  • First test flight of largest all-electric aircraft used just $5 of electricity

  • LOL.

    "ErRrR pOiNt tO Me iN yOuR..,."

    Let me spell it out for you.

    The achievement being reported is that the plane performed a 30 minute flight. The implied details being that it took off, flew around in circles, and landed again at the same air port.

    The distance the plane traveled is not the achievement and it's not relevant.

  • Sorry boss. You missed my point. Cars can't fly so it's not really a comparison.

  • Yeah that's it. It's not a matter of "catching on", it's a matter of better battery tech emerging which is more affordable.

    Personally I think high speed rail is a better bet. All the tech already exists and the weight of the batteries is less problematic.

  • Literally the first sentence:

    The first flight of the largest battery-electric aircraft to take to the skies lasted nearly half an hour while costing just $5 of electricity.

    Can your Porsche 914 fly for half an hour on $5 of fuel ?

    What thing would be nice to have but can't have it because we can't trust people?

  • Yeah but it's a legal liability problem.

    Food isn't instantly poisonous as of the best by date, but producers will have insurance that covers them for medical costs if someone gets sick from their food.

    Obviously, that insurer is not going to cover them if the stuff is sold (or distributed) after the best by date has expired.

    Suppose your local grocery store starts a "best by" program and gives out the free food which is out of date. Some customer eats a free bread role which is a tiny bit stale but otherwise satisfying... and then eats a dead pigeon the find on the side of the road.

    You can probably see the problem.

  • I think this is pretty much what happens. That's how food banks get food.

  • Yes it costs money to distribute free food. Obviously no business is going to do that. That's not greed.

  • What are you really saying though?

    Here charities do sell a lot of this food, where it's possible and viable to do so.

    You can't sell food which is out of date because there's a high likelihood it will be harmful.

    Yes, there is a lot of food waste, but IMO that's the inefficiency of logistics rather than greed or trust.

  • typically it is easier to determine how reliable the person is from the test of the context.

    sure. that's an advantage of reading off reddit.

    an advantage of asking an LLM is that it can consider multiple reddit posts and stack overflow and whatever else.

    you're right that there's an eternal problem of determining whether information is accurate or just confidently incorrect, but I don't think that applies exclusively to chat bots.

  • I agree. However I don't think answers sourced from reddit are any more accurate.

    Its all long since been injested by every gen AI model around, just ask one.

  • So just to recap, no one will negotiate with him and he's run out of sticks, so having increased the price of everything everywhere in the world that's just how things are now.

    Well done Americans.

  • That's a potential solution but there might be problems I haven't considered.

    Presently that's not how it works though, redlib doesn't log in.

  • I'm concerned at redlib's viability long term. There was anotherpost here a few days ago that said the whole of reddit was login only. If that happens Redlib is dead.

    That said, I can't imagine why reddit would do that and it seems unlikely.

  • Maybe some kind of audit /supervision process picked up this issue, so not really bad luck just bad established practices.
