No, lots of people willingly stuck their heads in the sand and ignored the abuses that were happening. See Brigida v Buttigieg for a particularly egregious example around the hiring of ATC. The FAA, on an official test that ATC candidates

Physicians have to work residency, which SUCKS. It is quite common for an advanced postgrad resident (neurosurgery, heart surgery, other specialties) to be paid less than a CRNA.

Government regulators have NOT failed. The CEO already pointed this out - hitting the front windshield on a corner at cruise speed is the worst possible case for a collision like this. Once pilot got some light shrapnel and the airplane su

It's a consequence of the executive's power to... well, execute the law. They can simply decide to not focus prosecution on certain crimes. If they can do that, why not let them also pardon people?

Philosophy failed us by not producing any compelling definitions of understanding. If it did, we would BUILD IT. I'm not handwaving it away. The biggest barrier to AGI is that we simply don't understand what intelligence is in a

Unless your theory is that the median voter is kind of an idiot who doesn't understand how the government works and goes based on vibes. Such a person would ignore any issue short of, say, their paychecks or SSA benefits not arriving o

I certainly haven't called you a racist - but given that you seem to support these slapdash ICE raids where agents have no way of knowing who's a citizen and who's not, either you believe in a magic citizen-detecting wand or

Obviously illegitimate because that would imply that minorities have civil rights :)

Help! I'm trying to have a serious discussion on the Internet but this guy is incapable of dealing with data and facts and keeps accusing the windmills of being too woke.

A human generally does not contradict themselves in a single conversation, and if they do they generally can provide a satisfying explanation for how to resolve the contradiction.

The "pelican on a bicycle" test has been around for six months and has been discussed a ton on the internet; that second example is fascinating but Wikipedia has infoboxes containing coordinates like 48°51′24″N 2°21′8″E (Paris, no

I see masked agents going around in broad daylight throwing people in the back of vans and running over protestors as a failure of the system, because I have eyes and took a civics class in high school. Very sad the country has returned to

Right, but modeling the structure of language is a question of modeling word order and binding affinities. It's the Chinese Room thought experiment - can you get away with a form of "understanding" which is fundamentally inc

ICE is operating beyond the strict bounds of the law, and also violating important normative statements like "the government does not send masked agents to haul people away in public without warrants." The Supreme Court has ruled

I think the fundamental reason it's laid out like this is because it results in elements with the same major index being close to each other for caching. The assumption is that users will change their minor index much more often than

Fear is a phenomenal backstop to responsibility, and in fact most aviation safety relies on the fact that pilots don't want to die. Paperwork should be regularly audited and discrepancies investigated. The other nice thing about fear

Yeah, but sometimes "if your negligence kills these people we will put you in jail" is exactly how you get people to pay attention. The vital part is closing the loop.

The government has become more efficient over time and its size as a percentage of the population has reduced as the population has grown. Government does have a constraint like that - it has to remain solvent. A government as powerful as
