It makes complete sense why they release these though as it seems pretty important to the investigation. The audio isn't even a big deal, if any part of this event triggered PTSD I think the already released video would do a better job than the audio would. Compare:

Just from this, it makes sense why the spectrograph is included at all, namely you can visually observe the sound patterns in the actual recording against known sounds already made by different alerting systems in the MD11, which helps understand how the safety systems responded to the incident, which is potentially useful for the existing MD11 fleet, or possibly even future aircraft designs. Site note: MD as in McDonnell Douglas, as in the same company that bought Boeing using Boeing's own money and turned it into the shit that it is today. The last one was made 26 years ago, close to the same time this law was made.

We value education more, guns less.

Is that why you guys believe French is indigenous anywhere in North or South America at all, let alone Canada?

We value cooperation more, greed less.

Is that why are your housing costs three times higher than southern California even though the land is less than a third as desirable? Or why you have overpriced but still dog shit slow internet access reminiscent of the USA circa 2005?

We're OK with single-payer healthcare instead of letting the rich at the top get richer bleeding us to death, and you're not going to convince us that's wrong because somebody else is getting healthcare 'for free'.

If somebody wants free health care here, all they have to do is apply for MediCal, which is kind of like Canadian health care, only better because it's a lot easier to find a doctor, and you can generally get surgical operations done within a much shorter time span, and you have access to top tier specialists when necessary. Same with AHCCCS in Arizona, and probably many other states with similar programs, those are just the two I know of.

But more importantly, nobody here will ever refer you to MAID simply because the care needed is difficult to get in your country due to budget or talent constraints.

Though I guess technically that isn't bleeding you to death since MAID doesn't involve any kind of bloodletting. Well played, wildling, you must be proud of your igloo.

There's a reason so many Americans have recently discovered their Canadian roots and want our passport, and it's not because things are going well in the US.

Those are people who like to collect passports. Yours is probably their fourth or fifth, somewhere after other countries with easy passports like Portugal, Malta, or Mozambique.

When I was a kid, we called that a Phone Book, now it's "Exposing Customer Data"? OK, whatever.

The phone book never identified that you made fucking stupid purchasing decisions. I'm happy to give people my phone number and my address, but I'd probably die of shame if anyone caught me with a Trump phone.

Nah, you're just playing chequers while Trump the genius is playing 27 dimensional chess which you couldn't possibly understand. When you use Lorentz conversion formulas to map dimensions 23 through 26 into the standard cartesian dimensional system you'll find out it was delivered ahead of schedule. And when you do a bit of highschool level matrix math to unfold the 15th dimension you'll find it was delivered under budget too and that you actually make money by buying this phone.

EXCEPT, spending next year is projected to increase by another $1 trillion over this year's spending. Okay, it's not 47% growth like this years projected numbers, but ~ +35% is still a significant rate.

This is my point. You're biased against A.I. That's fine. You don't need a reason to not like it, or maybe you have plenty of reasons. Equally irrelevant. The only thing that matters are the NUMBERS. You point to individual actions by companies and then have extrapolated that across the whole industry. You're either cherry-picking examples or you've got biased tunnel-vision.

Samsung is dumping $73 billion into AI in the next few years. While an impressive amount of money, it's a fact that means absolutely nothing to determining the course of the Industry as a whole. There's only two numbers you need to consider to determine what direction everything is going. Company investing and consumer spending. As long as both are headed up.... Well... that would kinda make anyone talking about the sky falling look like a moron.

Both are rising fast

As an aside.. ANYONE who thinks this shit is going away... is a fucking idiot. We may have years of greater spending, we may have years of lesser spending, but anyone who thinks that there will ever be a return to a pre-AI reality is delusional. We are in the absolute infancy of this space. Probably for worse, but we are right at the start of the next arms race. My guess is that the D.O.W (D.O.D) probably is already training their own models. And you can bet your ass that China's military is doing the same thing. Those two entities, alone, will drive a DECADE of spending.. D.O.D spending was what drove the entire super-computer industry for well over five decades. Hell, they're probably still the primary driver, but I'm just speculating on that. I don't recent data.

Cracks in the industry.... The only cracks are the rocks you must be smoking...

Full disclosure.. I pay for Claude Max.. So I'm not going to pretend I don't have my own biases. But they certainly didn't influence the results I obtained because I'm only looking at the 40,000 foot view. And that view screams spending for the foreseeable future, regardless of my own personal views. Numbers don't lie... Right?

Yeah because the executives were the ones on strike? No, this was a bonus for people working in the chip plants, a pre-agreed bonus for 607% of annual salary for all people working in the memory division. This was largely done because of the insane number of people jumping ship to SK Hynix.
