oh that makes so much sense thank you!

A few years ago I was hiking in the middle of fucking nowhere, Utah, just enjoying the red rocks and seclusion, when an F18 rocketed directly above the slot canyon I was meandering through, banking hard to follow the general direction of the canyon and utterly frying my tympanic membranes for the next few tens of minutes.

I'm sure the military hardware fetishists would say I missed an opportunity for some kind of iconic photo of a fighter jet zooming through a frame of sandstone but all I could think about was how hard my ears were ringing and how disruptive that bullshit must be to literally all hearing wildlife.

I was maybe 100 feet below the top of the canyon and the jet couldn't have been more than 500 feet above that.

This is all to say that if commercial aviation starts getting loud in places where I try to enjoy the nature I too will likely lose it

The question then becomes how much people are prepared to pay for 50% shorter flights, and how much the cost of supersonic flight has been reduced by improved technology.

My main questions center on how much extra fuel is required to provide all that additional energy? Idk enough about fluid mechanics to answer this on my own: how much more energy does it take to accelerate from mach 1.1 to mach 1.2 vs mach 0.9 to mach 1.1?

Hope you all feel better soon and thanks for posting a reminder to wear a mask!

Has covid been ruled out as a primary/complicating factor in any of the cases you're describing?

That would probably get you pulled over, but if you knew a thing or two about the vision models the cars are running, you could probably get a mostly-innocuous-looking (to a human) image to trigger all sorts of weird detections by the model

for example, but with a tweak in the attack's objective function and printed on a decal to be applied to the rear window

I would think this kind of potentially adversarial example wouldn't be particularly dangerous as compared to say, a stop sign hanging in the middle of a rear window or a speed limit sign suspended slightly above the back of another vehicle, so frankly, shadows cast on speed limit signs that make 3s look like 8s are a lot scarier (and more widespread) imo... not that this helps lol

Welcome back!

i used to love burritos but after making them about 50 thousand times i am no longer a fan 😔🥲.

As someone on maybe the 9000th burrito of their personal burrito journey, how can I avoid this without abstaining from burrito?
