Then what's your solution? It's a capital intensive business to get into, without some regulatory changes either on the supply side or the demand side, there's no way for it to be naturally prevented without consumers bearing the brunt of the downside. Yes, the market will eventually correct itself but until then consumers suffer.

No shortage of talent. It's just that the big players are used to cheap almost minimum wage Taiwanese wages and refuse to pay the full price of an EE.

How does it compare to Costco?

Wdym by 'bid for them'? Won't the MGA want to get rid of their contracts in an area that's about to be hit by a hurricane ASAP?

Isn't autocad lisp powered?

Well it certainly makes error handling easy. No need to reason about complex global exception handlers and non-linear control structures. If you see an error, return it as a value and eventually it will bubble up. If err != nil is verbose but it makes LLMs and type checkers happy.

The Japanese and Koreans aren't dying early though.

Somebody probably wants more defense contracts

Extracting book titles from comments used to be an excellent exercise in named entity recognition, but with ChatGPT and transformer, it's now trivial.

Are there any solid PHP WebSockets and WebRTC setups outside of Laravel?

Go has typed errors, it just didn't use it in this case.

General aviation has been on the decline primarily because of the way US liability law is structured and the cost of FAA airworthiness certification. A quirk of legislation made it such that old models of planes are shielded from lawsuits, among other issues. If you are a manufacturer, why bother designing a new plane when you can keep selling the same world war 2 era stock? It's not like you will have any competition. The cost of certification is also why Boeing tried to avoid certifying the 737 max as a new plane.

Fewer people are learning to fly except to go work for the airlines. Most of the small aviation manufacturers and engine producers have been snapped up by China. It's so expensive to certify an engine for flight that most of general aviation is using engines where you burn leaded fuel and manually control the carburetors and fuel injectors. In aviation, a 1940s era airframe is considered perfectly safe, and it is completely acceptable to use vacuum pneumatic instruments despite them being significantly less reliable than MEMS or solid state ring laser (or fibre optic) gyros. Even something as simple as a radar altimeter would cost well into the 5-6 figures. It's a very backwards industry similar to medicine and pharmacy. The doctors believe in hazing new grads through residency, while biotech legislators holds the view that right to try and loosening clinical trials lead to moral hazard; better ten people die from disease than for one to be accidentally killed during drug testing. It is the same in aviation, safety is written in blood and all that so the best way to stay safe is to make it too expensive to fly. Many flight schools preach training with old airframes and technology. A lot of pilots refuse to admit the real reason is because of cost, and instead come up with all sort of post-hoc fantastic explanations that students learn better when they are flying rickety vehicles with century old technology. If you want to learn to fly, find a school that offers the DA-20/DA-40 (or even better, the DA-40NG with push button start) manufactured in the past ten years. Avoid the Cessna-only places.

The FAA is trying to improved the situation with the new MOSAIC light sports aircraft policy (that's mostly half baked) and certifying more engines for unleaded fuels. But unless the White House comes down hard on them for their inaction, they are going to drag out the issue for another decade (and hopefully kill off the general aviation industry all together). Regulators don't like general aviation, especially post 911. Between drones and climate change, and the fact that general aviation pilots are mostly Midwestern farmers and upper middle class people curious about aerospace, the industry doesn't have any real advocates. Not enough nouveau riche tech bros fly, and the ones that do are often rich enough to buy their own legislators and presidents that the costs don't matter. It's the aviation version of the middle class being squeezed from both ends.

If general aviation continues to decline, it's going to become a national security issue. It's not a good world where aviation becomes a professional luxury, where aviation manufacturers cater primarily to foreign clients, and where most aerospace engineers would never have the opportunity to actually fly what they build.

Nitrile gloves + better fuel sump is a good stop gap.

Let's pray he can do the same for general aviation, we sorely need cheaper and better alternatives to century old Cessnas.

This area doesn't seem too bad if you own a plane. It's perfect for a Skyhawk.

Ah okay, it's mostly that your getting started guide specifically requires a Segment account for some reason.

Do you mind removing the Segment requirement for usage? I think many users would be fine with just a standard http endpoint.

No, but they chose Australia over the other surrounding countries for geopolitical reasons (related to the above two points I mentioned) best not mentioned in polite company.

The thing about RISC-V is that they indirectly have the R&D coffers of the Chinese government backing them for strategic reasons. They are the hardware equivalent of Uber's scale-first-make-money later strategy. This is not a competition that ARM can win purely relying on their existing market dominance.

The Elon and Thiel gang, they are not pro "SV" insomuch as being pro Thiel/Elon oligopolies. If open source AI one day threatens their livelihoods and career, the tune from the WH will change overnight. Right now the SV conservatives are playing catch up on AI so they are happy to push for laissez-faire instead of regulatory capture. I won't be suprised that should the cost of running and finetuning FB Llama models become so cheap that they start to eat into x.ai's business, all of a sudden AI is a massive national security issue and AI safety academics will go back to regurgitating talking points about imaginatory AGI terminator bots.
