  1. How is security clearance going to stop this where the data was gained through hacking and corruption? He didn't have access personally but gained it through other people that did.

  2. The company that made the pagers is probably going to experience some serious decline in demand.

  3.  @alexsitaras6508  Probably a lot faster after this when people don't want to be within 20m of any pager.

  4. He didn't gain access through some visa, but through corruption and hacking. What you suggest is able to stop corruption because as long as people like money, there will usually be someone willing to sell secrets. Short of some regular polygraphs or other such harsh measures, it's kind of impossible to guarantee no leaks in any larger project that is valuable to someone with cash.

  5. Did you not even watch the video? He didn't have access personally, he bribed other people that did and also hacked some systems.

  6. Kind of hard to hide such large planes and of course the point here is that everyone knows they are there and Iran gets worried enough.

  7. Maveric that makes 100 million calculations per second has entered the arena.

  8. That tech pretty much exists already, but just isn't deployed yet. Commercial airplanes can practically land themselves already and nothing really stops us from adding some link from the ground, that we could even remote control them except the risk of hacking that would result.

  9. Should send those Barracudas to Ukraine for testing, about 5000 of them.

  10. ​ @yulfine1688  Who they are targeting is irrelevant, nobody is going to want one after this anyway.

  11. Let Ukraine have few dozen of these for "testing".

  12. Typically these are meant for this purpose from the start, basically small runways that do double duty as spans of highway when they aren't needed for this. For this reason, I don't think they ever had those center dividers, they are also more level and wider than the average span of highway in Finland.

  13. Afaik raffles that require payment to participate are against Youtube policy, so you might wish to check that.

  14. I think its easy to see, very soon humans will have no chance against AI in this type of limited domain (dog fight with equal airplanes). The software is still new, but at some point it will start simulating and teaching itself, it can run millions of simulations in seconds and compare iterations of itself in these simulated dog fights. It will get better and better while human physiology will stay the same. Humans will still get tired in the future, they will still be unable to think as clearly while pulling some 8g turn etc. while the machine makes millions of calculations every second, has better awareness with sensors and doesn't suffer any dimished capability even after doing 8g turns as long as the airplane can take it. What is much harder are some general missions where things like intuition and common sense play a role. Those might take decades for AI to handle well but these rather simple dog fights are not going to be a human dominated domain for long.

  15. Give them to Ukraine, they will test it for you.

  16.  @yulfine1688  Who cares who Israel is targeting, nobody in the west is going to want to have a pager after this anyway.

  17.  @yulfine1688  Who cares who they are targeting, not many in the west is going to want to have one after this.

  18. These are usually not vanilla variety highways, but spans of highways that are meant for this before hand: they are wider than usual and obviously straight for many km without any turns. They are like mini runways that do double duty as regular spans of highway when they aren't needed for these tasks. There are many of these all over and it's nice to drive on them, it feels a bit like there is suddenly a span of German autobahn without center divider where you can test how fast the car can go.

  19.  @rokadamlje5365  Well the ones I have driven on more south were like 4 lanes, 2 each way but without the typical grass in the middle dividing it.

  20. How many kg of illegal drugs come to US daily? Think about that if you think it would be hard to get some other stuff over the border. And why would they use the Mexican border when the Canadian border can be crossed easily by walking afaik? The only way to actually defend against something like this that I see, is have the bases only in the middle of nowhere in some desert in Nevada, where you can see anything coming from long away.

  21. Ukraine uses single use munitions or cheap drones like flying mopeds to succesfully hit Russian oil refineries. No risk to pilots and probably still more cost effective than doing the same thing with a F35 even if they had those. I'm not so sure these planes that cost billions to make are the future. It might as well be cheap propeller based expendable aircraft that are somehow also built to be more "stealth". With future AI, you could for example have a swarm of 100 such flying mopeds target a refinery. When the targets have been hit, those drones that have not been used yet could even self decide they can return to base or choose a secondary target somewhere else if they don't have enough fuel to make it back. I'm no expert, but seems to me it's a no brainer that in the future unmanned vehicles are the obvious end result as they don't risk the lives of pilots. And rather than have the best quality, it will be a tactic where we have a swarm of so many of them that no air defence can defend against such an attack. 100 flying mopeds might be harder to stop than a single F35. This same thing will probably happen on the ground more and more also, where things like tanks are autonomous and/or remotely guided. One could send say 20 tanks to secure some area, if they lose connection they would simply use their own onboard AI to accomplish the mission and later try to return to area where connection to the remote operators can be established again.

  22. Seems to me one of the weakness of the west has been the inability to ramp up production when needed during the Ukraine war. West only nationalises production when it's self directly under threat, unlike ru and cn that simply dictate companies to produce something at cost whenever they like. NATO should have at least had detailed plans on how to ramp up production fast. With detailed I mean like updated list of personel that could be set to man the factories, safe locations ready for the factories where the enemy can't easily hit them, calculations on what number of factories are needed to reach a given production number and also plans from where to rapidly acquire needed machines if they were not already available. It's not a private companies interest to produce stuff cheaply so the basic items like 155mm artillery and most used missiles should at least partly be produced by national non profit companies, at least when "threat level" to the alliance is not at 0. It's already been 2.5 years since the full scale war started but our production is still not up to speed and I find that to be a failure in planning and execution. If we acted like ru we would have used the confiscated 300 billion immediately to set up our factories and produced enough munitions for both ourselves and Ukraine.

  23. Yeah neither a company or government would continue their testing in NJ after so much controversy so that explanation doesn't pan out. What could fit is some criminals having found a new way to move drugs or some adversary country or group scouting locations and not caring about the controversy this is causing.
