Honestly, that's not wild at all to me. They invented AI with other people's money. But they have to use their own money to fight fire.

you're not wrong, but over time people mistreat their measuring tapes when recoiling them and elongating the hole it travels on

doesnt the EV9 have the same door handle design as all Teslas?

she may be implying a lack of precision from the floating tip on a well used/worn measuring tape. i wouldn't rely on that for anything i considered "precise". framing a house? sure.

the issue isnt that they disabled their DEF system or deleted their DPF or EGR, it's that they probably installed new ECUs or flashed new fuel maps or something and boosted the power beyond the torque abilities of the transmission attached. In a lot of diesel RVs the transmissions are normally good to 2,000lb-ft, but the engines can be pushed beyond that pretty easily.

not only that.. we're not far from the point where it becomes undetectable because a camera fed AI instance on one computer is manipulating the inputs on gaming machine

i have no idea what the ubuntu ad is trying to tell me, but OPs points on the Apple ads still seem pretty relevant.

we don't call it numberwang, we call it freedom. /s

isn't meta only end to end encrypted in the most original definition in so much that it is encrypted to each hop. but it's not end to end encrypted like signal.. ie meta can snoop all day

it's a misnomer but airspeed is life. we're not talking about people stalling during air combat or aerobatics, we're talking about doing it in the pattern. simply keeping your speed up and knowing the speed you will stall at based on bank angle should be enough.

> For example it's crazy that most pilots are still taught to calculate W&B using printed charts and approximate takeoff performance.

We're taught that so we know what we're doing. Then we open our iPhone app (EFB or electronic flightbag) and do it there. In fact, part of the reason we do it there is because most of them phone home to their maker and log that we did it. So if there's an accident people can know "well they did their W&B"

Regulations have made aviation so expensive that it's ridiculous. A lot of airplanes flying today are flying with their same avionics from 60 years ago because upgrading is expensive. To get the gas calculation you mention would require a certified GPS (on the low end from Garmin that's $6,000) and an engine monitor ($5,500 from Garmin), plus installation costs of another few thousand dollars.

Most planes have a gear down warning (ie, 3 indicator lights) but their original "bitching betty" is hard to hear because we now wear ear protection when we fly and have noise cancelling headphones. You probably can't even integrate that with a new Garmin system because they've gone full encrypted CANBUS to lock out integrations.

re: spin warnings - not sure what to tell you there. Stall speed is based on weight and configuration (flaps) and 99% of GA planes have no idea what they weigh or if their flaps are deployed.

But again, it's not that we can't do those things, it's just that they're completely cost prohibitive. Getting anything certified today is a flippin' nightmare and at too high of a cost to ever break even.

there are rolling limits as well as calendar limits. depends on the airline and union cba.

there's a great meme out there that says something like: Everyone on my floor is coding! \n Software PMs: :-D \n Doctors: :-O

it would not surprise me if companies are start ditching DEI due to fear of retribution from white pople / Republicans since it is starting to look like Biden has no chance of winning, and Trump is promising a cabinet seat to Project 2025.

Some companies have had a major relapse. See Kia/Hyundai.

i'm jealous of you. I recently had a day where I got 25 phone calls. 23 were spam. Turning on iOS "ignore unrecognize phone numbers" has been amazing (i assume android has the same feature)

The Yen is the lowest it's been in a long time so probably not.

> few incidents that have been in the news that were clearly suicides.

i only know of two - one was a stolen plane by a mechanic or ground crew, not a pilot. the other was a mass murder, not a fantasized suicide.

> I suspect his crash was a suicide.

I wouldn't count on that. Most of us wouldn't do that to the aviation world. Decreases plane availability, especially for something like a T-34 Mentor, increases insurance rates, increases FAA stance on already asinine policies, etc.

occams razor - he misjudged his aerobatics.

antitrust requires consumer harm. is there any here? nvidia has gotten here by not resting on their laurels as opposed to how others typically do (imho).

if profit is capped at 10% of revenue then it sounds like the incentive is to raise revenue, not lower expenses.

techbros thinking they can solve all of the world's problems that they actually have zero experience dealing with?

shitty voucher system

Did the guy with the laundromat ever get to build housing or is SF still up in arms over shadows?

edit omg it didn't. that city is so f'n corrupt that a guy trying to build affordable housing was eventually forced to sell to a hotel magnate. That's hilarious.

your dentist is probably using it to analyze xrays if you get them every couple of years.. it points out all sorts of neat stuff

the vaccine is still beneficial to men.

there is no killer feature where it sees mass adoption.. 99.9% of the population cant afford to drop $3,500 on a computer screen for their computer.

Agreed. The range on plywood is pretty drastic and most of us only use the bad stuff. I wonder how many of us with homes made in the last 20-30 years realize that most of our joists are engineered joists made of plywood (basically wooden I-beams).

From what I've read - a person is claiming the captain said. The captain himself hasn't explicitly admitted to anything yet.

Quake 3 was probably the first time the id really built a game to demonstrate an engine for the sake of engine sales. And then again with Rage.
