Musk’s $1T pay package is full of watered-down versions of his own broken promises

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-10-13 06:02:36

Tesla has proposed a massive new $1 trillion compensation package for its CEO Elon Musk, and many of the benchmarks he needs to hit are simply watered-down versions of promises he’s spent years making about the company. That’s not the picture Tesla’s board of directors paints in the company’s annual proxy statement, where they revealed the proposed pay package. Instead, the board focuses on how it plans to create “the most valuable company in history.” To be sure, if Tesla accomplishes all tha

Scientists Boast That Their AI-Powered Stethoscope Only Fails Two-Thirds of the Time

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-13 06:00:25

A team of researchers in the UK say their AI-powered stethoscope can detect three different heart conditions in just 15 seconds. It's also, they readily admit, horrendously inaccurate. Placed over the chest, the "smart" gizmo analyzes the rhythms of the heartbeat and blood flow that're undetectable to the human ear, while also performing a quick electrocardiogram, or ECG, which is a test that gauges your heart's electrical activity. Then, all that info is packaged and sent "securely" to the c

The maths you need to start understanding LLMs

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-09 20:10:47

The maths you need to start understanding LLMs Actually coming up with ideas like GPT-based LLMs and doing serious AI research requires serious maths. But the good news is that if you just want to understand how they work, while it does require some maths, if you studied it at high-school at any time since the 1960s, you did all of the groundwork then: vectors, matrices, and so on. One thing to note -- what I'm covering here is what you need to know to understand inference -- that is, using an

Tesla Proposes a Trillion-Dollar Bet That It's More Than Just Cars

For a while now, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has seemed awfully distracted.
