Most drones aren't optical because optical drones sacrifice payload and distance, they're only used when broad spectrum jamming is expected. Jamming of that type is expensive and heavy enough that infantry probably won't be jamming, or light vehicles, or a lot of infrastructure.

It's wildly naive to think that dictators are 'nutjobs'. They are, without exception, shrewd political operators. You don't get to be dictator and stay dictator without a certain skill set, and part of that is having a good sense of which actions get you a bigger bank account and which ones end with your head on a stick.

They might be wrong like any human, but they aren't cartoon villains.

This is silly. Elite units have always gotten better gear. If this is the part of war that causes you moral outrage I think you've got some rexamining to do.

It's unlikely that rich countries would experience famine as severely as poor ones and consequently they would probably still demand meat. Grain that could feed people would still feed livestock.

There are undoubtedly 'adversarial images' that will induce certain effects in particular biological minds. It seems like this is neither good or bad inherently, just another tool.

that seems pretty easily falsifiable. Sometimes you want want to consume content while doing something else that precludes reading. Sometimes you want to relax your eyeballs after staring at a screen all day. Theres plenty of reasons to consume audio or video.

So the vacuum cleaner manufacturer would just require customers to install mistral on their local LLM hostbox? Or maybe they'd sell you a host to go with it you couldn't get into and honest cross fingers we aren't peeking!

Yes, it is randomized but due to a quirk in the universal probability waveform it always randomizes to 'rzadmin'. Scientists are baffled.

Imagine having an entire worldview that boils down to which of two buttons you push and whether someone else pushed the same one. Elon musk has a rich tapestry of reasons he's a shitbag, that's not even near the top of the list.

The democratic socialist races that have recently concluded do not represent any kind of powerbase in the party. They are in the news cycle now but as soon as they aren't the party will begin the process of co-opting, corrupting, or ultimately crushing these upstart elements. The party is kid gloves when it comes to fighting fascists but when it comes to suppressing internal dissent you see the gloves come off. Every time.

Anxiety procrastination is basically my default state. I find doing things with my hands while listening to dumb podcasts helps dissipate that energy.

There is a pervasive kind of dork that continuously panics about reasonable policies until they are enacted and everything works out great and they find a new crisis to panic about.

I heard all the same stuff when my state legalized weed. There was going to be gang wars in the streets cartels would run the state there would be chaos.

Then they legalized it and everything was fine.

Complete turbodork material.

You just keep saying 'socialisim' over and over like it's a viable argument

Lol Democrats have moved left over time ok. Yeah, maybe since antebellum but the democratic party has been on a rightward march for a long time.

Elon musk is a scumbag and starlink is very useful. Both things can be true.

I will say having the world ISP run by a man with his ... proclivities is less than optimal.

Or just using voltage pickups like every system that monitors battery voltage ever, or about a dozen other very simple solutions.
