A guy named Walker developing legged-robot software is even more on the nose than a guy named Karpathy developing autonomous-vehicle software.

A noble principle, albeit not without its lamentable failures.

Sometimes it works out opposite. Freakonomics talked about a man in NYC who named one of his sons "Winner" and then another son a few years later "Loser".

Winner ended up as a homeless petty criminal. Loser ended up a NYPD detective.

Oh my god, how have I never noticed Karpathy and Car-Path-y? Amazing!
Car-(em)pathy... Now I can't unsee it!

Thanks.
