Yeah apparently it is a major part of employees’ jobs to know how to present good ideas to this fool in a way that he won’t shoot it down because he thinks he knows things.

I would amend that to “What specific problem that users have reported does implementing AI solve”.

Most airports have separate controllers for taxiway coordination and for runway and air coordination. Many larger airports separate tasks further, like having a separate approach controller. So, usually different people.

Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding demands to be blasted at full volume

One of the risks is the fuel getting jammed. Since they’re spheres, they should have very low friction. But they already saw that defects in the coating can raise that risk. They would need very strict QC on manufacturing the pellets, and the entire system must be designed to mitigate the chance of wear causing damage. There would naturally be a buildup of debris over time, but fine carbon dust usually serves as a lubricant anyway. They would need to prevent contaminants entering the core.

Even if there was a jam, is there a foolproof way to stop the input, even during a power failure? Can the pellets sit in the reactor forever without getting too hot when the cooling is down?

Is any of this human controlled? Part of Chernobyl was someone ignoring a failure and choosing not to shut down until it was too late - is that a possibility here?

So yeah, saying failure is impossible is literally what they said with the Chernobyl-style reactors when they were new. They did safety tests on those to see what would happen if the power failed, which was itself the catalyst for the failure. Just say that you have a new, extremely safe design, be open about how it works, and don’t tempt fate?

The Wikipedia page has a decent graphic. Instead of dropping graphite rods between the fuel rods, the fuel is a pellet permanently encased in a tennis ball sized coating of ceramic silicon carbide. The core is a funnel that pellets are continuously fed through, with an inert gas cooling the funnel and transferring the heat to the water for generating electricity.

The main point of the bill is to provide grants to organizations that provide resources for pregnant people. The bill specifically excludes organizations that offer abortion services from receiving those grants.

This is why “divide by half” and “divide in half” are two different things

Any positive number?

Ehhh |q| = √p but close enough

$200,000 in overtime to clear Hamilton Hall at Columbia. The article also points out that the George Floyd protests cost over $150M in overtime and over $30M in lawsuits.

To be fair, Simone had the same problem on the first build of Truckla, it wasn’t water sealed properly. Of course, that was a hobby project built in a workshop, which still managed to look and operate way better than the piece of junk Tesla actually PUT INTO PRODUCTION

Almost all of the OCA extensions are now installable with pip, just make sure you’re locking down versioning well.

Core Odoo pros: Odoo is great at what it does. It’s modular, and let’s you consolidate a lot of business software into one place where it can all talk to itself. Generally, this makes accounting teams very happy, since invoicing, inventory (esp GAAP), and expenses are all generated mostly automatically. The UI has really improved recently, and performance scales well. Odoo has some good functional tutorials on their website that guide you through using the features.

Core Odoo cons: If your business has some need outside of what Odoo expects you to use it for, good luck. Unless it’s a minor thing, you’re probably better off changing your SOPs to fit Odoo rather than trying to change Odoo to work for you. Of course, you don’t know whether it’s a minor thing unless you have someone with Odoo familiarity – but we’ll get to that.

Custom Odoo pros: Almost all of the business logic is written in Python with a fully extensible framework. It’s designed to be modified, and it’s pretty friendly. The docs aren’t great, but the community is. The Odoo Community Association (OCA) maintains a large library of OS extensions, divided by business area. Even if you don’t find what you need, it’s a great place to learn by example on creating custom modules. Simple UI changes are mainly handled by XML, which again is fairly easy to pick up by studying examples.

Custom Odoo cons: There’s a learning curve, as with anything. Something you thought should be a simple change might turn out to be a pit of vipers. If you’re trying to do web app changes, I will pray for you. Odoo has started to roll out OWL, a JS framework based on React and Node.js, but documentation on JS in Odoo is basically non-existent, and Odoo devs avoid JS like the plague.

If your company is looking to change, Odoo has implementation partners, who will tailor Odoo to your needs. Partner prices vary widely, and you get what you pay for. It really depends on your company’s size and budget. You still pay licensing, etc. through Odoo itself.

Avoid odoo.sh (Odoo’s SaaS option) at all costs, I have never seen it go well. Avoid Studio (allows UI changes without coding) at all costs, it turns into spaghetti every time.
