So you are going to see the following cope

Coper: But it's sensors are so low end it will never be reliable enough. Response: We can use AI to make up for low quality sensors, we can add a camera if we want it to be as reliable as self driving cars for a small amount of money Coper: AI what a joke that doesn't work Response: It's live in production Coper: But you can't fit a big enough payload Response: Lets see

Agreed this style of making money may have made sense when the world was more Sane but there’s no way to penny pinch yourself into a house in 2026

Having a missile boat which can cross the pacific without an oiler is a must if we want to bring anything to the pacific.

i'm glad we have a wing that's against gab app store. Can we have one that's for them for balance?

At first glance this seems crazy. But what a battleship with a gun so powerful, that it can shoot down everything. Having a nuclear powered vessel that can shoot a railgun and laser might be battleship in size

New comment by alexnewman in "How China built its ‘Manhattan Project’ to rival the West in AI chips"

alexnewman — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 10:28:11 +0000

All of the US military is a waste including 6th generation fighters. We hope china copies our disinformation campaign. In fact as the usa has been taken apart almost all of our big secrets are just disinformation

- stealth (not really) - aliens (sure....) - 6th gen jets (where are the jets?)

The reality is that everything that you do in peacetime is just to scare the enemy and will have very little effect in war. Since the US doesn't have as much industrial capacity the only winning war is nuke from space first or learn to get along

alexnewman — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 11:25:25 +0000

My wife did a lot of conversations with kids in Australia. They all said they hate social media and regularly get harassed by Asian criminal gangs trying to blackmail them. They support the law cause they were only there cause they felt they had to be. We freed these children . The Australian internet is far more dangerous than the USA

I've been developing open source code for over 25 years. i've deployed hugely complicated systems like hadoop. I've never seen anything as hard to run as this + the bridges.

I’ve never trusted signal. Signal desktop does not seem reproducible . It’s not clear to me how its infrastructure is deployed. The servers buffer messages to a large degree

Let’s keep it simple. What physics or engineering is easier? Let us ignore mathematics for its own sake . If you can’t show use there … id argue it’s our math aesthetics that are wrong

I studied math for a long time. I’m convinced math would be better without infinity. It doesn’t exist. I also think we don’t need numbers too big . But we can leave those
