Also, the viewer packaged with nuScenes was built by Steven Hao from Scale, and while it was packaged as part of nuScenes it should probably be called Scale's viewer instead of nuScenes' viewer. The original viewer in the nuscenes SDK has the Scale logo, but it looks like Lyft removed that in the fork. Maybe a bit of public shaming will fix that...

Dear Lyft marketing person who wrote this: we are a data labeling company, and you may think that means we have a bunch of useless bozos working here like most other data labeling companies, but that's not true - e.g, Steven is one of the smartest people in the world - https://stats.ioinformatics.org/people/3113 - he learns ridiculously quickly - e.g, gets to number one on random video games in a few weeks and learned to boulder L10 in a few months from scratch (normally takes years/decades and most climbers never get there)

At first I was on kind of on your side against the other comments telling you to delete your other comment. I think its important to set the record straight if you can as early as possible. A small retraction/correction isn't guaranteed to make the frontpage of HN again.

But then this comment took it into a weird turn with how fast steven can learn rock climbing (seriously, i am still kind of unsure if we're talking about rock climbing because its so random and unrelated).

I think you're just jealous that he learned to boulder L10 in a few months from scratch AND gets to number one in video games!

Have a wonderful day tomorrow. Good luck.

I'm hoping this was coordinated with the CEO and he's getting free lunch tomorrow for the successful publicity stunt.

"Gets to number one in random video games"

Genius

Intelligence makes you good at everything, it's almost not fair.

> Steven is one of the smartest people in the world

Also has a fan club on HN. :D

Wow dude (or dudess), I was on your side but you are losing me there.

You seem to be pretty pissed, and I hope you are anonymous and not Steven Hao... There is little room for emotion in business. Grow up.

These should probably be deleted.

Not nitpicking, genuinely curious. L10? I've never heard of that climbing scale.

There is no such thing. They have to have meant v10, and climbing v10 "in a few months" is an incredibly skeptical claim.

Without some kind of gymnast background I honestly don't think it's possible. Even 0 to v10 in a year is hard to believe. I've heard of phenoms doing it in 2 or 3 years, and don't doubt a year is possible... but a few months? Kind of like going from couch to sub 5-minute mile in a few months.
