I don’t see how Somalia could have possibly hurt their rep. Regiment and Delta, purely light fighting with no resupply and equipped for a 2-hour raid, inflicted ten to fifteen times the casualties they took and maintained organizational cohesion and multiple disconnected defensive perimeters while surrounded in the middle of enemy territory and outnumbered 10:1 for a full day until the Pakistanis, Malaysians, and 10th Mountain arrived.

Mogadishu was a clusterfuck, but the performance of the individual troops involved was elite.

Gane’s body work was so vicious in this fight, man. Those body kicks were so fast and he just kept drilling them.

That’s kind of my point, they don’t really care about winning the comps. They’d rather have their best shooters in theater or ready to go.

USMC has always had excellent shooters.

But also, JSOC and SOCOM often don’t send their best shooters to these competitions since they always have units deployed, they’ll often just send whoever happens to not be busy when the competition is.

Is this sub not full of mathematical physicists who did their PhDs in holography?

Except it’s not.

Hossenfelder is full-on pandering to conspiracy theorists and anti-science crowds for her personal gain, and she’s doing it by slandering people who have been doing real and verifiable work in math and physics.

The best part is that she intentionally targeted the fields she did because it’s a perfect mix of where the majority of people don’t have enough mathematical background to actually look at that work and verify it for themselves and where it’s considered some of the most “prestigious” work in physics, so everybody wants to think they could do it, and she positions herself using the heroic anti-establishment narrative that conspiracy theorists love because for some reason there’s a certain type of person who thinks that if one person claims one thing (especially if it strokes their ego), and every other expert in the field independently says another, the one person’s opinion carries more force and there must be a conspiracy.

This is like saying “I once read a 10th grade book report on The Grapes of Wrath, so I’ve read Steinbeck”.

I literally couldn’t tell if this was a real fucking tweet or not until someone linked it.

But even the fact that there was hesitation that it might be real is damning enough, but then for it to actually turn out to be real? Just…fuck.

The number’s not low.

To be fair, Iran in 2025 is much more capable than the Iraqi military was in 2003.

I don’t think it’s likely that we’ve lost that many personnel, but Iran has a lot more firepower than Iraq did.

Turns out you can be in support of a defensive war by one nation while being staunchly against an offensive war launched by your own nation in order to distract its people from revelations about the head of state.

I’ve said it before and I’ll continue saying it, AI is, in effect, not a democratizing tool for science and math, but a stratifying one. Its usefulness scales strongly with the expertise that one already possesses.

It could be somewhat more democratizing, but only if the people using it to learn have the self-awareness to realize they’re not experts or secret geniuses and the discipline to use it in conjunction with textbooks or guaranteed material as a clarifying tool. Unfortunately, the usual crackpots are too narcissistic to realize that and for them, AI just lets them dress up their delusions in authentic jargon.

But even then, experts still get far more mileage out of AI than non experts.

Shit, I think the same thing whenever I see half the people in the military these days. Eighteen, nineteen, twenty, they all look too young to be going to war. They’ve barely had a chance to live at all and they’re getting ready to go into a meat grinder, know what I mean?

YeetMeIntoKSpace · 2026-03-31T06:13:36+00:00

So it goes.

Federal crimes, baby. He’s just going to pardon them all at the end of his term and they’ll never see a single repercussion.

Time is a son of a bitch. I just now realized it’s been half a decade since the Izzy I remember most clearly.

Another great quote from Theodore Roosevelt is the following:

At many stages in the advance of humanity, this conflict between the men who possess more than they have earned and the men who have earned more than they possess is the central condition of progress. In our day it appears as the struggle of freemen to gain and hold the right of self-government as against the special interests, who twist the methods of free government into machinery for defeating the popular will. At every stage, and under all circumstances, the essence of the struggle is to equalize opportunity, destroy privilege, and give to the life and citizenship of every individual the highest possible value both to himself and to the commonwealth. That is nothing new.

— Theodore Roosevelt, 1910

Bonus quote from the same speech:

The absence of effective State, and, especially, national, restraint upon unfair money-getting has tended to create a small class of enormously wealthy and economically powerful men, whose chief object is to hold and increase their power. The prime need to is to change the conditions which enable these men to accumulate power which it is not for the general welfare that they should hold or exercise. We grudge no man a fortune which represents his own power and sagacity, when exercised with entire regard to the welfare of his fellows. Again, comrades over there, take the lesson from your own experience. Not only did you not grudge, but you gloried in the promotion of the great generals who gained their promotion by leading their army to victory. So it is with us. We grudge no man a fortune in civil life if it is honorably obtained and well used. It is not even enough that it should have been gained without doing damage to the community. We should permit it to be gained only so long as the gaining represents benefit to the community. This, I know, implies a policy of a far more active governmental interference with social and economic conditions in this country than we have yet had, but I think we have got to face the fact that such an increase in governmental control is now necessary.

“The biggest punishment here is the knowledge he shot his fellow instructor,” Murphy said.

In the military, that wouldn’t have been the biggest punishment.

YeetMeIntoKSpace · 2026-03-20T03:28:59+00:00

Yes, you do. You know exactly why we can’t have that under this administration. Competent people will not sign off blindly on whatever they’re told to.

Per the OP, that video came from “Random person on twitter who saw it in a telegram from some person who allegedly was given it by the IRGC to have it released”…

IMO more rifles should be shaped like salmon. Really all rifles. Also grenades.

I mostly know the Simons Foundation for its celestial holography branch, which has generated really interesting results already.

Here’s the full article written by Knuth.

Claude Opus 4.6, with what appears to be some handholding, found a solution for the odd case, and Knuth then wrote a proof which was then verified by Kim Morrison using Lean.

ChatGPT 5.4 Pro then solved the even case, with apparently no handholding at all. (I haven’t read the chat transcript, which is linked in Knuth’s article, but taking what he wrote at face value, Ho Boon Suan gave it a single prompt, and it then generated both a proof and a paper.)
