X is making it pretty clear that it is "Grok" posting those images and not the user. It is a separate posting that comes from an official account named "Grok". X has full control over what the official "Grok" account posts.

There is no functionality for the users to review and approve "Grok" responses to their tweets.

Yes, and that was a very stupid product decision. They could have put the image generation into the post editor, shifting responsibility to the users.

I'd guess Elon is responsible for that product decision.

In a competitive banking landscape the bank would do it for you, then just give you a competitive interest rate on your account. Is that not present in the US?

Seigniorage accrues to private entities instead of the state, enriching the owners of those private entities rather than everyone in the state that issues the currency.

Is there also an endpoint to get invoices for tax and accounting purposes?

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

- ACH fees are pretty small, depends on the payroll provider of course, so USD ACH transfer to Wise is pretty much free

- I bet with whatever way I can convert the stable coin to my local currency (EUR), that it will be more expensive than Wise. Certainly Paypal is really expensive (as in SWIFT transfer would be better)

After ACH, which I’m assuming you got for free as you mentioned, US to Poland for 1000 USD on Wise is still 0.46% which is multiple orders of magnitude more expensive.

More expensive then what? The magic that converts USDC into Zloty?

I wouldn't be too sure. Depends on NASAs mission profiles and a lot of factors. Falcon heavy can bring 26.7t to GTO in expendable mode and only 8t in reusable mode. Reusable cost of Falcon is US$97 million vs US$150 million expendable.

How much does it cost to develop and maintain the reusability? Is it worth the trade-offs in lower tons to orbit due to more weight? Is it worth it adjusting the payload into smaller units, including developing things like refueling in LEO?

Idk, I'm not on the inside doing those calculations...

SpaceX tends to expend cores they've gotten significant use out of, rather than new ones - so the core would have been "paid off" by then.

So proof of profitability is that they can shoot their own satellites into orbit?

When a company is operating at a scale where you are making orders of magnitude more orbital launches than NASA, operating a constellations of 10,000+ satellites, providing internet access to 10s of millions of people and 1 army, has raised $10s of billions in private markets at valuations in the $100s of billions, then the burden of proof is on you claiming the opposite.

The proof is that they are continuing to launch more mass into orbit than any other entity on the planet - while holding share liquidity events for their employees multiple times a year where they buy back shares. Proof is that they charge a lower cost to orbit than any of their competitors and has done so for years now.

Their revenue from Starlink is slated to be bigger than the entire NASA budget this year.

Yeah, but now compare this to pre-compiled headers. Maybe we should be happy with getting a standard way to have pre-compiled std headers, but now my build has a "scanning" phase which takes up some time.

Modules are a lot like precompiled headers, but done properly and not as a hack.

The OP does this and measures ~1.2x improvement over PCH.
