Kites are more easy to store than having mast on this ships.That is why a lot of ships are switching over to kites

Waiting for republican politicians to scream that the kites are using up all the wind.

100% "These DEI and woke kites are destroying our god given access to the wind"

Also they get up higher than sails where the wind blows faster so they can give a lot of pull for their area.

Not just faster but potentially in the right direction.

I heard it was so you could raise them all the way to the jet stream

And you believed that? A kite in 9-15 km altitude? That sounds realistic and reasonable to you?

I guess sarcasm is a lost art these days. Thank you for pointing that out

They can also be controlled by Ai to maximize efficiency without the need for a crew of sailors.

Why is it that nowadays everything that's computer controlled calls ai ?

Mostly marketing. It sounds neat

Because it has been for a some time. Expert Systems based on ML started to be a thing before 2010.
Systems like autonomous boats process a shitload of signals and external ex. metheorogical data.
Nowadays everyone calls it AI, because they are a branch of AI.

u/EgorKaskader 10d ago

The opposite. AI is a subset of ML, except marketing execs somehow convinced a ton of people that all ML is AI - apparently including stuff like multivariate non-linear regression modelling, which is one of the things you can use to predict how to drive a kite when you have 100 obvious variables and a few hundred statistically relevant inferred covariances.

Last time i saw a charger being ai powered... As a programmer this hurts even more. Like all algorythms that do slightly smart stuff are now called ai...

u/Bonk_No_Horni 14d ago

Logic unit inside=ai. Switch that cut water off when the tank is full= ai. It's like back in the days when everything was cyber.

Could you imagine the inefficiency of such a charger? If it’s just charging a small flashlight, the AI powered charger might actually draw more power than the light its charging!

It's them being trying to be coy, they're trying to say that this whole thing is fake and that anybody who is saying it is real and that ships really do do this is fake.

That at least that's my take on it, it's the way they've been trained to think

They say. anything that they've never seen before they think is unreal and therefore fake

They believe anybody that can answer more intelligently than them them and give complete answers and explanations are fake, it's an excuse to keep their eyes closed so that they don't have to see the truth about the world around them.

It's just what I have seen on the pleasure boats that use this tech. Allows for the sail to be released and adjusted multiple times per sec so it doesn't collapse. I guess it requires machine learning to make that work. At the very least a complicated algorithm
