Isn’t it though? When AI is used against the people and fake media is used to cover up war crimes, what’s not to stop there? When your feeds have been polluted with outside foreign influencers that you explode from within, what’s not to stop there? It’s war alright. Just not the kind of war Spielberg thinks would make a great film.
I’m aware there’s a genocide in sudan but i’m not aware of entire cities being leveled in this fashion. there have been other conflicts where more people have died, but rarely is there a conflict where the entire world government apparatus appears to stand against 2 million people mostly women and children in contradiction to the democratic will of almost the entire world
it takes a lot of money and firepower to do what they’ve done to gaza. it is an affectation of enormous wealth and callousness against a nearly defenseless population
i will say though that sri lankans said that some of these tactics were pioneered against the tamil tigers in more recent history
Jesus I can't tell if this comment is a joke or peak techbro arrogance.
I think your mind would break if you tried to learn what goes into modern drug design, like quantum chemistry.
Statistical analysis was basically invented to solve problems in psychology and biology, like measuring intelligence and understanding genetic inheritance.
Pretty much all the advancement in the computer industry is on the hardware side. Software engineering is the most immature field of them all.
Oh for sure - I didn't really consider software development because I barely consider it a practice - it literally slipped my mind. I refuse to call it software "engineering" because there's not a single real engineer in the field lol.
edit: I should clarify that I did indeed only mean computer hardware - that shit is incredible, and built by actual engineers. Imagine how incredible software could be if we had real engineers there, too.
> How do you audit that the issuer is printing coins backed 1-to-1 by USD reserves?
You’re asking the wrong question, since DAI isn’t backed 1:1 by USD reserves like fiat-backed stablecoins (e.g., USDC). It’s a decentralized crypto-collateralized stablecoin—it’s backed by a variety of assets, including cryptocurrencies and real-world assets, with mechanisms to ensure over-collateralization.
I’m on mobile and it’d take forever to explain the entire protocol to you here, so I recommend you read the white paper [0] if you’re interested in understanding how it all works.
According to BBC Persian (quoting Israeli sources) and many Israeli media , the IAF flew "hundreds" of sorties over Iranian airspace on that eventful night in October.
The reporting is that they were F35s though, not F15.
Iran's air defence system is based on the older Russian S300, which is incapable of detecting them.
Of course it wasn't that long ago that Iran was flying F14s and had complete air superiority over its neighbours. How the times have changed.
We also now know that the Israelis had informed the Iranians just before the attack through diplomatic channels of the impending attack, and that it would only contain specific military objectives.
Is the S300 just that useless? Possible. Did the Iranians decide to not respond and to "take one on the chin" in order to avoid a cycle of ever increasing conflict? Maybe. Had espionage already disabled Iran's air defence system? Also possible. We probably won't know for another 100 years.
Yeah, I don't think the strike on Iran shed as much light on this question as I'd originally thought it might, but it still seems clearly to be the case that air defense is not a big part of the Axis of Resistance strategy. Ansar Allah fought an open war against Saudi Arabia in the mid-late 2010s, during which the Royal Saudi Air Force routinely flew over Houthi-held territory, and so far as I know they've never verifiably shot a flight down.
Again, I think the most useful model here is Lebanon. Hezbollah has a desultory complement of SAM launchers, but no meaningful control over its airspace.
Oh yes that's just absolutely fanciful boasting by the Houthis.
The Houthis were probably not far off from claiming to have shot down the Ingenuity chopper which NASA lost on Mars . In reality they can't shoot down a Cessna 172.
I'm reading conflicting reports, but let's stipulate that; I don't think it makes any difference to the point I'm making. The better, clearer example is Lebanon, which hosts the crown jewel of the IRGC's proxy forces, and which doesn't have even a pretense of modern anti-aircraft defense. What would the point be? These are territories and militaries without meaningful air forces; they have already defaulted away air superiority. Their strategy is for that not to matter.
> Unfortunately the way campaigns market it causes many people to think it benefits ladies only.
That's a pretty diplomatic way to say that they pretty much don't care about men being affected. In my region the vaccine is free for women but men have to pay despite >40% of cancers caused being in men and nobody even informs you of that.
