Nice idea, but this is not how flight planning works. The optimization algorithms that airlines use consider a broader range of variables than just fuel, since you also have cost per hour that the engine is running, cost per hour for the cr

I'm working on a hosting platform for AI-written apps: https://apphaven.eu/ The idea is to make it easier for not-so-technical users to ask their Claude Code or Codex (or similar) agent to deploy the app. And then the

That's not really how it works. The industry does not treat a go around like an error. You'll only ever get questions when you don't go around while procedures clearly require it, like what seems to have happened in this case

When building boring web applications with a sizeable team that need to run for a long time. Hiring developers is easy since there are many, there is nearly no magic and the language is quite strict and type safe so it works well with a lar

No, a go around is not a pilot error and it's not punished. It's almost the opposite. There is automatic monitoring for stable approach criteria (simplified: you must be at speed X with flaps selected etc by altitude Y). So this e

AI slop to the max, what a bad article. Now on the issue itself: Why doesn't Tesla report the version and whether it was FSD or Autopilot?

There is also a baby products online store in the Netherlands that for religious reasons is closed on Sunday. You can browse the site but you can't buy anything. The page is in Dutch, it explains that they're closed because get be

Their goal isn't only safe storage, it's also being able to sell when needed. You can't quickly trade with the gold that's in their own safe storage facility in Zeist, because you would need to physically transport it. T

Selling to the US is equally complex, every state has their own sales tax rules and whether they apply to your type of product. Some exclude SaaS, some don't. And then for B2B you also have to apply the tax unless the business present

The visualisation is nice to compare with different engine types as well: https://random.ma.ttias.be/boxermotor My only complaint would be that there is no inline-6 while that does have some interesting properties in terms

If you have the right authorisation on a business account you can "direct debit" from any account. It let's you charge a bank account in a similar way as a US creditcard can be charged by number and expiry date. Technically t

They will have moat in the satellite launching business, which is not useful in the AI datacenter market. You can put AI chips in datacenters in the desert for far less than $100/kg. With lots of solar power available, the option to ea

I would hope that somewhere at Google there is a policy that says you can't do anti-fraud and security checks in frontend only...

I've created a simple project for that, except that by default they open PRs on Forgejo/Github/Gitlab. It's open source and the workflows are config files, so you can configure it to allow you to pull from them instead o

It's a joke, Claude AI calls everything load bearing. Once you see it it cannot be unseen.

I agree, the color was great, and also in general Windows 2000 was very good. I used both the desktop and server versions for years. After that Windows XP made me switch to Linux. Since then I've only really used Debian and Mac OS. I r

Yes lots of people swim in both the lake and the narrow parts. The lake also has a few sand beaches that are popular in the summer. And designated swimming areas with shallow water for kids like this: https://share.google/5b

There is electricity now, but it's quite new. Before that ours used to run on solar + batteries, you don't want a noisy generator in the middle of a nature area. A holiday home doesn't need that much electricity, warm water a

Yes but those mostly live landside, there are holiday homes at the edge of the lake as well. There was a plan to allow permanent use, but I think it now changed to only allowing it for people that already live there and no new cases.

Water levels in this area are tightly managed by pumps. Also in normal times they pump water in and out to keep a specific level. All of this is lower than the Amsterdamrijnkanaal, so without pumps it would flood, water doesn't natural

People don't really live there, these are holiday/recreational homes. My family owns two of those islands with a holiday home. Typically you use them for the weekend. My mom for example lives in a busy city and has a small garden

The water use is for cooling and sometimes includes indirect use for electricity generation. But before you call it "insane amounts of water" consider that the 700.000 liters quoted for training GPT-3 is less than 1 time spraying

They even do that to large transmission lines. First shutdown/isolate, then connect to ground or short circuit. If anyone then accidentally turns something back on it will fail immediately. A few years ago a transmission line in the Ne

The overall American economy is going to pay the price in the long term. And current foreign policy is reducing trust in America as a reliable and stable partner, which will make things even worse.

This is the only reason I still want a Voron. I don't need the extra speed, I don't print that much, but building it is a great project.

Usually yes. I was very surprised it also goes through confusing road works in my area without intervention. That requires driving on the wrong side of the road, without lines, over some of these metal plates. It waits for opposite traffic

BMW has a talent in that space. Over engineered modules with terrible software. I recently drove a Toyota rental and they seem to have hired some former BMW software people as well. I don't need 120hz Apple-like design, but it's c
