When I was a teenager I used to work at an airport and they had critical infrastructure running on things like Basic and Assembly, to transfer data between the computers and modern systems you have to use floppy disks because the computers that they ran on didn’t have drivers to support USB and we couldn’t upgrade the computers because the software wouldn’t work on any other hardware.
So the AI laptop will be at home amongst all the ancient but supercritical junk that seems to be necessary to run our world.
At a previous job, I had to build laptops that would multi-boot DOS, Win95, Win98, and XP, all on one laptop. Our field-tech’s software had to have those specific versions of windows for the machines that they serviced, because of how the software interacted with USB and embeded floppy drives.
If you want to scare yourself:
spoiler
They serviced Medical devices: X-rays, MRIs, CT-Scanners, etc.
Proton would be over the top unless they’re using graphics APIs or other common gaming related libraries.
That said, Wine/Bottles would be a possible solution. But so is a VM that runs the software in it’s native environment with pass through ports or even port device/emulation.
Linux /POSIX is great, but its not always the right solution.
That’s dumb. The “work” in maintaining this excel file was the prompting and overall agent logic. In reality you’d be using something like openrouter and the instant claude “dies” for whatever reason you swap to whatever the freshest AI is. This never becomes ancient, it keeps up with the times.
I don’t know about that the entirety of European airspace was closed early in the year because of a pilot inputed some malformed data and it crashed both the primary and backup system. The backup system just fed the primary systems inputs into it, so that was inevitable.
That’s on you, when using AI you always have a verifier script afterwards, it’s basic common sense. And if a script can’t do it then human, if you’re saving 90% of the time instead of 100% it’s still fine.
What a dumb comment. How am I wasting time if it saves time? Adding a small 5% overhead script to be able to save 90% of the original task’s time is not wasting time. Besides, you’re already using pydantic and structured json output anyway so half the veritication is free.

Honestly, I’d prefer those medical device run on older software than even Win10 lol
I wonder if Proton can run these old softwares

I’m not sure what your point is. Garbage in garbage out, that’s just the law of computers. That would br the pilot’s mistake.
The point is there’s zero error checking.

This is a perfect example of why I’ve never used AI and never will.
LOL. Sounds like you’re wasting 110% time here.

How’s it my job to fix the aviation industry?
On *them, but I think you knew that.
