These models all have the same knowledgebase as well and thus see no value in the opposing agents contributions since they are "obvious".

Overall amusing but kind of expected.

Posting this from a HN post a few days ago - one of the better "where is the eclipse currently" trackers that isn't currently ddossed.

adding that there are some great webcams in santander on youtube that you can watch as it starts in a few minutes:

I can only imagine how powerful that experience would be for experiencing your future house.

Throw in some time-of-day lighting and sun-path illumination... would he great!

It's a boost-only motor, it doesn't/can't harvest energy on descent.

The patented solution (transient smoothing under auto-throttle control) puts electric motors on both the low spool and high spool, then uses a power-splitting algorithm to route high-frequency thrust changes to the electric motors while keeping fuel flow nearly constant on the thermal engine (turbine). The turbine cruises at a steady operating point with tight compressor/turbine clearances and the electric motor smooths out the spikes that are normally there with turbulence and load changes. Benefits: lower fuel burn, longer turbine life (fewer blade-rub risks from speed variation), and smoother ride quality since the auto-throttle bandwidth improves. This setup (based on the various cutaways and photos so far) seems to be only a single 1MW motor so it only runs on the low spool but can still help modulate the turbine decently in the same way it does in the Koenigsegg Regera's hybrid electric setup, that removes the need for a flywheel because the electric motor can smooth out the gas motor's inherent lumpiness.

Also disclosed in a previous press release [2], it's only a 200kWh battery so at 1MW peak boost (cited load during takeoff/ascent) it would only run for ~10-15 minutes at the beginning of the flight.

Seems most of the savings are due in part to not using as much fuel during takeoff (~20% of a 1-hour flight's fuel) but also in large part to the under-sizing and optimization of the thermal turbine to keep it running in it's peak efficiency zone for more of the flight (~10% of a 1-hour flight's fuel).

Curious how the safety margins work here - if the battery is depleted on takeoff (aborted takeoff) or there's an issue that requires descent-then-reascent, if the batteries can't be replenished in-flight there could be a power deficit in that window where you'd normally have 2+2MW of gas turbine power for the plane and now you only have 1+1mw of gas turbine power.

Coinciding with Samsung nerfing the Ultra (aside from the bloatware) - it's not looking like a great landscape for Android Phones.

Given the pricing, it suggests that this model is much more efficient/competent than previous-gen OS/distilled models.

Cool reverse engineering/analysis report but if this is the extent of nefarious activity that came of it (trying to catch/mitigate chinese lab model distillations), that's kind of encouraging.
