Is it me or it is ridiculous that none of the media about noise reduction has sound?

That is most likely part of the reason why US multi-story buildings are less safe than European ones. I know that Europeans find the idea of wood frame buildings to be a little scary. Like wny do you do that?
At least in Canada, there were multiple researches on the topic and the only benefit of a timber frame is a speed and simplicity of construction. Given that they normally end up with a very similar price tag for new constructions, I don't see why consumer would prefer timber...

On the other hand, people who work on that don't think GPT will make them jobless. Also, I recall how a major client postponed adoption of a new reporting platform because it meant for them layoffs in accounting department and accountants started to sabotage the whole thing...

Ten years in SAP working on FI, SD and AA. (not anymore, I'm done with that)
The post triggered PTSD and I want to go home and cry. You created your double entry, cool, now let's split it (because of million reasons) and add taxes. So now we deal with a basic 25 line document where some lines are doing nothing but move funds through certain tax accounts. Oh, no, there is a typo, but we cannot just create the reversal because for some accounts, the transaction should stay reflected in turnovers, for some it should not and for most it depends on fiscal period and stuff.
Don't forget that everything varies between countries. With all that let's create a financial statement for eg Walmart (who has every line item sold posted to SAP system when you buy things at store)

That's an amazing anecdote!
The state of "open Wi-Fi" security is actually really sad. I'm not aware of an easy way for the airline to actually do better than this!
I suppose they could use Opportunistic Wireless Encryption [1] and bind session authentication to that (i.e. authenticate a given OWE session, not a given MAC address) if the device supports it, as at least modern Apple devices do? But I have no idea how stable an OWE session is; it would be very inconvenient to have to login again every time my device switches between access points.
In any case, I'm sad that this isn't a solved problem yet, and paid Wi-Fi (as well as securing free Wi-Fi) still requires custom and clunky solutions like unreliable captive portals that need to pass through selective traffic (e.g. for 3DS, for payments, sometimes emails for password reset codes etc and more).
A standardized endpoint and API would also be nice, i.e. something to tell the client whether it's connected, restricted (i.e. able to only access a limited set of hosts such as the in-flight map as described in the article), or needs to pay/authenticate (and if so, at which URL). This could then yield an authentication token, to be provided for seamless reconnections for the same session.
There's "Hotspot 2.0" and WPA-EAP (i.e. WPA Enterprise), but these don't really have a good story for "pay via web portal" style usages and are more geared towards wireless carrier operated hotspot networks and corporate scenarios, respectively.

You can always use an open network to generate passwords for the proper internet connected WPA-EAP network (along with some in-flight multimedia like some carriers do). Extra step for sure but it solves the problem.
PS: I'm a couch expert so I have no idea if there's a problem with this idea.

Isn’t commented code no longer considered a good idea in most companies?
I used to work for a bank and the policy is no comments unless absolutely necessary, because comments become out of date. Doxygen is the only real comments allowed.
If you have a process where every commit is well documented, you don't need much comments since you can rely on whatever is your analogue for git blame. It's not a lack of comments, it's actually the opposite but aside from the code base.
When I worked at SAP where VCS for ABAP is ancient and has no analogue for git blame we had a practice of putting a SAP Note next to every code change, since some of the things that we had to implement are dictated by business/legislation, so you need a proper explanation from time to time. Without it, the code becomes unmaintainable.

Their inability to produce anything useful with Copilot is the largest example of this, but there are others. They are getting lapped by a ~300 person software company in the race to consumer-ize an x86 PC a into turnkey gaming platform, even with $100 billion in game studios and owning the API that every major game is developed against. Their footprint in education is gone, completely replaced by Google who not only produced an operating system that could be effectively run and managed on commodity hardware, but also developed the centralized functions for school administrations to use to manage classrooms at scale.
The consumer situation for Microsoft right now might be even worse than it was when Nadella took over.
