I dislike these articles that end up being written with a leftist bias that AI is already being used to [purposely] control and marginalize people. There are definite inequalities in society including in medicine and these biases I am sure

I wonder if AI could help us with the problem of how life started. Either through simulation or some extension of existing programs like the ones used for drug discovery and protein folding. I know AI is not some kind of panacea for difficu

It could be an oversight because the intended audience is pilots. I think the answer might be that nose up increases the chance of a stall, so more power is added to increase airspeed and therefore lift. I'm not a pilot though, I found

Not mentioned are FAA rules on night flights, flight out of line-of-sight, flying drones commercially (licensing required) etc. So this could end up being federally illegal no matter what PA decides.

Muilenburg was an aerospace engineer by training, that is how he ended up at Boeing. To be fair, though it sounds like he was on the management track early on, so not sure how much engineering he did after graduation.

Like others here have mentioned, I reused the grocery store thin bags for lining small bathroom trash cans or when scooping cat litter. Now I need to buy special trash bags instead so no environmental savings. I also have a ridiculous numbe

I love how you can build complex operations from each of the simple primitives like From Hex->Uppercase->XOR->Remove NULL->To Hex and save them as a recipe. It reminds me of the Linux command line where each program is simple bu

I would take it as a point of pride to be on the receiving end of one of Linus' rants. If I have his attention and he is even looking at something I wrote, it lets me know I made it :)

Wait, so the airplane manufacturer, Boeing, does not even make its own airframes? Some third party company makes the whole fuselage (most of the plane) and Boeing does what, bolts on the wings and third-party engines then sells it?

It does make me start to think that there is perhaps a large contingent of people who go around their daily lives just skimming and reacting to headlines. How does that affect their interpretation of the world around them, I wonder? How doe
