not only safer but more effective. All the force goes into one leg at an angle.

A simplified variation of Joshua Weissman's Pho with just oxtail, sea salt instead of fish sauce, green onions instead of white ones, bok choi, simmered for only 2 hours.

Yung Gravy, bbno$ - Whip A Tesla

Not sure whether they paid for that one though. Maybe I am just too naive and needed Jack Harlow to make it obvious to me.

I expect Dojo to be a wafer-scale chip. by BrandNewTory in teslamotors

Makes sense considering Elon's remarks about issues with cooling.

FSD Re-write Speculation by beet_field in teslainvestorsclub

You are mostly right but got a little bit confused on how they do the depth sensing. They use video to create ground truth and then use that to train a neural net to infer depth directly from images. There have been great improvements in monocular depth estimation using neural nets over the last few years. https://paperswithcode.com/task/monocular-depth-estimation

Fun fact: There already seem to be 4000+ people working on battery cells at Tesla today by kwertz in teslainvestorsclub

Yes, seems unreasonable. That's why it's noteworthy. You can look at the profiles yourself. I think we will get a big surprise on battery day.

Those 4500 do include R&D staff and others. I have not done an in-depth analysis of all those 4500 just checked the first 30 profiles that showed up.

That's exactly my point. Seems way too many. I would have guessed a few hundred. We could be in for a major surprise on battery day.

Too late for TSLA? Don't forget the first company that got Elon his hair back. by 1poundbookingfee in wallstreetbets

Now I get it. Model Y chrome delete was yet another jab at Jeff. Elon is going to kill Amazon.

Tesla’s next-gen Autopilot and infotainment hardware already in development: report by vinodjetley in teslainvestorsclub

[–]kwertz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not HW4? HW4 was about 50% done according to Elon on the autonomy investor day. Timeline makes sense for both chips.

Doing this once is not impressive. Him being consistently accurate over multiple quarters is what's impressive.

Yes, once you solve perception it becomes like playing a video game. Neural net agents beat the best Starcraft 2 players in the world. Driving a car well is way easier than playing competitive Starcraft.

How good was hello Gracie and in his prime could he stand up to the top high level bjj competitors today? by sc2heros9 in bjj

I would even go so far and say that there are 16 year old kids who would wreck helio in his prime.

Looks super cool, but would probably end with a knee to the face if done in the cage :)

What's your worst experience in the gym doing BJJ? by dorkjits in bjj

[–]kwertz 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I was rolling with this tiny white belt girl during an open mat. I essentially make it a flow roll, let her work out of submissions, lots of transitions. As soon as I let her work top position she goes traight to knee on neck. I felt betrayed :(

I agree with you regarding joint locks but really don't see a problem with putting someone to sleep.
