When is the best time to book your flight? Google Search has spilled its airfare secrets

Daniel Garrido/Getty Images The last time I booked a vacation flight, I literally spent over an hour finding the cheapest ticket to Hawaii with two criteria in mind: that it wasn't a red-eye flight, and it only had one layover. At least one layover was to be expected (at LAX) because Kentucky is a long way from the Aloha State.

On June 2nd, US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy traveled to Newark Liberty International Airport to celebrate the reopening of runway 4L-22R. This was unusual: few runway openings are glamorous enough to warrant a visit from the airport’s CEO, let alone a cabinet secretary.

There are no new ideas in AI, only new datasets

Most people know that AI has made unbelievable progress over the last fifteen years– especially in the last five. It might feel like that progress is *inevitable* – although large paradigm-shift-level breakthroughs are uncommon, we march on anyway through a stream of slow & steady progress. In fact, some researchers have recently declared a “Moore’s Law for AI” where the computer’s ability to do certain things (in this case, certain types of coding tasks) increases exponentially with time: the

Abstraction boundaries are optimization boundaries

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-05 13:12:10

Abstraction boundaries are optimization boundaries The N+1 query problem occurs when your application code sends one SQL query per element in a collection. The N queries are redundant; since all of the data is in the database already, a single query should be enough. This problem is usually caused by a leaky abstraction; the ORM, or whatever database abstraction you are using, can’t anticipate that it would need to send N queries, so it can’t automatically optimize this down to a single query.

Tesla's Robotaxi Program Is Failing Because Elon Musk Made a Foolish Decision Years Ago

As The Guardian reports, the company's Robotaxi rollout has been a massive bust — due, in at least in part, to Musk's long-ago bet against the light detection and ranging sensors known as lidar, which are hardware that allow cars to "sense" their surroundings far more sensitively than the visual cameras that Tesla is instead using as the inputs for itse self-driving software.
