1-3. Agreed 4. Remember my predicted number is on the low side of how much juice they would need. Of course they get much better efficiency than a conventional jet on taxi and takeoff, so maybe it ends up being closer to what you are saying

The thing I quoted is more for bigger jets with much larger engines (it was the first reasonable looking source I found). In any case their hybrid has four engines, two electric, two conventional, so you are really should think of it as nee

So if they are doing the hybrid approach and just using the conventional engines during cruise they will have way reduced maintenance costs on them. The need for max thrust during takeoff drives a ton off wear and tear, so removing that wou

Doing some math. Regional jets get somewhere around 45.9 seat miles per gallon (1). So 30 seats, going 125 miles would take around 80 gallons of jet fuel. This is likely low because all the jets listed are bigger and likely flying longer fl

The X1, which is what flew, is all electric. The ES-30, their proposed product, is hybrid.

I have had goodluck with this and have gotten many pieces of furniture that will last for the rest of my life used. It is very hit or miss based on your location though and it does restrict your style choices.

I can't stand Ikea furniture quality but am often confronted with the only option for higher quality being an order of magnitude more expensive. Where is the middle ground between a Stickley Morris chair and an Ikea chair? Also their p

"Is that the case, though?" Hard to make a case in 2026 that you can be oblivious to the potential of AI to do unexpected things that could impact other people. "Did people know the machine was dangerous and didn't care,

But if you told an embodied AI to do a home cleaning task knowing it's a possibility it will decide to pick up a gun and start spraying bullets, then society has an interest in holding you liable.

So if millions of people pay for something it must be helping average people but if 10s of millions of average people express concerns about a thing than what? I would assume since you were happy to go with the will of the people when it su

The framing of this entire issue is just wrong. "Today the reflex is back." To do what? Ban export of AI? Are you sure? Because it seems, so far, there has been some personal motivated government restrictions due to people not ben

Just to add, the primary failure mode of critical jet engine components is fatigue. To see, and thus learn, from fatigue failures in the field you need thousands of components flying thousands of hours, this takes years or decades. And to l

It's kinda opposite in a way. More countries make military engines than commercial engines because military engines don't have to worry as much about efficiency, pollution, sound, and most importantly cost. But unless you massivel

But a big reason people only stay two years because we have had decades of companies gutting every incentive to stay somewhere longterm. Whether or not companies should or shouldn't in their particular case is hard to answer generally.

Weak junior hiring is due to: - Longtime trends of companies trying to externalize training costs. - Avoiding hiring in general due to uncertainty in the economy. - Companies dumping tons of money into AI thus having to cut money from other
