https://status.claude.com/ now shows "Elevated errors across Fable 5" so it seems like they may not have intended to take it away...

Can you share a source for this? It's not in the updates to the NYT article.

At 98F at 3800' elevation, the density altitude would be 7,268' (assuming standard pressure). https://e6bx.com/density-altitude/

You can buy [1] polarization cameras, both mono and with a Bayer filter. They're expensive right now, but I agree it would be really cool to see what could be done with a consumer …

In most US jurisdictions a material change to employment conditions is grounds for an unemployment claim even if the employee voluntarily resigns. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm guessin…

Interesting that everyone is responding to the first half of your comment. I think 2038 is going to be more interesting than Y2K... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

I'm not a lawyer, but be careful about general solicitation of investment.

Amazon deliberately leading users to a suboptimal product because they get more margin seems like exactly the sort of thing that competition should help to resolve (or at least lim…

Amazon's search is so bad that it's almost certainly intentional in order to get customers to look at more products. This is a great example of them using their monopoly power to i…

You can see the aircraft used at the Las Vegas airport. It says "Hacienda Hotel" on the side and I think it's hanging over baggage claim.

Does this really work? 1. Cell phones from 30,000 ft are going to produce incredibly low resolution images, especially when taken through the window of an airliner. They're also al…

Optics by Eugene Hecht is a fantastic reference to start with. It's a bit expensive, but you can find used copies if you look around a little bit.

The U2 I saw at Mather was based a Beale (as were the Air Force folks exhibiting it). They said the U2s get rotated in and out of service/training and that this unit had been all o…

I saw a U-2 at an airshow (California Capitol Airshow at Mather) and it also looked beat up. I asked about it and they said that it's a working airplane, not some show piece. Basic…

This company does fixed cameras which identify birds and then temporarily shuts down the relevant turbines: https://www.identiflight.com/ .

Also, North bought the technology that became Focals from Intel: https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/17/18144221/north-focals-in...

I'd love to see an "expedited import" option for this, where the device gets shipped to an AWS facility right near the carrier overnight hub and imported into S3 that night, landin…

I made http://backseatbarber.com/ mostly just for humor. I get a few 10s of dollars per year in shirt sales though.

I've seen many of Boeing's wing assembly lines and there are a lot of similarities here, except that this is clearly not set up for mass production. (Which makes sense for a demons…

I once had 3 guys in suits show up to a new office my work had opened. They acted very official, asked to see our labor posters. I told them we don't have any (should've asked for …

My guess is it would choose a different approach or airport rather than circling if the winds are too unfavorable.

This is cool. I can think of a number of places I've worked where having this data for the whole company probably would've been really enlightening.

I've flown a Cessna 182 into KPAO from Livermore for a couple of VC meetings. It takes about 20 minutes (mostly taxiing time). At rush hour getting between downtown and the airport…
