The heads up display isn’t something you see in front of you like most planes. The helmets are the heads up display, like augmented reality.
There are cameras all over the plane to help you see through the aircraft (see ground targets through the floor, nearby aircraft through your wing).
Just like how an apache gunner can simply look at a target to aim the gun at them you can do the same thing. And if you can’t hit it it’s still marked for every allied plane in the airspace to see. If you are out of missiles but you are tracking see a enemy plane miles ahead, you can send the data to an F-15 miles behind you and let their missiles lock and fire from farther than they can engage alone.
With that in mind the radar is awesome letting it see threats from greater distances than the opposition, with the stealth capabilities are good enough to keep them from easily doing the same.
I’m sure there are other surprises too, but the military obviously wants to keep those a secret
It would suck if poison ivy tea tasted really good
I genuinely think the best practical use of AI, especially language models is malicious manipulation. Propaganda/advertising bots. There’s a joke that reddit is mostly bots. I know there’s some countermeasures to sniff them out but think about it.
I’ll keep reddit as the example because I know it best. Comments are simple puns, one liner jokes, or flawed/edgy opinions. But people also go to reddit for advise/recommendations that you can’t really get elsewhere.
Using an LLM AI I could in theory make tons of convincing recommendations. I get payed by a corporation or state entity to convince lurkers to choose brand A over brand B, to support or disown a political stance or to make it seem like tons of people support it when really few do.
And if it’s factually incorrect so what? It was just some kind stranger™ on the internet
All I know is that I use socials to get away from political bullshit
When it was sms compatible it was a suuuuper easy sell for my family
“It’s way more secure when you text me but you can still text everyone else you know too. And we can still use it through wifi if cell service isn’t available.”
Nothing comprehensive but the weapon holster company Trex Arms has a video review of Einscan-SP that is like 5 years old.
Now I get that’s not super helpful but the interesting part is that they scanned a ton of handguns with combinations of optics, lights etc to make their holsters. They found out how tedious of a process it was so they made the files open source. So you can see the quality you’ll expect when you compare spec sheets to other stuff
It would potentially fall under “fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine”
Sometimes it feels like we’re running in rhombicosidodecahedrons
We can always do the “nothing beyond my immediate observation can be trusted” method like the flat earthers do
I think Kamala has much better odds than Biden did this time around. The assassination attempt on Trump was crazy and solidified his supporters.
I think it’s a closer race than either side thinks
I beats a parking lot that’s for sure. Micro climate would improve. It could bring more shade, better water retention and more types of bugs and wildlife than the places around you.
As for big picture, not so much but every bit counts. Like light pollution for example. If property owners turned off or shielded one outdoor light the night sky would be a lot cooler to a lot more people. It’s a collective effort and it needs to start somewhere
Check out binaural microphone headphones
This is a cool youtube channel to show the effect https://youtu.be/j18RKpKvL1Q?feature=shared
Keep crying and find out. Petty suburban problems.
It might not be much but it’s still legal precedent that will hopefully help it reach critical mass. Like getting Al Capone on tax evasion
I forget what privacy podcast I was listening to but they said that privacy is important because you might not be under scrutiny now but could be.
After the Boston marathon bombing reddit was scouring footage and believed a particular person was responsible (“we did it reddit!”). They were wrong. People found his address, work etc and was stalked and harrassed for days though he did nothing wrong.
You can bet he tried to disappear for a while, and a little extra everyday privacy would have made that a lot easier.
Yes for those that don’t know in the US any rifle with a barrel length less than 16 inches needs to have a buch of extra paperwork and a tax stamp to the govt to register it as a “short barreled rifle” or it is a weapons related felony. The government was afraid of gangs using easily concealed weapons.
The most basic standard rifle of the US military, the M4, used a 14.5 inch barrel. Even if everything else was legal for the average citizen to own by making it semi auto only, that barrel makes it a short barreled rifle by law. But add an extra 1.5 inches and it’s perfectly fine in the eyes of the law.
The way to avoid the pain of excessive paperwork and tax stamp is to replace the stock with a “pistol brace” and make it a “pistol”. You know, the category of gun used most by criminals because it’s easy to conceal.
I guess knives aren’t socially seen as defensive arms even if legally they are
It also goes to show how laws made during the moral panic don’t go away even decades after that panic fades.
This is often in mind when responsible gun owners are critical of more gun laws. The govt won’t go “that was silly of us here’s your bit of freedom back” even if a law objectively had zero positive effect
I’m sorry for your loss
