There was that problem with CAD software on the A380: German teams used CATIA version 4, while French had upgraded to version 5, resulting in incompatibilities.

"By late autumn, a team of around 200 German mechanics was in Toulouse along with several hundred kilometers of electrical cables to be installed in the first planes. But after weeks of painstakingly threading thousands of veins of copper and aluminum wire around the walls and floor panels of the airframes, the teams had run into a maddening snag: the cables were too short.

"The wiring wasn't following the expected routing through the fuselage, so when we got to the end they weren't long enough to meet up with the connectors on the next section," said one German mechanic, who said he arrived in Toulouse in early 2005. He asked not to be identified out of fear that he might lose his job. "The calculations were wrong," he said. "Everything had to be ripped out and replaced from scratch." --- nytimes https://archive.vn/uLIqa#selection-603.204-617.419


Mistakes happen on large, highly complex projects involving multiple teams in multiple locations ?

Colour me surprised !


Obama was the fourth U.S. president to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, after Theodore Roosevelt (1906) and Woodrow Wilson (1919)—both of whom received the award during their terms—and Jimmy Carter (2002), who received the award 21 years after leaving office. - wikipedia


Thanks for the correction!


<it's not like 8 million tons of soybeans per month are magically getting created in Brazil>

Brazil increase in production this year is 5.3 million metric tons. So looks like Brazil can replace US exports to China without affecting existing customers.

Tests by The Post suggest the training data for OpenAI’s video generator Sora included versions of movies, TikTok clips and Netflix shows.



That's such a great idea.


Certainly beats using a heat gun and a prying tool to dislodge a battery.


<On average, african americans are taller than white men and have a higher muscular density.>

Are you comparing direct descendants of Yoruba versus descendants of Celts in America ? or mixed descendants of Bantu and Cherokee versus mixed descendants of Anglo-Saxons and Slavs ? In your study would Barack Obama be a person of color or a person of pallor ?

Or is this data you have gathered observing people at Costco. Just checking on your scientific methodology.


People at Costco would be smarter than average so not a valid sample.




This series by Grant was very useful to review and learn and see the implications. Highly recommended.


This is a solved problem in India [0] - and the system is brilliant in its simplicity[1]: Fixed function non-reprogrammable battery operated electronic units, no connectivity, randomization of voting units and a paper trail for verification.
