I'm being a bit obtuse here to make the point, it's more complicated than that. The reality is if you create a defense startup you end up hiring defense employees which comes with its own set of issues. That said, go look at sala

Whenever you look at supersonic or hypersonic commercial aircraft plans you should assume one of two things. A. It's a bait and switch by a founder who wants to pivot to weapons/military aircraft but wants to be able to hire high

This x10000 I can get parts, they're part of a BOM that gets approved, but getting POs approved for software is a pain in the ass. Been considering switching next gen stuff to microchip.

I routinely add/remove many of those things so I'm not sure how reliable they are. Like I alternate between hitch/no hitch/bike rack, add/remove roof rack (it hurts mileage and is easy to swap), swap between my summ

The gov will have that database though and it's a simple query to get all the displayed IDs and then search them in Flock's database. It makes it slightly harder for Flock to do things of it's own accord but that's not

The G model hornets are extensively modified with different electrical harnesses and electronics for their role, they're not interchangeable at all in practice. The 20mm cannon is fully removed as well as the wing tip rails to make ro

I'm in a company going through this. Everyone outsources their thinking to LLMs and the results are painfully mediocre. The smart ones will use it to get their bearings on the topic then go to primary sources, the not so bright just

Feed it the current location of the ISS and see what happens to your insurance rates.

Simplex is run by borderline grifters and Tor isn't a messenger. I don't understand why this is so controversial. If you follow the news on the slightest the game right now is feds raiding journalists, taking their devices and th

That's all nice but it's also the defacto option for non technical people who need state actor resistant security and if they can just be subpoenaed to get the verified ID of the account holder that defeats the entire use case

Will this finally get Signal to stop demanding phone numbers to register accounts? Lots of services you'd rather have an anonymous account with (Google, Meta, Discord) are partially/fully mandating phone numbers as a spam mitigati

I'm not sure I grasp the hype here. It's a few dynamixels screwed together. They're not even particularly good servos.

This assumes any inside information is distributed across the set of jet owners relatively uniformly. In reality most of the private get guys run dealership chains or well services companies. Nobody is going to bother tipping them all off

The airframe isn't the main cost driver for these things and cardboard is aerodynamically inefficient. You could blow mould or a million other techniques and get a better, possibly cheaper airframe.

Refusing to participate WORKS. I've had the unfortunate experience of working at a startup that started courting some autonomous weapons companies and HOLY SHIT were they the bottom of the barrel. Levels of incompetence you wouldn&#x2

These interactive tutorials used to be better when they were made by hand to demonstrate the concept accurately. This Claude stuff just feels like an attention grab.

He's not wrong... From an information theory perspective, LLMs are just regurgitating content from a loss-ily compressed training set. It just turns out that like 95% of software we write is extremely repetitive rehashed shit globbed t

Eh, I've played with 802.11ah and it's very long range for the power, but way too stateful for the use case that these mesh protocols serve. If you go out of range it's several seconds to re-establish a connection. I'v

So the goal is to get rid of the people who have all the internal knowledge?

I feel this. I've been looking at ADV bikes and everything on the market has a cellular modem for always on cloud connectivity, and multiple vendors, including Zero (the electric internet darling) are offering paid feature unlocks via

Something to be aware of, the laser safety goggles used by lab workers, pilots, soldiers etc are based on the premise that lasers only occupy extremely specific and narrow parts of the spectrum so by just blocking those little bits, you can

Why not just disable touchID if the Bluetooth modem hears advertising packets from the 00:25:DF OUI?

It's like explaining to IT that you can't, in fact, install global protect/UEM on a satellite just because it runs a Linux operating system.

Listen to the flock CEO talk and then tell me he isn't trying to build a counter-revolutionary dragnet. Just because cities are doing it doesn't mean it's not deliberate, that's just a step in the plan. Not everything

What would you suggest? Vibe coding a react app that runs on a Mac mini to control trajectory? What happens when that Mac mini gets hit with an SEU or even a SEGR? Guess everyone just dies?

I used to work radar systems. The point being that the hardware is fully capable. The software side is quite well understood at this point. There will be plenty of repos floating around in a year to turn this into an airborne drone SAR or
