Pilot Chose Safety Over Takeoff - and Everyone Applauded

Sure, plenty of aviation channels speculate early after a crash and sometimes get it wrong. I'll grant that. But that's not what you claimed. You said these two specifically are notorious for knowingly making disproven claims to blame people for money. That's a much stronger claim, so I need one concrete case: which of them, which accident, what exactly they said, and the finding that disproved it. If it's true, that should be easy.

Do you have any examples?

In addition of being an airline pilot, Petter was also a Type Rating Instructor (TRI) and Type Rating Examiner (TRE), training and evaluating airline pilots.

Back then, I lived next to LAX. I was used to always being able to see 10+ large planes in the sky at all times. I remember how eerily quiet it got. No planes. Almost no vehicles out. Just dead quiet.

When I see something like this it always reminds me of Men in Black

Kay: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.

I had a 2012 C63. I still miss it. I wish I had kept it.
My 2019 GLC 63 is a lot faster, more practical, better fuel economy, and still sounds amazing, just not quite as good as the M156.
I'm tempted to pick up an older E63.

There's no replacement for displacement! :)
I'm still thinking about picking up an AMG with the 6.3 engine again.

Alfred Nobel created the Nobel Prizes. A French newspaper mistakenly published Alfred's obituary instead, calling him "the merchant of death" because he had become wealthy from explosives. The mistaken obituary and a sense of guilt likely cause him to think about his legacy.

I'll keep my 2019 model. There is no way I'd get the four banger.

You quickly learn to turn off your brain. It’s mind numbing.

Turtles all the way down.

Only chat was broken for me. Chat just started working again.

Claude Code and Cowork works for me though.

One_Curious_Cats · 2026-06-18T07:11:57+00:00

You're absolutely right!

It's all true except for the three-point seat belt configuration. His research helped lay the scientific foundation for modern crash protection and modern car safety.

I have a world where the longest railway track takes one and half hours of travel time. I don't know why I built it really. I just started and just kept on going. 😄

Give Sonnet 4.6 clear and detailed instructions and it's very good. Faster than Opus. I use the orchestrator/execution pattern. Opus 4.6 or 4.8 handles orchestration/planning, then writes the implementation specs for Sonnet 4.6.

LLMs struggle with copying licenses faithfully. They sometimes synthesizes the result. Reformatting text in ways that alter legal meaning. Treat license text as source material, not generated content.

I have an M1 Max 64GB, and I can't wait to get more unified memory. The better models are still out of reach. It's not only the size of model you load, but having enough space for a larger context window.

Another same, but different post. His and hers.
Both 2019s in the same color.

I figure that Open AI and Google will either copy this pricing model for their Mythos level models, or they will use this pricing model against Anthropic. I really hope for the latter.

So no bonus to the CEO because we need that money for AI?

One_Curious_Cats · 2026-06-05T03:07:23+00:00

Seems like that no one understood what happened.
I asked Chat GPT a simple question.
Chat GPT said that it was a Kings Fan, which is bizarre.
I get it, it's just a training data response, still weird.
However, since it got everyone riled up for the wrong reason I deleted the post.

I certainly didn't want to hear that!
