In the case of (2), the RAT would have deployed at the (hypothetical) point where both engine RPMs fell below the minimum required to power the critical electrical systems.

The RAT being deployed doesn't support or exclude fuel contamination as a root cause.

Yeah, just shove the worms back into the can.

It walked me through replacing a starter on an old freezer step by step. I know a decent amount, but it was extremely helpful at connecting some of the dots and explaining some of the topics.

Perhaps if it had adequate funding... ?

I noticed that when Formerly-known-as-tweets are embedded on another web site, they put the 'X' logo in the upper right corner now.

scammers gonna scam.

white-space: pre-wrap;

How about this, then: It fills a niche, but it is full of bad decisions (and fragmentation), and survives mainly by its existing momentum. It's crap in the same sense that Unix is crap: the founder effect has made its flaws impossible to dislodge or rethink.

A popular solution to a problem is not necessarily a good solution to that problem.

There's nothing much to doubt. The evidence is always the same: "our web server logs show scrapers originating from IP addresses owned by someone who didn't pay us."

The Verge article is a little clearer. 100,000 threads pilfered over the past year with scraping! Oh no!

(See also: the actual legal filing. I have to admit the headings sound a little unstable.)

Just you wait—they're way more over-represented they are in subreddit moderators... and in the accelerationist movement.

"Actually" read them? Are there a lot of people running around purporting to have read TSR novels, or to have credentials that require doing so?

There are no real downsides to saying the 2026 version is 26 and the 2126 version is 126. It's just [year - 2000]; you can even imagine this is release 026 rather than 26. Personally I'd worry more about what happens in the year 3000 when they have to release version 1000.

Moreover—these are just version numbers, imitative of dates, rather than actual date fields. It's not like someone is going to be charged for unpaid bills because their iOS version number was accidentally parsed as being in the past. Take your damn pills, grandma!

They manage to find ways to be obviously incorrect, even if you don't know the answer.

real examples I hit:

Q: "On what coin does Abraham Lincoln appear"

A: "The coin Abraham Lincoln appears on is the US 50 dollar bill." (a bill is not a coin)

Q: "What is the rule in the game Monopoly when doubles are rolled three times in a row"

A: "[go to jail blah blah] if three doubles are rolled, like two 3s, two 5s and two 9s" (Monopoly uses 6 sided dice)

Q: "On the TV show Bluey, what is Bandit's wife's name"

A: "Bandit's wife is Bluey, and they have a loving relationship." (Bluey is his daughter, a small child.)

And yet you registered on Slashdot. Curious.

That's called Bitcoin.

Problem is, once they start using 'current' data, they'll be cannibalizing the output of other AIs, leading to a spiral of insanity.
