It happens to be that another pilot from a plane waiting to take off form the very same runway was filming the approach [1].

Purely by chance we have HD footage. It does make a huge difference and I agree with the sentiment that this would make flying safer.

Well... we have door-shaped footage that might be HD vertically, because he had his camera turned the wrong way.

That's the first clear footage that I've seen (i.e. from an angle not obscured by smoke). To me it looks like the plane touched down with a slight tilt to the right, then the rear landing gear buckled (possibly -- those might be snow dunes obscuring the actual position of the runway) causing the right wing to hit the ground and break off. Then the plane continued to slide on its side for a second before tipping upside down.

Others are saying the plane hit the ground quite hard, I have no frame of reference to judge that.

Thanks, but I'm looking for the specification of this behaviour.


I've always wanted to Billy Joel to re-release his "We Didn't Start The Fire" but with updated events. Well, here it is: https://suno.com/song/b8b33785-271f-48f2-9934-26dabb8e20ed

Not sure how I've missed it! Now, I just wish to live long enough to hear the 3rd iteration. Hearing how much shit has happened over the years is so soothing, yet world just keeps on spinning


The Lagos video (https://openai.com/sora?video=lagos) is very much how my dreams unfold. One moment, I'm with my friends in a bustling marketplace, then suddenly we are no longer at the marketplace, but rather overlooking a sunset and a highway. I wonder if there are some conceptual similarities how dreams and AI video models work.


Yeah that one has more surreal elements every time you watch it: the people at the table are giants compared to everyone else, someone is headless, the kid's hand warps around like crazy.


Last winter, I visited Rome for the first time. I walked past this a couple of times. Everything was fenced, and as I continued my journey I just thought of it how inconvenient it is to walk around it. Unbeknownst to me, I was passing a place where Julius Caesar was killed. That pretty much sums up Rome - it is so enriched in history that you unwillingly become ignorant while exploring it.


The first time I went to Rome in 2001 and was near zero fencing. I remember walking the entire forum unencumbered. BUT, when I went back in 2012 & I couldn't walk any of it. I guess that's the price we pay to ensure it's preserved.

Full-stack developer who can design, 8 YOE managing engineering teams as a CTO. Very hands-on, fluent in working across the stack. Started interviewing in mid-March after a career break. I’m open to programming-focused roles as well.


I’m also curious what’s a good way finding projects for generalists. My contracting experience was that I ended up doing specialized work even though I would able to complete the project from start to finish.


Startups! They love generalists.


The downside of a startup is that they don't have as much money to pay you, and as a contractor you don't get equity.

(On the upside, you don't get equity, and for most startups the money they pay you will be worth more than any equity ever will be.)


They don't have money at first. The ones who hit product-market fit and then want to scale quickly used to be a gold mine for good generalists though.

A few startups are run by veterans of several previous adventures who can spot when the real game is about to kick off and it's time to ramp up hiring. But almost no-one without that prior experience can hire a bigger permanent team as fast as they want to during that period of rapid growth.

Also these companies often have relatively inexperienced teams as they start to scale just because of the earlier budget limitations. They benefit from having some more experienced hands on deck for a while to stop them making dumb mistakes and help them train up their early hires who stick around and suddenly find themselves operating a level or two up the ladder as the head count grows.


Sedition Art | CTO | Full-time | Remote or Onsite | London

Hi HN! After 10 years at Sedition I'm moving on to some other ventures and looking for a replacement for my role. It's a great job at a small company that has been selling digital limited editions by World renowned artists since 2010. With advent of NFTs the digital ownership is becoming a new norm and Sedition can be at the very centre of this. It's all in your hands.

As a CTO you will work closely with CEO and lead the technical evolution of the product. We are 6 technical people so the role does not involve much management work but rather planning and hands on coding.

We expect the CTO to be a technical generalist with previous experience in a similar role.

Depends on the luxury level. At the very top the customer base consists of the most recession-proof people in the World. I assume they just carry on with their habits recession or not.


If governments are censoring our internet we need to change the way we're being geolocated. VPN is too much configuration and centralisation. TOR is over the top privacy. I want something as accessible as turning the flight mode on my mobile. The button can be placed next to flight mode and called CENSORSHIP. You can turn it on. It will then reveal your true IP address and make the internet very fast. However it's off by default. The internet is a bit slower. But your requests are being cleverly routed through random IPs that are not censored. These random IPs are provided by organisations but most importantly by peer users of the feature who happen to live in free countries. Sort of SETI@home but the goal is to increase intraterrestrial intelligence.


> TOR is over the top privacy

And yet what you described is... Tor, almost exactly.


Having IP addresses whose most significant bits can roughly map to a location (because IP "blocks" are allocated to distinct ISPs that are in known locations) was a big mistake. It would be much harder, but not impossible, to graft geopolitical borders to the internet if every public address that a computer got was random.


I think Apple is roughly trying that with their VPN service? I'm not sure; I never used it since I'm not a full 100% Apple device person, and if I'm going to pay for a VPN I want to be able to use it on all my devices.


None of this matters when people don't believe other people.
