Wikipedia has become a toxic place, at least for most political/partisan topics.

But if it really wants to be a community build site, it makes sense that a Co-Founder doesn't have any special rights. ("The irony is that not even a co-founder can edit it if he is attempting to implement his program of reform.")

Sorry for the heavy editorialising of the title, but it was really much too long.

The title implies that European air traffic is now controlled by this startup's software. But "We helped modernize a 15-year-old operational application in just over one month — compared to an estimated six months using conventional development approaches." sounds more like a system not involed in air traffic control was modernised.

You are right. It should be something like “Replacement Sentinel-1 Satellite is Live, Ensuring the Future of ESA‘s Copernicus Program”

According to (their own) benchmark, this is beating Opus 4.5. Hard to believe for such a small model.

So I guess OpenAI get's my money.

I‘m a big fan of OpenCode. I’m mostly using it via https://github.com/prokube/pk-opencode-webui which I built with my colleague (using OpenCode).

Yes, it's good enough. Because you cannot control who else is on the street around you. Having cars around you that are driving safer than the average is better than them driving average.

I'm also wondering this. It also doesn't seem to be a coincidence, that ASML is an integral part of the semiconductor value chain.

IMO retirement isn't a long holiday but it's for people who cannot contribute to society anymore.

That point might be reached earlier for some people, e.g. those who have a hard physical job, than others and a general retirement age is an approximation for when that point is reached for the general population.

This is huge news for ZFS users (probably mostly those in the hobbyist/home use space, but still). raidz expansion has been one of the most requested features for years.

German Eurofighters do not carry nuclear bombs. That's Tornados (and soon F35s).

Which works really well! Thanks for a great project!

Is there any more information available on how it works?

According to Wikipedia it's about 180 widebodies for Lufthansa group

How do I then get the passkey for my second device accepted by the service? Do I mail the public part to myself and insert it from my first device?

According to the article, she is called "Truong My Lan", perhaps the author's muscle memory or autocorrect was kicking in.

There is "she asked her 18,000 followers on Facebook to share their opinions about a tomato puree". Is jail time appropriate for that? Probably not, but she did not just review puree, she asked her followers to do it to.

I personally like the Economist.

They do have a some bias, but they make that pretty clear most of the time.

The articles don't contain too much fluff or "storytelling", but mostly get very straight to the point. Also, I really like that it's a weekly magazine, no "Breaking News!!!!" type of content.

You don't need ML to do this, there are already auto landing (and auto take off) systems that work very well. The hardest part is taxiing on the airport and taking part in air control procedures doesn't work at all AFAIK.

With that argument, Germany also has "full control" over those machines, as the optics are a "very important component" manufactured by Zeiss.

How does controlling one component give them control over the whole machine?

The EU does not have a track record of staying ahead when they tangle with Asians for tech manufacturing supremacy.

Depends on your definition of "tech", see e.g. Airbus.

This seems to be common practice at Airbus.

I recently did a public tour of one of Airbus' major assembly lines. I remember the tour guide telling us, that their customers (the airlines) either have their own QA people on the line when their planes get assembled, or pay another company to do it for them.

Hard disagree.

I spent a very significant amount of my waking time working. This is one of the best opportunities to make friends, and IMHO it's also nicer to work with friends than with non-friends.

Most of the friends I made as an adult came from a work related setting.

At least in Germany, the UK, and Spain it's not (only) contractors, but Airbus itself. IIRC there are around 50k employees in Germany and France each, 13k in Spain and the UK each.

Maintenance is probably an even bigger issue than crew.

I would have said there is no problem with your style (nothing brash/abrasive), but you used a lot of jargon, that people who are not very deep into LLMs (large language models) would not understand. Interests of hackernews visitors are very diverse, not everyone follows LLMs that closely.

I haven't read a lot of LLM papers, but I believe this is a rather weak paper low on details (note: not the results achieved of the LLM, but the paper itself). If it had landed on my desk for a review, I probably would have sent it back just based on that.

For example, they never really say how they trained the experts or which dataset they used.

Is this the current standard in the field?
