Ah, lol.
Is that the web interface? Or what app is that?

Elon getting up mid interview and walking away would be spectacular. That's more damaging than "I don't want to answer that".
Autopilot crashes?
You mean MCAS (Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System)?
It's not autopilot. It's worse than that.
Due to the larger engines needing to be mounted in a different place, the flight characteristics changed between previous gen 737s and the new 737 MAX.
The characteristic change would mean it needs different certification from air authorities and existing 737 pilots would require recertification to be able to fly the new 737 MAX (which is supposed to be just an updated model).
All very expensive for what should be merely an upgraded model.
To avoid this, Boeing used software to change the characteristics in order to bring it inline with previous 737s and the existing certifications.
And as it was just an augmentation system, it was deemed high risk but not critical risk. As such, it didn't require full redundancy, didn't require Quick Reference Handbook entries incase of issues/errors, and didn't require training.
In fact, pilots had no idea it existed, what it could do or how it worked.
Which means when it had an issue and caused extreme pitch down due to faulty sensor readings, the pilots had literally no idea what was happening as they were trying to stop the plane from accumulating pitch down every 5 seconds.
And then Boeing tried to fuck with the narrative. I think they also didn't tell pilots about MCAS until after the Ethiopian Airlines crash (the 2nd caused by MCAS), but I'm not 100% sure on the timeline.
Boeing has had a stream of QA issues, the way MCAS was handled was idiotic, they are a shitty company.
But I have no issues flying in a Boeing.
I don't like or trust the company, but I trust the air authorities. And most of all, I trust the pilots.
Yup.
But in open source it CAN be noticed, by anyone determined enough to dig into its side effects.
Proprietary software? You file a regression bug that startup takes 500ms longer, and it might get looked at.
Also, backdoors that are discovered in open source software improve automated software auditing.

I think that's the link to the video?
Seems like it's part of a longer video...
Edit:
Hhmmm here is a slightly longer video that doesn't really add anything
Actual edit:
I genuinely couldn't find a better source video
“The United States has unilaterally and repeatedly provoked new economic and trade frictions, exacerbating uncertainty and instability in bilateral economic and trade relations,” the statement said. “Instead of reflecting on its own actions, the United States has groundlessly accused China of violating the consensus, a claim that grossly distorts the facts.”
That is such a wonderfully diplomatic way of saying "stop being a fucking idiot, your words have meaning and these are the consequences. Grow up".
Even just "grow up", tbh.
As much as I dislike the amount of reliance the world has on China (for the labour conditions there, the nature of their government to impose dodgy practices, generally speaking not being a "good egg"), China seems like the only trading bloc (although not a bloc, I guess... Maybe "trading entity") that can unilaterally stand toe-to-toe with TACO and win. So, good on china.
Yeh. Unpaid internship instead of an apprenticeship.
But an apprenticeship doesn't require a university degree to qualify for
Having been through university, I have no idea how I could "level up faster" without more years.
And I say that as someone that has carved out a career doing something as the (AFAIK) only person (well, freelancer at least) doing what I do in my country.
Maybe AI disrupts universities? Or AI disrupts skills?
Like AirBnB disrupted hotels, then enshitified to make airbnbs require more manual labour to stay at and cost more than a fucking standard hotel room.

Meh, not my money
Edit: wrong comment
If everyone is replacing low level jobs with AI in order to pump next quarters numbers, they are gonna be fucked in 5-10 years when there is a skilled labour shortage - those very skills learned and developed while doing the lower level jobs.
This is a gargantuan gamble on AI being able to progressively replace more an more complicated jobs, and stay in line with this curve as the skill ages out of the population.
Oh, and nobody will be able to pay for the services provided by these companies because nobody will have money because they can't get jobs because all the low skill jobs are done by AI, and nobody can develop skills because there is no entry to industries/careers via low skilled jobs.
Replacing jobs with AI is so fucking stupid.
Having a once-on-a-lifetime holiday doesn't preclude you from having another holiday on the chance it's another once-in-a-lifetime holiday.
And "opportunity" adds a whole bunch of context. Support was high for independence, a government was in power that was (and still is) popular and progressive, and the UK government agreed to respect the result. That, to me, is what "opportunity" means: the time is right.
If there is another surge of support, another Scottish government is elected on the premise of independence and delivers such a crushing victory as the SNP did, then it's just down to the UK government denying the Scottish Government.
