  • US nears government bailout deal for Spirit Airlines

    Jump

  • Trump has to amend his claim that the federal government should only be for fighting wars. It's for fighting wars and bailing out cronies.

  • Palantir shares slide after manifesto post denouncing 'regressive' cultures

    Jump

  • I suspect what the speculators are getting wise to, is that it's not going to be a good long term move as a weapons manufacturer to tie yourself so publicly to an increasingly unpopular regime that's in the middle of losing a humiliating war.

    Meanwhile Lockheed and General Dynamics stay winning cause they don't have a coked-up CEO with a twitter addiction.

  • China carries out test flight of world's first maritime ground-effect vehicle

    Jump

  • Arguably the Spruce Goose was an (unintentional) ground effect vehicle because its one flight didn't leave the ground affect regime.

    But the USSR made tons of cool ground effect vehicles.

  • Kash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.

    Jump

  • It'll be funny if fascism ends up failing in the USA not because of "our norms" or "our institutions" but because these particular fascists are a bunch of messy, incompetent queens.

  • 'You Are Out of Touch': Schumer Faces New Calls to Step Aside After Israel Weapons Vote

    Jump

  • He's literally said his job is to "keep the left pro-Israel."

    So obviously he's doing a shit job at that. But also you'd think the Senator from New York's job would be to represent the people of New York..

  • Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly building an AI clone to replace him in meetings

    Jump

  • Logic-driven AI could slash energy use by 100x while outperforming today’s most powerful systems

    Jump

  • Full circle. After a big orgy of trying to make ever larger word guessing engines write software we rediscover that computers are fundementally logic machines (and also word guessers were never intelligent)

  • ‘Bullet doesn’t match’: Bombshell claim from lawyers of Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer Tyler Robinson

    Jump

  • People kill bears with 30-06 yet Charlie Kirk's neck stopped the bullet. That never made sense.

  • Iran Destroys American E-3 Sentry AWACS Plane

    Jump

  • CENTCOM's real headquarters is in Tel Aviv

  • Iran Destroys American E-3 Sentry AWACS Plane

    Jump

  • "Are we the Russians?"

  • Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says ‘I think we’ve achieved AGI’

    Jump

  • NVidia's Jensen Huang has a bag he wants you to hold.

  • Deleted

    Wikipedia bans eight editors, six of them anti-Israel

    Jump

  • Perhaps, but I suspect that Wikipedia was looking for a reason to ban them to avoid problems with the ADL and US Government..

  • $30,000,000,000 Question: Canada’s F-35 Debate Seems Paralyzed

    Jump

  • Modern "stealth" aircraft like the F35 uses split-ring resonator patterns in the skin of the aircraft. This is much more durable than the iron spheres suspended in a top coat that the F-22 and older aircraft use. (There's a reason why the F-22 can't be left out in the rain). The problem is that the resonator pattern is highly dependent on radar frequency. So yeah, the Iranians may very well have found radar frequencies that aren't absorbed very well by the F-35.

  • $30,000,000,000 Question: Canada’s F-35 Debate Seems Paralyzed

    Jump

  • They're getting blasted out of the air in Iran right now. One confirmed with a second loss possible. How many F-16s has Ukraine lost in combat? I'm not saying the F-16 is a better aircraft than the F-35 but I think it does show that "stealth" isn't all that and an "old" aircraft like the F-16 or (for that matter) Gripen, with a modern sensor and weapons load-out, is actually pretty similar in capability.

  • You're likely already infected with a brain-eating virus you've never heard of

    Jump

  • The spoiler is that the virus is controlled by the immune system, so it can take over if your immune system fails for some reason (for instance AIDS).

  • Mark Carney's attacks on Canada's public service should concern all Canadians

    Jump

  • It's a myth that rich people aren't already avoiding every tax they can. They would have you believe that there are rich people not currently avoiding a 20% tax who would avoid it if it were 40%. In fact they're already doing everything they can do to avoid it and if they're paying it at 20% they would still be paying it at 40%.

  • $30,000,000,000 Question: Canada’s F-35 Debate Seems Paralyzed

    Jump

  • It'd be way more expensive to split the order. Canada needs arctic recon and interception. That's all it has ever needed. Gripen was built to do that mission. Going with Gripen would both put Canada with a cheaper platform that fulfills the mission, and it sticks a thumb in the eye of Trump's war machine.

  • ‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push

    Jump

  • That's not OP's point. The point is they are clearly getting rid of the guy for telling them their AI plans are dumb. I've seen it before. If you see a leader get dismissed or resign right as there is a big policy shift that's what's going on internally.

  • Imagine Losing Your Job to the Mere Possibility of AI

    Jump

  • Yeah and "fuckening" is clearly his attempt to bandwagon on "enshittification."

    "Oh so catchy phrases need swear words in them now, I'll use the sweariest word and have the catchiest phrase!"

    AI Doomerism is AI boosterism.
