Redefining Drone Control with Thrust Vectoring?
Mathieu Bresciani’s thrust vectoring drone highlights the potential of the technology in drones. Powered by @PX4Autopilot, this single-ducted fan design demonstrates impressive control and maneuverability.
Thrust vectoring’s emergence in UAV technology could offer improved stability and agility for ... See more
I’d be surprised if, in a decade, “designer” and “engineer” roles are as common as they are today
With widespread AI use, it’s more likely the relevant specializations would re-organize around business concerns (like sales/marketing vs R&D vs operations), rather than around tooling differences (like Figma vs IDE vs cloud console)

When the first steam engines were introduced, the owners had a really hard time finding people to operate them who wouldn't get drunk in the middle of the day, fuck up, and wreck the machine.
Technological change is only possible with societal (behavioral) change
To use databases, you need to be able to think about your data in a structured way. The people who could do that gained most of the leverage from using databases. The folks who made it easy for people to transition to databases (ERPs and Co) captured the rest.
AI systems are fundamentally scalable decision making engines. And data is the oil required to power it. If you want to properly leverage AI, you need to make sure you're fueling it with the best refined data.
Otherwise, you're no different than the drunk trying to reliably operate complex machinery. The only repeatable part of that is injury.
I sense nobody wants to talk about maybe the most successful US industrial policy in history: the auto bailout of 2008.

Amazing visualization of every space launch in history by @Peterincan, guiding the simple realization that we are in the second Golden Age of space. https://t.co/o8oYGJRu46
humanity is still adapting to the fact that ordinary people have broadcasting capability. cultural norms around this are still being negotiated in real time. it’s actually imo more disruptive than promethean fire; you can’t use fire to burn people on the other side of the planet
the fastest path to being perceived as a “genius” (commonplace hyperbole) is to read books that your peers aren’t reading. this will not be a universal perception, but it’s nonetheless a very strong effect that’s amusingly underutilized
Similarly, when everyone is saying the same things, simply asking why becomes revolutionary.
