Look at the Falcon rocket history. They started out at a very similar point, though at a smaller scale. And yet now they are comfortably human rated. They have landed the last 171 times in a row without fail, with another one coming this evening to add to that incredible number.
The guy at the helm is a terrible person, but this does not discredit the absolutely insane progress they have made.
You're comparing the world's first fully reusable rocket that also happens to be the world's most powerful operational rocket to old technology? The payload capacity of this vehicle is immense. There is not a single aspect of it that isn't brand new, from its proportions, engine power cycle, engine amount, construction materials, you can go on almost endlessly.
These incremental tests are what allow them to move at this incredible speed. Traditional rocket development doesn't take years, it takes decades. You have to consider that this isn't a government trying to outcompete another one, it's a private company. They are pushing the envelope with everything they're doing.
Well for me it is not really that much of a hyperbole, I consider being able to access the files on your own device pretty much a necessity. Yes it is absolutely no problem that protections like this are enabled out of the box, but it should all be optional, even if that process is kind of difficult (disabling by connecting to a computer and doing some sort of configuration for example).
Maybe I'm just upset because an update recently broke Android/data access and forced me to look for a new workaround for 30 minutes (to access my own files on the device I supposedly own!)
Well sounds like they didn't go far enough then, they should cut all internet access so that users don't accidentally download malicious apps!
A user that wants full control of their own device should have that option available. There is no good reason Android makes it difficult to access its data folder for example for users that do want to mess around with that stuff.
Before getting Sponsorblock, I would always manually skip forward past the integrated advertisements. This tool does the exact same thing but faster and more convenient for me. My conscience is unaffected
Not sure if you're serious, but as someone who graduated a US high school just a few years ago, yes young people actually do care about stupid things like this. Real otherwise completely normal seeming people discriminate based on bubble color.
Or Windows Copilot
Insider info or massive coincidence?
That sounds delightfully complicated
Just like all the words you used to compose that sentence already existed and yet you made it yourself, language models can take tokens that they know generally go together and make original sentences. Your argument is that a dictionary exists, therefore authors are lying to everyone by saying that they wrote something.
Really? The only problem I've had on desktop is the very frequent updates
The space shuttle was never meant to be 'reusable' but rather 'refurbishable.' The big difference is that Starship is designed from the ground up for rapid reusability, without manually checking each of the 24000 unique tiles of the STS orbiter.
With the stainless steel construction, SpaceX is aiming to use their new upper stage up to 3 times a day with only refueling and a basic check in between. It is a complete paradigm shift from traditional rockets.
