He is actually listening to people. And then actually answering their questions. In English - not stilted NASAese. A rarity in Washington these days.

Spent the day at Goddard Space Flight Center as the first stop on my roadshow across NASA’s centers. I’m not visiting for photo ops or VIP tours, but to get out where the action is and talk directly with the workforce, the industry partners and congressional delegations.

There’s no question there is real work to do across all of our centers, and Goddard is no exception. We carry dated, and in some cases, unsafe infrastructure on our books, along with programs that are not always aligned with our most pressing objectives. We can do better by listening to and empowering the best and brightest to work the problems and pursue the opportunities with urgency.

In that spirit, I enjoyed all the conversations at GSFC, including the tough questions, and seeing the flight hardware up close. I want to pass along my appreciation to the entire team, including those contributing to the exciting Dragonfly mission and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which is on track to launch on budget and ahead of schedule. Missions like these truly help us pursue the secrets of the universe. If we ensure our resources are focused on the real needle-moving objectives, I am highly confident we can launch even more grand missions of science and discovery in the years ahead.

@NASAAdmin Booked multiple AirBnBs to be sure we can be there to support our astronauts!

@rookisaacman super excited to meet you! The much needed inspiration was through the roof. I still want to know what the plans are for Goddard's Center for Robotics and Space Mobility (ROMO) mentioned in appropriations when you have the chance so I can get to work 👍 🚀

Does anyone know if there is a better way to do this?

It looks like @johnowhitaker & I may have found something crazy: LLMs can nearly perfectly memorise from just 1-2 examples!

We're written up a post explaining what we've seen, and why we think rapid memorization fits the pattern. Summary 🧵 follows.

@elonmusk You mean, designed for humans? 🤣

@intel I have an Edison from 2013 or so. Sad to discover no documentation or drivers available anymore for something I paid for and never got to use.

地下鉄の出入り口にある、この路線マーク。改札までの距離が近い順に左側から並んでるの、意外と知らない人多くてびっくり。これでいうと東西線が１番近くて三田線が遠い。東京の地下駅は出入り口多すぎるし、地下も広いから知っとくとわりと便利かも。
