The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Like Kitty Hawk where the first flight was taken?

A That's where they're named after. They spun out of Singularity University at NASA Ames Research Center, so it was an introduction, and then we had a Zoom call, and I was like, oh, I'm visiting customers in Santa Barbara. I know you live in LA. Do you want to come up for dinner and hang out with us and get your hands on gecko materials? I said it in A serious manner, but I also was like, that's a bit of a drive. Um, but he was like, yeah. And I was like, okay, we're doing this, you know? So I brought my head of engineering to the dinner, had some demos at the table. Had to borrow a bottle of wine, of course, do a little, like, wine trick on the pinky. And then after we walked out of that meeting, there was little geckos that were on the sidewalk. It was really cute.
