I was just thinking about how the conversational side of multi modal models is perfect for this.

I weep for the power consumption if this becomes popular but I still love it

I think that's the idea, people buying these are probably hoping to reduce screen time

Overall these will massively increase screen time in the incarcerated populated

are we saying we're going to keep making hard drives so we can save everything ever produced? I see the value in many things but I worry about the load of expecting everything to be saved forever.

working on a project like this seems like a good way to learn and perfect skills you wouldn't be able to if you were working on a pipeline of issues for an existing package.

it's a fun fact and a bit of history. you're welcome to move on.

ideally not but I imagine the primary concern when writing that was making it work well with as many devices as possible. spamming thousands of fake devices is artificial stress testing territory. I'd like to see it better handled but I'd also like the focus to be implementing the feature in a polished and compatible way.

looking at the article, you're really splitting hairs - wind and nuclear are 0.3 and 0.4km2, many of the others are 20+

if you were to ask someone based on that if wind was one of the techs that use least land, it's an obvious yes.

I think you're being more disingenuous than the article..

can someone else tell me if the actual relative risk is significant? my gut tells me no

There have been zero incidents involving passenger injury or death since the MCAS issue was fixed.

Meanwhile there are something like 1,300 of them in regular service.

You’ll note, maybe, that pilots continue to fly the plane without raising a stink. If there was a serious concern for their own safety, you’d hear something about pilots refusing to fly them.

Can’t answer this with data, although I’m not sure how many more headlines we need to see before we can collectively accept that something is very, very wrong with this plane at a fundamental level.

Given the number of airframes that rolled out over the decades that didn’t have this issue, I’m inclined to believe there isn’t necessarily an issue with the aircraft. Now Boeing’s manufacturing quality over the last 5-10 years though, that seems to be a major problem. Look at the issues the US Armed forces have had with receiving incomplete aircraft with missing parts and misplaced tools.

The entire industry seems to be under strain since COVID. There was a massive brain drain across the entire system and it’s causing issues at all levels. Many working in the industry are on edge trying to maintain safety.

The 737 MAX 9 entered service in 2018. Not even 1 decade for these, let alone multiple "decades".

The fuselage, which failed in this instance, is a stretched copy of every other 737 fuselage.

The FAA has grounded all of these aircraft. I think right now we have good reason to believe the risk is significant.

I'm not sure but I think that's a selling point of the new pixel
