The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Brian Yutko no published score: only 1 usable exchange on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Um, Brian, what is the version of Phoenix for eVTOL? Is there a city somewhere that has said, we want this now come and help us figure this out?

A Yeah. Houston. Houston is, is where we're working most specifically. Um, and it's not just because Woody lives there either. Um, but, but seriously Houston is, um, you know, the, the airport network in Houston is actually quite good connecting a couple of the airports around, uh, the Houston area. It turns out that operating at airports initially is actually quite a good place to start because like I said, you know, these aircraft, they come with a footprint, you know, they really come with like people and operations and If you've ever seen an airport tarmac area, um, it's, you can't just drop that in the middle of a city on day one. So starting at airports as an initial operating area is quite good. Um, it turns out, you know, what you saw in that video was from an airspace integration standpoint and where you're going on routes and so on, um, New Zealand is, has been incredibly forward thinking in terms of how to evolve their airspace network so that they have more, Um, digital communications, more of an ability to integrate uncrewed aircraft with crude aircraft in the same airspace, and so we've been doing quite a lot of work in New Zealand on that front.
