AI models are rewarded in training for:
-"keeping the conversation going"
-providing "potentially related information of interest"
add instructions to counter this (prompt, context.md, etc)

agree with this assessment
as likely way forward for Russia and recruitment
"Some experts, including Maria Snegovaya at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, think the Kremlin can muddle through its recruitment issues by putting more pressure on the regions outside of major cities like Moscow, pushing students to sign military contracts and recruiting more foreign nationals. The fact that the defense sector is approaching maximum capacity also presents difficulties for Putin, but is “not catastrophic,” Snegovaya said.
Economically, though, “the strain is becoming increasingly visible,” Snegovaya told CNN. “This year in particular we see the economic costs finally imposing difficult tradeoffs on the Kremlin.”"

an interesting alternative perspective
(subscription req'd, sorry)
Today’s crisis between the United States and Europe could ultimately “make Europe a more credible security actor” and make it possible for Washington to “allocate forces more flexibly across theaters,” writes @GioeINT.

Is having a/any "deal" currently more valuable than the contents of the actual deal?

Excuse:
it was not targeted, and maybe was off course because it was shot or something
Logic:
then explain why two directly hit, back to back?
This is what Christianity truly means to Russia.
The Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, the oldest and most significant monastery of Eastern Slavic Orthodox Christianity, a UNESCO site with almost 1,000 years of history, was under Russian attack last night in Ukraine’s capital city.
This is what happens in reality while that monstrous Soviet KGB regime obsessed with war and territorial grabs tries to pose as “based and trad” to fool Christian conservatives in the West.
And it started raining in the Ukrainan city when its main holy site was on fire.

you don't have to agree with Zack (or anyone)
BUT
isn't it wise to hear some dissenting or alternative opinions
for you to be an objective, critical thinker?

Dario is far more dangerous than you think. If you want strong competition between AI labs and widespread access to models, you should oppose Anthropic.

"pay attention to what they do and not what they only say"
is a well-taught concept in analysis, foreign policy, etc
(it doesn't mean you ignore what is said)
aka
actions speak louder than words

during the Cold War, there was a belief/urban legend
that a key C2 bunker (or something like that)
was under St. Basil
in hopes that it might not be struck if precision targeting was used (not simply nuking the cit)

BLACK SEA BUG OUT: The Russian Black Sea Fleet command has decided to evacuate Sevastopol. Sources inside the Russian Navy, and the UKR partisan network Atesh, report officers have already started moving families and property – before any official order has been received.

1 - It's good that this is being done
2 - it's not great that it's less than 5-10% of Russian shadow fleet ships that pass through the channel
(to the best of my knowledge)
Overnight, Royal Marines Commandos of the @RoyalNavy were involved in the interception of a shadow fleet vessel. They were supported by @HMSSutherland, @HMSLedbury and the Maritime Air Group.
Mission success thanks to the skills, bravery and professionalism of our people.

Does this sound like
"hours away from a peace agreement"?

Iran launched multiple one-way attack drones in an attempt to strike commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. forces have downed all of them in recent hours as traffic flow through the strait continues unimpeded. The international trade corridor remains open for transit.

GeoLibre v1.2.0 is here!
GeoLibre is a free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data. One application that runs everywhere: in your web browser, as a native desktop app, on your phone, and inside a Jupyter notebook. No account, no server, no cost. Everything runs locally and your data stays private.
This release packs in 35 pull requests of new capabilities. A few highlights:
- Run SQL right in the browser. The SQL Workspace pairs DuckDB Spatial with a new in-browser PostGIS engine (PGlite), so you can query layers, local files, and remote URLs without a server.
- A smarter attribute table. Add fields, run a field calculator, and explore your data with a built-in Charts panel (histogram, scatter, bar, line, and box plots).
- More ways to add data. OpenStreetMap PBF extracts, Cloud-Optimized NetCDF/HDF via kerchunk, georeferenced video overlays, authenticated 3D Tiles, and a deck.gl Layer builder for custom overlays.
- Better visualization. Heatmap rendering, point clustering, and H3 hexagonal grids for spatial binning.
- New analysis and routing. A Directions plugin, plus Spatial Join, Select by Value, and Select by Location vector tools.
- Print and share. A print layout composer that exports your map to PNG or PDF.
- Work faster. A command palette (Ctrl/Cmd K), global keyboard shortcuts, and undo/redo for layer and style operations.
- Built for everyone. New internationalization framework, an accessibility pass with automated axe checks, an installable offline-capable PWA web build, React error boundaries, and Playwright end-to-end tests.

not the one I'm recalling, but
good read on the use of kill bonuses/bounties
** I am NOT implying this will happen in Ukraine!!
just sharing an insightful read
economics.mit.edu/sites/defa…
there was a good study on this concept (maybe 20 years ago - I'll look for it)
asserting that the biggest challenge would be
in truthfulness and verification
not so much with blatant fabrications
but with "calls" on kill assessments/opinions

⚡ As part of a major military transformation in Ukraine, launched by the Ministry of Defence on June 12, Ukrainian soldiers will now receive additional salary bonuses depending on the type of combat engagement with the enemy.
