No, humans are designed to kill animals, eat their meat, and use other parts for clothing and more.

That misses the point of the post. They have actual uses; just not what they are hyped for.

I, for example, have a mixed receptive-expressive language disorder.

LLMs have been life changing for me. I can write out rambling scrambled attempts at saying things, and ask it to reword and make it concise and clear. Or I can ask it to analyze something I wrote.

But I always write it first, then have the LLM do a pass, then I come behind and study/correct the output.

So not every use is dumb, just like lasers are useful in science.

Some ion trajectories involve constant low acceleration. It really adds up time. You accelerate halfway there, then decelerate the rest of the way.

The dawn spacecraft mission to ceres has 48,000+ hours of gentle acceleration under ion propulsion. That’s 5.5 years of firing. But it gets over 38,620 km/h of delta-v (acceleration).

They are great.

Most businesses nowadays have a bit of a backlog. It’s more efficient that way, because you can keep the workload at 100%. So my interpretation is that a two week backlog would mean there’s a few other simulations ahead of you in line.

My interpretation is that the two weeks is a backlog. The drag coefficient guys probably have a bunch of models coming in, and they have a bit of an inbox and yours gets in the queue.
