My first hackathon experience @ #COMMA_HACK_4 Thanks to the

@comma_ai team for hosting such an amazing event (& building top class tooling)! Leo / @billy_agi was the perfect companion ♥

Great conversations with @realGeorgeHotz
@yassineyousfi_ came through with that YoLo model
@___Harald___ runs a tight ship 🏴‍☠️
Fun CTF thanks to @adeebshihadeh (starring @mitchellgoffpc!)
@nuwandavek & Kasper helping me debug problems WAY below their pay grade.
@aalleexx with the warmth 🔥 & welcoming
Would've teamed up with Shane if it wasn't against the rules

Awesome performance by @armand_dpl @lnofx @riantouchent in grabbing gold.
Clever stuff from @stevengongg @ivan_yevenko @clayhaight with that E2E solution.

@_FredMackay @comma_ai @ianjorgensen You can totally do it! Buying the unit first would make your life easier - you're going to need it anyway once you complete the port

[Mike Busuttil @HyperSmactive]

@ianjorgensen @comma_ai You tell us. Hop on discord, roll up your sleeves, and port that car brother

So is this why LeCun gets so much hate rn? Because he's right

Writing fast python code is so satisfying.

People have been gaslit into thinking python is slow. But modern computers are so fast and modern software so complex, that python overhead is rarely relevant. The slowness people experience in python is just poorly written libraries.

@melqtx you ssh into my server & want to run something that's gonna take a while and will log a bunch of stuff you don't want to lose

[Mike Busuttil @HyperSmactive]

@janrosenow Is this true? And if so, where can you buy them in North America?

[Mike Busuttil @HyperSmactive]

I'm glad I didn't get it but to be fair

@matthewstoller Time is breaking up their monopoly, no gov't action necessary

People trust "influencers" now more than media brands and that's a good thing IMO.

Trustworthiness should be what ultimately brings consumers back to an influencer - not the media brand that platforms them.

[Mike Busuttil @HyperSmactive]

@matthewstoller I agree ‘we need nicer oligarchs’ is a weaksauce solution

But it's not clear to me that the gov't breaking up media companies is the answer: I think those companies got big because of their monopoly on VHF/UHF spectrum. In the age of the internet, that no longer matters.
