@arstechnica Great! Now I never need to talk to my dumb meat bag family again! Why would anyone ever want to talk to their family!

The Trump administration is preparing to send a U.S. taxpayer-funded,
$3 billion package of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel,
the biggest transfer of such weapons in recent years
despite the administration’s supposed commitment to maintaining ceasefire agreements across several of Israel’s war fronts.
The package includes 60,000 bombs, split between
MK-84s, BLU-117s, and I-2000 “bunker buster” weapons.
The transfer is being done through the Foreign Military Financing mechanism,
in which the U.S. gives Israel the money to buy the weapons.

True fact: there's no such thing as “chemtrails.” The word for the trails of vapor sometimes created by aircraft is "contrails," short for condensation trails. They're water. They’ve been understood for almost a century. There's no mystery about it, and no controversy, except for the controversy created by right-wing nutcases.
One of whom, to our shame, is the top health official of the US.
@gleick If I understand correctly, contrails do add to global warming (and can be avoided by sensible routing), so the very stable geniuses might accidentally do a good thing for the wrong reasons.

These Robot Soldiers Are Getting Downright Terrifying
By Victor Tangermann
Published Sep 15, 2026
Excerpt: "Aerial drones have become a startlingly common sight on the battlefield. Ukraine, for instance, has been deploying a record number of them as global demand for the often inexpensive and relatively simple to launch devices surges.
"But US-based firms are thinking far ahead, envisioning a dystopian #Terminator -inspired future in which humanoid robot soldiers go to war on behalf of their flesh-and-blood counterparts.
"Case in point, San Francisco-based tech company #Foundation recently signed a $24 million #Pentagon contract to do just that, as the Wall Street Journal reports. While the company’s flagship #PhantomMK1 robot, an unsettling matte black apparition, doesn’t appear to be ready to hold a gun or run into open fire on its own any time soon, the #EricTrump -backed company is far from ruling out the idea.
"When the tech progresses enough to allow robots to reason and adapt to their behavior, 'instead of dropping a bomb in a building, you can send humanoids to actually walk inside that building and go directly to the target,' Foundation CEO #SankaetPathak told the WSJ.
"In an interview last year, Pathak wasn’t willing to rule out the possibility of handing one of its robots a gun, either."

Coyote vs ACME (he is trying to obtain a TLS certificate)
The topic for my usual Monday national network radio tech segment will be newly exposed court documents that reveal how Big Tech knew their AI efforts involved stealing on an enormous scale that was damaging the entire Internet.
The only defensible part about Canadian nationalism is that it's composed of ~ 65% anti-Americanism

People make mistakes, and one of the biggest mistakes people make is designing systems that only work when people make no mistakes.
Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Crow Blanket. Did you know that "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe was actually written about a crow? Edgar was a brilliant writer but the man was terrible at identifying birds.

@lowqualityfacts a beautifully art piece.
Also checked out the shop and it's very well done! Too bad I'm on the other side of the pond otherwise i'd make some purchases!
Thanks for sharing!
My preference for buying locally rather than ordering online (at least for mass produced items) has mostly kept my habit in check, but unfortunately I have discovered where the art supply store near work shelves its supply of fountain pen ink, so now I'm screwed.
@lrhodes Oh no

@Gustodon I make political analyses. If Zelenskyy makes a statement, I need to know.
I loathe X, which is why I have not posted on the platform for years. But sources are where sources are.
