At best it will help you kill the snake by force-feeding it its own tail whereas AI will learn on AI-generated open source code, eventually becoming useless.

Well, try to explain how could that ever be possible that an industry that by very definition of what software is - something that can be infinitely copied and reused for free having being created once - is an inequality engine - was a sour

It most certainly isn't actionable because they aren't making any bombers anymore. Ukraine isn't trying to shoot down any of them (they are not using within, or close to, Ukrainian airspace), so whatever knowledge they might

"despite it's age" is a very common mistake. Despite the general type is from 1950s just like the B-52 is, the actual Tu-95MS-6 and MS-16 airframes are built in early to mid 1980s. They are not at all ancient.

I think nothing changed here. It was never meant to be good. Software - just because it can be infinitely copied for free - is little but an inequality engine, and thus is bound to work by ripping the social fabric apart. I always knew that

Renaissance is a lot older than that. Renaissance was over by 1527, merely a decade after the 95 Theses when Protestantism was just getting started, still haven't had any cultural impact - and the rest of the things mentioned not start

Denmark is rich, has strong industry, and is located at strategic point. Why doesn't it have nuclear weapons yet? Especially being a monarchy, it has a benefit of a lot better accountability of it's deployment.

Now probably is a good time to retire for those who are anywhere close to it. Whatever comes in the coming few years will be something no one in the industry will miss. Just the endless grind for less money and less respect and less impact

It will be a major oops moment when we will find out that dementia is caused by some weird kind of bacterial or prion infection. And the whole moral explanation of it ("go read your damn books and talk to smart people or you will get A

Well, all of this needs physical protection. Just walls thick enough, anti-drone nets, and AA guns too. Drone attacks from now on will be a new tax to add to the cost of all infrastructure.

Simple solution is to store them hangared. Not too expensive for a rich country like US. It will also improve deployment ambiguity and facilitate covert changes in readiness levels (it's hard to tell from outside whether a plane in han

Thing is, there's very little NATO can do to prevent Ukrainians from doing it. That's part of the game: pressure NATO into increasing military support by showing them that otherwise, they are forced to do things that make NATO ter

Well, it's about 1/4 of the way that's needed to if not nullify Russia's nuclear deterrence, then to significantly weaken it and make it less than certain. Make Russia 'one of' nuclear powers. Take out the rema

Of course they do. Unless a person is clearly insane and unable to comprehend what they are doing. It is inhumane and cruel to prevent someone suffering like that from dying - the very thought of it almost makes me cry, and i'm not a v

Mandatory military service is like monarchy, or democracy for that matter: good thing to keep, super easy to lose, next to impossible to get back once you lost it.

Because most of the time, most of the people do good things only when they are forced to.

After going through military service, they will be a lot less failing and a lot less disgruntled. Plus, they could be kept there for a very long time and when the military is very large, very experienced due to long service years, and is co

Well, this is a point where two problems meet: the need to beef up armed forces (especially in Germany! that faces Russian threat and completely unreliable allies), and a generation of young men with nothing to do.

by anovikov 1y ago
There was a good channel to make use of those young men in the society: Army conscription, back in the good old days. Then selfish boomers took it, along with many other good things, away, because they didn't want to fight in Viet Nam.

It's quite expectable for someone who understands things about warfare, to make that mistake. See, Putin was seen as a guy who understands warfare, after all he was quite successful in Syria (or so it seemed, until he eventually lost 3

I think the only reason of why it works is that Ukrainians are an even lower trust culture, and they are better and more cynical at duping people. Plus, in Ukraine many people see it as their patriotic duty, and perhaps rightfully so, so th

Reason of most scams is the absurd level of trust existing in Western countries. When i first saw Upwork where hours were paid by the tracker in a guaranteed manner and people SIGNED for it, i knew West was doomed. I still find it hard to b

All of this has any meaning only for public corporations. For privately held companies, things never changed. And the world is quickly turning away from IPOs, companies are striving to stay private for as long as they can, and well-develope

For each of those venerable scopes and mounts, hundreds of cheapo Chinese clones are built. In fact, whole world knows these devices but not by the originals but by the Chinese clones (HEQ5 = Vixen GP, EQ6 = Vixen GP-DX etc). The world does
