Don’t worry, you can upgrade to Duolingo Max for even more money and have the AI explain it. (Seriously.)

I threw it on an old PC a few weeks ago and am pleasantly surprised at how polished it is.

Other than the takeoff and landing, cars have to deal with those obstacles as well.

A computer running a citywide automated traffic system for cars would have all the same complexity, without the ability to separate traffic in three dimensions.

There are a whole lot less obstacles and unknowns in the air, as well as more planes (ha!) of separation available than a car.

When flying, you don’t really need to worry much about random pedestrians, for example.

If the entire system were completely automated, from the car all the way to ATC, and it’s essentially a taxi that you just tell what location to go to and it handles the rest… well that’s basically air traffic today minus the automated ATC part. (That isn’t to diminish pilots at all; just that I think it’d be a lot easier, in general, to replace a pilot than a taxi driver with automation. They’re both still extremely challenging problems.)

Maybe with a little bit of lettuce and tomato? When the mutton is so juicy…

I haven’t read them yet, but there are two more books after the original trilogy. This is the fifth book. I think the fourth was the President Snow prequel which also had a movie.

There’s a John Cena joke there somewhere.

James Vowles will fucking cut you.

I’m all aboard the Williams hype train and it feels great.
