We have refused to do any kinetics integrations up until this point for this reason, I do not want to see a warfighter get killed. Some fielded "ESAD"s that have been used with live explosives are controlled by Arduinos and relay boards. Some have gone off just from idling or dropping. You will pass out if you see some of these "esads" ☠️

The Pentagon's Lethality Prize Challenge competition in April sought manufacturer able to cheaply mass-produce tiny modular warheads safely attachable to diverse FPV kamikaze drones. Read on to learn about the winners (mostly startups!) & their warheads. 1/5

Just got access to Claude Mythos… & ughhhhhhhhh this is AGI. It was the first time a model one shotted a 10/25G Ethernet MAC/PCS, it even knew to select the right line rate and data width for lower latency. This alone is something that would take a really skilled digital designer 3-6 months if they had experience in the past to pull off… But it didn’t just do that I then said to make the MAC fully cut through and only forward certain IP addresses within a range downstream it one shotted it instantly also which blew me away… Then finally I thought ok let me trip it up so I said now do 50G MAC and it knew without me telling it to add another GT transceiver and it even added alignment markers and FEC to it correctly. 💀💀💀 It’s passing all the tests I have so I’m going to flash the board and see if it actually works on hardware now…

WSJ says the US is running out of munitions for the Iran campaign. The bottleneck isn't missiles. It's chemistry. BAE-Holston, a chemical plant in Kingsport, Tennessee, is the only US producer of RDX and HMX, the explosive compounds inside nearly all U.S. warheads and propellants. At peak production in 1944, Holston shipped over a million pounds of explosives per day across 10 production lines. Today it runs 2. The Army gave BAE an $8.8 billion contract in December 2023. Output went from 8 million pounds a year to 15 million a year in 2024. That's still less than 5% of what it was in WW2. Meanwhile, China has been mass-producing next-generation explosives since 2011. America simply can't make them. In 2023, the Army found over 100 single points of failure in the munitions supply chain alone. If that's what it looks like for explosives, imagine the rest of our chemicals supply chain.

one must imagine sisyphus happy please work hard on things that matter, we cannot escape suffering and so we should suffer in pursuit of the right things. you either choose a boulder or you will be assigned one.

We yearn for 1960's IBM's sophisticated industrialism. Exposed screws, stainless steel substrates, Futura and Eurostile, rectangularism and logical layouts, high contrast high cognition graphics, durable construction, presentational straightforwardness, high IQ terminology, etc.
