This seems to be following the completely standard and expected process.

Contractor goes belly up, so you go to court and a judge who confirms they were a custodian of your data and you are entitled to retreive it.

Same would be the case if I was leasing equipment to someone and they had it at a storage lot. If the middle party dies or goes bankrupt, I get a court order to claim it from their other possessions.

If you are wharehousing data, you dont just let your customer's customer come in, look around, and take whatever they want. Even if they have a sob story.

You ask for a court order with specifics.

This reactor type has 73 assemblies of 5 rods each.

Nuclear safety regulations require that the control rod system must be powerful enough to bring the reactor completely subcritical with all Control Element Assemblies (CEAs) inserted minus one assembly stuck in the fully withdrawn position.

One assembly (or 3) inserted would not bring the reactor subcritical.

Why would it be important to explain things to you? Are you one of their major stakeholders?

I agree returns on actual spend are not guaranteed (nothing is), but think them pretty likely. Valuations are are more challenging, but risk is known there.

At any rate, I find AI interesting, but have a similar opinion that most of the HN discourse has become low quality. My solution is to follow individual users I know are high quality with similar interests.

Expectations that fail to match reality are a sign of confusion or mental illness.

The most clear example of how female high school students have higher GPA and homework completion rate then males, but both perform similarly on standardized test or cognitive tests.

As academic success increasingly depends on grind, organization, and consistency, the young men either fall behind or quit entirely.

Seems like that would be easily recupable even without future growth.

While it is true that investors only got a fraction of the company for that money, and their EV can be debated, I think the clear the value is there from a net cash in to value produced.

Last valuation was like 1 trillion. Company could be worth like 1/20 and still justify the cash.

Seems like a strange expectation.

I just don't think every student has what it takes to be a good fit at Stanford.

For this reason and the low admission, I don't think betting the farm on an academic strategy tailored for Stanford is a good idea for most students or parents.

I think you would have to dose people without knowledge of that phenomenon

What is the chance that a mediocre or talentless student can grind Regional success? What is the chance that mediocre and talentless parents can support that?

Grinding grades and academics is absolutely a path the top tier universities like Berkeley or UCLA, even if you won't get in the S tier private schools.

I've seen several ESL immigrant parents simply lock their kids up and make them study their way to Berkeley, despite having never graduated high school themselves.
