EconomistDiary.com - how fake is your education system?. For 75 years now we have been mediaing how millennials' lives depend on tech transforming education. So every engineer who designs fake media is also destroying trust building opportunities between teachers, students and families.
Back in mid 20th c, 100 years of analysis showed that economists had failed to understand exponential acceleration due to engineers. 2025 -35 is most exciting decade of engineering innovation ever. It seems a dnagerous time to be priotising composition of parts of products by nationalityAIQtest 2/5- a new boeing airplane connects more than 100000 parts including way over 5000 parts made outside of America -parts need testing individually and combinatorially- the least safe thing you could do is to rush to take out a part because its not American. Here's part of a conversation with perplexity:
You are correct: it's not safe or advisable to change an aircraft part solely because it's imported. Every component used in airplane manufacturing—regardless of where it is made—must meet rigorous safety and certification standards set by aviation authorities like the FAA and EASA.
Key points:
Certification and integration: Each part must be tested, certified, and proven to be compatible with other aircraft systems. Airplane systems are highly integrated, so changing one component could affect many others and compromise safety or performance.
Long timelines: Changing a critical part (whether imported or domestic) often requires years of engineering review, extensive testing, re-certification, supply chain adjustments, and regulatory approval.
Safety first: Aircraft manufacturers and regulatory agencies prioritize safety above all else. Any proposed change to a certified part undergoes a detailed assessment to ensure it will not introduce new risks or affect interconnected systems.
In summary, the origin of a part (imported or not) is far less significant than its certification, proven reliability, and integration into the overall aircraft system. Changes are never made lightly or quickly—especially for parts that connect with or affect other systems.
Its also work asking how do 100000 part supply chains come together. Much arises from startups -brilliant ay just one part. Startups cant afford lack of predictability which comes from years like 2025 where so far every month has altered tarif orders. However what alarms us most is that while a big company like boeing will know not be pressured into quick change of any of its parts, lesser experienced companies may try and keep up with tarif signals. We wonder what disastrous failures will coming years see.
Incidentally it would me a mistake to think something smaller like an ipad doesnt have thousands of parts too An iPad almost certainly consists of more than 5,000 individual parts, especially when considering all the internal hardware components, microelectronic elements, and fasteners. While Apple’s official specifications list only major assemblies (like the screen, battery, chip, and external buttons), iPads—like most modern electronics—contain thousands of smaller components such as microchips, resistors, capacitors, connectors, screws, sensors, adhesives, and integrated circuits.
Modern smartphones, which are generally smaller and less complex than iPads, are estimated by teardown experts to contain between 1,000 and 3,000+ parts.
Tablets like the iPad contain many additional components due to their larger batteries, bigger displays, more advanced logic boards, and multiple cameras and sensors.
Individual chips alone can contain millions (or even billions) of tiny transistors and microscopic parts, further adding to the parts count at a granular level12.
and instrumentation analysis through ipads often involves calculations on whose accuracy lives depend.
