Full Autopilot in GTA Using TensorFlow

Let's all give this 12 year old kid some applause. Me water-cooling my xbox 360 (yes, and I wasn't alone in doing so) at 13 felt cool, but this is on another level.

not 12. 15

I'm still jealous. At 15 I had a 10 MB hard drive and 4 color graphics available to me. While I am happy about who I am, I do wish sometimes my childhood had better technology available.

Frankly I think if I'd had better technology as a child I'd be even more content-addicted and boredom-averse than I am now. At least the way I am I can make it through a wedding without checking my phone.

The best part about being a kid is that you have nothing to think about other than a little school work. You are free to scour the web finding all the newest tools and put them to use for 'play'.

Not saying it can't be done as an adult, just harder to get that time and unbroken/unlimited focus.

I’d love to spend some time living in a serviced apartment with meals included.

Or something similar to a retirement village or university student accommodation, or be able to afford a staff of servants. You get the idea anyway.

I am impressed by this 15 year old.

It's all fun and games until you start dealing with C++ thread issues.

you'd be surprised how far 600/month goes in south america

Your praise notwithstanding, I think this kid "was" 12 in 2014 or 2015. From his "about" page [0]:

> I am currently a student working on programming projects since I am 12 years old. Back then I was learning HTML with a good friend of mine. We were trying to sell those websites we made but with fairly little success.Around 4 years ago I stumbled across Python. And I immediately fell in love with it. Later 2015 I was impressed by the Google Assistant...

Just being retired is good enough for me.

His voice sounds a little well developed for a 12 yr but what do I know! :) Edit: after checking it seems he's 15. Still pretty impressive tho!

Imagine if jail fit that description.

The downside there is that I _had_ to make it through a whole bunch of weddings without a smartphone and social media to escape to...

You can do this quite affordably in huge numbers of countries if you can earn your income with a decent remote job in the US. The things to think about are time zone, tropical disease, quality of food, and safety. There are a whole range of places from Arkansas, to Costa Rica, to Panama, to Nicaragua.

The thing you'll lose out on is anyone you know, unless you can get them to go with you, or can make new friends in your destination.

Correct !

Yes that's really the best part. School 5 hrs a day and then free time !

I’m in Australia so I often half-joke: let’s sell everything we own and go live like kings on a remote Indonesian island.
