It's important to remember this is just the commercial arm. The OSS side has as many maintainers as Adam allows and the community is quite active with PRs and volunteer work. Tailwind the project will be ok. Someone will fork it if stales thanks to its popularity. That being said, many more companies should sponsor considering its ubiquitous adoption.
What? That's not what this does at all. Educate yourself. It has nothing to do with the commercial side of his business, it's just the already public docs in cleaned up pure text form.
Nope. Started with regex but it was brittle so I used my library which parses to AST which is easier to work with. It's a docs site, so I'm getting one more download woohoo.
They need to skill up on being public and creating useful tech demos. That’s why OpenAI is currently winning, they know how to foster engagement and interest. Who had heard of Claude? Almost no one outside of our industry and probably within as well.
I could conceivably see a use for this in contrainted devices, i.e. embedded with small, low resolution displays. It sees to be missing text rendering entirely, though.
I question the taste of someone that thinks SF is a great place, honestly. They were supremely lucky many tech companies were born there and have completely squandered the advantage.
I see the top asymptotic part of the curve being an Iain Banksian “Culture”. Very very far off, but at a certain point, maybe Kardashev II-III, there will be a gradual plateau.
Solid approach to data; completely wasted on a product they’ll never achieve…
I won’t weigh into the politics of the situation, but anyone who has their head on straight can see by now that “full self driving” isn’t becoming a reality any time soon. Even if the technology works out somehow, the politics of thing will take decades.
More interesting to me is the lessons the engineers learn there and take with them to other efforts, where success is more possible.
There are so many nuanced things that go into making a great EV: advanced software with OTA updates, highly efficient electric motors, material science breakthroughs in battery tech and other components. Toyota can get there in time but there’s so many things to do and they’re facing increasingly rough headwinds the longer they wait to properly electrify.
