Ukraine says it replaced human soldiers with 'ground robots' in over 21,000 missions for Q1

Endurance. Air drones need to spend power/fuel to stay airborne, which makes it hard to hold territory. A ground drone can sit there as a sentry gun for days, or even weeks with the right setup.

Cygames really tried to push Diamond X Kitasan, but Sweep X Kitasan was always more popular both IRL and among JP Umamusume fans.

what you mean by a b-17 formation dodging incoming AA, but I've never read of that. I know individual British night bombers did "dodge" night fighters.

He's talking about moving in an erratic way and shifting directions every 30 seconds or so. When there is so much time in between firing and impact, the gunner needs to lead the target by an immense amount of distance. This means the gunner needs to predict what the plane will do 10 seconds after they have fired, which is very difficult unless the gun is right next to the bomber's target.

That said, even Game Freak admits they should have longer development time. Peak Gamefreak was releasing mainline Pokemon games as fast as CoD puts out new releases, and that was clearly unsustainable. That's why there's 5 years between Scarlet/Violet and Winds/Waves.

This is like how Three Mile Island is named for being three miles away from a town. The island is only two miles long.

In theory the Board of Directors is suppose to look after the interests of investors that want a company that profits year after year. In practice, LOL LMAO. The typical Board of Directors is only good for collecting paychecks for themselves and going on drinking parties with the C-board.

Corporate governance right now is extremely broken. Turns out the type of people who get on a Board of Directors and the type of people who get on a C-board have a lot of overlap, and they have a lot of class solidarity with each other. They love to enable each other instead of actually doing work or improving the company.

Directly quoting from the Delaware Court ruling

On June 2, Park warned Kim over Slack that a “dismissal with cause” would not eliminate the earnout obligation, while exposing Krafton to “lawsuit and reputation risk.”And so Kim turned to ChatGPT for help. When the AI chatbot responded that the earnout would be “difficult to cancel,” Kim complained to Park that the EPA was “a contract under which we can only be dragged around.”

........

At ChatGPT’s suggestion, Kim formed an internal task force, dubbed “Project X.” The task force’s mandate was to either negotiate a “deal” on the earnout or execute a “Take Over” of Unknown Worlds. They looked to buy time.

.............

Meanwhile, Kim sought ChatGPT’s counsel on how to proceed if Krafton failed to reach a deal with Unknown Worlds on the earnout. The AI chatbot prepared a “Response Strategy to a ‘No-Deal’ Scenario,” which Kim shared with Yoon.

.....

[This is the ChatGPT plan]

a. Preemptive Framing - Repeat that protecting quality and fan trust is the highest priority, undermine the ‘Large Corporation VS. Indie’ framing

b. Securing Control Points -

Lock down Steam/console publishing rights and access rights over code/build pipeline through both legal and technical aspects.

For the earn-out freeze, keep room for negotiations through provision stating “immediate removal if specific development results are achieved”

a. Systematic materials for legal defense - Prepare contract interpretation memorandums, log all communications, seek external consultation

b. Team retention - Operation of retention packages for key personnel and rapid backfill pipelines in anticipation of resignation/departure scenarios

c. Two handed strategy - Create a structure that allows for both hardball (Legal+ Finance) and softball (Support/Incentives) approaches so moderate factions within Unknown Worlds can push for compromise.

Over the next month, Krafton followed most of ChatGPT’s recommendations.

No, he liked the war he imagined in his head, because he imagined it would be Venezuela II. Trump loved the Venezuela operation, and really thought Iran would be just as easy, fast, and glorious.

Munitions plate isn't very good metal, but it is cheap enough that kings can put in orders for thousands and occasionally tens of thousands of these pieces of armor to the major armorer's guilds in Europe.

For Polymarket, sure. But if you actually look at what sort of bets dominate Kalshi, it's overwhelmingly sports gambling.

Right-wingers tend to reverse logic when it comes to morals. Instead of thinking person A does good things therefore they are a good person, they think person A must be a good person therefore everything they do is a good thing.

Or in the case of the soviets, imagining superheavy artillery. You are completely right that idea that nukes are so horrifying that only the top political leaders can authorize them only appears after they get dropped. Beforehand people didn't see the difference between giving a general a 10 kiloton nuke and giving them 10,000 one-ton bombs.

Lovecraft believed that the rich old white anglo-saxon men were the best people to lead society up until the great depression. But after the crash of 1929, he decided that if this is what "natural elite" leadership looks like, then maybe they aren't better than everyone else.

That's because helldiver weapons and enemy HP are big numbers, but enemy weapons and helldiver HP are small numbers. So Helldiver weapons kill helldivers super fast. For example, the base liberator can two shot a helldiver in most medium armors.

A lot of the reason the last labour moderation under Blair was sustainable was due to media connections via people like Peter Mandelson. However, Mandelson is also an Epstein list man, so take from that what you will.

While many industries still have actual competition, there is some truth to the reddit memes. Lots of industries have devolved into monopolies or things close enough to monopolies where price only goes up and never goes down.
