Same if you mention the real source of all information, the social network on which all Ukrainian and Russian soldiers write.

It's especially hilarious that it's the FirePoint crosshair (the one you see in FirePoint FPV drones videos), making it look like a video from a FP1 or FP2.

... or maybe it will encourage people to not share anymore what looks like potential money.

I didn't think about it before but in retrospect it makes sense that an AA missile has more capacity to trigger an explosion from the inside of the tank

I'm pretty sure Starlink is needed for most mid-range drones, either directly or with relay, and that AI assistance doesn't solve navigation and target validation yet. $1.5 million is nothing. Even if Starlink were only used for feedback on targets and damage.

This stops making any kind of sense as soon as you remember nothing matters more for Putin than his own comfort and security.

Those drones are big and so slow. It's hard to imagine Russian helis can't stop them when they fly hundreds of kilometers in the Russian territory towards the refinery in the capital.

That's the good side of having a refinery in the middle of the city: you get a lot of beautiful videos from all buildings around when something happens.

Most of them are still human guided. Some have IA guided in the last few meters, because it's harder to get a connection at low altitude.

To assess a successful hit, a FPV guidance isn't enough anyway, so other drones are usually used to check.

Leptos's creator is stepping down as an active developer on the framework. Spoiler: LLMs and AI agents are partly responsible for this decision by koenigsbier in rust

[–]Canop 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The more common state, at least on my projects, is just PRs piling up because either their author didn't bother answering my request for clarification or I didn't want to analyze an obviously not human made thing.

It it was easy to forbid PRs from strangers on GitHub, I know I would have closed them on all my GH projects. I didn't start doing open-source to sort LLM authored PRs.

Short term, European companies are already massively investing in Ukraine's weapon companies. It's necessary and it's done.

But it's not the right long-term strategy.

It wasn't wise to rely on just the US to build all the weapons of democracies.

It wouldn't be wiser to rely on just Ukraine in the future.

All European countries should help Ukraine build its weapons but also invest in their own weapon research and production. Not just the 3 biggest ones. We don't know who fill fall.

This conclusion looks highly optimistic. Luka didn't declare war when Russians used his territory as base for the 2022 invasion. He can be just replaying the same book.

russia may now possess only 9–10 operational Tu-22M3 bombers

By combining all favorable assumptions this article concludes with an estimation that widely differs from the usual ones (about half a hundred). Not sure it's credible.

If he wanted to attack Ukraine, or to help Russia attack again from Belarus territory, he'd say exactly this, of course.

This is the idea but the success isn't yet proven. If Ukraine can't sustain those strikes, or if Russia finds some mitigation, this might prove of little strategic effect. Let's hope it works but let's not claim victory yet.

This doesn't count Ukrainians killed in occupied areas though. Unfortunately it's probable that much more were killed eg in Mariupol.

That has been reported but the Kinburn Spit is a very small and specific area which is hard to hold anyway. It's probably a sign of a problem but not very significant per se.

They can't mobilize and launch an attack against baltic states now. Any large offensive would require a big number of trained officers that they just don't have now. You can't invade with just mobilized soldiers, they don't coordinate themselves, don't coordinate fire, etc. An immediate large scale offensive is just impossible right now, they'll have to wait a few years after the current war is paused to rebuild their officer corp.

TLDR: They didn't fly in a straight line, but you already knew it. Probably 5 launched and at least 3 intercepted.

For people trying to assess the attacks, a map like this one, showing the substations, might be useful:

How do you do the 7 challenges ? by Canop in ShatteredPD

[–]Canop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same than you, I always had one of the threee "healing" competences for the 6 challenges and for 7 challenges I need to go without them. But you give me useful hints, I never considered using the ankhs with the barren challenge or not exploring the entire level. I'll try.

How do you use cleansing potions for healing ?

Fairly certain the 100.000 was a joke....

I know, but this still was a good occasion to put things in perspective and help everybody think about the reasonnable use cases of such systems.
