I am going out on a limb here but Google makes this easy enough to verify.

Waxing anecdotal from a randos unverified, admittedly fuzzy memory is a pretty banal application of my agency. “People aren’t sharing info correctly! Allow me to fix this while admitting to a fuzzy understanding myself!”

Imagine what could be done if we curved that emotional sense to think and know into agency towards learning it and not bloviating online, bending readers mood to our position, disregarding literal effort at verification.

Add in behind the back character assassination of the author, and yeah really buying into your expertise. At least I’m being dismissive to your face.

A lot of people on HN are at work at these hours, and don't have the time to do the full research.

You don't know that he didn't do a quick search and nothing came up.

  • I don’t literally know that but I do literally know how to read.

    “I’m going out on a limb here but I seem to remember...“

    Offers no sources. Just rambling on a limb.

    Throw in behind the back claims of fear mongering by the author, I know the type. Do they know that’s the author’s motivation? Note how rhetorically circular emotional positioning gets.

    Thanks for assuming all of us aren’t paying attention and couldn’t possibly possess a legit view if you don’t.

    Having achieved grad degrees in math, joined into debates of reality and consciousness at length with experts, and generally just existed in human culture for 40 years, I have a pretty good emotional sense of when an argument is just ego fluffing nonsense.

    I am a recursive axiomatic system too and can pick from numerous conscious positions to build on. None of them have to be the one you’d start from. Or vetted in reality, since we’ll take rambling on limbs as enough to get into a debate about.

    Which is my point ultimately, social media is just low effort social normalization to inaction. Let’s upvote this anecdote and not bother further.

    If the effort isn’t going to be there to take it seriously, why bother with social media discourse and all the mechanical effort to babysit it? What a waste of time and precious resources to prop up millions of digital tribal spaces for low effort thought work.

    Tech nerds build the most useless spaces for themselves to wank in.

    • I'm not sure presicely what you are ranting against. I mean it doesn't seem unlikely that an aircraft has a strict maintenance schedule right? You haven't even suggested that you don't think this is the case. You certainly haven't provided any sources suggesting that it isn't the case.

      This isn't Wikipedia. We don't demand citations for every comment. From memory this isn't the first time an aircraft has suffered from similar issues where it needs to be restarted. It generally doesn't matter because they have to have their internal databases updated with changes to navaids, radio frequencies, airport closures etc.

      Here is an example from a completely different aircraft from a different manufacturer:
