The object of a system of authority is order, not justice. Justice matters only after injustice sufficiently compromises order.

  • U.S. Personnel Who Died in Mexico Were Working for the CIA, Sources Say

    Jump

  • The CIA working with Mexican officials has been public information since last fall.

  • Mozilla says it patched 271 Firefox vulnerabilities thanks to Anthropic's Claude Mythos

    Jump

  • I've seen some security researchers, such as Ed at LowLevel, cover Mythos and they've been reasonably impressed.

  • Anthropic nuked a company's access to Claude, stopping 60 employees dead in their tracks — support via Google Form is the only recourse for vague usage policy violation

  • Since we’re whipping out credentials, I’ve been in IT almost 30 years and I can tell you it’s not going to work like that.

    I'm not the person you were replying to but I've also been in tech since 1996 and lots of things have worked just like that. All successful technology starts off barely functional and improves over time until nearly all members of it's intended audience can successfully use it.

    As an example in 1996 setting up a router was a specialty task that required training, by 2016 any moron could buy one off the shelf and have it running in an hour. As another example basic HTML was a specialty skill in 1996 but by 2003 you could do it with Microsoft Word. Smartphones are another example, they went from barely functional Windows Mobile and Blackberry devices which required ridiculous amounts of back end skill to deliver email to iPhones and Androids that any numskull can use for nearly anything at all.

    My point is this; too many people are stuck on the "What use is a newborn baby?" question without realizing that the infant is growing-up at blinding speed. It's also the first technology to carry the promise, real or not, of self-improvement when it reaches sufficient maturity. Assuming that happens all further improvement will be increasingly automatic and happen even faster.

    AI isn't going away and it's only going to get better as time goes on.

  • Global growth in solar "the largest ever observed for any source"

    Jump

  • There must be reasons why there aren’t at least SOME areas are doing this, since it essentially doesn’t exist.

    They aren't yet common but more are built all the time and they are far from non-existent.

    You probably don't realize how many of them there are. Here's a link showing dozens of Solar Canopy projects done by just Lumos Solar. There's dozens more companies across the United States doing these kinds of projects you just don't hear about them. As examples did you know about the the solar canopy parking lots at Dell, Intel, Cincinnati Zoo, and Rutgers University? There's also solar canopies in Omaha, Kansas City, Chicago, and Denver that you probably have never heard of.

    Don't feel bad for not knowing about them either; these kinds of project simply aren't newsworthy unless they are tied to some major project or entity.

  • What’s behind the US army’s decision to raise enlistment age to 42?

    Jump

  • A comment up above says that in Canada the age limit is 50.

  • Ai generated slop picture with an ai generated slop article posted on a biased and dubious "news" website.

    Save your outrage, it's a horseshit claim.

  • The Dangers of California’s Legislation to Censor 3D Printing

  • Engineer open-sources DIY radar system that's 95% cheaper than $250,000 commercial offerings, has 20 kilometer range — Moroccan engineer designs Aeris-10 radar, shares it on GitHub

    Jump

  • Not even close, both of these projects are wildly deficient for that kind of use and the effort required to solve those deficiencies would at least 10x if not 20x the cost.

    That doesn't mean they are useless, I can definitely see some eyebrow raising asymmetric possibilities.

    If you're seriously interested in this DIY Radar System I strongly suggest you grab a full copy from Github and put it on local storage as I doubt it's going to remain up for long.

  • JD Vance warns the pope should 'be careful' when talking about theology

  • David wasn't God's Son nor was he a Christian, but you knew that already.

  • JD Vance warns the pope should 'be careful' when talking about theology

    Jump

  • Even the Apostles got it twisted while Jesus was alive. Luke 9:51-56 is relevant here.

  • Ukraine said it captured a Russian position using only ground robots and drones, no infantry, for the first time

    Jump

  • You're not wrong but I was specifically referencing the ground based drones with my comment. Apologies that wasn't clear.

  • US Treasury's Bessent says China has been unreliable partner by hoarding oil during war

    Jump

  • China's SPR is the largest in the world, by a lot, but it's also the world 2nd largest consumer of oil and it imports almost 70% of what it uses.

    The US SPR is about 1/3rd the size of China's but it is also a net exporter with a surplus of around 2.4 Mbbl/s per day.

    It's generally accepted that China has a large enough SPR to cover about 120 days. The US is essentially limitless since, at least on paper, it produces more than it needs.

    I viewed some analysis over the weekend proposing that China would run into petroleum problems in mid-June if something doesn't change with the Iran situation.

  • Until the drones start getting used on civilians. Which is absolutely going to happen and soon.

  • The Dangers of California’s Legislation to Censor 3D Printing

  • Two States, California and Washington, are not "The US" any more than France and Germany are the European Union. They are important no doubt but they do not themselves represent the entire entity.

  • a German truck was a work of art compared to a Jeep

    Was it though? A lot of WWII German equipment and practices have developed a myth of quality that isn't remotely true. You hear a lot about how great Panzer tanks were but rarely do you hear that their transmissions tended to last 200 miles or less. Meanwhile the stupid Sherman had cross cut gears so it was way quieter and lasted way longer.

    We also tend to ignore that German logistics were absolutely bonkers. While American's were unloading pallets with forklifts and putting them on trucks Germans were unloading loose bags / boxes by hand and putting them on pack animals (because they didn't have trucks). Even worse the same dudes unloading the cargo were often combat units!
