Wind turbine blade transportation challenges

news.ycombinator.com Andrew Moseman 2025-09-25 11:28:38

The world’s largest airplane, when it’s built, will stretch more than a football field from tip to tail. Sixty percent longer than the biggest existing aircraft, with 12 times as much cargo space as a 747, the behemoth will look like an oil tanker that’s sprouted wings—aeronautical engineering at a preposterous scale. Called WindRunner, and expected by 2030, it’ll haul just one thing: massive wind-turbine blades. In most parts of the world, onshore wind-turbine blades can be built to a length o

Amateurs Using AI to “Vibe Code” Are Now Begging Real Programmers to Fix Their Botched Software

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-28 20:49:20

Welcome to the future, where the vibes are bad in almost every meaningful respect — but where you do, at the very least, get to "vibe code," or use an AI model to write code and even build entire pieces of software. But rarely does the process go smoothly enough for prime time. The jury's still out on whether experienced programmers actually benefit from using AI coding assistants, and the tech's shortcomings are even more obvious when it's being relied on by untrained amateurs who openly embra

Ahead of its formal debut in the near future, Xiaomi is showing off the new Xiaomi 17 Pro, which has an iPhone-like camera bar on the back, but uses that real estate for a rear display. In a post on Weibo, Xiaomi shares a brief video that shows the Xiaomi 17 Pro. At first, the phone is shown with a sectioned design that features a section along the top that includes the cameras. It’s not quite a Pixel-like “Camera Bar,” but rather more similar to Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro redesign. The twist, thou

Scuba-Suit-Clad Thief Steals Thousands of Dollars From Floating Disney World Restaurant in Heist Ripped Right Out of the Movies

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-09-28 21:40:03

When we hear of criminal activity at Walt Disney World, it’s not usually pertaining to an action sequence that feels like it’s come right out of a Disney movie itself. But that was apparently the case this week in Orlando, when over $10,000 was stolen from a Disney World restaurant by a scuba-diving criminal mastermind. WFTV9 (via Cinemablend) reports that in the early hours of today, an unidentified man staged a robbery at the Paddlefish seafood restaurant in Disney Springs, a shopping and din

As Studio Ghibli turns 40, we visit the forests, springs and villages that inspired its most beloved films, and meet those preserving their magic.

This activity, which continued when temperatures dropped to -15 C, is the coldest-ever movement recorded for a eukaryotic cell.
