they should route five hundred random queries a week to Mythos Preview and not tell anyone

Lee was a general the same way L Ron Hubbard was a commodore.

It's wild that within that group, Porky is the only one who served. Fudd claims he wanted to, but would've 'punched a DI'

I…we have some of the best healthcare in America and an incredibly generous definition of disability.

Ah, great, now I'm going to have to spend eight hours on here blocking unhinged people who think the DoD wants them or their good for nothing kids. Again, we love the AVF.

I worked with the SES who insisted on the cat.

dad: so whats the deal with the war me: *speaks for 5 min* dad: wow that is an impressive analysis me: thanks I took it from a person I follow online who is a subject matter expert dad: oh whats their name me: They are a cartoon dog wearing underwear as a face mask called Piss Prevail On Earth

Of course they forgot the key maritime terrain…

One true fact about stocks and options is that a large source of the variance in their price is driven by trading.

The NYT reporting and the Chairman’s comments really emphasize destroying Iran’s defense industrial base and that’s the kind of an orthogonal line of effort to opening the Strait.

this is something which, plainly, AI cannot do. journalism is by definition out-of-distribution, and even if you presumed that everyone wanted to read more Claudeprose than people already do, "writing up one's findings" is not the primary job a journalist performs!

Do you know how ableist it is to make fun of people with car crash allusions? People die from collisions at speeds even lower than 100km per hour!

A big takeaway from all this is that Iran's shutting off their internet was a coup for them. A lot of people fell for Iranian propaganda because the ground truth inside Iran wasn't available.

Well, this is what happens when you put Army strategists in charge of a naval campaign for key maritime terrain and they use the Air Force...

the company altman runs has sunk a large amount of money into doing research on “alignment”, with the idea that it would prevent AI from developing the tendencies he exhibits daily

A bunch of tankies are responding to this being like “no we’re just going to believe the Iranian propaganda,” and it’s crazy how you guys want to be lied to as much as MAGA does

Love to drop some blast radii graphics on those well-known targets *checks notes* uh, "Marner Barivar" and "Hiahong Park"

Where’s a Roman when you need them?

To emphasize @bafriedman.bsky.social’s point, I can categorically say that as a former JTAC responsible for figuring out how close you can drop these bombs to friendly forces, that graphic is bullshit.

This thread about the blast radius of bombs is going around but it’s ridiculously inaccurate, which is why quoting and replying are disabled. PSA it’s misinformation slop.

Speaking of Threads, this one got me in the feels.

this made me realize that there's a hidden factor to clever posting: "could you have googled that question?" if the answer is habitually yes, you and everyone in your cluster who want to deal with it are people who are somehow unable to use google. it does not result in seeming clever

See - this is one of those rosetta stone things for the tattoo and everything and it's just complicated. I'm mostly upset because the Marine Corps more or less gutted its own sniper program over these things, and we're going to regret that.

Have you ever managed bathroom passes for a 40 person class of minors for which you are legally responsible for knowing their whereabouts? I'm guessing not. Correct me if you're a high school teacher, but if you aren't I'm guessing you have no idea what you're talking about.

One of the very best from Clickhole

I mean, look. That is not the blast radius of an MK84. That's not even close to being in the realm of the blast radius. Those are blast radii for weapons measured in kt.

I kind of think people underestimate how bad the potshots are. Like for all we know 9% of global petrochem just went down in saudi tonight

I know Kevin, spent time with him, he’s deeply dedicated to the idea that he was one of the great men of history and no one has noticed yet. He’s close friends with Kash Patel. The Qatari Security Service made him wealthy. Yale’s Jackson School afforded him dignity.

vibe coding aside, this is not what's happening? generally Claude is used when *writing* code not when serving requests. I hate this shit but also it does behoove you to know how it works.

Pluralize a movie: Oceans’ 11

it's hard to believe, but before AI existed all internet infrastructure had 100% uptime

I know we're all watching the news in terror or at least waiting for the market to crash through the floor, but one thing I appreciate about this war is that it's shown a small number of hard-to-find assholes at a maritime chokepoint with guided munitions can put a superpower's balls in a vise.

Just a smol bean out for a walk looking for my friend (a skydiver)

So this is a problem with taking a headline and assuming that it is a 100% accurate representation of what happened and then extrapolating from that.

“I never thought Elon would muffle *my* legitimate news sources” says guy who uses the “Elon muffles legitimate news sources” app.

What about the political dynamics of this universe suggests we can think any number of steps ahead successfully?

I found a style guide for writing from the air force academy officer training program while cleaning out some folders. It’s decades old, encourages simple language, like not using “fatuous numbskull” when “jerk” will do

sociology book quotes that sound like Disco Elysium:

Nearly 46 years after the failure of Operation Eagle Claw (April 24-25, 1980) our military apparently pulled off something similar. Although, two C-130s having to be destroyed sure is reminiscent. History really does rhyme. Glad all our servicemembers involved are safe.

Barely related to your point but always funny/ironic to me was the disconnect of “you are the tip of the spear/warfighters” and “here’s the list of scary places not to go to off base” that regular Americans live in every day.

the worst part of this is how little people have upgraded their heuristics on New York from the 70s. "There's so much crime there!" Dude, you have no idea what you are talking about.

Yeah AP‘s style guide wich NYT uses a modified form of is very clear when possible don’t quote expletives directly unless you can not write it any other way. Not the style guides fault for people being on the verge of illiterate.

Do people not know what "expletive laden" means?

There are some days where the memes just have to stay in the groupchats.

I’m relieved all hands were recovered. Airframes are replaceable. Wishing all a peaceful Sunday.

This is a willingly foolish read of CSAR - pilots aren't rescued because they are worth more than others.

F-15 WSO recovered alive. Was escaping and evading. Massive fire fight on tgt. Iranians were actively looking for him in the area.
