“That system, although it has undergone radical changes, is still similar in several key ways. So similar, in fact, that in 2017 the Boeing 737 MAX 8 could be produced with an egregious design flaw, kept hidden from the FAA, which resulted in two preventable crashes at unready airlines in developing countries, killing (coincidentally) 346 people. And so, while it is true that flying today is much safer than it was in 1974 — passengers today need not worry about their planes crashing because of badly designed doors — the same basic factors that led to the DC-10 cargo door saga still exist and still cause accidents.“
Kyra might have to sadly walk even the caveat on this one back after yesterday’s incident on Alaska Airlines flight 1282 (another 737 MAX), which had an in-flight decompression emergency in which a body panel blew out due to some defect related to an unused doorframe obscured behind the paneling in that section. Thankfully it didn’t crash, but if the panel had hit some control surface on its way off of the plane, it might have been a much less happy story.
DJI is pretty great with telemetry, logs are stored locally and on the cloud with many ways to access your data. Not so great with privacy due to governments having a tight watch on drone flight, making it very likely your flight data is monitored.
This is completely legal in the US on both recreational and commercial licenses, so long as you have visual line of sight to the drone and the ability to regain direct command of the drone via RC (and are following all other flight rules). It is commonly used for video work, such as programmed aerial timelapses.
“I first came up with a prototypical free energy principle when I was eight years old, in what I have previously called a “Gerald Durrell” moment (Friston, 2012). I was in the garden, during a gloriously hot 1960s British summer, preoccupied with the antics of some woodlice (small armadillo like bugs—see Figure 1) who were frantically scurrying around trying to find some shade.
After half an hour of observation and innocent (childlike) contemplation, I realized their “scurrying” had no purpose or intent: they were simply moving faster in the sun—and slower in the shade. The simplicity of this explanation—for what one could artfully call biotic self-organization—appealed to me then and appeals to me now. It is exactly the same principle that underwrites the ensemble density dynamics of the free energy principle—and all its corollaries.”
I wonder if the simplicity of his proposed wood lice model applies to the jumping bean larvae as well?
This is still a partial knowledge situation - you have the information that there are a certain proportion of colored balls in the chamber, but not the information about their order. The probability includes the information we do know and allows inferences about information we don’t know.
To be fair, if I were her I wouldn’t want to be there either. Two governments breathing down my back, my career on the line? Even if I wasn’t only allowed to preside this case because I had the right sympathies - how many other things in my life will I sacrifice for one moment of integrity?
It took me a long time to really believe quotes like that. It’s just not too convincing when the people quoted as saying “you don’t need to be extraordinary” are quotable because they’re extraordinary.
