Shout out Paul!


Here is a pretty recent and in depth video by Larry Chen of the Subaru WRX STI Project Midnight car built by the same company.

For those who are underestimating just how advanced Vermont Sports Car is, this should open up your eyes.

You can have one built; you just call Vermont Sports Car lol.

Yes, price is a major factor.

No, you are completely incorrect on street legality; and way far from the truth lol

The basis of a WRC rally car is that it is indeed street legal; and is required to be driven on the public roads with a proper license plate in between the stages of the rally.


Vermont Sports Car.

They build all the fast Subarus for everyone; Travis Prastana, Bucky Lasik, Ken Block, Lia Block.

The Huckster, the Project Midnight; all them too.

This is a very interesting buy because Scale AI has been spamming anyone and everyone on freelancer platforms; and they don’t have a very good reputation online so far from people they have contracted with.

Just go look at what people say about them on Reddit. It’s rare to find anything positive, or even a single brand champion that had some sort of great experience with them.


Just like Uber, Doordash & co don't have a good reputation among their contract workers. The entire business model is based on exploitation of labor. That doesn't mean it isn't valuable (in a capitalist sense).


No, those were entirely different user experiences when the services you mentioned were gaining traction and finding product market fit.

UberCab and Palo Alto Delivery were both services that had great success at user experiences for everyone involved including drivers, riders, small businesses, people ordering food. These experiences created brand champions who went out and raved about these technological innovations nonstop.

I don’t see any mentions of any positive experiences with Scale Ai here on HN or Reddit.. maybe that’s the reason behind the acquisition?


People on HN aren't the ones driving Ubers, so I'm not sure what experiences you are expecting to hear about. Go talk to actual drivers and you'll find that things aren't exactly rosy.


Driving for Uber in 2010 was amazing.

There were plenty of people on HN who signed up for the app to drive people back home before and after work.

Being able to see your car move in real time on the uber database with >2s lag between your car GPS and customers phone was magical in a way that's hard to describe today.


Lots of things were amazing when there was unlimited VC money flowing in and no expectation of profit. No point bringing it up 15 years later in a new reality.


Yes. But in this case it's terrible _even before the VC money runs out_.


So would you be interested in a simple serverless service that lets you run LLM’s and is focused on privacy and security first instead of trying to run it on an expensive workstation with a single 4080?


You are never found as innocent within U.S. criminal courts. It’s only guilty or not guilty.


"You are innocent until proven guilty". Now lets all build out our truth tables to check if what he said is accurate.


When the doors to the courtroom close the defendant enters a quantum state whereby they are simultaneously innocent and guilty. Once the court room doors open the wave function collapses and a state is revealed.


Presumption of innocence is not the same as a court verdict. A court doesn't find innocence, it merely finds not guilty.

Should new evidence come to light, new charges can be filed.


Nvida was started in a booth at a Denny’s.

Ah, that makes more sense. Thank you.
