I assume this latest bump is due to lemmy.world updating and now counting lurkers when assessing active users.

Webflow says 2TB of bandwidth is worth $1,250 per month
[The customer] said that Webflow’s sales representatives were uncooperative when asked for more details. He quoted a sales rep saying, “No because you’ll tweet about it.”
Wow, that says a lot about how Webflow views its own policies.

After seeing Wi-Fi network named “STINKY,” Navy found hidden Starlink dish on US warship
The source story is worth a read.
Marrero’s background is in Navy intelligence, and she earned a master’s degree in business administration with a concentration in information security and digital management
Incredible.
she soon changed the “STINKY” Wi-Fi network name to another moniker that looked like a wireless printer — even though no such general-use wireless printers were present on the ship
Why not just switch off broadcasting the SSID?
[The CO and XO] then conducted another sweep inside the ship. Although the network that appeared to be a wireless printer appeared on their personal devices during their search, neither made additional inquiries regarding that network
No-one's coming out of this looking good.
Marrero’s secret Starlink dish was removed the same day, and Marrero told another unidentified crew member the next day that it was authorized for in-port use — prompting sailors to re-install the illegal Starlink.
It just keeps going!

It uses a neutral net that he designed and trained, so it is AI. The public's view of "AI" seems mostly the generation stuff like chatbots and image gen, but deep learning is perfect for science and medical fields.

The problem is older than I thought...

That's a good point, but a few decades of talking to clients has led to a number of conversations like this where they want it to "just work", even if they've input the wrong information.

These are all short words full of the most common letters, so will make designing crosswords easier because they'll be useful "crossers".

Boeing 737 Max planes are grounded after a hole blew in one mid-flight
Their fixes don't seem to have altered the fundamental problems with the Boeing 737 Max:
I have to fly several times a year and try to choose Airbus over Boeing whenever possible, and I flat out refuse to fly on the 737 Max. This news certainly doesn't make me feel like I was overreacting.

I always found these very intuitive, but I don't know if that's just due to having an analytical mind, or just learning this stuff early. Do people struggle to understand topographic maps?

The domain aftermarket has a big problem
The author has no idea how to get his audience on-side! He starts with bragging about his 6400% profit margin on domain he resold, in a market where there's no customer value for middlemen.
At least antique dealers will identify pieces as rare, clean/restore them and put them for sale in a more visible place. Whereas domain reselling is about as ethical as ticket touting.

Nose wheel falls off Boeing 757 airliner waiting for takeoff
Reply in thread
The title is "Nose wheel falls off Boeing 757 airliner waiting for takeoff" and that's exactly what happened. That's not clickbait, since it's not deceptive, sensationalized, or otherwise misleading. It's just news.

Career-Ending ‘Game Of Thrones’ Injury Led To $9.4M Settlement: Why Stuntwoman Thinks It Exposes Everything That’s Wrong With Her Profession
Two months after suffering her injury on the final season of Game of Thrones, Casey Michaels was one of 80 performers asked to contribute £300 towards a gift for Irlam for keeping the team safe. Although they were told the collection, which potentially raised £24,000, was voluntary and would “not impact any future employment,” Michaels believes the opposite is true. “Everybody knew there would be repercussions for not paying,” she says.
This Rowley Irlam comes across like a corrupt, arrogant arsehole.
