It’s basically the modern radar system as in it supplies the data air traffic controllers see on their screens. Civilian ATC doesn’t really use actual radars any more.

That said, TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) does not operate on flight data reported by ADS-B.


Aliens fucked over the carbonator on engine four, I’m gonna try to refuckulate it and land on Juniper

That only happens after 24 hours and only if the tag has been continuously traveling with an iPhone present.

that works with Android too

It is, but it also stains forever anything it touches.

Good luck getting GPT models to analyze Trump’s business deals. Somehow they don’t know about Deutsche Bank’s history with money laundering either.

You use routers as the beefy servers. Unicast, multicast, broadcast.

Unfortunately that means the implementation needs to reach all the way into the network layer.


Multicast doesn't work on the global internet, and can't, due to problems of scalability and billing. It's sometimes possible to negotiate with specific ISPs to use multicast in specific ways on their network.

Word of warning: the Embody chair does not have front-to-back adjustments for the armrests. They will be pretty useless unless you like having your keyboard close to the edge of your desk.

Obviously not.

And just like that, the bubble burst.

It’s brainrot, that’s what it is.

I believe agentic coding could eventually be a paradigm shift, if and only if the agents become self-conscious of design decisions and their implications on the system and its surrounding systems as a whole.

If that doesn’t happen, the entire workflow devolves into specifying system states and behavior in natural language, which is something humans are exceedingly bad at.

Coincidently, that is why we have invented programming languages: to be able to express program state and behavior unambiguously.

I’m not bullish on a future where I have to write specifications on all explicit and implicit corner and edge cases just to have an agent make software design choices which don’t feel batshit insane to humans.

We already have software corporations which produce that kind of code simply because the people doing the specifying don’t know the system or the domain it operates in, and the people doing the implementing of those specifications don’t necessarily know any of that either.


We have programming languages because people don’t want to only write assembly.
