In no way am I arguing Apple is right here, but could this have anything to do with a possible shortage in RAM due to supplychain/COVID-19?

Better title would have been: ‘How was research ever presented in a clean, pleasantly formatted document before LaTeX?’

I would think by far it’s for crew safety. Recovery due to an in-flight abort would be difficult in rough seas and weather if they had to be plucked out of the Atlantic. The aerostructure of the falcon 9 can only withstand so much side load

The space suits, UI, design of it all feels exactly what I’ve though the future of space technology would be. Maybe not all the way there yet, but a great leap from hundreds of manual switches and raw aluminum of the shuttle era.

The Unity engine is the best thing to ever happen to aerospace UIs. Makes this feel like the actual future (I think) we all imagine.

Plumbers and electricians don’t go to school for multiple years to learn a trade, they apprentice - learning on the job, until they get to the point where they propel themselves forward.

I work at a company doing something very similar, owned by an aerospace giant as well. We are led to believe that safety is the most important aspect of any part of our work. At least that’s what we’re told at group meetings and company-wid

I read this book a couple years ago, it’s great. In fact, I picked up the book 2nd hand with a note from the author inscribed on a cover page. Neat. This book is especially interesting to anyone building systems where humans are required to

I worked as an undergraduate in a academic research lab trying to develop this exact stuff. I would also hazard a guess that we were funded by the same ARPA grant as niron was. It was a cool concept and got me interested into materials scie

Neat. Would have been nice to add some sort of discriptor indicating what type of dataset it is. For example, I personally have no clue off the top of my head what the “MURA” dataset is. Edit: I now see there is a little icon on the left of

I worked in a research lab to help collect hundreds of thousands of miles of non-biased, real-world, Tesla specific driving data. I know the data is there to help prove or squash claims like this. I hope it gets out there one day.
