A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, hooded, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge.

“They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”

CQC? Google AI sagt:

Core Principles (The 3 S's)
Speed: Minimizing exposure time to threats.
Surprise: Disorienting or misdirecting the enemy to gain an advantage.
Controlled Violence: Decisive, aggressive action to eliminate threats while maintaining safety.

Ahja... das S in Controlled Violence

better than if he had done it by hand. (Still, I am not convinced by this way of working when you basically yell "AI Jesus, take the wheel" and hope for the best...)

Well, your comment is one of the occasions that let me ask myself if I am too sceptic about AI and should give it more often a try...

I have a colleague who can't code. But he extracts and plots information with an AI written script. OK, he took very long, and it was flawed at the beginning, but

I need to admit that I barely code anymore since 3 1/2 years...

So whenever I write small programs, I do as I did before without AI tbh.

When I still worked on a larger software package, I stored some templates and used auto-complete functionalities in my IDE, but that's all.

Estonia's HIMARS ammunition held up by US weapons deliveries delays The delay in U.S. defense deliveries mainly affects Estonia's ammunition for the HIMARS multiple rocket launcher system, some of which was supposed to arrive already this year.

Die Frage ist ja nicht ob, sondern wann US-Waffenlieferungen auch für europäische NATO-Staaten zum unberechenbaren Glücksspiel werden

Because we get asked a lot.
The Technological Republic, in brief.
1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.
2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible.
3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.

4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.
5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.
6. National service should be a universal duty.
We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.
7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commi

8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive.
9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret.
10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed.
11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice.

12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.l. is set to begin.
13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect.
But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet.
14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren
— have never known a world war.
15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese

Did he do a treadmill-based dynamic gait analysis to select his high damping shoes of this years collection? Did he track his progress with the Strava app or similar and more importantly, did he post it on his social media?

If not, his victory does mean nothing and is against the spirit of running.

Ich war heute im Deutschen Museum in München und ein Mitarbeiter hat mir was erklärt, und dabei auch Informationen auf seinem Handy gezeigt. Dabei habe ich gesehen, dass sein Podcast-Player noch eine halbgehörte Episode #Sicherheitshalber zeigte. Da war er mir gleich noch sympatischer 😊

How Cheap Drones Are Changing Wars Like the Ones in Ukraine and Iran (Gift Article) The United States and its allies have historically prioritized accurate but expensive defense solutions. Drones challenge that math.

Abwehr von Drohnen ist auch ne Kostenfrage. Die New York Times hat das
für die USA mal aufgelistet (gilt ähnlich auch für andere NATO-Staaten):
