With the usual caution that sea-surface temperatures are preliminary for 2 weeks, I give you the global SST for September 8th and a bigger y-axis:

I’ve successfully run the full retained MaleCNS v1.0 fruit fly connectome, all 166,700 neurons, inside Minecraft, with its simulated neural activity driving a fly’s movement.

V1 Currently in development. Built with the help of GPT-6 Astra.

Props to the @OpenAI team and @thsottiaux for this release. Code and mod coming soon!

I was there and there is no song I hate more. If you were a kid in this era you were bombarded with this proto-Karenslop playing every 15 minutes for at least 2 years. This and the related Googoo-Matchbox-core is what led to the rise of Nu Metal and Woodstock 99 as a reaction.

Six weeks before a TWA 727 flew into a Virginia mountain and killed all 92 people on board, a United crew made the exact same mistake on the exact same approach and missed the ridge by a few hundred feet. United wrote it up internally. Nobody outside United ever saw the memo.

The crash was December 1, 1974. The controller said "cleared for the approach." The TWA crew took that as permission to descend to 1,800 feet. The controller assumed they knew to stay high until the published approach began. Pilots and controllers across the country were using the same words to mean different things, and the plane hit Mount Weather at 1,670 feet.

When the NTSB found the United near miss sitting in a company file, the question wrote itself. Why did the second crew have to die to learn what the first crew already knew?

Incentives. A pilot who admitted a mistake to the FAA was handing the regulator evidence against his own license. So nobody admitted anything. Every airline kept its own quiet incident folder, and none of them talked to each other.

The fix, launched in April 1976, is the strangest institution in American transportation. The FAA handed the confession box to NASA, a completely different agency, because pilots would never trust the cop. File a report within 10 days of screwing up and the FAA cannot use it against you. No fine, no suspension. NASA strips your name before anyone at the FAA reads a word.

Fifty years in, the system has taken more than 2 million reports and never leaked a single identity. Close to 100,000 arrive every year. Wrong altitudes, missed clearances, two planes nearly sharing a runway, fatigue nobody wants on their record. NASA reads all of it, spots the patterns, and pushes alerts back out to every carrier before the pattern kills anyone.

That is the machine behind the chart. 6,581 deaths per billion passengers in 1970. 42 in 2023. At the 1970 rate, 2023's passengers would have produced around 29,000 funerals. The actual number was under 200.

Every industry says it wants people to report their mistakes. Aviation is the one that made confessing cheaper than hiding.

👉🏽 Tienen su propia palabra para morir por trabajar demasiado: “Karoshi”.

👉🏽 Tienen una de las peores brechas salariales entre países desarrollados.

👉🏽 Crisis de acoso sexual en la calle y transporte público, tanto que hay nombres para los tipos de pervertidos.

👉🏽 Condiciones de vida tan difíciles que las mujeres no quieren tener hijos, por más que los pronatalistas quieran forzarlas.

👉🏽 Crisis de soledad tan grave que también tienen un término para eso, hikokimori. Personas que se aíslan por meses en apartamentos diminutos.

Idealizar a Japón políticamente es muy fácil si no estás dentro viviendo las consecuencias de una sociedad profundamente machista que prioriza la productividad sobre el bienestar.

Cosas típicas de empresa grande.

Reunión de Teams a las 15:00.

Hora de conexión:

Empleado joven:

“14:59:50”

Jefe competente que va hasta arriba:

“Perdón, se me ha alargado la reunión anterior. Entro en 2 minutos.”

Veterano que ya no tiene nada que demostrar:

@blackroomsec The systems that work are based on [classical] ML and not “AI” LLMs. People are fooled by LLM because it can write like a human and people anthropomorphize it as being equally intelligent when it is not.

No entiendo pq las empresas siguen usando SharePoint de Microsoft si es el peor puto sistema de ficheros jamás inventado

Absolutamente nada de esa mierda funciona bien, ni la UI, ni el manejo de enlaces, los permisos, nada csm, muerte a Microsoft

Como psiquiatra, te advierto algo:

No intentes entender a un psicopata desde tu lógica, moral o empatía.

Si no eres un psicopata, siempre te quedarás corto. Son seres con un cerebro que funciona totalmente diferente, propensos a la maldad, la mentira y falta de empatía 🧵

Momento histórico de la televisión española enmarcado dentro de unas navidades inolvidables para muchos de los que fuimos niños en los años 80.
Martes y 13 nos presentaban un videoclip que hoy en día es leyenda: THRILLER de Michael Jackson.
