The Canadian army has approximately 68,000 active personnel…

He still is involved with engineering things, people just want to think he’s not so they can think less of him.

E.g with Starship it was his decision (that he had to convince everyone on) to use stainless steel for Starship. If I recall correctly, his current focus is on the raptor engine.

So far SS seems to have been working well for them, with the ship surviving some brutal re-entries even with missing heat shield tiles.

This is the progress they’re making on Raptor. And for anyone that doesn’t know, Raptor are the first Full-Flow Staged Combustion Cycle (FFSCC) engines ever flown. A lot of the reductions you’re seeing between the engines is from moving to 3D printing all those channels within the tubes.

when they have absolutely nothing to do with AI other than their poorly chosen marketing name

I worked somewhere once where they had an algorithm that placed items according to rules it was given, and it would output variations based on the rules to give the user some output options to work with. Think A or B could go here, and the different outcomes based on if you started with A or B.

It was pretty complex, but ultimately it was just a deterministic outcome of many possible deterministic outcomes based off the rules and what you started with.

They marketed that shit as AI.

It infuriated me.

No machine learning, no neural nets, no reinforcement learning, or learning of any kind, just placing things based off rules.

And don’t get me wrong, it was good, just not AI.

Hopefully there are people still working on non-llm type general AI, because i don’t think we’re ever going to get there with LLMs. The architecture just seems wrong to ever get there, and even Altman has said they probably can’t solve hallucinations. We can probably go very far down this road and get them pretty good, but it’s the wrong road if you want a real AI.

I dunno, I think the video of him shitting on everyone and then it cutting to eating the shit he rained down on people would be pretty good too.

if you bought IBM gear and it broke, it was simply considered the cost of doing business,

IBM produced Canadian Phoenix Pay system has entered the chat with a record 0 firings.

People also tend to forget all the compliance issues that can come around hosting content, and using someone with expertise in that can reduce a very large burden. It’s not something that would hit every industry, but it does hit many.

If you don’t like it, grab a hose or kick the sidewalk for a couple minutes.

there’s a link to a video of them doing just that in the article.

You aren’t allowed to just leave a bag of garbage where I am.

He has a green compost bin, and everywhere I’ve lived (in canada) accepts unlimited curb side recycling.

So if you have more than 1 garbage bin of garbage, you don’t fucking put it out and live with, and there’s no food in it, so it can wait another week if needed.

I was so sure this was an onion type story I had to search it to see if it was real. I’m still in disbelief.

There’s a twitter link to the post with a video of her washing the chalk messages away…

Yubikeys. I think everyone should get a couple (need 2 in case 1 lost)

It’s a special military operation to disable all the Ukranian missile and drone production sites to ensure no strays could ever reach their territory. It will require 50k boots on the ground.

Probably just hit, but each refinery depending on size can also have multiple refineries within it. A drone hitting one doesn’t necessarily mean 100% output stoppage at the entire site (although probably temporarily while they assess damage and risk to other areas)

Edit yeah those Russian helicopter pilots simply got outflown and outsmarted by Ukrainian FPV pilots

“We noticed that there is a certain pattern in the way enemy aircraft operate. For some time, we conducted surveillance, analyzed and roughly determined the point from which the aircraft operated and the approximate time. Then, at the time when enemy aircraft usually operated, I would fly out on patrol and wait for the aircraft. When there were no helicopters, I simply flew further along the logistics routes in search of enemy vehicles. And today I was lucky.”

Holy shit they got owned hard there wow.

I don’t think I’ve seen a drone take out a in flight helicopter yet? Just ones on the ground. That was insane.

How long could it take to get power back after a strike like that?

I wonder what the best and least globally offensive way to test it would be…

Do they nuke the sea, do they nuke their own empty land, do they nuke their territory but in the front lines in a less important area, or do they directly nuke Russian territory.

Like nuking Moscow would probably just end up in a retaliatory nuke.

I knew about the fiber-optic drones, I had never heard about it on missiles/torpedos.

I think the normalize is a big part. When I go to music festivals there are quite a lot of topless women and no one cares. It kinda feels novel the first time or two, and then it’s like, okay, this is normal.

Normalizing it in the general public would be a lot harder though.

So I get bridges are mined so if you’re losing ground you can blow them up and stop the attacker… but given this whole drone situation, it doesn’t seem like the greatest strategy nowadays.

Hopefully they keep doing it.
