  • Yea and the top comment being a misinterpretation of the contract already being won doesn't help things.

  • Where do you get the impression they've won the contract? They have another sole source contract with the FAA, but for SMART are still one of three in the running unless there is some source out there I'm missing.

  • I'm curious what this system actual is. From the article quotes it sounds more like prediction algorithms for future delays "seeing 45 days out", for instance.

    That would not be a bad thing. I doubt this is LLMs.

  • No they didn't.

    Later, a person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg the Federal Aviation Administration had brought on Palantir, Thales SA, and Air Space Intelligence to compete for the SMART contract. Palantir then released a statement to investors confirming the company was contracted by the FAA to “provide a data analytics tool that will help advance the agency’s modernization objectives for aviation safety.”

  • Sounds like he should run for State Senate.

  • Yup, totally get it, it's why I don't use it. I have Lawnchair's GitHub URL added into Obtainium, so it's as simple as Play Store for updates.

  • OK, so I don't recommend this often, but there is a FOSS option closer to Nova than Lawnchair. It's called Neo Launcher: https://github.com/neoapplications/neo-launcher

    It may be worth a shot, I ran the release on GitHub for about a year. I stopped because the devs are doing this brainrot thing of putting releases as beta in their Discord, so the release file on GitHub is old. I hate that practice so much that I stopped recommending it, even though it's a slightly better launcher with more options IMO.

  • Fun fact, in countries outside the US the green pepper is more expensive, and more desirable.

  • Sigh.. Lawnchair is the absolute worst of the worst for install/discovery. Because it got taken over by another developer, it's been all "beta" releases on GitHub forever, even though a truckload of people daily drive it.

  • Unfortunately not easily. Most mention it in descriptions or have links to GitHub/etc. For me, I used to search FDroid to check but I'm pretty selective about the apps I use. Now I do most things through Obtainium, but as a Graphene user I'm certainly not the norm.

  • Lawnchair is darn close, and FOSS. Recommending another closed source option usually leads down the same road.

  • Yea my partner is British, and with her work a number of Brits come through on assignment and need to take the test when they are here. I was young, so it felt so hard, but seeing it through adult eyes, wow. I mean one of them forgot the car was in reverse and almost backed into another car, hit the curb, and still passed.

  • I updated my BIOS yesterday. Is my phone listening to me?

  • Specific to the "at the Pentagon" part, and leaving all the rest aside, many US military installations have a chapel that can be reserved for any type of religious activity.

  • The US does not teach you to drive. It is laughable how easy it is to get a license with a fraction of the training of most other western countries.
