I have this for sailboat routing: https://leebow.dev/research/how-the-race-to-hawaii-is-won. It solves the optimal route for every Transpac and Pac Cup start since 2011, using each race's own verified wind data (ERA5). Then it compares that route to what the fleet actually sailed. It shows the median hours the fleet gave up, how often the optimal route even falls inside the fleet's own spread (16% of the time), and how much that pattern holds from year to year. A second figure runs the same solve across 108 routes over 70 years, so you can see how much the optimal route itself varies, not just one good example.
One difference from the OpenAP/scikit-decide setup: my router doesn't search a fixed grid with A*. It runs a continuous isochrone search that expands a fan of headings against the live forecast each step. That's closer to how routing is actually done for this problem, and it's what both the live product and the backtest above use.
Unlikely since they used the term cyclone, probably Australia as that's the sort of place they would most likely do something like that and have someone posting on hacker news about it.
Mens Rea is not required (at least not always). Mens Rea makes a big difference in sentencing. (first degree murder: you planed the murder, homicide you had not intent of murder but things got out of hand in the moment):
Apparently a short circuit in the control panel in the middle of the night. At least that's what the investigator said. I wasn't using it and was asleep. So I didn't start it. Was spontaneous. Didn't seem to be related to any external wiring.
We had a dishwasher let out the smoke recently. No fire, luckily, just literal smoke and melted plastic. The melted part was the mechanical power switch. Yes, dead simple non-IOT holy century old technology. The parts that fail are almost always the moving parts and almost never the smarts.
My washing machine was intermittently staining stuff for a while. The it started smoking one day. Should have replaced it at least a couple years prior. Bet it was a good 50 years old.
with any view of the sky multi-band gps is damn good these days, my watch gets good locks through airplane windows even in the middle seat. In aluminum 737s, not compostite frames.
Train carriages, especially older ones, often have metallic windows so they are even worse than a typical plane. Even right up against the window, with the phone directly against it I have failed to get any lock on some trains.
There are no air ducts to move air between the units. They are old brick buildings and retrofitting central air you might as well tear down and rebuild a lot of the time.
Which of course means they should use heat pumps, since the copper lines don't need nearly as much room (I suppose you'd still have to put a drywall wall in front of one brick wall potentially). Even just putting a bunch of mini-splits on the roof (instead of individual window AC units) would be an improvement, seems like.
The only difference between a heat pump and an AC is a reversal valve to change which direction you’re pumping the heat in. (Of course obviously an AC fundamentally is a heat pump, but setting that aside.) That makes it very hard to puzzle out what you mean by this comment.
Yes, mini-splits are a good retrofit option, and they are efficient as well. They are more work to install than a PTAC, though, so cheap landlords pick PTACs to reduce labor cost.
PTACs are self contained and so they don't even require an HVAC technician to install. Simply knock a hole in a wall and plug it in. They are basically a permanent version of a window AC unit.
