Cyber as a counter offensive from Iran would require pre-existent positioning and targeted coordination. Cyber support to kinetic ops ainโ€™t easy. Saw this also during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The US seem to have pulled it off in Venezuela. Highly focused and planned. The opposite of Iran rn.

Shouldnโ€™t we rebrand LLMs as Large Language Manipulators? Not a joke.

Air power experts: I am interested in writing something that looks at sixth-gen combat air programmes around the world. In terms of design, technology, size, cost, range, capability trade-offs: what are they converging on, how are they diverging, & why? Thoughts & reading recommendations welcome.

Shouldnโ€™t we just settle for an half an hour offset between DST and solar all year round and never think of this again. Srsly though.

A cosa ti riferisci? Non vivo in Italia da parecchio, ma di Udine non me preoccupavo certo.

Currently experimenting with JITR (Just-in-Time Recovery). It's when symptoms from a heavily debilitating illness fade away leaving room to health euphoria, right before an important deadline with multiple submissions. ๐Ÿงช

Buying the dip, or was it all just chaos and not a fundamental concern of the market?

Striking how this column is largely whining and absolutely ZERO explanation of how the tariffs are in any way related to or risolutive of the cause of the whining. For an FT column, Iโ€™d say know your audience a bit better. On the other hand ofc it can also be thereโ€™s nothing to say about that.

Looking forward to Apple reconsidering that planned obsolescence thing they used to do.

I actually think this might be the only meaningful global response. Trumpโ€™s idiocy is rooted in a belief that everybody needs the US, but the US donโ€™t need anybody. It can be proven false real quick.

At least he made a prediction of kinds. Something he can be called up on. So far afaik there were zero KPIs to evaluate the outcome of the decision.

I made an AI notice that the second reference it provided in its answer is irrelevant to its argument. The AI said sorry for the oversight, and corrected its answer by renumbering reference number two to number one.

If she goes to jail remains to be seen, but surely wonโ€™t run for office in the coming round. How this leaves the French political scenario I am not sure, her second is very young and Macron cannot run again.

I theorize thereโ€™s a positive correlation between aging and excitement to get back home.

Surely somebodyโ€™s already proven it, but apparently only now I am aging sufficiently to notice.
