You open a SaaS shop where people come to use it

There will still be some noise. But yes, it’ll be less noisy.

Nice intro to Kubernetes talk. Not sure the title’s accurate though, you didn’t seem to destroy anything.

Is it astonishing you got to 17% with some vibe code? Sure.

But most of the stuff I’ve vibe coded this year has been astonishing by 2025’s standards.

If you got 100% I’d be genuinely blown away.

Clicked on the story expecting underwater bat-like weapon system. Was incredibly disappointed.

We monitor air data quite closely at work.

CO2 rises really fast with people in even a large space.

I wouldn’t put too much effort into vents above a door as we’ve seen that CO2 will leak through doors and even floors/ceilings very quickly.

Got briefly excited thinking they’d actually 3D printed the real thing

Yeah I skimmed it and it all read like when I ask ChatGPT to go wild and be “fun”.

We usually drive to work. That means that when the sun’s shining, the car isn’t home.

Conversely, if we didn’t drive to work, we probably wouldn’t have a car.

On the other hand, we have a big solar array at work so if we had on-site parking (we don’t) we could drive our power home.

It’s probably impractical in reality though, the tax treatment would be chaos and we use the power we generate at work during the day on-site.

Pilot here, I don’t think this is right.

Aircraft typically operate at 80-100% power output. It’s not the average 20% power output of your car.

Weight is pretty much everything, the savings from regenerative braking in an aircraft are almost 0% but the cost of enabling it is some tons.

This tech makes loads of sense in a car but I’ve never flown an aeroplane in stop-start traffic because that’s not how the sky works.

It’s because they’re next to Kaliningrad, that weird Russian exclave

It’s ok, it’s now a million dollars/year cheaper when your renewal comes up!

Jokes aside though, some good performance sleuthing there.

Are you sure you’re not just flying more now you’re not drinking?

Single pilot IFR being fun or scary mostly comes down to currency!

Mostly mountain wave presumably?

Went to Steiner school, can confirm I’m capable of knitting a chicken.

It worked out well for me in terms of education but that’s a small data point.
