there's a twitch streamer who plays slay the spire and uploads his runs to youtube that i usually watch when falling asleep. like half his thumbnails reference poo poo in the game that don't even show up in that run :allears:

he's mentioned that he pays someone to run his youtube channel and other things for him. his manager knows how to game the youtube algorithm, so she arranged for a photographer to visit his house and take pics of him making silly faces in front of his streamer greenscreen. apparently that was the entire extent of his contribution to the thumbnails

it tickles me how VERY MISLEADING they are. you aren't getting a weird excited shoutyman at all! just extremely chill stream captures of a man with a soothing voice playing a solitaire card game

escaping from a sinking car involves some un-intuitive things, and even if they had learned what to do at some point it's entirely likely someone would just freak out and panic instead of doing the right things

i'm not getting in the airplane of a private pilot unless they have an instrument rating

sometimes i watch blancolirio videos, if you're not familiar he mostly does stuff about GA accidents

in one he said he personally won't fly his small plane when there's any risk of IMC. he is very much instrument rated and current, as his real job is flying international routes in the boeing 777. he just feels that in GA you don't have the resources (instrumentation, copilots, procedures, ground support, etc) to make IMC safe to the standards he trains to

even instrument rated pilots can get disoriented by an unexpected transition, or having to make the transition while stressed by something else, or just by not being current enough. instrument flying is a perishable skill, you have to practice to maintain it.

the instruments, gps, etc should feed into a copy of flight simulator. then when you can't see, you can just set the flight simulator to "good visibility" and use the game monitor instead of looking out the window.

this really shows how little elon knows even about his own products.

bulletproof glass is not a force field. it did exactly what bulletproof glass is supposed to do: shatter and dissipate the energy without letting the projectile through.

he didn't know this, the guy presenting didn't know this, and they had obviously never even tried it before

embedded avionics? have i got news for you friend, lots of synthetic vision users run it on ipads or iphones

you don't actually need or want realistic graphics like msft flight sim, so even iphone levels of gpu are way beyond requirements. you just want to make terrain and obstacles and runways clearly visible, and to display same from a location and perspective that's a very close approximation to physical reality (so you need good GPS and gyros and so forth)

sane people don't regard an ipad as something to rely on as their primary instrument panel, but i have heard of real life saves because the pilot had an ipad mounted to use as a ForeFlight navigation display and was able to use FF's synthetic vision as a backup when their normal avionics failed

that's pretty cool, i don't know much about that kind of stuff because all of the pilots i know are *checks notes* in yospos lol

i don't doubt that a smartphone would be good enough, it seems to be more powerful than most custom avionics

right. you basically can’t open the doors due to the pressure difference until the car fills with water. the best thing to do is open all the windows, let the water in, and then swim out of the windows. this is terrifying to do even when you’re rational.

it almost certainly would. elon claimed that his weird hosed up robot was running the same software as the cars do and that very memorably tried to walk into a backdrop that had a bunch of repeating concentric circles

i watch AOPA/air safety institute's videos, they do the whole plane crash investigation narration thing but for GA pilots. they also do videos where this guy who used to fly in the air force thunderbirds goes over crashes that have been in the news recently, and he knows a lot about flying air shows so when something happens at an air show he's got some real interesting insights, if you're into that
