The differences involved make money if you are talking about the whole population but for an individual payment it's a relatively small difference. I'm not sure what would motivate someone handing you a card reader to try to cheat

ADF uses radio direction finding techniques. It's not very accurate and is all but deprecated except for some corner cases where the legislation hasn't yet allowed for overlay approaches (replacing a real radio beacon with its tru

There were two crashes. After the first crash Boeing were quite happy to pin the blame on the Lion Air pilots. At that point the C suite were definitely involved in every decision.

I agree with you. I'm using a couple of different LLMs depending on what I'm doing and what happens to be easiest but the difference between them is marginal in my experience. The only play for OpenAI et al in my opinion is to try

Thanks for responding. That is interesting. I guess you also have the advantage that current "state of care" is sharing a few radio messages with other aircraft with lots of subjective judgements.

From the testimonials it seems this is used for tactical rather than strategic planning. Honestly, that would keep me up at night. It's similar to problems which have been previously caused by a reliance on in cockpit weather data del

This is so meta it hurts my head but if I understand it they aren't providing value externally, just selling the hype and more shovels to other eager micro-SAAS hopefuls.

I dunno. ChatGPT is still ridiculously good as a search engine. Learning a new language now is a completely different experience for me. I've recently found myself putting something into Google, realising there is nothing of value in t

Yeah, even that is tricky. Every different manufacturer has different packaging for the cells. The Nissan Leaf for example uses a pouch style cell rather than 18650 cells. Even if you stick to say Tesla batteries you have to undo the wire b

Taking the Hyundai Ionic 5 as an example you have 3 capacities 58.2kwh, 72.6kwh and 77.4kwh with 114s2p, 180s2p, 192s2p. These have nominal voltages of 523v, 653v and 697v respectively. Even for the same car it's not trivial to use th

I can't see how this works at scale personally. You'd at minimum need standards in cell construction so that you can plug them into some kind of rack. Battery packs as standard come in too many different formats, voltages and cell

Adding an allergen in quantities where it has no meaningful effect is attempting to flout a regulation. It's like bringing money into the country by spitting it among fellow travellers. In a functioning system the authorities would hav

The driver should be to give people with allergies the information they need to know whether they can eat something safely. Allowing companies to list every possible contaminant regardless of how likely it is to be in a product doesn't

It's very familiar to anyone who's done some woodwork. Keeping the grain direction in the same direction as you require strength is 90% of joinery.

Interesting thesis - however I was one of those kids. I had plenty of access to exercise we lived in a quiet housing estate where we could easily play hockey or football in the streets. The only exercise I enjoyed was cycling and that wasn&

I recently replaced an element on our oven. It's 5 years old. Honestly, if manufacturers could make some of that stuff standardised I'd be quite happy to replace or pay to have them replaced. As it happens there are thousands of d

It's a thing, though perhaps a UK specific thing. Perverse incentives in the tax system mean it's cheaper to own a company PHEV than the equivalent but there is little to no allowance for charging it at home.

The 737, at least in classic guise, was traditionally very stable in Yaw. Unusually so because the swept wing jets usually require additional yaw damping because the geometry naturally means on yawing one wing gets longer and the other gets

I wouldn't say range is really a problem outside of a few groups - people who tow horses or caravans, people who use their car routinely for long journeys. The challenge, certainly in the UK, is that only half the population has the po

I love that France uses the same strategy for Nuclear power as I did with SimCity back as a 12 year old. Look at where the Chooz power station is for example. If their reactors had a melt down it wouldn't be France (for the most part)

There is a lot of basic airmanship which has failed here. For example from your first day of PPL training you are taught to backup the throttles during takeoff and at low altitude to avoid them creeping backwards. You are also taught to cro

Leaving yourself a clear idea of what is next to do would be similarly effective IMHO. Finish the task you are on then open up the next task, maybe open up the right file in your editor then log off for the evening.

I once seen a bug in a Django App which caused similar issues. Basically the app often returned a HTTP no content for successful calls from AJAX requests. So someone had DRYed that by having a global NoContentResponse in the file. The probl

I'm sure there are many things which make this such an unfair comparison that it's not worth making. If there was a firehose of money spraying all over Austria as a result of being the worlds reserve currency I'm sure the sho

Optimising for simplicity first is almost always the right thing to do. Even if it turns out to be too slow you then have a reference implementation to confirm correctness against. In my experience it's rare to correctly identify the b
