Hydrating before some more writing on the podcast’s episodes on the Invasion of Greece later tonight.
They have a vague shifting notion that they move and alter on an hourly basis based on the situation and what they are asked. Eventually the two will align, if only by random chance.
Even if the American leaders get exactly what they want out of this Iran debacle, it will be a pivotal point of study for high tech/low volume vs low tech/high volume in munitions.
These corporate AI offerings suffer from the problem of Time To Delivery and a general lack of continuous improvement. The slow ponderous software orgs do just fine with mature tech, but for something like LLMs where literally every week something is changing their solutions fall behind so fast.
Carriers are the backbone of the fleet! The strongest ships afloat! I can't imagine anything going wrong.
In every median voters brain is the mental conditioning of "Iran is the enemy" fighting against the memories of a generation long military campaign in the Middle East that yielded questionable (at best) results.
I think our TV just died. So my night has started off just great.
The speed with which the US is de-teching itself through the Iran air campaign is impressive. I am sure every other possible adversary is having a good laugh www.war.gov/News/Transcr...
It is interesting to see so many stories already being written about the US stockpiles of some critical munitions running low. Has nobody been watching what has been happening in Ukraine for the last however many years? How many thousands of missiles/drones have been tossed at Ukraine since 2022?
I’m going to take this as a compliment. Sometimes I don’t want to be an American either.
Thinking about what has happened over the the last few hours, I'm honestly just sad that once again the technology, effort, and resources of the world are being used to rain death and destruction down upon people.
People will suffer, people will die, nothing will be accomplished.
The health-guru Reply Guys (or Girls) are the worst.
"But have you considered this very specific blend of herbal tea? What about these specific blue crystals?"
As the father of two young girls who really like having long hair. I need to find somebody who sells detangler by the 55 gallon drum.
He is like that one data point that completely breaks the graph due to how far of an outlier, in a bad way, he is.
I cannot support any list of deficient US WW2 leaders that does not include MacArthur
My answer was going to be Costco hotdog but the pizza works too
Interesting to see everybody realizing how Conservative most hockey players are. Especially those at the Olympics are rich young white dudes, how did you think they were voting? There is a reason there are not any openly gay hockey players.
The Kwangtung Army is such a good historical example to follow. Shouldn't the goal always be to just constantly jump into military quagmires with no clear goal or exit strategy?
At this point it is an American tradition, and traditional American traditions are important to uphold!
So far ahead of his time.
He would have loved LLMs.
He just wanted to do something, didn't seem like success was a requirement. He just wanted to be like the cool kids invading other countries.
It isn't just your students that share that problem. I will get an email every 6 months or so with somebody who wants to debate me about it.
I will never believe in Blue Texas, even when it happens I will assume it was a one time mirage.
It's the hope that kills ya.
Actual history, killing fun stories since the beginning of time.
I have no idea if this is going to be good, seems to be taking a lot of historical liberties. But I salute them for building an entire movie around weather predictions. It is one of those things that people forget how hard it is, and certainly was, during the SWW.
We have become aware of a fraudulent website - ospreypress (dot) com - that is misrepresenting itself as Osprey Publishing. This site is not affiliated with us in any way.
This is exactly what an AI would say ;)
This entire post by @sodrock.bsky.social is good reading, if you have the stomach for more discussion about Bomber Mafia, but I think this quote sums it up for me.

There could be new opportunities, maybe, hopefully?
But given the generally precarious nature that I know a lot of historians have felt for many years now. Not sure those new opportunities will be in the form or of the type that will help.
Making little toy apps, as the articles discusses, can be used for teaching or for novel testing. But building them requires a different skill set, and different desires (even with Claude Code). As the author mentions near the end.
