  • So, after sifting through all the other breathless articles from their website it seems that they’re going to :

    • Use a LLM to attempt to sort out their documentation.
    • Have a chatbot trained on the docs so you can ask it questions and possibly get coherent answers.
    • Some sort of vague thing where the LLM provides guidance and suggestions on improvements to the codebase.

    Lots of reassurance that they’re not going to let it do vibe coding but to be honest, they doth protest a little too much methinks.







  • It’s all fun and games until your (insert vehicle here) crashes , or has a fire, or suffers a mishap, or reaches its destination and explodes as designed, and apart from all the normal problems you have with that, you also now have to contend with a few kilos of fizzed up nuclear fuel and some hot reaction by-products spread all over the place. You also have to contend with the neutron activation of the air passing through your nuclear ramjet, which makes it briefly radioactive, which is fine for a cruise missile that you intend to blow up in a few hours anyway, not so fine for regular transport routes.

    Nuclear powered vehicles have some inherent risks with pain-in-the-ass consequences, and if we scale those small per-vehicle risks up across a worldwide fleet we’d see accidents involving them as often as we are aircraft crashes, and that’s not great.






  • It’s really more about the overall flavor of the spreadsheet than how “right” any individual field is.

    Just like the Xerox copier/scanners that helpfully kept scanned images small by reusing parts of the image elsewhere. Like, all these 6s on your scanned invoices can totally be replaced with 8s. There’s just a tiny degradation in the overall image, it shouldn’t be a problem!

    Xerox should have just called it AI compression and people would have been throwing money at them.


  • It looks like your drive is going offline randomly, or at least, when it warms up a little. All the IO errors look like various subsystems trying to write to something that’s not there anymore, which is why there’s nothing visible in the logs when you look later.

    Could be the drive, could be the drive controller on the motherboard, could be just that your nvme drive just needs to be taken out of its slot and reseated, could be something weird in your BIOS setup that’s causing mayhem (bus timings, etc).

    Personally I’d reseat your drive in its slot first and go from there.
