When Captain Dubois remarked ten degrees of pitch, he was observing a correct instrument indication. But it didn’t tell him that the airplane was obeying the laws of aerodynamics, not the intuitive expectation that nose up means climbing. The plane shattered intact on the midnight-black granite of the Atlantic pointing up towards the sky.

17 years ago on June 1, 2009 flight AF447 disappeared off the coast of Brazil. This anniversary a week after the announcement of the conviction on appeal of Air France and Airbus. Having worked a lot on a personal basis on this tragedy, it is quite incomprehensible that the European Aeronautical Regulator (EASA) is not also among the defendants.

Will post an updated personal analysis later on Mastodon

Episode 24 of our technology podcast @RuntimeArguments (http://RuntimeArguments.fm). This episode is called "Bayes' Rule - The Formula For Learning Everything".

This is one of Wolf's @YesJustWolf favorite things to talk about and might be the most important thing you've never heard of. Jim's @jammcq heard about it so often he's starting to be numb, but in this episode Wolf's goal was to put Bayes into Jim's brain the same way that Vim is in Jim's fingers!

As always, we want to know what you think:
