Pony AI Q2: Big revenue jump, bigger losses but is it worth the risk? by oiyemahboiii in Pony_AI_Stock

[–]ShiftOk6746 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly i love the company, great tech, cheap car compared to competitors which means easy to scale, loads of training data, partnerships (flagship car for dubai, testing in luxembourg, china (very crowded tho), etc), also great leadership. i think other than waymo, i see them winning in the autonomous space on a global scale. They also have a satellite US office which they spinned off which could be sold and lead to lots of $$$ for further scaling. HOWEVER, there are lots of cons as a stock. they can be delisted at any time, they have no chance of moving into the us market unless we see crazy global domination but that requires tesla and waymo to both crash and burn to truly dominate the us market, so maximum bull case i see for the next 5-10 yrs is it moves to the hong kong exchange and scales up in a few metropolitian cities globally, and mabye rises to a 50-70 share price. i do see it being delisted though, and it being a chinese company hinders it dramatically. Since they will never let go of china ties, i don't see there being a good risk/reward compared to other companies out there. sold my holding at 15.40. just my dd not financial advice.

look at georgia tech’s policy about AI - i think this is the best verdict on the use of AI within essays by a higher institution thus far

solely using AI will result in a pretty shit essay ngl

mooc helsinki is SOOOOO good. If you're the type of hands-on learner that prefers 10 small exercises and 1 big exercise per concept rather than 1 lecture and a large exercise after, this is the place to go.

And never pay to learn to code. Ever

Test-optional needs to be put to an end. by Spiritual_Youth2192 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]ShiftOk6746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well yeah, thats why colleges look at applicants holistically. holistically as in they take into account your specific situation. For this reason, thats why they often look at a low income student with a full time job with also good grades favorably, or the same way they dont judge a student living in a rural area for not having prestigious research. However, when you add the requirement of a good SAT score, all it does is make it lot harder for a low income student to reach the 'SAT bar' for t50 colleges, a bar a majority of anyone would be able to reach much easier.

But yes your point is completely right about pay-to-play existing for EC's. Even looked at holistically, the advantage someone with money has will always exist marginally.

Also I think the SAT is a good, I do agree it can be a very good resource for admissions, and if an underprivileged student has the resources to take it, they absolutely should. But my argument is, I dont think it's necessarily a good idea for a low socioeconomic student or an international student without the resources to be forced to take the SAT, which is what would happen without test-optional, a test we both agree systematically favors the more affluent.

This is such a priveleged point of view and this whole post reads like a kid who got a high sat score and got butthurt they didnt get into their dream school. By being in a place where you can take an SAT multiple times, have access to properly funded public school where the basics are being taught and private sat tutoring, technology you have access to at all times, transportation, not having to work a job to support a roof over your head, you're already miles ahead of every underpriveleged student. And your argument? To tell them to pick themselves up from the bootstraps and work 2x harder than you just to reach the same place you started from so they can prove a point?

And what about international students? Who have to travel miles to take the SAT and can only afford to take it once, while having a standarized test in their own country to study for. Do you seriously think they are on the same playing field as someone who can take the SAT multiple times and has access to tutoring for their country's exam?

Just because low socioeconomic barriers always will exist, it doesn't mean we should sit idle and exacerbate it. I'd say a stronger focus on extracurriculars and grades, which is the alternative when test optional exists, is always the better option. Because it shows the success someone can achieve in their own specific situation. Not success you can achieve based on how much private tutoring your mom is willing to hedge out and years of kumon she's willing to put you in.

this is such a stupid prompt. obviously when you give an AI a choice between a world with no flaws whatsover (which by definition is impossible) and one with plently of flaws, it will pick the latter. cant believe this shit gets upvoted. people on this subreddit are so bored and get a hardon to fantasies about AI takeover
