Say you want to detect aircraft entering airspace. They are difficult to detect with radar, so you want to do it optically. You need decent resolution to capture small drone sized ones, and you need multiple images to help with camouflage, false positives, and determining flight path.

That's a lot of data. The data rate is likely to be the limiting factor on what resolution and how frequently you can image an area. Being able to do the detection on the satellite, and only send reports or images that suggest further investigation is worthwhile, is going to be very useful.

That is unsafe engineering. A failure condition where the presumption is "All Clear" for aircraft entering an airspace.

Neither civilian or military can afford to assume that a space is clear unless told otherwise -the presumption must always be not safe until confirmed clear. The risk from a false negative is too high.

The most serious sounding sales pitch. Here is how you know... "Anthropic is committing up to $100M in usage credits for Mythos Preview across these efforts, as well as $4M in direct donations to open-source security organizations."

The sky is falling, we can help if you pay us.

Only, the Linux kernel maintainers themselves have said the new bug reports are REAL. They aren't slop. Greg said about 1/2 even come with decent patches. He was clear they still have to massage the patches (comments, cleanup) but that the majority of the work is already done.

And where does your loser ass go? Oh, this is a scam! Is Linux a scam? Because if those fucks say the AI is getting better at, not only detecting the bugs, but offering fixes for those very same bugs.. 50% is not a small number.. And it's not like it's going to get WORSE. When won't it be a scam? When it's 90% accurate?

In other words, it's using horrendous amounts of power and causing untold environmental damage, while maintaining the existing overall parity between the bad guys and the worse guys. Got it.

Oh, what doesn't cause "environmental damage" to you morons? You fucks object to EVERYTHING. You know, 'tard-o, they're working on making it more power efficient. It's not like this is the final fucking iteration. You know how many MPG (or KPL) the Model-T got? Or how about the range of the first EVs? We still there?

Who gives a fuck how much power it uses, anyhow? You act like that's a commodity that is in short supply. The only reason it is, is because you fucks also object to building more power-generation capacity. We could (cleanly) generate as much power as we want.. But you fucks object to hydro (oh! the fish!) and you object to solar farms (oh the desert tortoises will have too much shade!).. You're all hypocritical fucks who claim you want to live like the Amish, yet you use PLENTY of power consuming devices / services.. Of course, I bet you don't bitch about the ones you use.

You realize the data-center that houses Slashdot uses copious amounts of power, right? Right?!?

So are you saying the other countries that Iran had a treaty with don't matter? Just takes one? So if any other country backed out instead the treaty is also over? Iran didn't care if they violated a treaty with the others because they couldn't back it up. Either way, it would be crazy to let them have nukes. They just got done slaughtering tens of thousands of protesters. They should have been dealt with decades ago. The comment moderation in this conversation illustrates why Slashdot has died off so bad. Back in the day articles would normally get hundred of comments. Now they're lucky to get three dozen. Plenty of comments that are just outright name calling and mud slinging that get ignored but I get moderated a troll for having a different opinion.

Submission + - The secret, never-before-used CIA tool that helped find airman downed in Iran (nypost.com)

alternative_right writes: The CIA used a futuristic new tool called âoeGhost Murmurâ to find and rescue the second American airman who was shot down in southern Iran, The Post has learned.

The secret technology uses long-range quantum magnetometry to find the electromagnetic fingerprint of a human heartbeat and pairs the data with artificial intelligence software to isolate the signature from background noise, two sources close to the breakthrough said.

I have long said that Hydrogen as a combustible fuel is a poor choice for automotive use but a potential good choice for aeronautical use.*

Good job China for continuing to follow this path. Keep at it, and -maybe- it will work out.

*Reasons include difficulties in production, storage, transport, explosive consequences of fuckups, toxicity of spills, etc. -all of which are easier to mitigate under higher security of aeronautical use than everyday/everywhere automotive use. Current production is from fossil fuels, but production is possible using renewable electricity sources to split water. Weight is less than battery electric (which matters a lot more in a plane than a car).

Due to the Supremacy Clause, the Federal regulations override the State regulations. Once the CFTC stepped in and said "We are regulating this now", the states lost the ability to regulate.

The proper course is to challenge the CFTC regulation. Either in court, or via an act of Congress (yeah...) There is evidence that the CFTC action overstepped its statutory authority in granting a trading license to a market that allows the activities that these prediction markets allow. Make that argument in court. Or get Congress to override (this is the point of the Congressional Review Act)

The Congressional Review Act (CRA), enacted in 1996, is a powerful oversight tool allowing Congress to overturn new federal agency regulations via a joint resolution of disapproval. It enables expedited "fast-track" procedures in the Senate, requiring only a simple majority to repeal rules. ...

its worse than that. more people entering the upper middle class is an indication of the economy doing worse, not better, because of those aforementioned two thirds that are completely screwed if anything goes wrong. it's strange that people would argue against most people being completely fucked by the current system. and not just the americans, but the entire world is fundamentally screwed by the continued existence of money. we will shrug it off eventually, and its gonna be a rough ride until then. good luck, have fun, don't die.

Oh please, regale us with your vast knowledge on the subject...

Worldwide investment in artificial intelligence (AI) is projected to skyrocket to $2.52 trillion in 2026, representing a 44% increase over 2025 levels.

The top five U.S. cloud and AI infrastructure providers (Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle) are expected to spend over $700 billion on AI-related capital expenditure in 2026.

The EU has unveiled a €200 billion AI Action Plan, while Japan has allocated ¥1 trillion annually for AI development.

This high spending is expected to continue, with total AI spending projected to surpass $3.3 trillion in 2027.

You know fuck-all.
