I had a job as HVAC engineer for the upgraded Oslo Airport back in 2011; started doing HVAC work for 3 weeks the rest was programming trying to make the rest of people more efficient. Made an Excel sheet with a lot of macros to manage all the drawing of the airport. That’s why I switched to programming when I continued to study, and did not want to come back before I got more experience.

They even gave me a big desk at Trondheim/Tyholt so I could help them with the software during my studies.


For what it's worth I found Oslo Airport to be one of the best airport experiences I've ever had. 5 stars.

Thank you, I remember a lot of good discussions between architects and engineers. How to make it both beautiful and a good environment to be in

«Why we did it»; would rather have a “How we did it”. The why gave me AI generated marketing material feelings.

Tailscale’s article about NAT traversal is an example of how to write “how we did it”: https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works


Fair point and thanks for the tip. No AI here though.

And PyTorch, and Pandas, and, and…


Built and or inspired by NumPy...


Should fix the images on the page, but the app looks good. Using Termius on iPhone, but seriously thinking of trying something else


Cloudflare just went down for static site assets, need to migrate away


If its just static content you can also use GitHub Pages, its free and you get SSL/OwnDomain, use it for most of my iPhone/Mac Apps. Example https://jetpach.com/


Oooo didn't know github pages allowed custom domains, thanks for sharing!


Wished there was more of a Minecraft style of control. A bit hard to do changes using a touch interface (example iPhone or iPad)


Could we all get bigger FPGAs and load the model onto it using the same technique?


You could [1], but it is not very cheap -- the 32GB development board with the FPGA used in the article used to cost about $16K.

I thought about this exact question yesterday. Curious to know why we couldn't, if it isn't feasible. Would allow one to upgrade to the next model without fabricating all new hardware.


FPGAs have really low density so that would be ridiculously inefficient, probably requiring ~100 FPGAs to load the model. You'd be better off with Groq.


Not sure what you're on but I think what you said is incorrect. You can use hi-density HBM-enabled FPGA with (LP)DDR5 with sufficient number of logic elements to implement the inference. Reason why we don't see it in action is most likely in the fact that such FPGAs are insanely expensive and not so available off-the-shelf as the GPUs are.


Yeah, FPGA+HBM works but it has no advantage over GPU+HBM. If you want to store weights in FPGA LUTs/SRAM for insane speed you're going to need a lot of FPGAs because each one has very little capacity.


Ok, then I may have misunderstood what you were saying. If the only thing we are interested is to store all the weights into the block RAM or LUTs then, yeah, that wouldn't be possible. I understood the OPs question a bit differently too.


FPGAs aren't very power-efficient. You could do it, but the numbers wouldn't add up for anything but prototyping.


That’s like saying origami is already a thing. Agree that this could be cool to test as new kind of infill.


He didn't invent the pattern though


ChatGPt 5.2: “ Drive — because it’s your car that needs to get to the car wash.

50 meters is comically short, but walking there without the car doesn’t solve the “wash the car” part. If you’re worried about it feeling silly, you can also just roll/push it that distance if it’s safe and legal where you are, but the practical answer is: drive it over.”

Grok: “To wash your car at a car wash 50 meters away, you’ll need to drive it there—walking would leave the car behind, and I’m assuming you don’t have a really long hose or a team of helpers to carry it. That said, if you’re feeling extra eco-friendly (or just want the exercise), you could theoretically push it, but that’s probably more hassle than it’s worth for such a short distance. Drive safe!”

Claude Opus 4.6: “Drive. You need the car at the car wash. ”


“Has begun” as in recent? BankAxept has been in use in Norway since 1991 to avoid the VISA/Mastercard “tax” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BankAxept

Biggest banks here refused to support Apple Pay and worked hard on legislations to open NFC access. Now we can pay with no fees to Visa/Mastercard or Apple even from our phones.


There's implementations for this in most European countries (iDeal/Wero, Bizum, MultiBanco, BanContact have been mentioned). What's missing is a unified standard that works across all European webshops and banks.


When can I get remote access in the iPhone app? Start on my laptop, check results using Tailscale/VPN and add follow up’s on the mobile to run on the computer. Know many that would love this feature.


Right? Why not focus on a nice mobile handoff experience? Not being tethered to your desktop or laptop for work is such a game changer! This codex app is like exactly the workflow I use but the fact that I can't pick up where I left off on my phone is just braindead stupid!
