The first time an airline pilot flies a new aircraft type in the real world they fly it with a plane full of passengers. All the training up to that point is done in a simulator. N…

Fun take on the ATC type genre but for some reason ATC style games have never really hooked me. I'd love to see a modern take on Airport Tycoon where you layout runways and termina…

As others have pointed out, the date has long been mid/early 2030s. You may be remembering that it’s been a hotly debated issue since the 80s. I distinctly remember it being a mass…

It doesn’t even have to be raiding of accounts. They can modify rules of RMD to drive tax revenue or even entirely change the rules of 401k withdrawals such that if your balance is…

Love this model. I’m GPU poor and have had FOMO that I haven’t played with local models at all. About a month ago I setup Kokoro on my GTX1650 to do TTS for an article reader. A si…

Really cool! I recently did something similar. I drop links to articles in a WebUI Claude built and it uses Haiku to clean it up a bit to a transcript then Kokoro TTS locally to ma…

100%. It’s accessible to only the truly stubborn among us who have no other option available to make things just work.

Really cool! I was reading the blog post about bot detection with browsers. The first layer being the IP address of the browser. One rather unique scenario I've been trying to work…

I see a ton of this inherently lazy behavior. A big part of my job is supporting a ticket system for employees to ask questions about a pretty complex employment contract. The numb…

First, I operate turbine engines so I’m around them a lot. I also used to live near a Williams Intl plant where cruise missile turbines were tested. I hear you. Barely. You see my …

Seems to be working well for China. They do all the “undesirables” that we can’t possibly have in our country. Primarily to push products we can’t live without. They are getting we…

I live in an area where one of these has caused state level political drama in Michigan. Many of my family members love to weigh in when we gather and I’m struggling to understand …

Since you're trying to product-ize and might want to expand the market a bit... aviation might be a nice market. There's a whole culture of people who build light general aviation …

Yes and no. Court cases certainly will disclose what capabilities various parties have come up with when it comes to security. However, there are documented cases where the governm…

“You’re absolutely right! Would you like me to add the missing pages?”

Kroger does have an open API with some limitations that get you pretty far. Someone built a python wrapper and MCP for it awhile back. [1] The workflow in our house is basically to…

I’d love to read about their Opsec failures. It seems like an offline conversation or Signal chat with disappearing messages could’ve saved these two. Any links to details on the c…

Nah they’ll ruin it. I’d rather Flighty charge a couple hundred bucks and maintain a comfortable business than let my employer wreck a good thing.

As airline crew, I stay in the lounge (employee lounge, not bar lounge) when I know I'm not going anywhere on time. Flighty gets heavy use from US airline employees. We're frequent…

I agree. The reason I love Flighty vs FlightAware or Flightradar24 is because the app is solely focused on my flights. The real-time tactical information about delays and inbound a…

I’d love a source indicating it’s permissible to override the RWSL for emergency vehicles. In all training materials I’ve seen for pilots, it’s clear that an ATC clearance does NOT…

Automation emboldens policy makers to reduce human count because of the perceived increase in safety. This results in less eyes and brains monitoring for situations of automation f…

From the FAA’s site [1] on RWSL: > If an Air Traffic Control clearance is in conflict with the Runway Entrance Lights, do not cross over the red lights. Contact Air Traffic Control…

> The runway should be essentially 'locked' when in use, if they don't want screens in every ground vehicle that may cross a runway, at least display it at runway entrances. It doe…

I’m trying to write a nuanced response but frankly it’s difficult. If they want freedom they should take it. The same way Ukraine is standing up to their bully and the same way cou…
