No, they deserve credit. Otherwise protestors get the upper hand and get the dams decommissioned. If you downplay the right thing, the wrong thing for energy gets selected for other reasons.

It’s the combination of the two that’s challenging though. The force of a first stage boosting an upper stage to orbit is a lot different than a carnival ride style single stage apogee ride.

No public source, just talking to old coworkers at Google asking why the rollout was so incredibly slow in the Phoenix location. It’s almost all one big county and the driving conditions are the same across that whole valley. So why not ope

This is the name of the game in new ISPs. You can’t get v4 block purchases approved without a good address utilization plan. Giving a public IP to every residential customer doesn’t really pass muster anymore as a good use of v4 space.

It’s not, or at least it definitely wasn’t a year ago. Those cars were something like $700k each and then there is a lot of software dev and AI infra to pay for. They were charging more than Lyft and were still losing money per ride.

It wouldn’t matter for spacex, which is the point. It wouldn’t make “military contracts awkward”, whatever that means. Musk would still maintain the ability to control what SpaceX targets as far as customers go. And he could easily decline

Those aren’t good analogies because it costs nearly nothing to make that availability tradeoff and run things on your computer for your own fun. Raspberry pi was a huge step forward, the move to LLMs is two steps back.
