Where are you getting that from? The purpose of a RAT is to sustain power. It will deploy automatically under a variety of conditions, including dual engine failure on takeoff.

All this bit of spin tells us is that the aircraft wasn't grossly misconfigured by the crew. Great.

This is going to be bad fuel. But that won't come out for a long time, because it will put the fault on a state operated airline, from a state operated airport, investigated by that state's authority. If India could plausibly pin this on a Boeing design fault they would be shouting it from the mountain tops, and they've had nearly 3 weeks to analyze the complete data set from both flight data+voice recorders. That fact that what we're getting, instead, is spin stories like this, should tell you everything you need to know.

Are they implying this little propeller is a backup propulsion device?

>" LLMs doing crawling? That might be ill-behaved, bot not an "attack".

Some of us will think of it as an attack when the bots ignore robots.txt (or honor changes very slowly), masquerade intentionally as something they are not, and use tons of different addresses hitting the same site, especially when it is continuous. I discovered this, myself, on a small internet-connected club server later last year. The mediawiki site was becoming unresponsive and throwing errors. On investigation, we were having dozens of http requests per second, from Amazon and Bytedance. Every one of them was coming from a different IP address. Only our main page was allowed in robots.txt, so SOMETHING would end up on search sites, but the bots didn't care. I changed it to ignore everything on the site, instead of just the main page, but that apparently isn't checked very often. It took me hours of manually banning over a thousand IP addresses before the server could reasonably respond to web requests again.

Example hit:

47.128.50.93 - - [22/Sep/2024:15:03:05 -0400] "GET /mediawiki/index.php?days=30&from=20240920012115&title=Special%3ARecentChanges HTTP/1.1" 200 10111 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 5.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile Safari/537.36 (compatible; Bytespider; spider-feedback@bytedance.com)"

Eventually, the overwhelming majority of the "robots" (web scrapers) did honor robots.txt disallowing everything, some just did so very lazily and took days of attempted hammering us before stopping. I still haven't removed the IP blocks nor put robots.txt back to allowing just the main page.

... intestine.

It's like visual coding or RAD all over again. Whenever suits and PHBs are told there's a magic wand that'll allow them to do without paying people for the nitty-gritty bits, they get all excited and convince each other in their echo chamber that their dream of a company of all managers and no workers is just around the corner.

Then reality says "hi", the hype dies down, a few scam artists got rich and the world continues as it was, with a couple new cool tools in the toolbox of those who know how to use them correctly - which is generally the same people that were supposedly being replaced.

That's how I see AI. I've been writing software for the better part of 40 years. What I see from AI is sometimes astonishing and sometimes pathetic. I would never, ever, ever put AI generated code into production software without carefull checking and refactoring, and I would fire anyone who does.

Code completion is mostly in the "astonishing" part. If I write a couple lines of near-identical stuff, like assigning values from an input to a structured format for processing, the AI most of the time gets right the next line I want to write. Anything more complex than that is hit-and-miss.

Mostly, I use AI the way I would use an intern. "Can you look up how to use this function correctly? What are the parameters and their defaults?" or "Write me some code that's tedious to write (like lots of transformation operations) but not rocket science by far.
Essentially, it does faster and a little bit better what previously I'd have done with Google and Stackoverflow.

I have no fear it'll replace developers anytime soon. Half of the time the code is outright wrong, most of the time it has glaring security issues or isn't half as fault-tolerant as it should be, and for any case where I know how to do it without any research, I'd be faster writing the code myself then going through several iterations with an AI to get it done.

That's the idea. Get this system fully optimized and serialized, we can develop all the farm land into thousands of cute little off-grid gated exurbs. Everything needed to protect ourselves from the hoi polloi when we outlaw their fossil fuel.

Maybe the real question is why bother having children, to bring them into the world where they are really unwanted by the entire society?

>"You bring a valid point about âoesodaâ, but your point is pretty damn new too. Most âoehealthyâ soda options available today didnâ(TM)t even exist a decade ago."

Some did. The most significant being RC brand (sold as "Diet Rite"). They had several flavors, my favorite being white grape. That is really hard to find now for some reason. I also prefer sucralose-sweetened vs. aspartame. Again, that will narrow choices down a lot. Stevia-sweetened just doesn't taste good and is quite expensive. Would love to try a monk-fruit version, but I haven't ever seen one.

>"And the overwhelming amount of âoesodaâ dispensers available at fast food places and restaurants are NOT offering healthier options. Its filled with the usual suspects."

That is very true. You can opt for sugar free just about everywhere, and have been able to do that for a long time. But that is about as far as you can take it. I just drink water. Saves a lot of money, too. Which, I admit, I then often blow on a sugar/calorie-laden dessert. Oh well.

As for sugar (of any kind), the worst thing you can do is consume that BETWEEN meals, without substantial food. It will spike blood sugar, mess with metabolism, ruin teeth, encourage weight gain, etc.

>"That's great that you drink mostly water."

It isn't exciting, but ya get used to it.

>"But the important question is which Linux distro did you install on your grandmother's computer? And is Grandma still on speaking terms with you?"

My grandmother died when I was in college, decades ago. She never had a computer. But when my mom got a computer, at that time I installed Mandrake. Later Mageia. Then Mint. But she hasn't used a computer in a few years now due to AD.

Ya know.. sometimes a person is so stupid that it's actually hilarious. You actually think this.. You think we don't want healthcare.... No fucktard, we don't want public healthcare. We're tired of watching the system grow ever more fragile and ever more expensive because of constant meddling by the government. I want to pay for my healthcare.. I don't want to pay for yours. And yes, we still want oversight and regulation. We're not anarchists.

That's rich... most folks in the trades (construction, electrical, plumbing, etc) are conservative. We all work for our money. We're not so thrilled about handing it over to people who don't work. I've dug more ditches in the hot sun than I like to think about. I'd work your ass under the table any day of the week. I'm guessing you're about as soft as a woman.

But you sure as fuck don't want to pay someone to do it. No, you prefer the illegal workers.. The ones being paid an illegally low wage.... That's the crux of it.. They're illegal. They're working under the table.. Being paid in cash. You don't hire an illegal with the intention of paying them at least the minimum wage. If you were going to do that, you'd just hire legal people and not risk being fined or imprisoned for violations of labor laws.

You're right.. Most Americans don't want to do those jobs. They're back-breaking and they don't pay much. You know who would do those jobs? Recent immigrants to the United States who might really need a fucking job to help them get up and running. You know, the same kind of people who are getting fucked by the system because of liberals like you. The legal migrants can't get those jobs, working in the fields, because to hire them. the company would have to pay them a legal wage... They're legal immigrants.. They're in the system. All those labor laws apply to them and anyone hiring them is going to have to pay them a legal wage. Minimum sure, but still legal. More then they're paying the border hoppers.

Every time one of you retard liberals start talking about illegals and crops, you cunts immediately try to pull the "our food is gonna be more expensive" card like it's going to make your case for your. Yeah, fuck-face. If food has to be more expensive, so the poor motherfucker picking it can have a "living wage", then I guess our food needs to be more expensive. Aren't you the same fucks (liberals) that have been crowing about how "every job needs to be paid a living wage. If you can't pay a living wage then you don't need to have employees"? Yeah, you are. I've heard that tired fucking trop time after time on Slashdot. Every job needs to pay a living wage... blah blah blah. That's what you all profess to believe. But, like everything else y'all "believe", it's just virtue-signaling. Y'all just love to contradict yourselves in every facet of your twisted ideology. You don't want every job to pay well.. You want illegals working the fields for slave wages so your tomatoes are cheap. Else you wouldn't be bitching about food being more expensive. You'd be embracing it. Can't have cheap tomatoes and pay someone a living wage, can you? Also, you retard, we have work visas... Someone can apply for a seasonal visa, come to the US for harvest season, earn a legal wage, and then go back home. That's been a thing for just about forever. They hand out hundreds of thousands of harvest-time visas every year.

Weird rant.. Gives me Pol Pot vibes.... Seek help.

Oh let me guess. You are opposed to this for some reason... Let me guess, you're one of those uneducated smooth-brains that doesn't have the education to know that a meat heavy diet isn't some new fad.. It's been the only diet of the Eskimo and Inuit people for at least the last ten to fifteen thousand years. Beyond the occasional seaweed, they didn't have many (or any) plants in the majority of their meals.

Point is... what the fuck is up with you people? Now you have opinions on people's meals? The problem here is processed meat. Not fresh meat.

TFS reminds me of militant vegans who still insist that eggs are unhealthy based on poor research done in the 60s. The fools are still married to the long disproven idea that dietary cholesterol leads to cholesterolemia, and were pissed off after the FDA removed the cholesterol RDI.
