thats basically what https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loon_LLC was mostly for I think. its a really good idea though, and pretty cool technology. I think it only makes sense for battlefield surveillance if its augmenting

I don't think so. I don't know what altitude its at but I imagine aerodynamic control surfaces would not be that effective. F-22 would be better, which is what we deployed.

the ISR payload tends to be massively less as well, with a balloon compared to a satellite, since balloon payloads need to be really small. they are basically an obsolete technology since the development of reconnaissance satellites, UAVs,

common != it has happened before. also note in the DOD press briefing they stated that this was markedly different than previous incursions due to primarily the duration of loitering. also what are these comments..? openly lauding an advers

if after reading those things you honestly can't see the difference then you are definitely part of the problem.

Not that I know of, but I guess elements of the USCG can be seconded by the USN to assist in a law-enforcement capacity? it makes sense that the maritime forces get to play together though.

Thats interesting. I assumed narco subs fell into DHS/USCG jurisdiction and since they have no ASW/ASuW functionality (I think?), getting the USN involved seems kinda overkill? Am I wrong? As an engineer I can't help but be k

kind of amusing to say that, given the reason this is occurring is because the US is an incredibly popular country for immigrants to flock to improve their QOL and give their kids the best opportunities even though they know they're en

This article is kind of a wrapper for the linked bloomberg article, which is more interesting IMO. Driving of cars is a massive cooperative game with high stakes, and autonomous cars essentially need AGI in order to play to a degree that is

Modern Fortran is honestly a joy to work with. A large part of this is due to FPM; I've had a lot of problems in the past with building more complex Fortran projects (with FoBiS mainly) and dependencies have always been a bit of a hass

The flow of Jobs' voice is a little off, but wow this is incredible. But also incredibly concerning. Its cool tech, and I guess nothing can stop the inevitability of new technology, but the ability to replicate people's voice, spe

It's interesting the very different roles hair has played in philosophical movements: the bald Buddhist monks, the beard-growing Greek philosophers, and here the growing of long hair in Confucianism. Unrelated to above, but I wonder ho

Maybe because the initial reporting got so much traffic, Citizenlab pushed far more resources into investigating NSO products? Maybe its political in nature? I can't imagine the reasoning is technical incompetence by NSO (have you read

Even that comparison is a bit of a reach because the US does not have conscription, so the professional/education pipelines are just massively different.

Is it even tenable to attempt this for the entirety of Greater London? Should the focus be on just improving Central London I wonder?

Precisely. Its easy to criticize an agency when one is only privy to the failures. What the public sees is such a tiny fraction of what actually goes on, including positive publications. Its a tough aspect of working in the intelligence com

I do wonder on the feasibility of such events. I don't know a huge amount about pre-revolution Iran, but I don't think the Shah had an exceptionally powerful security force (I could be wrong). But now at least, the IRGC makes a re

Yeah seeing this today is funny given today begins Rosh Hashanah, the Hebrew new year. But I imagine _most_ countries of the world use the gregorian, especially those on english-speaking sites

Having both traveled across the country and throughout Greater London on trains, it is actually really convenient. London is its own kind of beast with the tube/overground, but throughout the rest of the country its definitely pleasant

The publics' attitude toward America's military, more like. It is easy to get people to spy on their own country if they already have a hatred for it, and that _is_ a national security risk. That is not to say you must be blindly

I agree, unless the alternative is to break apart the monopolies which I think is better.

"An artificial general intelligence will probably look more like a whole series of exponentially improving tools than a single thing" cements how I feel AI will be. Also its amusing how GPT-3 wrote that, and I'm agreeing with

I truly wonder how much raw data GCHQ will receive and how they even remotely attempt to sort through it, plus all the myriad sources of information to integrate into intelligence reports. What an interesting challenge.

Isn't this more of a point about OSINT as a whole? just practice better OPSEC and it becomes less of a problem, and from my semi-uninformed position I think its always possible to _somehow_ disable tracking/transponders, be it ADS
