Sure but that needs to be set up and configured. I just don’t think there’s enough time in the scenario for ATC to guide a non-pilot to do it. And if they got that guidance, why no flaps and gears? I am quite convinced the pilots themselves

I don’t think water is preferable to a runway, gear or not. Both will be very hard surfaces indeed at the right speed, and water has additional hazards that more than make up for the fact it has more space.

They seemed perfectly lined up with the runway and descended at the right pace though. That’d be real tough for a non-pilot to achieve.

They don’t send the photo. They send some encrypted metadata to which some noise is added. The metadata can be loosely understood as “I have this photo that looks sort of like this”. Then the server takes that encrypted data from the anonym

Doing regenerative farming does not mean abandoning half a century of knowledge and technological progress. Rather, it is using all we now know and know how to do to heal the land and maximizing output. In a lot of cases yes, the output may

That, and/or freeway speeds make the situation inherently more dangerous. When the traffic flows freeway speeds are fine but if a freeway-speed car has to handle a stationary object…problem.

Why? I would hope we all expect pedestrian detection (and object detection in general) to be just as good on a freeway as on a city street? It seems the Tesla barreled full-speed into an accident ahead of it. I would call it insane but that

When you rent each carriage from a rolling stock company you’re incentivized to run as short trains as possible to keep them as full as a sardine can. Renationalize the whole lot.

That is so the wrong approach. If I’m very reductive, I could say that if we automate everything there would be no one to commute left. Staffing is good for people: for safety, information, help for the vulnerable, expertise, robustness of

I'd really like to know where this was or see some pictures of it. It's almost inconcievable that something designed like a roundabout would be more dangerous. It might indeed cause more accidents due to the kind of confusion you

What’s bad for US semiconductor manufacturing (I.e. a poor and cash starved Intel) buys China more time to catch up to frontier fab tech. If Qualcomm buys Intel, the optimistic scenario (for the US) is a stronger domestic player.

Sure. But they’re not giving the user a choice in the matter. Also, it’s transcoded on the device as it’s backing up, which is the last thing I want to spend battery power on. My NAS is on and plugged into the wall 24/7 for a reason
