Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | hang out and talk about, you know, document their build progress and | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:02:12.960 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | everything. And I think I read, I must have read like, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:02:16.160 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | you know, tens of thousands of forum posts from basically | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:02:20.080 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | everything that was out there on what these people were doing. And eventually | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:02:23.760 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | like sort of triangulated how to put some of these things together. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:02:26.960 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And I ended up doing BattleBots, which was, you know, I was like 13 or 14, which | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:02:30.400 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | was pretty awesome. I'm not sure if the show is still | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:02:34.880 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | running, but so BattleBots is, there's not an artificial | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:02:37.280 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | intelligence component. It's remotely controlled. And it's | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:02:41.520 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | almost like a mechanical engineering challenge of building things | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:02:44.800 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | that can be broken. They're radio controlled. So, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:02:47.840 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | and I think that they allowed some limited form of autonomy. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:02:50.960 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | But, you know, in a two minute match, you're, in the way these things ran, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:02:54.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | you're really doing yourself a disservice by trying to automate it | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:02:58.640 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | versus just, you know, do the practical thing, which is drive it yourself. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:03:01.120 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And there's an entertainment aspect, just going on YouTube, there's like an, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:03:04.560 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | some of them wield an axe, some of them, I mean, there's that fun. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:03:08.800 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | So what drew you to that aspect? Was it the mechanical engineering? | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:03:12.080 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | Was it the dream to create like Frankenstein and | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:03:15.280 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | sentient being? Or was it just like the Lego, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:03:19.760 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | you like tinkering with stuff? I mean, that was just building something. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:03:22.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | I think the idea of, you know, this radio controlled machine that | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:03:25.920 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | can do various things, if it has like a weapon or something was pretty | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:03:29.760 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | interesting. I agree it doesn't have the same | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:03:32.320 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | appeal as, you know, autonomous robots, which I, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:03:34.880 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | which I, you know, sort of gravitated towards later on. But it was definitely | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:03:37.600 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | an engineering challenge because everything you did in that | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:03:40.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | competition was pushing components to their limits. So we would | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:03:44.880 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | buy like these $40 DC motors that came out of a | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:03:49.200 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | winch, like on the front of a pickup truck or something, and we'd | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:03:54.400 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | power the car with those and we'd run them at like double or triple their | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:03:57.760 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | rated voltage. So they immediately start overheating, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:01.200 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | but for that two minute match you can get, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:04.000 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | you know, a significant increase in the power output of those motors | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:06.000 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | before they burn out. And so you're doing the same thing for your battery packs, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:09.520 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | all the materials in the system. And I think there's something, something | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:12.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | intrinsically interesting about just seeing like where things break. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:16.800 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And did you offline see where they break? Did you | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:20.240 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | take it to the testing point? Like how did you know two minutes? Or was there a | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:23.760 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | reckless let's just go with it and see? We weren't very good at | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:26.640 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | BattleBots. We lost all of our matches the first round. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:30.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | The one I built first, both of them were these wedge shaped robots because | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:34.240 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | wedge, even though it's sort of boring to look | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:38.240 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | at, is extremely effective. You drive towards another robot and | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:40.000 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | the front edge of it gets under them and then they sort of flip over, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:43.200 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | kind of like a door stopper. And the first one had a | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:46.640 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | pneumatic polished stainless steel spike on the front that would shoot out about | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:49.840 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | eight inches. The purpose of which is what? Pretty, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:53.360 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | pretty ineffective actually, but it looks cool. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:56.400 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And was it to help with the lift? No, it was, it was just to try to poke holes | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:04:58.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | in the other robot. And then the second time I did it, which is the following, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:05:02.960 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | I think maybe 18 months later, we had a, well a titanium axe with a, with a | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:05:07.040 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | hardened steel tip on it that was powered by a hydraulic | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:05:12.640 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | cylinder which we were activating with liquid CO2, which was, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:05:16.640 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | had its own set of problems. So great, so that's kind of on the hardware side. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:05:21.920 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | I mean at a certain point there must have been born a fascination | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:05:26.160 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | on the software side. So what was the first piece of code you've written? | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:05:31.200 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | Go back there, see what language was it? | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:05:35.360 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | What, what was that? Was it Emacs? Vim? Was it a more | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:05:38.480 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | respectable modern IDE? Do you, do you remember any of this? | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:05:41.760 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | Yeah, well I remember, I think maybe when I was in | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:05:45.760 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | third or fourth grade, the school I was at, elementary school, had a bunch of | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:05:49.680 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | Apple II computers and we'd play games on those. And I | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:05:52.880 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | remember every once in a while something would, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:05:56.800 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | would, would crash or wouldn't start up correctly and it would dump you out to | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:05:58.640 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | what I later learned was like sort of a command prompt. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:06:02.560 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And my teacher would come over and type, I actually remember this to this day for | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:06:05.680 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | some reason, like PR number six or PR pound six, which is | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:06:08.640 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | peripheral six, which is the disk drive, which would fire up the disk and load the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:06:12.400 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | program. And I just remember thinking wow, she's | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:06:15.120 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | like a hacker, like teach me these, these codes, these error codes, that is what | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:06:17.200 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | I called them at the time. But she had no interest in that, so it | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:06:21.040 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | wasn't until I think about fifth grade that I had a school where you could | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:06:23.840 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | actually go on these Apple IIs and learn to program. And so it was all in basic, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:06:28.400 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | you know, where every line, you know, the line numbers are all number, that every | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:06:31.520 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | line is numbered and you have to like leave enough space | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:06:34.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | between the numbers so that if you want to tweak your code you go back and | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:06:37.920 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | the first line was 10 and the second line is 20. Now you have to go back and | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:06:41.600 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | insert 15 and if you need to add code in front of | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:06:44.720 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | that, you know, 11 or 12 and you hope you don't run out of line numbers and have | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:06:47.360 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | to redo the whole thing. And there's go to statements? Yeah, go to | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:06:50.240 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | and it's very basic, maybe hence the name, but a lot of fun. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:06:54.160 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | And that was like, that was, you know, that's when, you know, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:06:58.080 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | when you first program you see the magic of it. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:07:01.760 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | It's like, it just, just like this world opens up with, you know, endless | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:07:03.520 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | possibilities for the things you could build or | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:07:07.040 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | or accomplish with that computer. So you got the bug then, so | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:07:09.040 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | even starting with basic and then what C++ throughout, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:07:12.160 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | what did you, was there computer programming, computer science classes in | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:07:15.920 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | high school? Not, not where I went, so it was self | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:07:19.200 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | taught, but I did a lot of programming. The thing that, you know, sort of | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:07:22.320 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | pushed me in the path of eventually working on self driving cars is actually | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:07:27.760 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | one of these really long trips driving from my | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:07:31.280 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | house in Kansas to, to I think Las Vegas where we did the BattleBots competition | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:07:34.240 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | and I had just gotten my, I think my learner's permit or | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:07:39.440 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | early driver's permit and so I was driving this, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:07:43.680 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | you know, 10 hour stretch across western Kansas where it's just, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:07:47.040 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | you're going straight on a highway and it is mind numbingly boring. And I | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:07:50.480 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | remember thinking even then with my sort of mediocre programming | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:07:53.760 |
Kyle Vogt: Cruise Automation | Lex Fridman Podcast #14 | background that this is something that a computer can do, right? Let's take a | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0014-large.html#00:07:57.440 |
