@mentallyalex You should try riding in the cockpit sometime. It really brings out the magic of the experience.
Let me know if you ever visit Florida; I'll take you up.
@annmlipton I would be very curious to find out where they got the training data for the deepfake algorithm. Are these folks' names and voices all really that publicly accessible? Or was it an inside job from someone who could capture their own training material?
@mentallyalex @adhdeanasl That is true... when you're a passenger.
@mentallyalex @adhdeanasl Agreed.
Also, for those folks who complain about current gas prices, Aviation Gas is about $8 a gallon at the moment.
#AI, specifically #GithubCopilot, is an incredible tool for upgrading code.
I fixed an architecture problem that resulted in over 700 warnings related to nullability in C#. I was able to clear all of those warnings properly with the help of AI in just a couple hours. Now my code base is far more robust and better at handling errors elegantly.
Shockingly, when you use a glorified pattern-matching algorithm to deal with a pattern-matching problem, you get good results. Who knew?
@Av8rdan Kinda looks like it's reading/writing to an offset memory location...
The obvious troubleshooting step is a simple reboot.
After that, I'd try connecting it to an external monitor to see if it's an issue with the display or the output.
@Daojoan Is it that the algorithm is biased? Or is it that the algorithm gives people what they want and the people are biased?
@rcpierce Agreed. What precautions did they take? Hiding it in the cookie jar?
@SecurityWriter Interesting... The only other product I've heard of that might come close is the Varjo, from Finland. Hoping to try one of those out soon.
@SecurityWriter Interesting. I may have to abandon my skepticism soon.
@SecurityWriter So, is the tech legitimately better than the disappointing Magic Leap or Hololens?
My student did his first solo today.
This makes the 3rd student I have been their CFI for their first solo.

@Daojoan Because it's a tool, not a replacement.
Saying "ChatGPT is a sub average coder" is like saying a "jackhammer is a sub average street worker".
@protecttruth Disagree. Why let despicable people lower the bar for everyone? Reminds me of that old Mark Twain quote: "Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."
Let's stay above their level, shall we?
Estimates by the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption ‘put electricity supporting Bitcoin mining in 2023 at about 0.2% to 0.9% of global demand for electricity. Based on those estimates, global electricity use in cryptocurrency mining was about the same as total electricity consumption in Greece or Australia, respectively.’ https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61364 #environment #economics #globalwarming #climatecrisis
@interfluidity I don't get how the masses have allowed this stock market farce to perpetuate for so long...
"Disney appeals dismissal of free speech lawsuit"
"Disney on Thursday appealed a judge’s dismissal of its free speech lawsuit over what it described as Gov. Ron DeSantis’ retaliatory takeover of Walt Disney World’s governing district"
When you're so rich and famous that foreign embassies give you free advertising 🤦♂️
