In many countries the police address complaints of illegal streaming from copyright holders reporting individual IP addresses accessing torrents they are sitting on. Why on earth would the UK have a policy that the Police's time could

Some websites did do this. But adding actual text that can be indexed by Ask Jeeves doesn't work with this solution. Macromedia had this crazy system where you could slice your art up in Fireworks, and then ask it to generate the HTML

Surely stock price is directly linked to demand from airlines, and airlines are successful because of customer confidence, convenience, and price. If an airline bails on Boeing because customers refuse to fly Boeing fleets, then damage cont

Is there a reason to isolate this QA culture to just the Max production line? I'm concerned about anything they have produced recently.

I didn't mind flying on a 737 Max once they figured out the MCAS stuff, but now I see it's an institutional problem I don't know if I could accept a ticket on a Boeing aircraft manufactured in the past ~10 years.

Maybe all of those variations are ways to demonstrate mastery, like asymmetry of all the holes might demonstrate a certain skill. I don't have an opinion of the overall hypothesis.

I understand the vulnerability of the slide up thing, but I guess what I didn't explain properly is why doesn't it open by swinging inside instead of upwards? I don't know if I've ever seen a passenger door that slides u

I don't understand why the plug doesn't use pressure as a failsafe. You have high pressure one side, low the other side, and just like normal airline doors the interior pressure makes it impossible to open the door.

Lower 48 has vast deserts, mountain ranges, large national parks. There is loads of inaccessible wilderness in the lower 48, especially when compared to Germany.

All of what you just said is an exact modern version of the same shortcuts. Net difference is probably minimal whether you had a crap book or watched a pile of YT in short order or short cut through someone else's project, or SO. Compr

Aren't most successful engineers already very smart when they start out? Being very smart seems to be a prerequisite for all successful engineers.

Yes, but a textbook has fixed knowledge that cannot be queried and discussed. That's why you need the doctor to interpret and apply. An LLM is the doctor in your pocket. It's yours to use, and whether it is in your head (like a do

Whether the doctor's data for making informed decisions is in their head, or in the computer at their desk is immaterial. Where you fetch your knowledge from, either from wet-ware, or hardware doesn't have any net difference in th

The doctor is the LLM, lol. I don't think we can/should do this on today's LLMs, but if we continue advancing in the same way, and as-good-as-human reliability is achieved, the intelligence of a doctor is in your pocket whene

The article literally said "the most talented". The top talent artists are certainly making art, and it is a fact they are driven to do it more than anything else. That's the attitude that makes them "the most talented&q

Let's wind this back to the days when people thought reading books was an indulgent waste of time. The best artists are writing trivial drivel for women to read. The best minds are finding new ways to sell books. It's a stupid heu

If they are doing advertising then they are art directors, not artists. The most talented artists make art, it's not something they have a choice in. They will suffer poverty to make their art. Talent isn't in the execution in art
