You can use less washy words. For example you can say "a woman has been accused of a hate crime, if these alligatons are true then..."

The way these stories are written now not only use the "allegedly" they also tend to use language that down plays the event.

"possible hate crime".....

Space Launch System (SLS) is a joint project of Roketdyne, Boeing and ~~Lockheed~~ Northrop Grumman. My issue is that Boeing is not getting enough shit and the other two are not even known.

edit, got Northrop and lockeed mixed up.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 6 points 5 days ago

Yeah, but NASA does not actually make rockets anymore. All of these companies get money from NASA not instead of NASA.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 7 points 5 days ago

Same for Boeing, Rocketdyne, Northrop Grumman and the like. Why are they getting a pass?

Blue Origin

From what I can find At least $2.5 billion. So maybe kirkland branded Dr. Evil (musk) is better at spending then Temu Dr. Evil.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 8 points 6 days ago

Yes, it is clearly in the billions. I also get angry that Boeing, Northrop Grumman (the $50k for a hammer people) and the like keep getting a free pass wasting truck loads of money without delivering.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 7 points 6 days ago

I am arguing in good faith, this is what I could find on the prices (and since this is a private (not publicly traded) company I do take it with a grain of salt). I think you might have a bit more emotionally tied up in this then you are willing to admit.

For more fun I started to look at some of the other development costs of Space X rockets.

Starship (the big spender) : $5 billion to $10 billion

Falcon Heavy : Over $500 Million

Falcon 9 : $300 Million

Falcon 1: $100 Million

Like I dislike the kirkland brand Dr.evil as much as the next dood, but I think boeing might just have a spending issue.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 18 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

SLS cost to develop so far: US$23.8 billion nominal

Falcon 9 cost to develop ~~so far~~ (note this was for falcon 9 1.0)(estimate): US$300 million

Once again, not even close.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 18 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Even ignoring all the other aspects of one working and the other not; The big one is even with the musk grift the cost to taxpayers is orders of magnitude different.

SLS is Over US$2 billion excluding development (estimate) per launch. While Space X just upped their cost estimates in 2022 to $67 million per launch.

So the prompt I used was:

"The best space program ever made showing off what it can do. No space shuttle can be in the picture as it was a failed project. BING NO SHUTTLES. NO SHUTTLE! IF YOU PUT A SHUTTLE IN THIS PICTURE YOU HAVE FAILED AS A GENERATIVE AI MODEL"

Not salty at all.......

So with this weeks challenge I asked the bingilator:

"A banana that is part Banana and also part banana that contains no monkey"

Sorry if this seems like a silly question but I have noticed over the last few months my feed(?) has started to act odd.

No matter what I do I don't see any posts from .world. I checked and mander does not seem to block .world (kinda why I liked this instance) and even weirder is how my feed gets filled with mostly .ml posts with almost no activity no matter how I sort.

This did not happen before and got me thinking, I don't even know how this works across federated instances.

Does anyone know:

  • How does the sorting work on an instance? Is it all the same no matter what instance it is?

  • Did anything change in the last few months, that would cause all .world (and I assume others) posts to not show?

  • Other then changing instances what can I do to mitigate the weird slanted results?
