Maybe a better way to say it would be, no one is talking to AI that isn't on company serves, managed by that company personnel. My overall point being, no one is submitting design files to ChatGP…

Proton Drive works well and is from a company that supports privacy but does require a paid subscription.

The problem with this is gmaps. There is no alternative to it and by the nature of it knowing your location it removes anonymity. I would buy, or even pay a monthly fee, for something that is 75% as g…

No one is "corresponding" trade secrets outside of their company. I recommend reading up on ITAR and the resulting culture it has created around aerospace info.

I thought they meant it as "lots of trade secrets in the jet engine field" not "lots of trade secrets in the article".

Considering most of those trade secrets are sitting in peoples heads or in documentation behind walls AI companies have yet to get over, not many.

Considering we are getting there without it... yeah, definitely not looking good.

"Again, we are not doing this because we want this to be the future. It is not because we want to expand to chain AI-run retail stores across the world. It is not for economic opportunity. We’re …

If I may be allowed one nitpick. Without fully understanding the FAA doc you link to in the article, I think it would be better to say something like loss of a plane is a 1 in a billion event for comm…

The USN, specifically aircraft carriers, where designed to project power. No one on the world stage is looking at the USNs inability to open the Strait of Hormuz and seeing successful power projection…

The balanced view is Proton is a service that does not treat you as the product and does what I would describe as, the best it can, to provide privacy. They seem to avoid keeping data where they can b…

The articles format is awful and designed to wast your time. This article also just points out the use of Livekit but doesn't deliver what that means for your security. Maybe instead of writing a…

The point is a country like Iran can, in 2026, force the US Navy to keep an large stand off distance. How much further could a country like China keep the Navy back? What about in 10 years? Eventually…

Founding principles = initial marketing strategy

Anduril has yet to deliver anything of consequence. I hope they shake up the industry but to say they are the next hot thing and write off the primes at this stage is premature.

Last gasps? The rent seeking class has literally never been more powerful. "The Chinese open source model running on the box under my desk can pass the Turing Test. When you call, e-mail, text, o…

I hope. I only use Windows at this point because of CAD and FEA software and it gets worse every version. For FEA there are options on Linux but for CAD you have been SOL since most major CAD suites d…

Is it any closer to functioning like Solidworks, NX, Creo, and all the other professional CAD software packages? Edit: After opening it up it seems better than before but still not a replacement. I ca…

Summary: A rant by and entitled techie complaining about non-techies taking the path of least resistance which slightly inconveniences the author.

That sounds fine except the part where private companies have cameras everywhere surveilling us, directly tied into dmv records to identify us, and then do whatever they want with that data. And not o…

The idea that any of these companies have anything that represents ethics as they steal everyones data, fight against any regulation or accountability, all while they claim (or lie, depending on your …

Are we reading the same article? The focus is on a white woman.

This is the opposite of security theater. It was an apparently an implementation of security with issues but restricting physical access, both for people and vehicles, is absolutely a real improvement…

Liking free speech, disliking affirmative action, being critical of those he disagrees but also giving them a chance to respond. edit: is what he seems to be about based on the linked article

I wish they would just copy the gui format of Solidworks, Creo, NX, etc. Every time I open it to try and learn it, it frustrates the crap out of me and I close it until it's been long enough that…

My point was only that you may not have checked but you know about the 737 Max. Do you know about software failures from Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, etc. killing someone? They certainly have but it doe…

No, that's just on a salary basis. If you want to go further into bringing other stuff in I would say, on average, the European folks are only slightly worse off money wise (owning a house there …

I'm not sure of the situation for software engineers but ones on the aerospace and mechanical side working in aerospace in Europe are paid something on the order of 50% less than ones in the US. …

For Airbus, Boeing, and others the cost of failure is disproportionately high. Just look at how you consider Boeing despite that 99.99...% of their software and hardware work flawlessly. They will be …
