We are also having second breakfasts, right?

The company that made SMART, the AI system the FAA rolled out nationwide this week, is a startup. They raised a new round of VC funding as recently as last month. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261020556716/en/ASI-Secures-%24325M-Series-C-at-%243B-Valuation-to-Power-Americas-Critical-Infrastructure-With-AI

It's been less than 5 months since they were awarded the FAA contract, which is a bonkers timeframe for rolling out a government system of any kind, much less one for air traffic control: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/asi-selected-by-faa-to-modernize-the-national-airspace-system-302806855.html

The FAA is reportedly looking to buy a stake in the company: https://www.politico.com/news/2026/10/15/faa-stake-ai-company-01121671

when you forget the commands to slugify and you wind up on a Dr.Drang post about slugify...

I was looking for a clean way to ensure that apostrophes were ignored and I don't like the `slugify(input_text, replace=("'", ""))` answer.

There is an approximately 8,000% chance that Transpo Sec Sean Duffy and/or FAA Admin Bryan Bedford have investments in Air Space Intelligence and stand to pocket millions. Democrats should definitely put this on their Congressional investigations to-do list.

"This is an emergency," says Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. "I want 50 billion dollars."

Just finished the Lego movie with magical girl pretty @sasha ! That was actually kino. Didn't expect a basically flawless movie. 10/10.

@jalefkowit y'think he bedded her too?

Sean Duffy wants $50bn to upgrade switches and routers - which presumably would go toward 128GB of RAM for said switches.

"A reliable waterhole hidden at the base of a sandstone bluff made El Morro (the headland) a popular campsite for hundreds of years. Hundreds of petroglyphs bear witness to the lives of ancestral Puebloans. Archaic Spanish inscriptions proclaim "paso por aqui" (I passed by here). Other inscriptions mark the journeys of early American pioneers, western emigrants, soldiers, & railroad surveyors."

people are finding that their code in a box doesn't even have a code

Literally nothing is stopping you from creating communities or even an entire instance that follows that principle…

If you want to do it, then do it.

And if people want it, they’ll participate.

But even if they do, I don’t think you’ll get the result you expect and want
