100 rounds a day? In WWI they were often doing 300 per day for routine work. And for offenses 2000 times per day was not unheard of.

Don’t forget that it is more time on the mig. They have limited use before metal fatigue and other wear issues get them.

That depends on the drone. Shells are generally quoted at costing $1000 each, but this can vary a lot depending on the factory and how you configure them (a chunk of lead is cheaper than lead with a timed explosive charge) . Drones can start at $100, but go up a lot.

Ukraine is still running the ‘I want to live hotline’. Give them a call for help.

The German version is better.

unlikely - even if the balloon is, the electronics and explosives are not.

Maybe you need that but I like to have lots of tunings available. Equal temperament is for 20th century music, but everything else demands a better temperament. You can’t play music as the composers intended if you can’t match the notes they had. I just wish I could find a piano with 15 keys per octave so I could play in quarter common mean tone in more keys

I’m not convinced. Both are needed. Most of the time most people don’t need megawatt charging but I think most people really want it once a year. And as also brought out if semis are to go electric they need this so if cars can use it too that is good.

Not exactly. It can but chargers are rarely in convenient locations. You shouldn’t have to use an app to find a charger there should be big signs. And things to do at the charger.

I don’t mind stopping at a ‘gas station’ but those locate at exit ramps for good reason.

Who cares about what they do regularly. What maters is what they do EVEN ONCE! Most people do take 1000 mile road trips - about once a year. They expect their cars to do this. Sure you can rent a car - but that is very expensive - it is typically cheaper to just buy a single car that can do everything. The cost of a rental car (remember poor transit in the US when you get there) also drives a lot of people away from flying or amtrak.

Fully. Last road trip we took the PHEV and just used gas. I looked for the EV chargers on the way because taking the EV was an option (the EV is smaller, so would be crowded with the whole family), and most places did have them. Sure the EV charging station had them, but they were only rarely on the exits, it was always drive a few minutes off the freeway instead of right at the end of the ramp. Many of them didn’t have restrooms or snacks to buy (the latter is how gas stations make money). There were a few exceptions, but in general locations exist for long trips but they are still not convenient.

If you read the spec it isn’t impossible to decode QR codes by hand. It isn’t what I’d call easy, but it is more tedious than hard.

Fortunately, you don’t have to evaluate everything yourself. There are other people to do things to when they talk. I reevalued AI and started using it because back in December someone I trusted said hey you should try it it works great. I had previously tried it a year ago and it didn’t work but when someone I trusted said try it again I tried the new models and suddenly they were working and so now I say AI is good. Don’t confuse good with perfect. There are certainly a lot of things AI does poorly. However, it is very helpful in doing complex tasks that I could do, but would just be too tedious.

When things are new it is often quick for a bit. Then it slows down. My prediction (which has been wrong before!) is that AI has reached the peak of the change.

However you should ALWAYS be ready and willing to change your opinion on anything when new evidence comes in.

That was 2025. This year he has stated that there get many AI reports per day and nearly all are real issues. Things have changed a lot in the past few months.

Though CURL didn’t restart their bug bounty program so there is no inventive to submit slop anymore.

When you look for corruption you find it. Which is why corrupt nations end up higher on the corruption indexes than nations trying to fix themselves.

Local details matter for things like this. Even if this is true in general, do not assume it will be true for your particular area. Sometimes it can even be true for your next door neighbor and not for you.

Local soils have a lot of small variation and those sometimes matter a lot.

The real advantage to something like this is the drone you flew for 10 minutes to reach the enemy can take out 1-2 drones with the shotgun, then destroy itself taking down a third, while a drone that only takes down one enemy drone means 10 more minutes getting the next to that area.

You can get just enough energy for a science fair demonstration. Which scaled up to a data center size is a lot of energy. What the science fair misses is how much energy goes into making the system - You can generate what looks like a lot of power until you realize that the generators and such needed more energy to make than you will get back.
