Sorry for the heavy editorialising of the title, but it was really much too long.

New comment by cgeier in "AI startup upgrades Euro air traffic systems and raises $5.5M"

cgeier — Wed, 13 May 2026 09:01:14 +0000

The title implies that European air traffic is now controlled by this startup's software. But "We helped modernize a 15-year-old operational application in just over one month — compared to an estimated six months using conventional development approaches." sounds more like a system not involed in air traffic control was modernised.

You are right. It should be something like “Replacement Sentinel-1 Satellite is Live, Ensuring the Future of ESA‘s Copernicus Program”

According to (their own) benchmark, this is beating Opus 4.5. Hard to believe for such a small model.

I‘m a big fan of OpenCode. I’m mostly using it via https://github.com/prokube/pk-opencode-webui which I built with my colleague (using OpenCode).

Yes, it's good enough. Because you cannot control who else is on the street around you. Having cars around you that are driving safer than the average is better than them driving average.

I'm also wondering this. It also doesn't seem to be a coincidence, that ASML is an integral part of the semiconductor value chain.

New comment by cgeier in "Denmark to raise retirement age to 70"

cgeier — Mon, 26 May 2025 05:46:26 +0000

IMO retirement isn't a long holiday but it's for people who cannot contribute to society anymore.

That point might be reached earlier for some people, e.g. those who have a hard physical job, than others and a general retirement age is an approximation for when that point is reached for the general population.

This is huge news for ZFS users (probably mostly those in the hobbyist/home use space, but still). raidz expansion has been one of the most requested features for years.

German Eurofighters do not carry nuclear bombs. That's Tornados (and soon F35s).
