Generally spatial disorientation would be pretty unlikely this close to departure, since the departure path tends to be “straight forward with a climb gradient of X” - a pretty unusual situation for pilots of that level of experience. A pos

The thing is, the market always adapts. Your “more productive” won’t actually feel that different. This tool is in that way just another abstraction. Every tech advance has the same wave. Eventually the “more money” actually isn’t necessari

Yes but! There are still many other things in certificated aircraft that are changing regularly based on ADs. This means “we found something in this decades old design that shows up when the fleet is in its 30s.” Aircraft have VERY long lif

A better picture is an AI without guardrails that would be generated by ethical goals. An AI without goals is functionally equal to an AI with nefarious or unethical goals - boundless action trained on human language / behavior will li

My humble prediction: The catastrophe will come primarily in the form of inequity. There will be some who understand and take advantage, and naturally some of those will leverage that power over others. The best version: we help knowledge w

I’ve expressed a similar thought with reference to impostor syndrome - velocity vs acceleration. Early in your career you learn at a rapid pace. You are accelerating. You can feel acceleration. But naturally as you continue, the amount of

I’ve been creating a semantic search using embeddings tonight against my own podcast transcripts. I’d be happy to have my own content surfacing mechanism like this!

The very short answer is certification and what goes into the overall environment of certified aircraft.

This reads quite similar to the complaints from engineers that wrote code GitHub Copilot trained on. The reality for this argument is that the average person does not understand nor care to understand whether an LLM is actually violating th

For someone with a high level understanding of neural networks - isn’t this essentially describing what the weighted connections accomplish for a tuned network?

If I can offer some unsolicited feedback: - This space is very crowded - to consider this app, I need to know a differentiator much sooner. Is it the streak? Is it the zero-knowledge? What makes this different from the 20 other options?

Haha - yes, this is really just a language problem. Visibility for pilots is a precise measurement, not a classification. "Can I see" is a different question than "how many miles can I see", and even still "how many

Yes, but generally this would be used the opposite direction. If cloud bases are unavailable, or if weather is changing rapidly, you could use say barometric pressure + dew point to determine "is this about to go south towards low clou

Also a note of caution... You could easily fall prey to confirmation bias on this one. Their interest in shrooms or psychedelics isn't necessarily a straight line to fentanyl. Plenty of people have one without the other. I have a lot o

On the one hand, you're absolutely correct. On the other hand, there is some overlap in classification here: experience-altering substances. OP's intuition is, "this person's entire mental interest pool is consumed by so

I appreciate you sharing your experience, but keep in mind two things: 1. It's unclear what your family member was going through. Your own experience is much more salient to you, but battles are more and more invisible to external view

Do we have a clear picture for where we want this to go in the future? Though not exactly the same, does this start to walk the path towards a "soma" equivalent?

Things I use as a pilot of a single engine piston: - Temp dew point spread - Barometric pressure - TAF / forecast - Wind shear - Freezing level - Cloud tops - Cloud level AGL - visibility measured in actual distance All of these things

Today I asked Siri what the temperature was this morning. It told me it doesn’t have access to past weather information. Siri has been available for 12 years… I cannot understand why it hasn’t leaped forward more than it has. Embarrassingly

Any good process should care about both the vector and the magnitude. The saddest state of affairs, and most common, is when highly capable people have a high magnitude with an incorrect (or inconsistent) vector, leading them nowhere.

It’s sleep or rust-free decks, take your pick I guess. I suspect it’s a mix of mismanagement and stretched resources, not strictly one or the other.

You know, this actually seems like an interesting opportunity to use this locally as a superpowered CMS for my statically generated site. I’d have to figure out how to create a linkage that can be translated to my Next-based resource URLs,

Studies have been conducted about this, and many times have shown at best very mild correlations with confounding not controlled for (one French study is an example of this).

I‘m the host of Developer Tea. It’s not for everyone (not a technical podcast), but you may enjoy it! I also recommend Hidden Brain, SyntaxFM if you are into JS especially, and Soft Skills Daily.

There is nothing wrong with it per se, and no, you don’t have to know Linux commands to get by. Sure, a Linux one liner might be “easier” to someone who knows Linux… but that doesn’t mean it’s “wrong.”

I have learned this with my wife… Gifts don’t mean just one thing. There is a variety of things you can optimize for. For my wife, me getting her something she wants but wouldn’t get herself is the right gift. That, or something she wouldn’
