Is there a lift vs drag problem that precludes making a glider with such a heavy payload? It might not be as simple as bigger wings to support the heavier weight.

LOL.

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.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 3 points 6 days ago

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 ?

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.

Why bother?

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

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is Redlib going to be effected by this change though?

We also have snarky dweebs apparently.
