My key problem is not knowing what the real good alternatives are? I've trusted Mozilla for so long that I've fallen out of touch with a market that never really changed as much as it has in the last few years.
I was at the keynote, Llama was featured in the Copilot models section and called out specifically, as was Mistral.
I assume they just aren't at the point where they have the ability or want to host the compute to offer up Llama as an option as opposed to OpenAI, Anthropic and Google who are all offering the model as a service.
To be fair, this problem is semi-solved by European airlines by having callsigns like BAW44W.
Which uses the last 2 numbers of the flight number, and an alphabetical character. BA use this on a lot of transatlantic type flights where delays etc can be an issue.
You wouldn't need to hand-fly in most instances, Autopilot will remain on and is more than capable of dealing with single engine operations on dual engine aircaft.
Of course it's always an issue if an engine does fail, but ETOPS as a certification is there to ensure that airplanes and pilots are not put under unreasonable amounts of stress or issue if and when an engine fails over-water.
Agreed! A key thing that I don't think they realised is that the free to air rights across Europe always created an intrigue among the population that fed into the youth. No matter the background of a child in the UK, for instance, they would typically have completely free access to damn near every Olympic event.
Sure, but the reason they're nice to have for that one time that an accident occurs, whether a drink is spilled or you drop it in the sink or whatever.
Not a payroll human but someone who lives in the UK.
It does not, we have various brackets that you fall into as your income rises.
- No income tax is paid on the first £12,500 of your earnings
- 20% on everything between £12,500 and £50,000
- 40% on anything between £50,000 and £150,000
- 45% on anything over £150,000
The way that HMRC likes to figure it out is that you take the salary of the person in question, and then you take into account all of the above bracketing plus more little gotchas. And spread their tax over the course of the whole year as evenly as possible.
This gets more complex when you change jobs or get a new salary midway through the tax year and then payroll software has to account for that and try and even out all the payments for the rest of the year.
