I thought that the “negotiations” were pretty much just between the US and Russia, and Ukraine was being more or less ignored by them both now?

It’s conceptually very close to the French je ne sais quoi

It’s crazy, because Ukrainians were treated (as an ethnic group) like absolute shit in the RSFSR (“Russia-proper”, as it was a part of the USSR), and not just as a matter of societal prejudice. There’s a legacy multiple centuries long of Russia brutalizing, ethnically cleansing, and trying to culturally destroy Ukraine. Ukrainians are just to beautifully stubborn to let it stick.

I really do think you’re front-loading an ethical matter that has absolutely zero relevance to our current society. I fucking ADORE The Measure of a Man - it’s one of my all-time favorite TNG episodes - but the use of LLMs and image/vidgen as disinformation/propaganda generators is a clear and present danger to our society as it now stands, and regulation needs to be imposed if we don’t want to have the public sphere of knowledge and common understanding fed entirely into the wood chipper (and it’s already halfway in there, tbh)

They are.

Had an argument with a more junior member of my team on Friday. I described the ethical, environmental, and CS-domain-related objections I have to LLMs. His response was that “it’s just another tool in the toolbox” (my opinion: yes and no, and I could write a doctoral thesis on the “no” part)

Sorry for the link from The Other Site, but I thought this was too good to pass up. This is attitude is one of the main reasons I love this city so much. When the chips are down, we don’t fuck around. No tolerance or quarter for fascist bigots.

Government websites now no longer mention perhaps the single most selfless, incredible, and strategically significant coordinated effort by a community of First Nation military personnel in service to a country that did worse than nothing to deserve their loyalty - and yet they played, and succeeded in, a pivotal role that literally helped win the pacific campaign.

Any veterans on here: I really do hope you’re furious at this.

PLAN's new amphibious landing support vessels (youtu.be)
 

It’s a very obvious solution once you take a look at what a lot of their coastline looks like. Elevated armor delivery. Skip the beach. Dump ‘em’ straight on the coastal roads. Makes a shocking amount of sense. Definitely much more specific of a use case than the more general purpose landing support vessels that the USN/USMC employs, but for their primary missions and targets in the next decade, this is exactly the hardware that will significantly increase the CCP’s chances.

This is the an evolution of the combined arms amphibious assault tactics that the US has refined for the better part of a century. For heavily built up targets - specifically those that need to be assaulted and captured quickly for any reasonable chance of success (read: Taiwan + establishing a foothold on the island), this is PERFECT. This basically lets you dump 1000 tanks and a ton of IADS and 100k infantrymen in like, an hour.

That’s a paradigm shift right there.

The most crediblest D-30 howitzer ERA tiles (sopuli.xyz)

Russian D-30 howitzer with anti-drone protection and ERA.

https://t.me/yigal_levin/69976

👀Russian D-30 howitzer with anti-drone screen and dynamic tank protection. Dynamic protection, in essence, is blocks of plastic that explode towards the cumulative stream of anti-tank ammunition and deflect it to the side. Placing this protection on anything other than the powerful armor of a tank is fraught with even greater damage to the “protected” object. Published by Balu.
