@Andercot Would be a sick airport. I could definitely land my cub there as is.

Why is no one talking about this?

@nvidia is offering around 80 AI models via hosted APIs absolutely for free.

You get access to MiniMax M2.7, GLM 5.1, Kimi 2.5, DeepSeek 3.2, GPT-OSS-120B, Sarvam-M etc.

This plugs straight into OpenClaude, OpenCode, Zed IDE, Hermes agent and even with Cursor IDE.

Setup:
– Grab API key: https://t.co/Wfdclm0hY2
– base_url = "https://t.co/VOGC10LmGP"
– api_key = "$NVIDIA_API_KEY"
– select model (e.g. minimaxai/minimax-m2.7)

If you’re building or experimenting, this is basically free inference.

Lock in and start building today anon.

Thank me later.

So cool! I’d swap the Cirrus for a Supercub but otherwise 👍

Here’s a first look at X-Plane 12 on Apple Vision Pro!

With visionOS 26.4 and NVIDIA CloudXR 6.0, the simulator streams wirelessly at up to 4K/120fps to your headset.

And if you have a physical yoke or throttle, ARKit uses image detection to recognize them and place them inside your virtual cockpit. 🤯 It’ll be available later this spring.

@jphorism Nice, this is great!

@mbrown_co (Writing this from the Dolomites)

[Sean Smith @seanwssmith]

@mbrown_co Fun fact - skiing in Europe is largely still accessible. Lift tickets (at the top resorts) are 86 euro and lifts are located close to town so often you can just walk from a hotel (similar to Breckenridge or Vail). It’s only in the US that we made it inaccessible.

[Sean Smith @seanwssmith]

@pitdesi Delaware used to have a commercial terminal in New Castle but last I was there it was shut down. Only US state with no commercial service. Fun fact

[Sean Smith @seanwssmith]

@wesroth @elonmusk Yes there is

[Sean Smith @seanwssmith]

@chr1sa This is part of the certification i.e. airplane at max gross loses an engine during the most critical phase of takeoff (at v1) and must take off since they can no longer stop.

[Sean Smith @seanwssmith]

@_breannafaye @mronge @levelsio Yeah, I just learned about this - apparently it’s illegal to have an accumulating fund in the US. So for Europeans VUAA is actually slightly better than VTI

[Sean Smith @seanwssmith]

@mronge @levelsio VTI pays dividends which you're taxed on VUAA includes the dividends (no-tax)

[Sean Smith @seanwssmith]

@levelsio Ooh I just learned what "accumulating" means. I wonder if there's a version of this for US market. Like VOO but accumulating for tax purposes.

[Sean Smith @seanwssmith]

@BarbellFi Congrats. Now you get to answer the question "what now". Good luck 💪

[Sean Smith @seanwssmith]

@MichaelRoyzen @arlanr @paulg this you? congrats

[Sean Smith @seanwssmith]

@ankurnagpal yes!

[Sean Smith @seanwssmith]

@GergelyOrosz I think there's two "tracks", you either work in FAANG companies and continue to do so or you work at startups and continue that track. Switching between the two tracks is much harder than just staying in your lane...

@isaac_saas What about @xai
