A lot of this is just wrong. AI can now see the output. It's interesting that highly flawed opinion pieces like this are so popular.

It's a much easier challenge when every moving vehicle in the airport environment is issued a relatively exact clearance. The ATC clearance gives each vehicle a movement contract. It would be great if avionics actually took those into
123.

A clearance from ATC means you can land not that you must land nor that it is safe to land. PIC still has the ultimate choice. It's common practice in the US to issue landing clearances even when another plane is on the runway or the

Well imagine if we designed a TCAS-like system that did work below 1,000 feet!

by aeternum 7mo ago
Planes use a system called TCAS to prevent collisions in the sky, this system is independent of ATC and works even if ATC is not paying attention or if pilots have the wrong frequency tuned. It detects impending collisions and gives both p

No that is not the issue. Runway incursions have always been a problem and many deaths have occurred. There have been many attempts to change phraseology, teach pilots and controllers to always readback runways, etc. but nothing that actua

Much of big tech became Product leaders running amok. Somehow It shifted from users know best to "Product" knows best. I think this all stemmed everyone wanting to be Apple except no one actually achieved it and now we have 3 dif

It's a good question. It would be violent crime trend correlation with de-escalation training. Or even with complaints of police aggression. Even more useful would be to separate out assault + battery where the victim is random vs. no

I'm not claiming that de-escalation implies ignoring antisocial behavior or failing to confront. I'm claiming that some antisocial behavior is only triggered by some degree of escalation.

by aeternum 7mo ago
This will be a controversial opinion but I think some escalation by police is warranted. The reality is there are aggressive people in society that have a tendency to escalate things. If police are trained to only de-escalate, it removes a

Amazing, never thought it would happen. Ridiculous to have laws that unfairly protect dead industries. Dockworkers next please so we can have automated container unloading.

It's unclear what boots on the ground can do that bombing can't. Diplomacy generally doesn't work until neither side gains by extending the conflict.

A throttle is excellent on an e-bike especially for city riding. It is far easier to move at slow speeds by applying a small amount of throttle vs. trying to torque the pedals just the right amount, if behind someone or near pedestrians. M

The next headline will be that it also damages human retinas. It's not safe just because it's infrared. And the claims that it's safe because of the exposure time is highly questionable, would you be okay with that for any o

I disagree. If doing thing x brings benefits, then you have reason to do thing x regardless of the wager. Utilitarianism is sufficient. The wager is only interesting on those rites where the expected-value is uncertain or unknowable.

The problem with Pascal's wager logic is you have to change your behavior based on all kinds of crazy low-probability events. You must worship every god, be an AI-doomer, a climate-doomer, a nuclear-doomer. Pascal's wager is gene

If you ride enough Waymo, you will realize it is a far more cautious driver than a human but not a better driver. If you need to get somewhere even at an average speed, you still take uber/lyft. Waymo still takes many wrong turns and

Yes hopefully this is the case. I'd prefer if it were worded more like: He has access to reply but has been told not to reply without human approval.

So why have pensions rather than direct ownership and control via a 401k? It's pretty obvious that pension fund managers have ulterior motives. It also seems insane that a bad pension fund or company directors can destroy people'

It's often hard to beat bulk mining. When you're already mining a quarter billion tons of iron and 5B tons of coal, you get a decent amount of all other trace(rare-earth) metals as part of that stream. It's far easier to jus
