  • The plane was on or just about on the runway by the time they cleared the truck. The runway wouldn’t have appeared clear because of the plane. The transponder may have helped atc visualize the conflict and definitely could have enabled automated alerts, but not because the runway otherwise appeared clear.

    Edit alright I actually read the article. So the plane was cleared to land 2 minutes before the truck was cleared to cross and the truck entered the runway just about the same time as the touch down of the flight. I still don’t think the transponder would have made ATC operate differently on their own (because tower cleared them to land well before and ground cleared truck 1 to cross after the plane was over the runway threshold basically), but automated alerts could have still caught this. I guess the truck having a transponder could have alerted tower to call a go around, but idk if they would have noticed that.






  • I’ve been skeptical of ai, we’re getting it pushed on us at work constantly, but with the latest iterations, I’ve seen what I feel is an inflection point in terms of producing good results and understanding more context than I ever provided it with and than I ever would have expected.

    With access to the expensive models, you get something that produces good reliable results for the most part. I don’t know how I’ll continue a career in this field at this point.
