this is pretty dang cool!
The forthcoming Wraith Shield software update uses the existing antenna to scan for drone control signals, identify enemy ones, and jam them, L3Harris executives told reporters.

Indeed, that really
IS the problem with AI!
AI is NOT a truth-teller. It is no more reliable than a written op-ed piece. It is merely a new way to write opinions. So please, don’t be snookered into thinking that somehow what comes out of this computer is truth. It isn’t. And it always reflects the personal biases and desires and intentions of the programmer/writer.
It’s actually nothing new in terms of truth–value. It’s just an editorial. It’s dangerous in the sense that it has the appearance or patina of truth, but is in fact merely another way to editorialize.
It’s just a very complex record player. It plays the tune that it was programmed to play. And it was programmed by a human being with biases and preferences. Be careful not to lose sight of that!

A scammer self-
identifies! It turns out that there are some things that, as of yet, AI just does not do very well. And thus they can be unmasked.
For now, anyway.

It’s pretty stinkin’
awesome! The war-fighting technology is getting dang advanced. But they need to arm this with a “discombobulator.”
An Air Force F-22 Raptor pilot had an in-flight “talk” with his drone wingman during a just-revealed test mission at Edwards Air Force base, bringing us one step closer to our fighter pilots flying into action with a cohort of AI-powered jets.

An idea that you
don’t hear much is that AI is neither the harbinger of a dystopia, nor a marker of a utopia.
What it is is a truly liberating technology. Even right now, when you go to the doctor, whether it be a physician or psychologist or whatever, that practitioner can listen intently to you and not pay attention to notes. Why? Because of AI. Their AI scribe records the session, and takes good notes. The practitioner is thus freed to actually treat and interact with PEOPLE, not to be a mere technician frantically defending against legal liability.
I remember how my sister would call me all despondent and even crying because she would stay up until after midnight every night doing chart notes, and yet still kept falling behind. She would try to catch up on the weekends.
She could not just treat and help these people with hemophilia who had gone to her, she had to remember what had gone on and then go create notes for each patient after the clinic closed. And on weekends. Honestly, it was hell.
But now there are AI scribes. What an AI scribe does is allow the practitioner to focus on treatment, not on documentation. And people are far better off for it. Practitioners can focus on the patient (which likely is why they went into medicine in the first place–radiologists excepted, of course), not on the upcoming note. And, SURPRISE!, that makes treatment better. For everyone.
That is just one example. There are many others.

Yeah, that’s
pretty dang funny!
Fighting only looks on the surface to be all about technology. As has been said, it is actually mainly about people.

You know, this
sounds pretty dang good. If it works, that would be great.
PowerLight Technologies has completed development and testing of a new wireless power system that uses lasers to recharge aircraft while they are flying, as part of a project backed by the US military to increase the time drones can remain in the air.
It makes a whole heckuva lot of sense for drones.

US technology
takes a flying leap unto the future. This represents a HUGE increase in computing power.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced that the company will build seven supercomputers for the Department of Energy with up to 100,000 chips all made in America. Huang said, “The first thing that President Trump asked me is, ‘bring manufacturing back.’”

I can’t recommend
Yes, yes. I have had one for a few years now, and I will never go back. But we need to understand that they are a boon for the disabled. Anyone who has balance issues would be far better off to use something like this.
And women who are menstruating or who are shortly after giving birth? These toilets would be a huge help. And it means that these women would be far more comfortable and happy.
Many of us who have elderly parents would be well to make sure that they have this kind of a toilet. I mean, do you really want them standing up and trying to wipe? Not only is this more hygienic and comfortable, but it is also far safer.
You can get a bidet toilet seat for a small fraction of the cost of an entire toilet. My own experience is that they are cheapest at COSTCO.com, but YMMV.

Yep, things just
keep getting better and better from a space flight perspective. Look, you can really learn a lot from “failure” in this endeavor. But this time, they were forced to learn from success.
