My people!

Depends on what time the markets are open or closed.

If there is anything that prediction markets prove is that there are more than enough people out there who would backstab the secrets of their industry or government to make money. Worse, the integrity threshold is likely an outgrowth of what they think their leaders excuse or endorse.

I'd like to see a definitive win today. It will be a nice addition to the other thing I'm celebrating: the 34th anniversary of the day I turned 21.

>for this type of toolset. Uncomplicated with a lot of interactions from other domains other than to balance AF contribution to a Joint Force (i.e. don't over contribute by omitting the other force efforts). AFSIM has a good database to build from so that's a start.

I've been following the various RFPs and SBIR announcements released over the last 2 years that I assume where leading to this. Obviously they have enough confidence in whatever they are doing to provide statements for a couple of press releases. And arguably an air domain specific game is perfect<

On one side my mind goes "Two weeks w/ automatic scenario generation and physics-based results in a wargaming platform enabled/executed by AI agents deploying X-number of entities w/ automated workflow to some AI-enabled analytic engine? I'd like to see that."

The other side of me brain is "BS".

There has been some punditry around the idea that the movement requires a "class traitor". Someone with funds such that they can't be bought and who knows all the inside tricks to turn it against them. Maybe they think they found a white whale.

Happy Redistricting Vote In Virginia Day for all who vote and celebrate.

In this case "no step on snek" is practical and useful advice.

Wife & I last night:

Me: Whew, someone needs to take away grandpa's phone.

Wife: You tell your father that the Straits aren't open and there is no deal for this illegal war.

Me: I wasn't talking about my Dad. He didn't text anything. I'm talking about DJT tweets during negotiations. He's grandpa.

That blanket pardon isn’t going to sign itself.

Mark the calendar, Super Troopers 3 in August. Look I know it will be silly and mediocre but ever since I saw Super Troopers 1 in a transient tent hangjng with the Marines from our team at Camp Victory in 2005 after a convoy from Fallujah for some meetings, I've kinda dug the whole thing.

This is how specially trained Marines raid a vessel at sea Marines from a specialized Maritime Raid Force seized an Iranian cargo ship on April 19. The teams train for months for the missions.

If you've seen reports of the Marines taking down Iran's M/V Touska and wondered how that works, here's a good explainer on the Maritime Raid Force

I do now. I get the newsletter in my email so I didn't hunt the socials as much.

I know, right? More of this.

With the Palantir manifesto BS over the last couple of days, it's good to know a report on responsible ways to consider AI acquisition and implementation is out there by an organization that still employs quality researchers.

For those who haven't, get on GAO's newsletter/mailing list.

Karp is playing like he's doing the Jerry Maguire "we should do better" memo and taking the gold fish on a mission with him when in reality he's doing every villain speech in any every Bond movie.

Exactly, only 2 choices:
1. It's happening.
2. Nuke.

Then again during the 2024 campaign he stood and swayed for 40mins to YMCA, Ave Maria, and Nothing Compares 2 U.

I hear Raygun has some open slots.

To the degree that Palantir was Epstein's favorite tech company and that he interacted with a not insignificant number of it's founders and their families (who are operating in government currently) there's that element of this being a thin moralistic sounding veneer over Karp & his ilk's ambitions.

To draw your own conclusions or add to this pithy review feel free to read one of the dumbest things ever published on one of the dumbest fails of a social experiment of "togetherness and sharing" ever.

Noting #20 above, our pluralism is part of American dynamism and vitality. You claim American virtues while undermining them by not understanding how America has been a product of immigration and adoption (at its best).

The U.S. has a diverse religious tradition where respecting other's beliefs was growing until you decided to back Evangelical theocrats into office who explicitly violate Constitutional separations & stipulate primacy of Christianity in public life and government.

You do know the guys you are backing are the most lawless and provably corrupt elected and appointed officials in history? Your more concerned about the morally corrupt not being available to manipulate & would label those with actual integrity as "woke".

Oh, so your advocating for gun safety and stopping mass shootings? No? This really just veiled *their eating the cats & dogs* version of violent criminals that politicians won't risk their constituents over. Got it.
