Hahaha, what?

You say the pilot in control should have intentionally sheered off the wings (FULL OF JET FUEL) off during a dual-engine failure? You obviously have no idea about planes.

There is nothing that could have been done. They were past V1. There was no arrester pit at the end of the runway (which wouldn't have done much). We're talking about a vehicle loaded with 10,000s of lbs of fuel. Sheering the wings off would have spread chaos and destruction.

There is nothing that could have been done.

...I can see this could be useful for preventing reviews that claim I can't spell or do grammar.

It needs to be opt-in, not opt-out - not only for fear of butchering an author's beautiful sentences, but also because some authors who self-publish in English are successful enough that publishers of books in other languages sometimes pay for the right to publish a translation. Those contracts are usually exclusive, meaning that the author agrees not to let anyone else publish a translation of that book in that language. If Amazon's AI generates one without the author's knowledge, the author could get hit with a breach of contract lawsuit.

Ok, except: that doesn't address vulnerabilities in C/C++ apps which are stopped in Rust. This also ignores the fact that there already exist functional tests of these core utilities.

If I can swap a 2mm hex nut from company A for a 2mm hex nut from company B -- and the nuts pass acceptance tests -- that's what you want. It's *ELIMINATING* sources of error within the existing framework of tests.

Sounds like a huge waste of resources. P = MV. Any form of air-balloon is ... how many kilograms? The plane will be going at less than mach 1.

Also, do you not understand what ADSB is? I think you mean TCAS.

This does not have free will. It reflects the biases of information. That it displays oppositional defiance disorder means the creators of the model failed to curate the input data correctly. Garbage in, garbage out.

Does NO ONE understand how LLMs are implemented? It's only a statistical model! Learn statistical experiment design and analysis. Always have HITL safety rails. Always have cross-check software safety rails. These concepts are new to people who don't study information science. These concepts are decades old to people who study information science.

The term you're looking for is "human in the loop" aka HITL.

Oh, so a tiny invertebrate insect (not a mammal) surviving that far north, is a simple by-product of tourism?

Dude, I have some magic beans and a bridge in Brooklyn. Buy them from me. This offer is exclusively for you. Make me an offer.

For anyone not suffering from brain trauma similar to what Phineas Gage had, the reasons are clear. Climate change.

The statistics do not match your statements. Perhaps you should not drink that koolaid. It seems to be as related to reality as kooks are to facts; estranged.

"Vaccines, COVID, masking, conspiracies, Trump. All in a gigantic doom loop that's not worth re-visiting ad nauseam."

But is 't the motto here, "news for nerds; stuff that matters." Those all sound like they matter.

"So just stop already. And please, stop with the microplastics while you're at it."

Ok, Chicken Little. Sticking your head in the sand and going LALALALALALALALALAL (*raspberries/fart sound*) because reality refuses to conform to your personal beliefs? Your head is so far up your ass! Grow up.

I imagine the term was invented in some meeting where a super pedantic engineer was dismissing all other concerns because they were not on his list of "functions", and in desperation the rest of the people said, "geez, ok, look, these are non-functional requirements..."

You could well be right :-) I've noticed that names tend to stick, even as the thing that the name refers to changes, so that the name doesn't really fit any more. One example that comes to mind is RAM versus ROM. RAM is random-access memory, memory that you can access in any order, instead of having to access in sequence, like a tape. ROM is read-only memory, but that's random access too. If you say "RAM", people assume it's writeable, so why isn't RAM called RWM? Or why isn't ROM called RORAM?

(My guess is it's because early computers often didn't have any ROM, and to boot them, you had to enter a simple program into the RAM using switches on the front panel. That program would then load a more sophisticated program from tape or punched cards. When computers gained some storage to hold that simple program, the thing that distinguished it from other types of storage was that you couldn't alter it.)

The way someone explained it to me was that "functional" refers to the reason(s) why the system exists. What result is the user or customer trying to achieve? A non-functional requirement is something that the system needs to make it possible or practical to meet a functional requirement, but that would be of no use on its own. A system for administering loans needs an audit trail to comply with the law and to detect and prevent fraud, but there would be no point in having an audit trail on its own.

On the other hand, from the point of view of someone in the audit team, being able to audit the accounts is a functional requirement. Maybe everything is a functional requirement to somebody.

"The botnet was used to launch more than 370,000 attacks in 80 countries, including China, Japan and the U.S., prosecutors said."

And no one was harmed or killed? Normally manslaughter to murder 1 (in the USA) is 10 years to life. A third of a million attacks targeting 37% of all nations on this panet gets at most TEN years? What the fuck is wrong with the US justice system?!?

They might as well start pardoning the criminals in DC (oh, right, they did that in January). What a banana republic

A) they are that stupid.

B) they are that kind of troll.

Either way, talk about logical fallacies roflmao.

"... but few people are going to care. Its not like there's much to see out an airplane window anyways outside of takeoff and landing."

How about you take a long, tall drink from a cup of shit-the-fuck-up? Maybe that'll be a relevant clue-by-4 to illustrate to you, that you -- have your head up your ass.

Other people do not think like you do.

Go learn something and stop being an arrogant, narcissist shit.

The entire reason we have a philosophy of science and peer-review and the null hypothesis, is this. Reality doesn't conform to your beliefs. If it did, people could wish shit into existence. Wish in one hand and shit in the other. Which fills up first?

Senses are fallible, too. Setup 3 buckets of water with cold, lukewarm, and hot water. Stick your hands in the cold and the hot water. Wait 5-10 minutes. Put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your hands will *NOT* report the same temperature. These people need to learn, not be lied to.

Additionally, the title is misleading. You don't lie to people when you want to express the truth. You tell them the truth. That they reject the truth indicates they lack critical thinking skills. Teach them.

I don't think lying to the gullible is a solution. Indeed, the article supports this: "Philosopher Byron Hyde and author of the study suggests that public trust could be improved not by sugarcoating reality, but by educating people to expect imperfection and understand how science actually works."

How is that proposing lying to the people who lack mental tools? The title is straight up misleading.

Teach them. Engage with them. Some might be incapable, but that does NOT support that they should be lied to. This is terrible reporting.
