I am, yes. As I said, I am aware of my privilege and even though I might technically theoretically be a valid asylum case It would feel like abusing a system designed to help people in actual dire need. So even though I am more than willing

A more than valid question! It's the only way I could figure out how to economically convey "I am a Russian who decided to leave Russia to not be complicit and because my history of protests and support for opposition makes it sca

Recently vibe-coded a web-app that takes your listening history from Apple Music (sad to see Spotify API go) and recommends a variety of different media based on that. Was truly surprised by how OK those recommendations are, given an extrem

When thinking about take-off/landing you have to take into account the powertrain, fuel, noise, power-to-weight ratio e.t.c. With modern electric motors, batteries, BMS’ e.t.c. we are at a point where system weight is comparable (the b

We are building a hybrid aircraft to connect cities with high speed door-to-door transportation, without train/airport infrastructure. It’s a powered 55-seater auto gyro - an electric helicopter during take-off and landing and a conven
