Best birthday present ever! #Panini

Tonight I am thinking of the families, friends and colleagues of the three aviators who tragically died in yesterday’s crash.

Already missing #Malta. Thanks again to @TechwiseMalta @DiveWise for the good times. @HalcyonDiving @fourth_element

Fantastic dive with ⁦@DiveWise⁩ - Inland Sea to Blue Hole, Gozo.

@KeraRolsen Congrats Puff - best of luck for the next chapter. (Metaphorically and literally, I mean literary) 😆

[Air Power @RealAirPower1]

I’ve been called out many a time for not highlighting the UK’s role enough; well, here it is. The RAF is at the absolute forefront of counter-UAS tech, proving that quiet effectiveness always beats loud headlines and a feature on X 😉

Just a reminder why electric vehicles are better than gas cars:

A year ago today DAVID LYNCH passed away. One of the most outstanding directors in history, a superlative artist. A unique, extraordinary and timeless cultural figure. Forever in our memory, forever in our hearts. Long live The Greatest.

@LeShuttle asleep at the wheel. Comms has been appalling. No updates to website, app, information boards, nothing. Been at Calais since 1230 and now 2000. Zero updates other than hearsay from individual staff (when they can be located).

@dylanmallman A useful explainer for the hard of thinking…

[Teslaconomics @Teslaconomics]

If your CEO is literally riding in the passenger seat while the car drives itself around a major U.S. city, with no safety monitor in the vehicle, that’s about as bullish of a signal you can send to the market that autonomy is here and Tesla has solved it.

This is Elon Musk, in Austin, letting Tesla’s AI do 100% of the work, confident enough in the technology to remove the last human supervision inside the vehicle.

What honesty makes this moment special to me is how long it’s been coming.

Tesla first talked about full autonomy back in 2016, when FSD was introduced as a long-term software promise. Since then, we’ve had
• years of real world data collection
• multiple hardware generations
• vision only going against industry consensus of LiDAR
• endless doubt and skepticism, delays, and “it’ll never work” headlines

This is nearly a decade of hard work and intelligent iterations to reach this moment.

When the person with the most to lose is willing to trust the system with his own life, this debate now ends overnight. We’ve been waiting for this day for almost 10 years…

Elon may not always be on time, may be very optimistic at times, but he and his team always delivers.

Damn, it feels good to be a retail Tesla investor.

100 years since the birth of the great Richard Burton.

One of the finest Christmas interviews ever filmed.

If you’ve never seen it you’re in for a treat. If you have seen it, it’s now a perfect festive tradition.

Nadolig Llawen.

@PatPorter76 A modern day “Man, State, and War”. Thoroughly recommended. 👍

[James Radley @jpradley]

Fascinating to see all the considerations related to customs and maintenance expenses! Wouldn’t have occurred to me. You have a VFR airfield in front of you and plenty of fuel; use it in the overhead to trouble shoot as long as possible and plan the best possible approach and landing with the configuration you are stuck with. This also gives emergency services as much time to prepare. Keep it simple. Transiting somewhere else and arriving at a much lower fuel state (and possibly changed weather, traffic etc) surely doesn’t make sense.
