@GoodAtBingo @DaWi85208200 @JohnLeFevre odds of both A) a hardware/software failure in the logging system used to send data to government regulators + b) self driving sensors failed and drove into a house at 73mph ... vs some idiot pressed an accelerator and drove into a house

@rightnGA @RichPerry4 @JohnLeFevre You think it's going to be hard to prove with a long existing system which they share data with government regulators in multiple countries?

Some dinky civil suit isn't going to be that hard vs NHTSA

Ukraine launches TrophyLab: we are opening access to captured Russian weapon technologies for our global partners. Every missile, drone, and vehicle seized on the battlefield is now a source of knowledge for the free world.

Through this secure platform, allied governments, labs, and defense tech manufacturers gain access to deep technical data, reports, and vulnerabilities. Users can also request physical equipment for testing, significantly shortening the development cycle for countermeasures.

What was meant to be the enemy's secret advantage is being dismantled to defend democracy. Join the platform:

@abraxaz1 @PolymarketIntel The way forward is long range high end missiles, space sensors, and mass drones. Not a tiny set of extremely expensive jets constantly getting their stealth panels repaired

Stealth is way more useful for naval and air-to-air against China, not these wars in Ukraine/Iran

[Daniel McGrady @dmix]

@abraxaz1 @PolymarketIntel Israel already did a SEAD campaign against Irans SAMs/radar a year before the war, they also had intelligence assets on the ground helping target the remaining mobile ones they hid in bunkers.

Israel did that will long range cruise and ballistic missiles mostly carried by F15s

[Daniel McGrady @dmix]

@abraxaz1 @PolymarketIntel There are way too many SAMs in the region where an expensive stealth jet getting closer won't make much difference, especially vs the thousands of drones/missile strikes a month

They already have radar and satellites all around Ukraine as well so jet sensors arent game changing

@DudespostingWs Poor guy in that Mazda 6 now has to do an insurance claim against the city for that PIT into his car

@chetgdp @garybernhardt LLMs can burn tokens without ever outputting large amounts of text to your files. That's also not how products get developed in a competitive market.

Conspiracy theories around AI are extremely rampant these days and it's kinda sad

@garybernhardt My main issue with Claude is the incessant redundant code comments and excessive specs.

But it's still a major, major innovation for programming when used in competent hands and has gotten much less annoying every year for 4yrs

devs are definitely not going to learn CSS anymore. "Just tell Claude to make it pretty"

@jonkay Carney isn't bad at all for a liberal, but his parliament and team is the same old crap from Trudeau. But people don't care about the wider system failures, they just see Carney talking and like it

@BretDevereaux I'd imagine asking the IRGC to be pragmatic and compromise would be like asking the US Marines to make the call to leave Iraq after putting hard work in. IRGC is clinging on to their failed project in Lebanon and don't care about the economic catastrophe they generated

@densumesh Right before you spend 3 hours cleaning up the output that you prompted it to do

@cperciva @paulg The poll question was about about honesty and ethics tbf as well

@TheHubCanada UAE coming to teach Canada how to do industry again

@softwaredoug Claude will acknowledge you changed something and still remove it. Usually comments

@DanielR_PhD That substack is clearly written by a redditor 😬

[Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 @pmarca]

Interesting.

@bentlegen @imrishit98 So nothing new then 😅

@TrentTelenko got to bring back the Cycle Corp for future war
