I did enjoy James Cameron's comment on the culture at OceanGate: "Move fast and break stuff isn't helpful when the stuff has you inside it"

The photographs are clear and quite haunting. Five people in there, or what's left of them anyway.

40 minute excellent summation of the Titan submersible's composite hull composition and failure, and some details and data visualisations of the hull monitoring system. It basically started to come apart several dives before the accident dive.

This is quite a dry account of the ATR upset and subsequent crash. You can see he's totally mystified. Reminds me a bit of AF447, in that everything that can be done wrong is apparently done wrong.

Watched a freight consist being put together at Connellsville PA. Most interesting was the Newton's Cradle effect as this mile long thing went backwards and forwards. You'd hear a wave of loud thuds race up and down the train each time it went backwards and forwards.

This video, and the comments, are a depressing eye-opener on the state of the music biz.

Prof. Emily M. Bender(she/her)

"It is not the case that “AI gathers data from the Web and learns from it.” The reality is that AI companies gather data and then optimize models to reproduce representations of that data for profit."

"The productivity myth suggests that anything we spend time on is up for automation — that any time we spend can and should be freed up for the sake of having even more time for other activities or pursuits — which can also be automated."

Astro Hawk (Ian Kluft) 🚀🛰️

@sullybiker @arstechnica @AirlineReporter Something to watch for as they continue as part of the Crew-9 rotation of space station crew... So far every astronaut who has flown the first crewed flight of a new spacecraft has been inducted to the Astronaut Hall of Fame after completion of their mission. Big feathers in their caps.

It's tempting to shit all over Boeing and NASA over the debacle, but the engineering team worked very hard under intensely political conditions and it did fulfill a fully autonomous return with no real problems. It did not meet NASA's criteria for a crewed return, but all of this is fixable.
