"So far, other autonomous vehicle companies don’t report or report incomplete data. Waymo, by contrast, published everything I needed to analyze the data: crash statistics with miles driven that allow accurate comparison to human drivers in the same locations.
If Waymo’s results are indicative of the broader future of autonomous vehicles, we may be on the path to eliminating traffic deaths as a leading cause of mortality in the United States. While many see this as a tech story, I view it as a public health breakthrough." – @slotkinjr

. @zacharynado pointed out this stat we'd put in the white paper that in retrospect deserves calling attention to. During our Gemini Ultra training run, we had a goodput measure of 97% (goodput: the time spent computing useful new steps over the elapsed time of the training job). It's good to move forward almost all the time.
We're proud to announce Gemini, our largest and most capable model, to help significantly enhance how our customers build and scale with AI. We’re also announcing Cloud TPU v5p and AI Hypercomputer. https://t.co/bGtak1Bjlj
@elithrar That's fair. I'm still curious about your go-to example! (And it's definitely not because I've been asked to explain this to some execs next week)
