Put the costs on the carriers, not hand the job over to them.

In this specific incident, there was a system in place called Runway Entrance Lights [0] that does serve as an automated sanity check on controllers commands. The surveillance video that is circulating shows that the system was working and

Yes, I get that. But an airport is not a rail network. The question is how you would actually implement physical interlocks on an airport in a way that works and is safe while controlling movement of everything from a pickup truck to an A38

2 is campaign finance reform. The only meaningful campaign finance reform is going to come with limits on political speech. Otherwise you just get the same amount of spend with even more of it being funneled through PACs.

While it's not as sophisticated, there is a technology called Runway Entrance Lights [0] that does somewhat the same thing in the specific context of this incident. LGA is one of 20 airports around the country where this system is inst

I work in exactly this space as a NASA contractor. I don't actually have a massive amount of insight into the FAA, but my impression is that they don't do much in the way of R&D on their own. I think (without hard numbers mind

Not GP, but I think there are a few things that could be done either through a complete re-write of the constitution or through amendments if that process somehow becomes tenable again. 1. Massively increase the size of congress. Modern tec

Are you aware that smoking used to be allowed on planes? We didn't stop allowing it because of a rash of airplane fires either.

Fine by me. I don't particularly like Python, but it's the defacto standard in my field so I have to use it (admittedly this is an improvement over a decade ago, when MATLAB was the defacto standard). I don't care about prese

This is not a substantive response to > Most engineers never get to choose the programming language used for 90% of their professional projects. If it was up to me, there are plenty of languages to choose from that meet my technical need

Couldn't disagree more. To the extent building a homebrew CPU is interesting at all, for me it's _only_ making it actually work despite all of the real world hiccups that make it interesting. Designing it in the simulator is &quot

Could you maybe give us the 4-5 liner version then?

This is only true in some cases though and not others. With a Claude Pro plan, I'm being billed monthly regardless of token usage so maximizing token count just causes frustration when I hit the rather low usage limits. I've also

I still can't tell which direction this score goes... Does a decreasing score mean it is "less safe" (i.e. "more violent") or does it mean it is "less violent" (i.e. "more safe")?

I can't speak to Germany, but we also have "end of speed limit" signs in California, and here they definitely mean what the other commenters have said, i.e. the basic speed rule applies. Just based on reading these comments,

I say this as an American... I can't help but feel that the US will be judged to have been on the wrong side of history in virtually every topic for which there are sides in the last decade if not longer. For reasons I don't under

As far as I can tell, Asahi actually requires dual boot. There doesn't seem to be an option to install it standalone. (But I have an M4 Air, so I'm not able to install it yet)

Would you not? It would look odd and draw a lot of attention simply for being unusual, but I'm struggling to come up with any way in which doing so would actually harm me.

I don't think "no idea" is fair. We don't have exact numbers, but there are various statements out there that give clues. Even the highest estimates I can put together put Starship far cheaper than SLS.

by 0xffff2 7mo ago
It's not like SLS is on schedule either, and it is absurdly more expensive than Starship. It's very likely that Starship will eventually be operational with lower total costs by any accounting measure. (And I say this as a current

And the US learned the lesson the hard way in Iraq that in fact even human intelligence struggles with this. There were major problems throughout the war with individual soldiers not adhering to the published rules of engagement.

This is not correct. The backup camera requirement comes from a NHTSA (i.e. Federal) regulation.

As someone who loves pie and has far fewer friends and family than the person this story is about, baking a pie every day for a year would also change my life.

Been there, done that, would not recommend. Working on such projects is incredibly frustrating and demoralizing.

I don't thing it's purely stubbornness. Tesla sold the promise of software only updates resulting in FSD to hundreds of thousands of people. Not all of those people are in the cult of Tesla. I would expect admitting defeat at this

I think American car companies are orthogonal to the question. The larger point is that _Japanese and German_ cars for the American market are largely themselves American by many important metrics.

Does anyone expect there will be a post oil industry? I would assume (with not particular knowledge on the subject mind) that once we wind down oil use for fuel and to some extent plastics, there will be enough oil in the ground to support

I believe Mercedes is the only consumer car manufacturer that is advertising an SAE Level 3 system. My understanding is that L3 is where the manufacturer says you can take your attention off the road while the system is active, so they&#x27

I've lived all over California and I agree that 25mph is the norm here. Edit: However, elsewhere in the thread someone linked this Streetview image that shoes that this particular school zone is 15mph: https://maps.app.goo.g
