Why do you believe those "AI detectors" are accurate? The past evaluations I've seen came to a different conclusion.

And before you complain about LPCAMM2 being much slower than the high-bandwidth RAM on the CPU package: It's perfectly fine to design a system with a non-uniform memory access paradigm, treating the memory behind the LPCAMM2 interface as a RAM disk. That way you have 8 GB of high-bandwidth DRAM swapping to 16+ GB of somewhat lower-bandwidth DRAM, and the soldered-in SSD lasts longer because it doesn't have to (ab)use its intake buffer to hold the swap file.

The US *has* been letting them do stupid stuff. Sometimes they get push-back.

I vaguely remember hearing of something like that at the time...so I guess the report is accurate.

My question is "How will they implement it?". And a secondary question of "Is that what they're really going to attempt?".

It's not premature. It's either unneeded, or "they should have done this a few years ago". And we won't know which for several years.

Remember, it's not only stuff that can be broken instantly. Coded messages can be recorded, and then broken when it's interesting/convenient.

The motive would be to insult the Russians.

That's possible. My guess was that Glasswing detected a backdoor that the feds had insisted be inserted into some, or much, of the popular commercial software.

Odd. My first suspect was either Ukrainians or some of their sympathizers.

Are they planning on using a hypergolic fuel? If not, I wouldn't expect there to be much explosion risk.

It's NOT the opposite. Both sides are doing it.

If it's still going up, it probably has a very eccentric orbit, and so will decay more quickly. But, yeah, it would be nice if there were some way to solve the problem. All I can think of is shooting the small pieces with lasers to vaporize them.

Orbits don't work that way. If something is in orbit, and you hit it hard, one end of the orbit will go high, and the other end will go low. And it will go through the point of impact once in every orbit. (I think "point of impact" means "some point on the original orbit", but it may be more specific.)

We have VASTLY different ideas of "beautiful".

I'm sorry, but Trump really isn't the worst president possible. The worst since 1780 possibly.
