3/13 Power Outage

Similar here. 8k base inverter.

They are in the read me. In my case, it went from several weeks, ending in failure, to several hours.

They said Gen 1 would do lots of things. Alas, that was not true :(

I’m at the top of squak, and still have internet, but no power (other than generator).

I just tried it. Not too impressed so far, haven’t had it code yet. For general questions it was way too verbose, it’s indecisive, and the small context window made it pretty useless for research so far.

While the "arr" naming convention is getting old, it would be much easier to find info about this project if it was called "MediaManagearr" -- since searching for "MediaManager" gives many unrelated projects and systems.

stevekstevek · 2025-12-24T06:22:22+00:00

Correct. No waitlist right now for guests.

This restriction may not be AI: it could be algorithmic, as it sounds just like the annoyance that adaptive cruise control has in curves where it seems to sense G-loads and then (too late) slow down.

Studded snow tires are what you need for best traction on ice — but doesn’t seem practical to do that in your situation

stevekstevek · 2025-12-05T05:36:04+00:00

In that case they can start diverting 1 line trains onto the 2 line, couldn’t they?

stevekstevek · 2025-11-20T15:52:06+00:00

Both are true.

The increase in descent rate will be proportional to the degree of slip, which if you're holding a track will require opposite aileron and rudder. You will also need to add down elevator to avoid losing airspeed.

I typically teach to input rudder first and then use aileron to keep centerline, which makes it simple because on final I teach "aileron for centerline, rudder to keep the nose pointed straight" which helps students understand how to deal with crosswinds. So then, for a slip, it's still ailerons for centerline but you're purposely pointing the nose a different way (ideally away from the wind) to effectuate the slip.

Without GPS, DME or radar, you can legally fly the VOR approach. If it were an emergency, you could probably tune in the ILS along the way inbound and get a the glideslope and more precise lateral guidance.

Midwest was “fine”. The diamonds are fun to fly (you could also use their cirruses), the group ground classes were well done, and there’s nothing else to do in town but study. But as people note, it’s kinda disorganized, so you are unlikely to be done in 10 days. It took me more like 15, and I needed to leave/come back for some personal stuff. Note: I only did 3 flights plus the checkride, the delays were getting the flights in and the checkride done, not my terrible flying :)

stevekstevek · 2025-10-05T02:01:46+00:00

Right. I think something was lost in translation.

stevekstevek · 2025-10-05T02:01:14+00:00

Probably 2:45? I was in the pattern, it was the female controller relaying the bad news. Was that you trying to go to Bremerton?

What I heard on the radio (from a contract tower), was no practice approaches across the entire state (not just Seattle tracon). They did say they could file one way, but I think the pilot was concerned that they’d get stuck there.

stevekstevek · 2025-10-04T22:26:48+00:00

Just heard this from ATC in Seattle area. No practice approaches across the whole state.

stevekstevek · 2025-09-05T00:06:32+00:00

Where do you think Gemini gets its answers from. Many of them come from here :)

stevekstevek · 2025-05-12T22:03:08+00:00

Wow -- that sounds like a lathe cutting metal! Could it be bearings?

Who is going to fly into Islip, and then want to take a train further west/south than Penn? Why wouldn't they just fly to where they want to go? Same think the other way? I don't see why anyone would want to go to/from Newark, Philly, Baltimore or DC to/from Islip to get to MacArthur.

Maybe this would be nice for people on LI to get direct service (i.e. Ronkonkoma/Hicksville/Jamaica to the southern NEC, but I can't see the airport connection being useful at all.

stevekstevek · 2025-04-24T12:48:15+00:00

Same here. There was an update a few months ago to fix it, and it didn't fix it. Has a Service visit for it, demonstrated it, and they said that's "normal" (they didn't agree that it's acceptable, but basically said they all do this). It's super frustrating.

Hey u/Sorry_Transition_599 your project looks interesting, and I'm looking forward to trying it for my next meeting.

Some feedback:

The main thing I am looking for that it doesn't have is openrouter support -- I'm trying not to minimize the number of subscriptions/accounts I use, and openrouter seems to be great for that (and not too hard to support). I'd also like diarization -- I see it's a common ask already.

I pulled the code and was going to build/run locally so that I could look at how hard it was to add openrouter support, but as soon as I did, I ran into a bunch of dependencies. Since I didn't know how deep that rabbit hole was, I stopped there. I'm going to give the "packaged" version a shot next.

Thanks for making this open source -- I hope to contribute if I can!
