Agreed. There are always large amounts of money being poured into aviation and most of what comes out is knowledge. It's always exciting to see futuristic designs and bleeding edge tech but there are a lot of footnotes in aviation hist

Even small changes to time tested designs provide significant risk. A completely new body style will inevitably provide completely new failure modes. Pressurizing a tube vs pressurizing a pancake (or flattened sphere, or some other easy app

I saw a post that some teachers are now asking students to ask ChatGPT to do their assignments… and then critique it where it is wrong. I feel like this might be an interesting method for places where the default response tends to be someon

Not everybody who can run, runs. Not everybody who runs, runs close to their full potential. Even elite athletes have a life that can “get in the way.” Many who run close to their full potential get injured and set their training back.

So, you answer your phone to the scam and… now they have your voice too. Talking on the phone is now an unmitigated liability.

I have a projector that I just leave off the network. Do TVs require a network connection now? What happens when they don't have one?

That only makes my question even more applicable... just with a wider scope. As for your question: I personally don't want data, I want a service backed by sound data and expert validation+analysis.

I'm glad someone managed to save the data that we all payed for. My question is, how will this site stay relevant? The collection/analysis/monitoring of the current situation is as important as historic data. Turning current

AFAICR, Linux was far easier to run stuff on by that point. Playing with different variants of Unix was certainly fun though! I remember being blown away by an Irix+OpenGL demo on “deprecated hardware” that a friend had access to in the lat

"Amazon bins" ... or maybe just reusable bins that aren't specific to a company? See: shipping containers. A standard bin for home delivery could still have "Amazon" painted on it but the rest of the infrastructure

I go to Costco when I have something else to do in the area; It's almost never a "trip to Costco" for me. Others have mentioned the parking lot sizes. If we wanted the best of both worlds, we could have online shopping at Cos

You’ve clearly not seen monkeys. /sarcasm I would argue that management is a better discipline to pull from for employing LLMs; It is better equipped to deal with non-determinism and going completely off the rails.

Most/all airfields predate the purchase of a home. The noise complaints come from people who came long after the airfield was established.

You could switch between them depending on the browser. Desktop users are more likely to want an URL anyway, IMHO. FWIW: iOS has a "copy" option in the share popup.

I build using excess solar from my house. The build host is a small arm64 SBC that doesn’t require cooling in my passively cooled garage. The resources behind your post likely have a larger carbon footprint.

It’s fairly easy to build your own kernel packages from vanilla sources in Debian. I’m running the latest 7.0.x within a few hours of its release. The build takes about 30-45 minutes depending on how much time I spend on skimming the Change

Good thing we are working so hard to automate the kind of work where you sit in the shade at a desk. (/sarcasm) I think the disconnect between many people hearing "2C of warming" and the overall effects that will have is gros

For anyone that hasn't had heat sickness, it's not a one-and-done ordeal. You become more sensitive to heat after getting sick from it. It can easily take a month of careful exposure to regain tolerance but working in the same con

This feels like a BOFH response but I'm strangely not opposed to it; If you generate something, you should own it ... regardless of what tool you used to generate it.

The Pilot in Command (PIC) holds absolute, ultimate responsibility and final authority for the operation and safety of the aircraft. Also, in another reply you state, "aircrew has actual legal authority which stems from the fact that t

This. Many people are unaware of just how much authority a captain has; Failing to follow their instructions is (basically) a felony. It's best to just not mess around on an aircraft.
