There's been a dramatic increase in sloppy kinda-working something.vercel.com output in niche circles. I think that shows at least a weak demand for certain types of software, but …

That would be somewhat interesting, but it's tempered by relationship: the fine article mentions only that the demographics are "affiliated" with Moody. This could range from vendo…

I couldn't agree more. It makes it difficult to attach my reputation to when making suggestions for hardware purchases.

Counterpoint: 54% of adults read below a sixth-grade level because a society has been created to facilitate (and encourage) just that. Encouraging a population to rely on the thoug…

Unfortunately for this perspective, one side of the equation very much plans their lives around this mutual arrangement. When the other party experiments with the arrangement witho…

Not only do they not need to, they need to actively stop doing that. These are the folks who light brakes & tires on fire, which then spreads to the mountains. There are dozens of …

To do that you have to first recognize that current city designs are 100% for car manufacturers, not people. To take away the olds licenses is to restrict them in their homes, like…

Yeah, my dad has one. It's terrifying. Even for him. These are commercial vehicles with a residential façade, but they are not maintained like commercial vehicles. If they weren't …

Well, I mean, Phoenix PD was under federal investigation for years. Maricopa was found to be violating civil rights for years, Sheriff Arpaio was famous on HN for years for using p…

From this and your other responses, I think you have a pretty poor understanding of the aviation industry. That's okay— it's a weird sector, currently, because of its high barrier …

I just went through a bunch of reports while I'm on call at work. Yes, pilot error is far and away the biggest official cause (although I've read some reports along the lines of "w…

If you're not directly involved in the maintenance, I am skeptical. For example, many flying clubs only exist because they have members who are A&Ps / IAs, who maintain the plane i…

Well, you'll probably get your wish in the US anyway. I just paid $50 for a 2 inch square vacuum pump cover that should have cost $5. I have oil hoses that I would like to replace,…

Counterintuitively, it's probably the unrealistically high maintenance standards that lead to 1) no available qualified mechanics, and 2) incredibly high prices, resulting in 3) de…

The phrase “what is going on” has become a trope with regard to aviation, signaling a complete drive-by lack of understanding of the industry. It could be a cluster illusion. It co…

I had in mind airfields & strips more than commercial aviation hubs, but regardless: more options would somewhat relieve extremely busy SIDs and STARs. Alas, in densely populated a…

Yeah, I kind of get it too. But at some point, this country was able to get it done, and that has been largely lost. I'd also say that on average, small aircraft are a lot quieter …

It’s a poignant phenomenon that so many airfields used to exist. People now complain endlessly to get long-established fields shut down *, but red tape keeps any new ones from open…

For what it's worth, even this reply reads like LLM output. It's not "quote describing the scenario", it's "some other linked-in-coded plot twist". If you're the average of the peo…

They don't have standing on the deed restriction, and would have to sue for the property devaluation directly. IANAL.

It seems to me the incentive, if anything, is to make the codebase so complex and “write-only” that developers become entirely dependent on LLMs to make any change whatever. They c…
