Instead, can we implement autonomous formation flying? Each aircraft can still have its own engines and control, but can make a V shape allowing the following planes to run more efficiently.

i don't understand why do competent people need to mention that they vibe coded something.
It's a disclaimer that they have no idea what they code does.

The fact that there isn't a rail line from the airport to the strip is wild. It would simplify travel for tourists dramatically, and get a lot of hotel shuttles and taxis off the street. There's a reason why even cities with bad public transit usually have a line to the airport, and it's wild that Las Vegas doesn't have one.
I agree it's stupid. Relevant video on this:

Yeah the channelized sections of the Colorado would be a good candidate as well, though I personally believe the bigger solution is reintroducing beavers into the upper water shed, to increase total average flow.
How do beavers increase total water flow? I can see them causing more water to be held upstream.

I find this kind of thing a good case for LLMs as they can dumb down the technical jargon:
From Gemini:
```
Imagine you're trying to record someone talking in a noisy room using your MacBook's built-in microphones. This software acts like a super-smart filter:
* It knows where the microphones are: Apple laptops have multiple tiny microphones.
* It listens to all of them at once: It takes the input from all the microphones.
* It figures out where the person talking is: It analyzes the sound to find the direction of the voice.
* It focuses on that voice: It boosts the sound coming from that direction.
* It quiets down the other noises: It reduces the sound from other directions, like background chatter.
So, instead of getting a muddy recording with lots of noise, you get a clearer recording of the person you want to hear. Basically, it makes your MacBook's microphones sound much better in noisy environments. And it's designed to work within audio programs that use a specific plugin format called LV2.
```
I'm still waiting for the clothes-folding robot.
Physical intelligence has a robot that can fold clothes
How's the simulation of planes in Kerbal Space Program or Juno New Origins work compared to this?
I don't think vanilla KSP aerodynamics simulate airflow at all. You could have wings clipping and they would still pretend to be generating lift. The F.A.R. mods adds much more realistic aerodynamics.
