  • When you're flying in close proximity like that at a low altitude, I'd assume they're all VFR and not relying on radar.

    TCAS is good because it's an instantaneous "YOU WILL HIT THIS. GO UP NOW". There's no having to look at it and think about what to do, that's why its so successful. Can't really compare radar to that.

  • Pilots were flying under NVG (limited field of view) and appear to have been watching the wrong plane when they said they had the traffic in sight. Were probably flying too low for TCAS, if a black hawk even has it.

  • Not necessarily. Atc isn't fully automated, those people aren't just maintaining systems. They're active parts of the system.

    If you've suddenly lost a bunch of your staff, everyone is now stressed out and probably having to work longer / busier shifts. That could quickly lead to an accident.

    I agree though it's premature to blame Trumps actions for causing this. Thankfully the aviation industry is really good about detailed post mortems.

  • So at what point does everyone start protesting?

  • The more I read about his policies and views, the more I like him. He's way better than any other option I've seen for the liberals.

  • Awesome, I'm glad to hear it.

  • I don't think we have any way to know.

    My dog definitely remembers and gets excited about places when going back after years. Does he think about those places otherwise? Probably not

  • How dare someone expose you to a new culture.

  • Depends why. In Canada we have MAID which allows it under specific medical circumstances. It's controversial, but quickly becoming more popular.

    I think something like 5% of our deaths last year were MAID

  • If you have a farm you've got spare parts on hand and you're not relying on support.

    I agree on creality though, I've owned a few and I'm skeptical but people really like their new one.

  • It seems wrong to compare the price of a fully assembled bambu against a prusa kit. Especially for a farm, you want to pull it out and print.

    Have you tried the mmu? It wasn't great. Mine's collecting dust. The xl didn't get good reviews when it launched, I'm not sure how the sl is doing.

    I'm not saying prusa don't make awesome printers, but their first gen tends need more refinement. I've owned a few creality but my mk3 was my favorite printer until the x1c.

    And yeah totally agree the voron would be for a fun thing, not a print farm.

  • So pricey, and their core xy just came out. Prusa doesn't have the best track record with their initial releases.

    I love my mk3 but I wouldn't buy a prusa right now.

    I'm In a similar boat to op, I don't feel there's a good solution right now. The creality k2+ and qidi plus 4 are worth looking at, but they're also fairly new and not well proven yet.

    I'm tempted to take the plunge and finally build a voron 2.4

  • At the end of 2024, a Silicon Valley team that included researchers from Stripe, Anthropic, Tesla, and elsewhere produced a report showing that solar microgrids are by far the fastest way to build the power that data centers need. “Estimated time to operation for a large off-grid solar microgrid could be around 2 years (1-2 years for site acquisition and permitting plus 1-2 years for site buildout), though there’s no obvious reason why this couldn’t be done faster by very motivated and competent builders,” the report states. That’s because essentially all you have to do is put up a bunch of solar panels and some batteries and run a wire to your data center—not build a huge centralized power plant and connect it to the grid. The report continues, “Off-grid solar microgrids offer a fast path to power AI datacenters at enormous scale. The tech is mature, the suitable parcels of land in the US Southwest are known, and this solution is likely faster than most, if not all, alternatives.”

    I like this.

  • The Fred Miranda forums are a good spot.
