Are these systems fully autonomous, semi-autonomous, or teleoperated? Full autonomy would be unheard of and a true revolution. Tele-operation, well, better relay tech to reliably get down to the ground.

Also, goodness gracious, terrible comms discipline from that guy. Way to add more oxygen to the story as well as make yourself seem whiny and immature.

Can we talk about what's going on with these people's cheeks?

It also reports that 1.2 sucks shit as well. "Problems that users reported with the 1.0 and 1.1 versions were not adequately addressed in 1.2"

Acoustic detection of small gas engines from drones. Taking the vehicles off the roads reduces false positives.

Legged locomotion is hilariously not "licked". It's energy inefficient, massively more costly than the alternative, and criminally unsafe.

But have you considered that if we just shove enough YouTube videos into the ML pipeline it will start magically working and we'll have infinite money?

I don't think the US has good fiber controlled fpv defenses for anyone. The fact this hasn't happened yet is some stupendous luck.

5 weeks if you bring the briefcases of cash and the shop owner has blackmail on all their operators and CAM folks. 3 weeks at an average Shenzhen area Chinese shop. (It's outrageous the speed and quality of modern Chinese shops)

What going to nail that dipshit is the thin walls, square bottom pockets, need for a large 5 axis machine, and pretty extreme jigging if some of those cuts are bearing tolerances. 5week minimum turn time from a very capable US shop.

"hardened" is not really all that hard here. 7075 cuts just as easy (if not easier as it's more stiff) than 6061. Carbide wear is going to be minimal over any other aluminum alloy.

Isn't the core issue here one of scaling? We'd be out of BGM-109/JASSM/JASSM-ER almost immediately in any sustained conflict and the replacement rates are Not Great.

Softbank is taking its cash from Nvidia sale and putting it into OpenAI, so the rule holds.

I know this is all very serious and useful as a practical matter but "turd terminal velocity" is a hilarious thing for NIST to intensively study.

Jesus as historical figure ("nope not coming back") vs Jesus as a deity to believe in ("son of god"). Seems like an orthogonal axis of answers.

Hypothetical limit for all weapons sold to single action, non-semi-auto with required minimum force or travel distance to re chamber a round. (FRTs etc prove that trigger pull quanta is nonsense method of measurement)

Does this provide basis for legal argument that if no individually articulated antisemitism, no grounds for violation of national interest?

A not insignificant amount of the fires caused on the frontlines in Ukraine are from pinwheeling 18650 cells post drone munition detonation.

If another senior official had the same kind of coercive personal business exposure to, and long personal history with, a stated US adversary, I think some public opprobrium and concern would be warranted.

Lasers are not magic and a sufficiently powerful enough one to rapidly burn through carbon fiber will get swarmed and taken out. (Not to mention being godawful expensive for a piece of Frontline kit) Cheap shotgun turrets with acoustic, em, and prop Doppler radar detect, maybe.

There is absolutely nothing Zelensky could say or do that would move Trump away from supporting Putin's positions on the war. Zelensky even tried, as he reasonably should have, to play the obsequious flattery and "resource extraction" game. But he correctly saw it wasn't working and never will.

I loathe the guy and doubt he has come up with this plan, but the price of oil is one of the primary economic factors propping up the Russian economy. If you crater the price you kneecap the Russians. geopolitics-decanted.simplecast.com/episodes/the...
