Google uses AI to predict flight delays!

Google uses AI to predict flight delays!

Google has launched AI (Artificial Intelligence), which can predict flight delays before the airline itself. Also, some information on why this delay will happen specifically for a flight.

If you remember, I recently wrote an article about the fact that Google has completely redesigned Google Flights, and it seems that innovations are only related. I wrote in the plural because now they have introduced information about what you get and what you don't, along with your ticket. For example, do you have space in your class for things above your head or can you choose a place, etc. (shown in the animation below)?

Google uses AI to predict flight delays!

Google says it uses historical flight data (as well as many other influencing factors) and machine learning to predict delays. They are also note that the delay will be announced only in the case when the security is higher than 80%, which is quite enough.

Now, in my opinion, take their information about the delay with a grain of salt. For example, when you are really in a race against time and you are forced to leave some jobs unfinished. In that case, if Google is more than 80% sure that the flight will be delayed, you can take a risk and still get the job done. However, Google advises you to arrive at the airport on time.

To get this delay information, just enter the flight number (eg "American 4442") or the flight route (eg "Air New Zealand Auckland to Singapore") and all the information will appear in one place.

SIM card sizes (Mini, Micro, Nano) - explanation

Many users still complain about the size of SIM (subscriber identification module) cards. Which one goes on the phone? Can it be shortened? Can a smaller one into a larger slot? Although we are slowly switching to eSIM (more on this in this article ), we still use classic SIM cards. Newer phones usually require a Nano sizes, but operators issue SIM cards in all sizes. More precisely, now SIM cards are made so that the user can choose the size immediately, and later change it if necessary. More on that at the end of the article.
