The Ledger
Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 6 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Ludwig: Tesla R&D vehicles still use LiDAR in the Bay Area
“If you see, for example, a Tesla R&D vehicle, it actually has LiDAR on it to this day, right? In, in the Bay Area, we see these you'll see like Model Ys or CyberCab that have LiDARs on them just driving around.”
Ludwig: Autonomous systems will not cause worse accidents than human drivers
“I don't think we honestly have to worry about there ever being accidents from these systems that are much, like, much worse than what humans would cause, because humans do do terrible things. People fall asleep at the wheel all the time.”
Ludwig: Most automakers cannot update safety-critical systems over the air
“Are basically never doing updates and they're, and even if they are doing updates, they're usually only updating maybe one module. Maybe they're updating the HMI module, but they're not able to update, let's say the seafood critical parts of the system. You ha…”
Ludwig: Frontier AI Models Now Excel at Low-Level Code and GPU Shaders
“Six months ago, I would have said the same thing, but it's becoming super useful for every domain.
I'm sure.
Right.
Like there was
I think six months ago, or maybe, maybe a year ago, if you tried to use, let's say the latest Claude model for writing shaders G…”
Ludwig: Actuator overheating is a major physical failure point in humanoid robotics
“In these humanoid robotics systems, overheating actuators is a real problem, right? So obviously phenomenal demos. The most amazing I can get. I love watching robots do acrobatics like everybody, but The systems actually overheat, right?”
