Re:Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-8 Max Experienced Dutch Roll
on Thursday June 13, 2024 @09:32AM (#40669436)
I didn't know what it was called, but I've experienced mild Dutch Roll enough on flights, usually on the approach or landing, that I didn't realize that it was all that rare or dangerous. I had come to think of it as a normal result of wind shear.
I imagine it's a matter of degree, and I wish there was some mention of the magnitude of the Dutch Roll in this case vs what is considered normal or acceptable.
(Edited to qualify my experience as "mild".)

Looks like I'm a little late to the party on this one, but I'd like to recommend my This Week in Machine Learning and AI podcast here: https://twimlai.com
I try to maintain a good mix of topics and viewpoints (industry/application vs researcher), and to keep the conversation technically interesting.
Happy to answer any questions here.

Have you also forgotten about pinboard? Just curious because the story is the same for me, and I've since forgotten about pinboard too. I had the same "oh, that's still around?" reaction during the recent Pinboard/Zapier kerfuffle.

Just ran into this the other day. A popular ride sharing app has a huge security hole wherein if you get a recycled mobile number you can easily gain access to the account details of the previous owner of the number and run up a bill on their credit card.

Coursera/UPenn's Aerial Robotics course (https://www.coursera.org/learn/robotics-flight) and more broadly the robotics sequence.
I'm taking now for a diversion (just started) and expect to learn a bit about quadrotor mechanics, sensors & control systems.

Yes, this seems like the right thing to do upon discovering a new species.

Along the same lines, but worse... If you're signed up for the emails they send out about top news in your network or news mentions of people in your network, and you click through the links in the email, they make you log in. From your phone. To read a news article. Drives me insane.
