Comment Re:A 2018 advisory was issued for those switches (Score 2) 93

From the preliminary report

"As per the information from Air India, the suggested inspections were not carried out as the SAIB was advisory and not mandatory. The scrutiny of maintenance records revealed that the throttle control module was replaced on VT-ANB in 2019 and 2023. However, the reason for the replacement was not linked to the fuel control switch. There has been no defect reported pertaining to the fuel control switch since 2023 on VT-ANB."

So the inspection recommended by the 2018 advisory you mentioned was not carried out. It is, however, not relevant in this case since the whole module (which includes the fuel control switches) was replaced for other reasons. So if the switches had been, inded, defective in 2018, that was corrected by the whole module being replaced.

It irks me that people who do not understand what a job is think AI can do it. A developer probably spends about 10% of their time actually writing code. Rest of the time is spent figuring what the users need/want, or modifying/debugging existing code.

The joke is "AI will replace developers, as soon as users are able to tell it exactly what they want."

Also, wasn't COBOL, the "english-like" language, supposed to make programmers obsolete?

IMHO we should create an AI to replace VCs and CEOs - should be much easier!

Comment Did this producer invent the color orange? (Score 4, Insightful) 78

I looked at the linked PDF of the legal complaint. It contains a couple of exhibits illustrating the allegedly plagiarized images. They show a man standing in front of an orange-hued urban landscape, not dissimilar from those that occur in reality during wildfire episodes

Claiming copyright infringement on generic images of orange skies would be akin to the producer of the movie "The Beach" suing anyone who prints images of a beach resort with white sands and turquoise waters.

Comment Google already does this (Score 3, Insightful) 31

When I search using Google an "AI Overview" panel appears at the top with a summary of the search results, including liks to the original sources from which the AI got its data. Most of the time it even produces useful results. Probably it's a feature I was offered to opt-in at some point. I don't even remember when, but it has been there for months. Perhaps what OpenAI will offer is better. We'll see. However, it's hard to see how this move is "opening a new front". It's more like they are playing catch-up.

You base your estimation in one tax payment per cow. However, the article says the tax is annual. So if you keep the cow for another year, you have to pay again. Another quick google search shows that "American beef comes mostly from steers and heifers slaughtered between 18 and 24 months old.". If that's also true for Denmark, then the actual increase in costs would be between 6% and 8%
