He asked Frontier 4195 to stop. By the time he asked truck 1 to stop they were entering the runway.

You can also see from the videos that they could have easily seen the plane.

He said "Frontier 4195 stop there please". Then "stop stop stop stop truckon" By the time he clearly tells "truck 1" to stop, they're already entering the runway. Sounds like a bit of confusion.

YVR has had flow control every day for years now, and closes the class C to VFR traffic on virtually any sunny day now, due to staffing problems. It's been happening since long before COVID, but that made it much worse. The controllers simply refuse to take on more traffic than they can safely handle.

Lots of pilots here have been complaining for years about how the US controllers are so much better, they can handle much more traffic, etc.

Just to be clear, I'm referring to using AI review instead of human review (not alongside it to find extra issues).

Does AI review of AI generated code even make sense?

Ironically they seem to use ai to review ai generated code, which is the main problem.

Sorry, I didn't realise you weren't the OP. I was really asking the OP as they said they had large productivity gains from using AI to code. But if you're a professional developer, the same question can be answered by you: do you specifically review all AI generated production code?

In my own case 100% of my code is reviewed by humans (generally me), and that IMO is the only sensible option, and has been the standard since I started coding commercially 33 years ago. I don't use AI to generate code though, other than a few experiments, as I don't really need to write much code these days.

Yes, of course. I mean, is all production code reviewed?

New comment by cpncrunch in "Why developers using AI are working longer hours"

cpncrunch — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 01:26:22 +0000

I'm just curious how much of this AI generated code is reviewed by humans at all, and if that is factored into the productivity gains.

Does a person review all the AI generated code?

Yes, it's going to cause a lot of confusion and missed meetings. At the moment everyone says "pacific time", but now that will mean two different things.

I think we'll need to say Vancouver time or California time.

Its either collapse or many worlds.

Here is an earlier article which explains it better:

https://www.quantamagazine.org/quantum-darwinism-an-idea-to-...

I feel that it really just gives an explanation of decoherence, but doesnt offer any testable hypothesis for darwinian pruning and collapse to pointer states.

There is a somewhat easily digestible explanation of the quantum Darwinism theory here:

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1811.09062

However, it still doesn't really address the core question of when the collapse actually occurs. All it really seems to add is that the environment is an "observer" and that decoherence actually causes the collapse.
