Daher Aircraft has been ranked first in the turboprop category of Professional Pilot magazine’s annual Product Support Survey for the sixth consecutive year, based on feedback from more than 100 TBM and Kodiak owners and operators.
The company achieved the highest score across all seven areas assessed, including response times, spare parts availability, technical support and service satisfaction, raising its overall rating from 8.71 in 2025 to 9.02 in 2026. Its biggest improvement was in Aircraft on Ground support, where its score rose to 9.35. @DAHER_Official attributes the result to continued investment in customer service, including a worldwide network of 73 authorized service centers supporting around 3,000 aircraft, with further resources added in the United States, Brazil, and Asia during 2026.

We were excited to support the ongoing Texas Nuclear Summit 2026, with talks from Aalo's @MattLoszak and @yasir_fission.
Thanks to @NuclearTexas for hosting. Texas is building!

Engineers design for uniformity.
Identical components. Matched tolerances. Standardised specifications.
Northwestern physicists published a result on September 17 2026 showing that this instinct can backfire.
In complex networks (power grids, biological systems, neural circuits) perfectly identical components can synchronise in ways that amplify small disturbances rather than absorb them.
Carefully calibrated variation acts as a buffer: disturbances dissipate across non-identical elements instead of cascading.
The finding has direct implications for power grid design, where complete uniformity of generation sources has been associated with larger cascade failures.

Getting the details of a sim2real stack is a huge pain, and attention to detail is key! We’ve been using Tao’s library at UW and would highly recommend :)

Embraer’s E-Freighter program is gaining momentum with the E190F entering service with a second operator and, for the first time, in the Americas.
BermudAir will lease the aircraft from Regional One, which has five firm E190F orders and has already taken delivery of two converted aircraft. Based on Embraer’s proven E-Jet platform, the E190F is designed to fill the cargo-market gap between large turboprops and conventional narrowbody freighters, offering more than 3,500 cubic feet of cargo volume and up to 29,800 pounds of payload.
@Embraer says the aircraft can deliver 30% lower operating costs than older narrowbody freighters with comparable volume and range, while offering substantially more capacity and range than large cargo turboprops, positioning the E-Freighter as a flexible option for express freight, e-commerce and decentralized cargo networks.

Project Ventures has launched a £5 million debut fund to back early stage AI and deeptech startups connected to Imperial College London’s founder network.
The fund reflects a growing belief that Europe’s strongest AI opportunities may come from applying advanced research to real world problems .It will target companies at the earliest stages, where technical founders often need capital, commercial support, and access to the right network before they can scale.
Imperial remains one of Europe’s most important deeptech talent hubs. This fund gives its researchers, alumni and founders another route to turn serious science into scalable businesses.

🔬 A breakthrough in hydrogen technology: BIT's new acid-base interface has quadrupled the power of PEMFCs! 💡
The development of a new acid-base interface by BIT is revolutionizing the performance of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs). This innovation has the potential to significantly enhance hydrogen fuel cell efficiency by increasing power output fourfold. Such advancements are crucial as the hydrogen sector seeks to improve energy density and performance of fuel cells for widespread adoption.
@HydroviaEnergy sees this development as a significant step toward more efficient hydrogen fuel cell technology. By advancing core components like PEMFCs, we edge closer to a robust hydrogen infrastructure that can support large-scale adoption. Infrastructure remains the backbone of the hydrogen economy, and such innovations are essential to its advancement.
H₂Ai intelligence indicates that production capacity and infrastructure availability remain central to adoption. As the hydrogen landscape evolves, innovations like this will play a pivotal role in shaping the future.

Love the presentation
now I get why I prefere to build with people that are good in multiway stats and dynamic systems
People that tend to think in scale and noise as granted
DS should be back shortly as the cycle repeas
And hapily for me AIs still suck at n-way + cybernetics
