GM snoo

Someone’s been thinking. 😂 My job requires a lot from me. I have a five-year agreement with the corp I work with right now that includes housing, parking with a garage, utilities, internet, and a budget for some good portion of food and bevs. - not including alcohol. Basically, they got a rented house for me. I know it sounds crazy amazing. It’s what they gave me. Here’s something I could do as a GM earlier this year. I can amend or customize to get some cool stuff for myself and my staff. For example: (if budget allows) My workplace now serves Red Bull. So I can have that whenever I want. My staff can have them a market price (very small profit margins) or we sell them to our guests (good profit margins). That’s something I can setup where it benefits me and happy energetic staff members who’ll chug through these guys. I present my idea to the owners how they could earn a small margin from those sales. They approved it quick. Our workplace also has a bar. So we can have drinks at the end of our shifts. Now I don’t spend on energy drinks either and a mini fridge full of cold coconut red bulls 😎

EXCLUSIVE: GM cancels deal with new US rare-earth magnet plant, documents say

Yes. Iris is too expensive for consumer vehicles though. They will need to get significant funding to complete halo in order to have a shot with an OEM like GM or Ford.

GM and Ford are soon to be gone. If the Dems start winning the Congress and eventually the WH, they might open up doors to Chinese brands, which might decimate the American manufacturers.

Lived through 2008. I was only a year into my career. There was nothing special to do. Same percentage of my paycheck went into my 401k every two weeks. I did take a gamble on some individual stocks in a brokerage account, and made some good short term money on that. Other than the total loss of GM. 😅 Now? Targeting early retirement in 5-10 years. I have a separate all-weather portfolio that's sized to live well for ~3-5 years without needing to touch my growth assets. 50% bonds, 20% managed futures, 20% defensive/dividend equities, 10% cash equivalents. I'm confident and comfortable with that.

GM also states they want to keep the platform hardware agnostic so they can change sensors at any time.

**Job Title: Principal Software Engineer – Core OS, Vehicle Compute** Just posted Oct 8 2026 [https://search-careers.gm.com/en/jobs/jr-202620205/principal-software-engineer-core-os-vehicle-compute/](https://search-careers.gm.com/en/jobs/jr-202620205/principal-software-engineer-core-os-vehicle-compute/) one of job responsibilities: * Architect the multi-operating-system foundation that enables embedded Linux, including Yocto-based distributions, Android, and **QNX** to run on shared vehicle compute with consistent platform services and interfaces.  Seems that GM might be running both with different layers for their system :) We shall see

The model creators can't turn a profit and have so much locked in future spend they can never pay (and that's ignoring that free, open-weight models only get better). The neoclouds are leveraged to the tits. There's not enough electrical capacity to even build all this shit, assuming there is enough demand for it (and the demand is purely speculative). The public is fighting back so hard on data centers that the politicians are going to lose their jobs for supporting it, and they aren't going to do that. I see this as DotCom 2.0. The bad names are going to drag everything else down, but the survivors will be making more money than ever after the pop bottoms out. The problem is the market is so over leveraged to AI that the pop would be huge. Ford and GM had junk credit because of macro. The Neoclouds have junk credit because their business model is a Ponzi scheme that may never hit.

That is not confirmed, it is only an educated guess by google AI. Another potential option is that it is an internally developed LiDAR sensor by GM. It could also be Valeo. I doubt it is any sensor from Microvision as it is late in the game for a potential 2028 SOP and I think there would be some signs if it were Microvision. Cepton originally signed a deal with GM (via their Tier 1 Koito) in 2019. That deal became public knowledge in 2021. That deal fell through in late 2023. Koito acquired Cepton in 2024.

Super Cruise is GM's hands-free driver assistance technology available in more than 20 models in North America.3 Super Cruise is capable of handling steering, acceleration, and braking on compatible roads under certain circumstances. In 2028, GM plans to introduce eyes-off capabilities, meaning drivers will be able to look away from the road while the system is engaged.1 The tech will be available first on the Cadillac ESCALADE IQ. ... These advanced capabilities are made possible by high-definition maps downloaded to each vehicle. Using specially equipped vehicles fitted with LiDAR sensors, which bounce light beams off their surroundings to create a 3D image of the physical environment, the Super Cruise mapping process collects data that’s tagged for the system to use. This information is then matched against what the vehicle's sensors detect to precisely locate the vehicle on the road. That extra knowledge of its surroundings can make Super Cruise a very capable system.

GM!

Yes. I think that was immediately after the Covid crash and spike. So maybe somewhere in 2022? I remember sending my brother a message about it. I added up the top 10 market caps of Volkswagen, Toyota, Stellantis, Ford, GM, etc etc and it was still about 100 billion shy of Tesla. When I added up the sales Tesla came out to 3%. So 3% of all car sales but worth 100 billion more than ALL combined.

Most of the stuff I find is junk lol but once and again I find something nice. The nicest most expensive that I’ve pulled out of the ground was a 1956 US Air Force Academy ring it had an F 86 saber jet and F100 d on it with a GM on top. I don’t remember what it was. It was bright blue had some diamonds around it and the guy‘s name McGrath because of the ring I was able to hunt down his family and ask them if they wanted the ring back and they did I was able to get it to them. It was 14 carat solid gold. I did look him up. He was shot down in Vietnam and 67 and never found reported missing until the 90s and then he was upgraded to kill the action.

Yeah it's crazy. This is an AI summary but I'd guess those numbers are fairly accurate: |**Company**|**Current Market Capitalization**|Net Profit per Quarter|**Earnings Status & Notes**| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |**Tesla (TSLA)**|\~$1,530 Billion|**$787 Million**|Official Q3 2026 results (reported Oct 21, 2026); net income fell 43%.| |**Toyota (TM)**|\~$226 – $256 Billion|**\~$7.5 Billion** (Avg.)|Calendar Q3 results expected in early November.

For the RBC GM Quant Trading phone screen, expect a quick blend of core probability, mental arithmetic, and concise behavioral questions. Desk interviewers usually test conditional probability, Bayes' theorem, expected value, and basic market concepts like option payoffs or how interest rate movements affect asset prices. They also drill into whatever quantitative projects or coding languages appear on your resume, so make sure you can explain your modeling decisions and assumptions clearly without getting bogged down in unnecessary jargon. Behavioral fit matters just as much as math for RBC, because traders want to see how you communicate under pressure and whether you take feedback well. Treat every technical problem like a conversation, talk through your thought process out loud, and state your starting assumptions upfront so the interviewer can guide you if you hit a rough patch. If you want structured practice handling surprise technical prompts, the [interviews.chat](http://interviews.chat) my team built helps candidates stay composed and articulate their reasoning smoothly to land competitive desk offers.
