Reference quoted by news articles on the subject on how long it was estimated to take for the C-Lion1 to get repaired. However, you likely have a point, that the mid-Atlantic probably add some % to the on-site repair time and ++ on time to

Ha, it's got Lockheed Martin printed on the fuselage. $11.5M might pay for the budget committee to calculate how much they're going to squander on the project and what the sliding milestone profile will look like.

Cool. Thanks for the confirmation answer. Just figured maybe "money efficiency?" Get double functions out of the same wiring path? Or it might do something neat.

Sure, which of the 24 Atlantic cables are you going to cut with their 5-15 day repair time estimates? Or maybe the 20+ routing the other way around the Earth. (See map linked above)

Thank you for providing the reference. That was my exact complaint on reading the article. "Seriously, you went through that entire article, and never gave people the ability to personally explore the cable connections themselves? Sha

Reading through, appears this is mostly a manufacturing concern that goes away once the chip is actually active. Correct? The charge buildup goes away, and then there's no further need for the diode antenna. However, second question,

Detroit's actually kind of impressive the drop that Detroit's managed to obtain in the last four years since Covid. The jump at 2020 was probably horrifying to the citizens, yet afterward, really serious downward trend. 262 murd

Thanks. Had not actually looked at the numbers of Philly that in depth. Unfortunately, has personally started to be such cynicism it's often expected there's usually a massively lopsided overhead of administrators with moderatel

That's actually fair. Philly's 2022 numbers were 503 murders / 1793 woundings, and 2023 numbers were 422 murders / 1376 woundings. 84% murders / 76.5% woundings. Definitely trending in a better direction. If the

Started looking and found out there's some much worse, and far more obvious cases that need to implement these reforms. [1] UPenn is THE most obvious. Sitting on a $20,000,000,000 endowment fund that went up +170% over 10 years while

Generally agree with you. Looking at some of the sites, there's likely less chance of getting picked up. If anything Bloomberg probably still scans the sites, and then adds those that meet Bloomberg's criteria. Personal cynicism

Anecdotally, I found the same in terms of art and text output in interview conversations with college students at a bar in my local area. The problem does not appear to be localized to chess output. Went something like: "Wow, these C

I don't really like Zuck all that much, he's made all kinds of horrifying comments over the years, yet this article confuses me. Also, this article itself seems like LLM content being produced in the high level fight among 1000 m

Similar thought, and Google acquire does seem like a plausible route. However, checking over on Play [1] they've apparently got In-App purchasing at $3-50 and 300+ cities and 1000+ transits that let you buy fare and passes. Seems lik
