Because if you pretend some students are "just bad at taking tests" you can further pretend that the outcomes of standardized tests aren't good reflections of the reality of intelligence and educational efficacy.

Absolutely incorrect. Rote, repetitive tasks at work that I fully comprehend can now trivially be automated with a Python script without having to dig online for just the right library. On the hobby side, I built a small home automation kit off an ESP32 on a board I soldered together, all guided by something that is quiet knowledgeable but never gets tired of being asked why. I frequently test the limits of LLMs and still find them less wise and probably less intelligent than myself - utterly incapable of functioning as a good architect - but hallucinations are almost entirely a thing of the past and the knowledge base is fantastically deep.

I use it all the damn time and absolutely love it. The barrier to entry for all sorts of automation for simple tasks and little electronics hobbies have dropped to the floor thanks to LLMs.

And that makes him terrible?

Generations?

...Indians?

What would "hollowing out" SpaceX even look like? Firing most of the engineers at XAI and SpaceX, renting out the compute and reducing spend on Starship to focus on the core business of F9 + Starlink? It would immediately become wildly profitable and a lot less risky of an investment, but the share price would justifiably drop (since most of the perceived value is in expectations of future growth) and shareholders would be extracting revenue from the capital rather than paying labor and increasing the value of the capital.

It's still pretty harsh relative to others in that league. I've seen a (current) Princeton student visibly holding themselves back from violence as a Harvard student was explaining how it just made sense that everyone got an A at Harvard, they're all good students, they do their homework and do it well etc. etc.

Especially in STEM, standard practice at Princeton is to list your GPA and then the department average to explain why you're the one sucker from a good school with a sub-4.0 GPA.

Many such cases

Not since FDR

Then I appreciate your honest curiosity and I'd be happy to answer any more questions you have on the subject.

isnt spacex absolutely devastating the environment it inhabits in Florida?

No. They launch from the same place we've been launching rockets since Mercury, not much is changing other than cadence.

Also they are polluting the atmosphere and oceans with failed starships

Each Starship launch produces less air and water pollution than a single cruise ship tour. It should be very, very low on your list of pollution priorities.

and LEO with star link, are they not?

Not really. Besides the fact that space is really, really big, they're the first company (to my knowledge) to fully automate collision avoidance. They initially launch their satellites in such a low orbit that they'll fall back down in less than a month if any of them fail immediately, then they raise their orbit to a height that'll still see them fall back down in less than a decade in case of catastrophic failure. They delayed their sat-to-sat communications for a few years to rework just a single part that had a small chance of surviving reentry; all the rest burns up.

Again, this is a rounding error of a pollution source.

Sonic boom never reaches the ground.

Jupiter, Venus, and Mars are hilariously bright. Not a chance of losing our views of those anytime soon.

Is this a bit?

Thanks from a year later, this fixed my issue as well

Why are you arguing like an 8-year-old?

Of that promised money, $14.6 billion came from contracts with NASA...

The bulk of the rest of SpaceX's contracts are with the Department of Defense, which has promised $5.6 billion

They are paid to provide services to the government. The only things that could even generously be called subsidies listed in that article amount to a small rounding error.

You are neither intelligent enough nor informed enough to be this confident.

First to 60 wins it?

Yeah that's a Texan home game

Third ward Coogs out here casually mugging people

That Houston defence is so suffocating it looks like they're playing 6 on 5

I think a Republican who voted for a bill to this effect would be primaried.

Signal/noise ratio is so bad it's not worth paying attention to any of them.
