<p>Render.com has a similar value proposition. I’ve used them and am pretty happy. Railway seems to have more bundled observability built in, that i’d like in render.</p>

<p>I moved to render years ago and have been very happy with the decision. It feels like heroku, if it never got acquired by salesforce and kept improving.</p>

<p>This is the first time since GPT 4.1 that I think I can upgrade our main agent model. Any noticeable amount of reasoning has been too slow for us, since the model is having a real-time conversation with the user. "minimal" reasoning GPT-5 performs terribly, it's significantly dumber than GPT 4.1 in a long, multi-turn conversation with tools.<p>This time, I just dropped it in and at first glance it seems to work well. I'll probably upgrade over the weekend if I see a boost in performance somewhere after tuning the prompts.</p>

<p>A few additional points of context to consider:<p>- The "Turkey taught Putin" narrative is kind of BS. The leader of Turkey imprisoned the pilot who shot down the Russian jet, essentially saying he acted on his own. Afterwards, Turkey bought Russian military equipment. This reaction is the opposite of sovereignty.<p>- Speculation: Russia is looking to provoke Europe into responding. The thinking is to get Europe to focus on their own air defense, over assisting Ukraine. This is why the general, and correct, response in Europe is to keep calm and keep sending air defense  equipment to Ukraine instead of freaking out. There of course are some lines where it is not possible to shrug it off, like recently in Poland, where the situation was so unsafe that we had to react with weapons. The most important element of Europe's security is that the Ukraine war does not end in a victory for Russia.<p>Edit: Formatting</p>

<p>Thank you for the additional context. Based on this, I agree that Oslo might not actually be related.</p>

<p>Foldables need to have very thin construction as when folded, you essentially have two phones on top of each other. There's speculation online that the air was launched off the back of their internal foldable R&D.</p>

<p>It relies on cameras.<p>Wikipedia:
The flush cockpit means that the long and pointed nose-cone will obstruct all forward vision. The X-59 will use an enhanced flight vision system (EVS), consisting of a forward 4K camera with a 33° by 19° angle of view, which will compensate for the lack of forward visibility.</p>
