Wind turbine blade transportation challenges

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

I never imagined a watch like the Garmin Forerunner 970 when I started running

Garmin Forerunner 970 The Garmin Forerunner 970 is everything you want in a running watch, and almost everything you'd need from a smartwatch. Yes, you'll pay like you're buying one of each, but it's a top-end wearable that you'll almost never have to take off your wrist, and it's light enough that you can go all day forgetting that you're even wearing it. My running journey started with a Garmin Forerunner. It wasn’t my watch — it was my high school cross country coach’s — but it brought a loa

Benchmarks in CI: Escaping the Cloud Chaos

Creating a performance gate in a CI environment, preventing significant performance regressions from being deployed has been a long-standing goal of dozens of software teams. But measuring in hosted CI runners is a particularly challenging task, mostly because of noisy neighbors leaking through virtualization layers. Still, it's worth the effort. Performance regressions are harder to catch and more expensive to fix the longer they go unnoticed. Mostly because: Catching issues in production is

Amazon Throws Money at ‘Netflix of AI’

Amazon poured more than $1 billion into its streaming series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, only for it to get a pretty tepid reception.

According to a report from Business Insider, the company is funding an AI streaming platform called Showrunner that, in theory, will let people create their own shows using generative AI tools. Showrunner is the creation of Fable Studio,

Harrison Ford Reveals His Preferred Version of ‘Blade Runner’

One of the nerdiest conversations two sci-fi fans can have is about the merits of the different versions of Blade Runner. Which is best? What does one decision mean? How about another? And one person you’d never expect to weigh in on that is Harrison Ford himself. Ford is, of course, the star of Blade Runner along with one or two other major sci-fi films. Even so, he’s not really a sci-fi nerd by any stretch of the imagination. However, in a new interview, he did offer a very specific answer to
