It reminds me of this Steve Jobs Clip:

https://youtu.be/0lvMgMrNDlg?si=QkkOnngYTjaSPlIy

He said, so many years ago, that there will become a time where computing power is so prevalent that we will stop using the person to make the computers job easier and start using the computer to make the humans job of interfacing with it easier.

But in this context, it would mean the other side of increase productivity is decreased time to do the same work. These are the same thing.

New comment by iancmceachern in "Italy moves to Airbus A330 tankers"

For private jets, in order of most to least deliveries per year (number per year in parenthesis): Cessna (171) Gulfstream (158) Bombardier (157) Embraer (155) Cirrus (106) Dassult (37) Honda (12)

Which is nothing compared to: 737 (447) 767 (30) 777 (35) 787 (88)

There are really only 2 choices.

There is a third, Embrarer. They have most of the market in small regional jets in some cases, but those are in reality very different than say a 777 or 787.

These two choices are conglomerates of what used to be a much larger set of manufacturers. In short Boeing, Airbus and it's suppliers are basically what is left of all the old big aerospace manufacturers.

There was a waymo just parked for days I noticed recently in SF. 2 or 3 days it was just in the same parking spot (4 hr max) with it's lidar spinning.
