It's a tough listen and I don't begrudge your regret listening to it, however I think the pilot did a remarkable job of communication information about speed and bank angle right to the end which will indeed help this investigation and hopefully prevent future incidents.

Sid Meier's Pirates on the iPad was a great experience. Bummer it isn't supported in modern iOS.

You're both right, depending on whether you mean relative pin vs absolute pin.

I don't think it is necessarily controversial, but I subscribe to the opposite view. I try to judge a thing by whether or not it is good, not by its provenance.

For example, if I read a book which I thought was written by a human and loved it, why should my opinion change if I learned after the fact that it was written by AI and not a human? I can't un-laugh those laughs, and un-enjoy the enjoyment I received from it, you know what I mean?

Could one make a similar argument for banning sugar?

The Shahed drone is a 'set it and forget it' device where you program a stationary target and launch it. It would not work well for moving targets, like ships.

Very cool thing of you to do.

What you did there, I see it. :)

I wonder how these macro trends will shake out as more and more Americans start using GLP-1 meds.

The story you’re recalling is “Just Deserts,” a short story by M. T. Anderson. It appears in The Chronicles of Harris Burdick (2011), an anthology edited by Chris Van Allsburg where various authors wrote tales to match Van Allsburg’s mysterious illustrations. In “Just Deserts,” a lone child is raised in a simulated town after an apocalyptic event (implied nuclear war). He attends “school” and interacts with other children via screens, only to discover – in a scene involving a hollow pumpkin – that his parents and classmates are all artificial constructs created to keep him company. This twist reveals he is the last real child on Earth. The story was first published in The Chronicles of Harris Burdick (Houghton Mifflin, 2011).
