Did you look at the parts and content, or just leap to this assumption? My first couple days with Fusion had similar outcomes, and this is totally credible. There are extremely talented YouTubers that have information-dense guides through m

Since you are also going for your A&P, would love to hear your assessment of build-assist planes and modern rotax powerplants!

And a lot of the pilot deaths are not because of in-the-moment skill deficiencies. Stick and rudder skills aren't that useful with fuel exhaustion and bad weather planning. It's much easier to stay safer in a plane vs motorcycle.

I am building an app that is for a niche market, and I wouldn't have started without LLMs. The hard part of this app is great design, requiring intentionally designed workflows and lots of real world testing. The code isn't the in

Or try the other side of the spectrum and pick up tai chi. I started practicing almost 15 years ago (grudgingly) and it's surprisingly great! Happy to help find a place that fits. In my experience, martial arts schools are very much a

Malcolm Gladwell's description of that accident and amplification is simplistic and not very accurate. There were many errors made that caused that accident, including ATC failing to follow protocol. English is the language of aviation

Merely for the viability part: I use the $20/mo plan now, but only as a part-time independent dev. I will hit rate-limits with Opus on any moderately complex app. If I am on a roll, I will flip on Extra Usage. I prototyped a fully func

In a modern car, or if you adequately rev match, the clutch wear is extremely small. Only if you are aggressively down shifting will that be a problem. It’s also only wear at that point in time, not the entire time through engine braking.

I would expect them to do the bulk of their training flights out of airports with minimal congestion and lower landing fees. They don’t have to be trained in class B airspace to get their type rating.

Landing fees already have this built into the structure, along with waived fees for fuel purchases, etc. It probably is reasonable to look at occupancy percentage along with engine type, and adjust landing fees based on that. Two out of 18

You'd have to change more regulations, because airports don't close when ATC closes, it regresses to an untowered airport environment (and related airspace designation). ATC is there to provide specific services that increase safe

I'm pretty sure they do, though. Lucid owns Atieva, the company supplying the batteries for Formula E. What they've learned through the many seasons directly goes back into the vehicle's battery. https://lucidmotor

There has been so much research on this, and this article seems to ignore much of it. The book Accelerate is a good start.

All that is true, but it’s also getting better. And 16mpg over shorter routes (a 100nm flight vs 200 mile drive is not unusual) makes it harder to compare apples to oranges. We don’t really have hybrid planes yet, which will likely help in

Take a look at the more economical modern GA aircraft. A Cirrus SR22 can run at 10 gallons per hour, with a ground speed of 160+ mph. Yes, it’s more total fuel consumption than a car (but in an hour covering 2x the distance, and allowing to

What is the strategy for when Apple disallows sales based on the Magsafe adapter? This happened to HyperMac (now HyperJuice) batteries back in 2011. I still have mine, ordered before Apple lawyers went after them. It's wonderful. Edit:

If the idea of success over a year at a time is interesting, I recommend reading 18 Minutes by Peter Bregman. It's a very practical guide to this approach.
