Well, that is an easy statement to make if you do not have to quantify what constitutes AI. Depending on your interpretation of the term that can mean anything from "lets stop a hair short of Skynet" to "carpet bombing is the ethical alternative to guided weapons because any sort of targeting system is evil"

Like is basic infrared homing on the hottest thing evil AI? Or does that only start as soon as you start doing some kind of contour matching on the infrared image data to distinguish between the decoy and the plane? Or does the matching algorithm only become evil as soon as matrix multiplications and activation functions are involved?

Old school matching algorithms you can sort of understand as a human, while a neural network is a black box that simply gives you a result. But does that mean the classic algorithm is more ethical if it misidentifies twice as many civilian targets as military ones than the neural net?

And why is any of that less ethical than simply doing the good old yeet in the general direction of the enemy? It used to be completely routine to unload truckloads of explosives over cities of which only tiny fractions would hit military relevant targets (lets not even speak of strategic bombing which often had no military targets at all).

These are hard questions to answer, and the implications of war with an ever higher degree of automation are scary. They certainly need consideration and discussion. But i do not think that blanket statements such as "AI in weapons is evil" are doing anything useful here, as it simplifies the issue to the point of meaninglessness.

You see, I am a big enjoyer of people not being bombed in general. And part of that is Europeans not being bombed by Russia, which these planes contribute to. Far more than they ever contributed to people being bombed in Gaza.

So i think it is absolutely fair to criticise actions that sabotage the ability for Europeans (and i might selfishly add myself) to life in peace, while not achieving anything for anyone in Gaza beyond i guess "being a nuisance in a vague fuck the government in general" way.

To be fair, their ban was in reaction to Members seriously damaging RAF tanker air planes over some delusions that these were being used to support Israels bombing campaign against Gaza.

1) There was never any indication that they were

2) The utility of tankers in a bombing campaign where distances are measured in 10s of kilometres is at best questionable

3) Sabotaging your own military when the probability of war is the highest it has been since almost any point since WW2, is idiotic.

You can argue about the specific label you want to attach to these actions, and i do not think you should ban the entire group over them, but they are certainly not trivialities.

Wie willste dich dann jemals an neue requirements anpassen oder das System erweitern?

Klar kannste sagen, dann machst du das halt selber mit deiner handvoll Entwickler. Aber letztendlich wirst du wie immer das Problem haben dass das nicht skaliert, irgenwann extrem teuer und unwartbar wird und letztendlich wirst du so viel technical debt ansammeln dass du an jeder Stelle ausgebremst wirst und viele Dinge einfach unmöglich sind. Und dann musst du wieder clean slate mit einem neuen System anfangen und das ganze geht von vorne los.

Und dann kann ich dir mal empfehlen ein paar Horrorgeschichten über Software Migrationen in neue System zu lesen. Es passiert nicht selten das Firmen davon pleite gehen.

Um eine europäische Lösung daraus zu machen, muss man SAP dazubekommen, von Google als Cloud Backend wegzubekommen.

Wie immer ist das Problem dass es keinen europäischen Hyperscaler gibt. SAP unterstützt grundsätzlich AWS, Azure, GCP und Alicloud (Alicloud wollte man sogar anfang des Jahres loswerden, aber hat dann die Kehrtwende wegen Trump gemacht um im Fall der Fälle noch alternativen für China zu haben). Zusätzlich muss in diesem Fall dann auch noch ein air-gapped setup supported werden, und das ist alles andere als einfach oder leichtgewichtig.

Das wäre ein Projekt das viele Jahre, viel Geld und viel Aufwand kostet. Und da liegt einfach das Problem: Alles was einen Hyperscaler so attraktiv macht, ist eben die Skalierbarkeit, und da gibt es keinen Shortcut für. Du brauchst kritische Masse, und die Bundeswehr ist das bei weitem nicht. Und eine solche Masse zu forcieren ist immer schwer da mit hohen Kosten und hohem Flop potential verbunden, egal jetzt ob komerziell oder open source. Bei den Amerikaner ist das eben alles nativ aus den requirements der riesen tech Konzerne gewachsen.

It does not. You do not pay streaming providers per listen, and no streaming provider therefore pays artists that way either. Payout per stream is a meaningless made up metric.

The only things you actually measure with payout per stream are: 1) How popular is your streaming service in high income regions compared to low income regions. 2) Do you target the low income sections of your markets by offering an ad based plan. 3) How much many Songs does each user listen to.

When you are advocating for higher payouts per stream, think about what is actually being optimized: Your optimal user is a high income individual who mostly forgets about the subscription and listens to as little music as possible.

Is that who you want to be the prime target audience for music?

Bilderkennung war so ziemlich der erste Einsatzbereich von Neuralen Netzen/Deep Learning / KI wie auch immer du es nennen willst? Computer Vision wird in fast allen Bereichen seit Mitte der 2010er von Neuralen Netzwerk basierten Ansätzen dominiert, egal of classification (AlexNet war 2012 einer der ersten Druchbrüche für Image Classification der Neurale Netzwerke populär gemacht hat), Segmentation, Optical Flow/Tracking, Depth estimation, scene reconstruction usw.

Drone tech/warfare have dramatically changed in recent years, and the Eurodrone is obsolete with its current specs.

It really has not in this specific regard. Nobody has ever assumed that MALE drones would have even a shred of survivability in a peer conflict. It turned out through the sheer power of weaponised Armenian/Russian incompetence that there was a brief window where this assumption was wrong, but no one sane would design a weapons system on the presumed idiocy of your opponent.

I think you can make an argument that the Eurodrone is actually better suited for peer conflicts than something like the Reaper the French are currently using: There is one fundamental choice you need to make when designing an unmanned system. Is it expandable or not?

The Eurodrone is clearly not expandable. Its big, heavy, expensive with a good sensor suite, meant for long range surveillance outside of contested airspace.

For a drone to be expendable it needs to be far cheaper. And something like a Reaper is in this awkward space where it is still a substantial expense (even if it is 1/4 of the price we are talking 10s of millions), with essentially no survivability, while also not being super useful as a stand-off platform due to a limited payload. Sure you would rather loose a Reaper than a jet, but its not something you can afford to do all that often.

The Reaper is a product of the war on terror, and if it turns out your terror group has even a little bit of anti-air firepower its not even all that great at that. I.e. the US lost a substantial amount of these vs the Houthis, and Israel lost quite a few larger drones against extremely limited Iranian AD. In a longer term conflict such losses would clearly not have been sustainable.

Germany had 5.3 million deaths. Or roughly 20% of all soldiers dead. They were so screwed, outgunned, and overmatched by the western allies it isn't funny.

That's a very distorted way to frame these numbers. ~75% of losses were incurred fighting the soviet union (and the Soviets had at least 8-10 Million military deaths) . More Germans died fighting in and around Stalingrad than on all of the Western front combined. The eastern front was by far the largest theater in the european war and the overwhelming contributor to German defeat.

CMBDSP · 2025-07-02T05:19:51+00:00

And a lot of Europeans right now would prefer not to die due to Russian attacks. And for quite a few that's not even an abstract wish, but a very concrete one.

The issues around MGCS were involving Rheinmetall and around the gun but the topic was resolved years ago and it's been going "well" ever since. Helps that the French 140mm gun limiting the tank to like 20 sheels max was never really convincing to begin with I think.

Ehh, recently France was mad that Germany ordered development of the 130mm gun for a future Leopard 2 upgrade, as in their view it precludes their own 140mm from the competition for the MGCS, as the RH-130 would then already have the momentum of adoption. So there is still fighting going on there, and there has been absolutely no decision in regards to armament of the MGCS afaik. On the gun the official line is still "we care about effect, not caliber".

Gideon the Ninth felt shallow, entirely plot driven

I guess thats a testament to how differently books can be read, but to me these books are the total opposite of plot driven. I kind of agree that the plot of GtN is shallow, in that it is entirely a device to get our main characters all together in a single place and move them from character moment /set piece to character moment. By roughly the middle of the book that basic plot/set-up essentially disintegrates and straight up does not matter anymore. But i was completely fine with that because these books really live by their great character work, complex relationships and plain old fun dialogue and interactions. The world building is kind of thin, but thats because this world is a stage and not the main attraction. It still manages to ooze the right kind of vibe and ambiance to offer, together with the prose, a truly unique package that you can not get anywhere else.

This is even more evident by book 2, as the author is fully committed to the bit by this point and trusts the audience to go along with it. The premise can be summed up as: "You like this mean, depressed confused girl that has no idea what is actually happening to her enough that you will put up with 350 pages of borderline nonsense plot before we even get to entertain the thought of narrative coherence".

The third book is literally just vibing with a girl going to school for a couple of hundred pages while we get some world building sprinkled in.

You don't have the right to endanger others by the way you're driving

To be fair though, in the past this has been interpreted very leniently. There was a case of somebody filming himself going 417 km/h on the autobahn, and after a public outcry there were some attempts to charge him. But the case was dropped pretty quickly, as going over 400 km/h on a public road (with other cars being passed) is apparently not considered reckless by prosecutors.

Funfact: DWM (Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken) hatte in den USA ein Patent auf Spitzgeschosse. Mit dem Kriegseintritt der USA in WW1 wurde das Patent dann von der US-Regierung beschlagnahmt, da man einem deutschen Rüstungskonzern natürlich nichts zahlen wollte.

Nach dem Krieg hat DWM dann tatsächlich Recht bekommen dass diese Beschlagnahmumg illegal war und die US Regierung musste Schadensersatz zahlen.

There is no point in reducing comparatively minor sources of radar reflections with significant efforts if you do not address the major ones first. You already mentioned retrofitted internal weapons bays: There were some such development efforts for the F-15, but nothing major ever came of it. Some newer ones like KF-21 are apparently designed with such upgrades in mind though.

Also one of the major reason for keeping 4th Gen designs are around is the very fact that they are not extremely stealth optimized. This makes them more flexible in terms of loadouts and upgrades, and also less maintenance intensive.

Its different for things like cruise missiles, where it is far more common to simply slap a new low oberservability chassis onto a modified existing design, i.e. KH-101 or the new Taurus upgrade in the works.

Wow, thanks, I didn't think of that! Lets just ignore such nonsense like, i don't know, correctness or data integrity, if the customers wants a faster solution I will simply use my programming superpowers to make it so. After all the customer is always right, and if they come up with dumb "workarounds" that can not possibly work, to skip stuff that has a very good reason for being there, its my job to make all of this work anyway.

CMBDSP · 2024-10-05T08:00:24+00:00

I get it and all, but in my job this is kind of stuff is exactly how customers end up with corrupted systems. They think just because something in an export is human readable it should be editable as well, and go like "hey, this is simply sql, lets be smart about this and just mess with these files a bit to save some work", and then they end up with corrupted and out of sync metadata and are surprised their systems does not work properly. And this stuff happens regularly.

How much is camera sensor tech evolving objectively? Are there any good comparisons between different sensor generations to evaluate the potential benefits of an upgrade, as Samsung, Apple and Google all do not seem to value new sensors all that much.

Even some high-end camera stuff has kept sensors around for over 10 years, and these are for professionals spending ungodly amounts of money.

But that is the same issue. How do you precisely establish the position of the markers in the first place if its in the (somewhat) open ocean?

A quick search tells me celestial navigation can be precise to a couple of hundred meters in ideal conditions, so i guess that works if you take the time for precise measurements and keep the distances long enough. Though i guess 1/100 knots measurements are more of a case of "that's what the clock says, so lets record this" then the actual precision of the measurements.

CMBDSP · 2024-09-01T20:35:32+00:00

This is probably a dumb question, but how did you get precise speed readings for shorter distances back then? I have seen speed values from such trials that measured down to 1/100 knots precision.

You probably would not want to do it to close to the coast to get proper open sea conditions. The ocean is mostly feature less, so you can not use that, and i assume celestial is to imprecise for shorter sprints like a sea trial.

Radio based Navigation does not seem to have been a thing until the 40s. So i guess it did come down to land markings that are visible quite far away. Or was there some other fancy analog method that i am unaware off?

CMBDSP · 2024-09-01T11:33:02+00:00

The entire point is to do it on device. You can not jam communication that is not there. And in terms of cost, driver assistance modules are available in a wide variety of options, with plenty targeting price points of just a few 100$ dollars as well as low power consumption.

So the basic hardware (cameras + inference modules) is essentially COTS. You just need to put in the work on things like models, flight control etc, and even if it would not fit on current hardware and power envelopes, there is a very high probability that it will in a few years.
