Yeah, the problem was letting people get the expectation that it was an autopilot when it wasn't. Decades of Human Factors research in aviation had already established that people can't maintain focus on a sufficiently-monotonous

I imagined as much. Even so, "autopilot sent your car in a spin" vs "autopilot ran into a truck" is a distinction without a difference for the people inside the car.

I'd guess the downvotes are more for this part: > I don't think there was a single death directly because of autopilot (not 100% sure though). There was a death, and it was very prominent.

I was looking for something like this, to autogenerate a HTTP/2 and a gRPC parser/serializer in Swift!

What I find weird is that it's not really used. Why generate bool, true, and false?

I only see the vectorial map in that link. Is there a way to see satellite, or even better, 3D?

IIRC, the ask for cleartext HTTP/2 was about IoT devices. Which IMO is short-sighted.

It's a no-no always because it's poor reasoning. Saying "these days" is a way to paint it as some kind of fashion above which the commenter is. In this specific case, I reckon dolphins have taste buds too, so it isn'
