We're absolutely not running out of APKWS. They are manufactured by tens of thousands, and Hydra 70s are even more numerous.

I don't understand your point. Sure, Ukraine can cut a few corners that western militaries are unwilling to cut. They still can't produce a domestic ballistic missile at scale, because it's genuinely hard, and simple terror w

GPS denial is a mixed bag. After about two years of efforts and counter-efforts, the Russians seemingly managed to build GPS receivers that are pretty resistant to jamming.

Half of munitions missing means doubling the logistical burden of delivering the munitions to where they need to be employed. The trucks/plains/ships that carry your munitions need to be fuelled and protected, too, so the expense

It's fairly important to distinguish what kind of drones are we talking about [1]. Iran's using Group 3 drones. The GP is confusing Iran's neighbours not being ready to counter group 3 drones with the drones being inevitably

I'm just not sure what to even say when you're both so assertive and completely wrong. Please stop relying on twitter/reddit to inform your takes. The war in Ukraine is being fought with all tiers of systems, ranging from Zir

That's entirely possible, but doing so reliably and safely is difficult and expensive enough that for a very long time Ukrainians were accepting the risk instead. The risk appetite countries in existential conflicts have is quite diffe

Ukraine does bother with all of that when they can afford it. I'd even say that FPV drones are the main exception, and only because Ukraine was so pressed for immediate results and had stockpiles to repurpose. There are only so many ol

None of those articles elaborates on how that particular target was selected, which is the claim the GP made. There's a difference between "Pentagon uses AI for targeting" and "AI selected a school as a legitimate target

100 rockets for $10k is not happening. The price floor is not dictated by the electronics (which did get cheaper), it's dictated by the rest of the system: propulsion, warheads, arming and safety, QA, traceability, climate and shelf li

Picking the best colour is a difficult problem, I don't think there's a good general answer short of ML magic. I assembled an adversarial collection of images: https://github.com/si14/okmain/blob/mai

Author here: the library just accepts RGB8 bitmaps, probably coming either from Rust's image crate [1] or Python's Pillow [2], which are both mature and widely used. Dealing with codecs is way out of scope. As for loading into mem

Personally I don't like that they do that, not that they are pointing out that they do that.

It's probably impossible for FreeCAD to catch up with the industry-standard CAD systems (SOLIDWORKS, NX, Fusion) unless they somehow pour a stupendous amount of money into their geometry kernel [1]. All major CAD systems use mature geo

I find SOLIDWORKS for Makers [1] a great middle ground between bait-and-switch "free" Fusion and the real, very expensive, deal. SW is one of industry standards, its interface is much better than FreeCAD's, and it's more

I tried moving to NFS, but the level of complexity of NFS auth is just comical. I gave up after trying to set up a Kerberos server on the Synology that I was trying to access. It's too much. Using unauthenticated NFS, even on a local n

To add to this, constructive solid geometry systems like OpenSCAD seem to be practically incapable of doing anything related to surfacing, even if it's just G2 fillets or G2 continuity (much less more advanced work with splines and pat

In my experience, django-ninja is a great alternative to DRF, precisely because it's so thin, unlike DRF.
