Either the Indian investigators did not like what they found (it implicated the crew, ground personnel, airline, etc rather than the plane maker) or they were unable to understand the data and were not willing to admit this and hand the boxes over to the experts. Why would I presume this? Simple. They've announced the recovery of both boxes, so we know they have all the flight data and voice recordings.
Unlike you, the various government agencies that investigate crashes have a responsibility to make sure they have everything correct. Analyzing the data is not instant. People seem to think investigations happen like in CSI. Determining the root cause could take months. Part of the investigation is determining if it could have been prevented, what steps can be done to avoid the cause in the future, etc. The crash happened on June 12, 2025. It has not been a month since it happened, yet you expect findings to be released immediately?
If there were data recorded to indicate a problem with the design or construction of the plane, there would have been immediate notifications to the American and European air safety agencies and the plane manufacturer, which would have been followed by airworthiness notifications and possibly groundings.
Your assumption again is that somehow investigator instantly know the root cause and are ready to release their findings. When the investigation determines that it was a design or construction problem, the appropriate agencies are notified.
When there's a known safety issue with the design of an airliner, the various safety agencies are not just gonna sit there on their collective hands.
Part of the investigation has to take into account how it has to be done. Suppose the root cause is a faulty design of a part. It will need to be replaced; however, the replacement part has to be redesigned first. Then it will take time to replace the part on all affected aircraft even if all the parts existed. Things do not happen magically.
He is trying to smear leftists with topics unrelated to this post. But as his name suggests, he is a right winger. If you follow his other posts, he uses every chance he gets to blame things on the left. Like this post where he insinuates that it is Obama's fault that touchscreens have replaced physical controls in cars."One could indirectly blame the Obama-era NHTSA for pushing a backup camera requirement . . . ".
It is his modus operandi.
Doesn't the 787 also have a battery for electrical power? I remember that early in its lifetime they had some issues with said battery, and tried to blame the manufacturer.
Yes the 787 has batteries. No the battery is not enough to power all systems for long. Yes there were initial problems with the lithium-ion batteries in the beginning as some of them caught on fire. I do not know the details of the investigation but batteries catching on fire under usage generally suggests a manufacturing issue.
Gamers Nexus reviews Chinese GPUs and CPUs sometimes, and they tend to be broadly in-line with the claims.
And they have reviewed these Longsoon chips?
It's like visual coding or RAD all over again. Whenever suits and PHBs are told there's a magic wand that'll allow them to do without paying people for the nitty-gritty bits, they get all excited and convince each other in their echo chamber that their dream of a company of all managers and no workers is just around the corner.
Then reality says "hi", the hype dies down, a few scam artists got rich and the world continues as it was, with a couple new cool tools in the toolbox of those who know how to use them correctly - which is generally the same people that were supposedly being replaced.
That's how I see AI. I've been writing software for the better part of 40 years. What I see from AI is sometimes astonishing and sometimes pathetic. I would never, ever, ever put AI generated code into production software without carefull checking and refactoring, and I would fire anyone who does.
Code completion is mostly in the "astonishing" part. If I write a couple lines of near-identical stuff, like assigning values from an input to a structured format for processing, the AI most of the time gets right the next line I want to write. Anything more complex than that is hit-and-miss.
Mostly, I use AI the way I would use an intern. "Can you look up how to use this function correctly? What are the parameters and their defaults?" or "Write me some code that's tedious to write (like lots of transformation operations) but not rocket science by far.
Essentially, it does faster and a little bit better what previously I'd have done with Google and Stackoverflow.
I have no fear it'll replace developers anytime soon. Half of the time the code is outright wrong, most of the time it has glaring security issues or isn't half as fault-tolerant as it should be, and for any case where I know how to do it without any research, I'd be faster writing the code myself then going through several iterations with an AI to get it done.
Indeed, Loonsong announced they have server CPUs that are comparable to Intel ones from a few years ago now. Chinese designed GPUs are catching up rapidly too.
No. According to the Chinese they are catching up. Until someone actually tests these chips, I would be skeptical. Both AMD and Intel have been caught exaggerating performance of their CPUs at times.
It's probably already too late, the decision was made and the Chinese government isn't going to pull back from pushing for high end CPUs and chip fabrication now.
There is still execution and implementation that remains to be seen. Remember when China announced they had 7nm chips to rival TSMC and Samsung? It was proof that China had surpassed the West some said. That is until people look at the details. First of which is that TSMC is now on 3nm. Second, it was done using older DUV not the new EUV.
But by using DUV, China was able to do what TSMC could not do according to some. That is not the situation. TSMC could have done 7nm with DUV if they wanted; however, it would have been costly as it would have taken longer, required more steps, and the yields would have been much lower. Also the transition to 5nm and 3nm would been even harder. It was easier to use EUV than DUV. China does not have that option as they have only and handful of EUV machines that are no longer serviced.
But not by as much as people are claiming. It's heavier by between about 5 and 25%. The morons driving wankpanzers make far more difference.
25% is not a small amount. If you were missing 25% of groceries/pay check/whatever, you would consider it meaningful. The fact of the matter remains that Tesla is heavier than a Camry by a meaningful amount.
The model Y bills itself as an SUV. The Model 3 is, like the Camry, a saloon/sedan car.
lightest Model 3 curb weight: 1760 kg (3880 lbs). The OP is still factually wrong. The lightest Model 3 still outweighs a Camry even if Camry is fully fueled.
Just to add some insight:
Trump, in a Truth Social post, said: “We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy.”
So clueless.
The fact is that the trade imbalance is the largest single factor that makes the US dollar the world currency -- and also helps to keep the federal debt cheap. All of those countries that have a trade surplus with us send us lots of goods and in exchange they get lots of dollars. What do they do with them? They buy US-denominated securities, including treasury bonds. So many people and organizations around the world holding large reserves of US-denominated securities is what makes the dollar the world's default currency.
To the extent that he succeeds at "correcting" the trade imbalance, he'll undermine the dollar's status. And trying to bully countries into sticking with the dollar by threatening action that will make the dollar worth less to them is just... clueless. And that's assuming his actions to explode the debt while escalating financing costs doesn't result in enormous devaluation of the dollar, which would make it worthless rather than just worth less.
On balance I think I'm mostly glad that Trump is a moron, because if he weren't he would be really dangerous. On the other hand, if he had either a brain or the humility to listen to people who do, he might understand that he's trying to destroy what he's trying to control, and that winning that sort of game is losing. Probably not, though. He's amoral enough to be okay with ruling over a relative wasteland, because he and his will be better off.
The background on the $900M error. Citibank was supposed to make a payment on a loan on behalf of their customer. They accidentally paid off the loan. The problem for Citibank (and their client) was the client did not have $900M in the account to pay off the loan.
They sued to get the money back; however, a judge ruled against them. Part of the judge's reasoning was the $900M was supposed to paid off eventually so the recipients were not gifted money they were not entitled to get. If they accidentally deposited $900M in my bank account, they probably could get it back. I do not know internally what Citibank had to do to make up the shortfall themselves but it was clear it was all on Citibank to fix.
