I think it went a bit further than just selecting the right paint.
I remember there was a program to enhance the stealth for relatively low flying surveillance aircraft (still mostly propeller aircraft at that time) and one of the most effective measures was painting the underside of the plane White and then illuminating it on purpose with a light that was matched to the sky. The light was usually bluish to match the sky. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yehudi_lights
The reason why this was not simply done at night was of course that the surveillance equipment needed some light to work :)
that is not a power plant. a power plant supplies power…
you mean turing complete?
yeah this is a real pet peeve of mine.
In German many people, web mailers and also sometimes even email software use "AW:" (short for AntWort) instead of "Re:" and then some of them don't even recognize the existence of a previous "AW:" or "Re:" giving you such wondrous email subjects as: "AW: Re: AW: Re: AW: AW: Re: AW: Re: really important subject" 🤦
Looking at the price per kWh for commercial batteries tells me that we are seeing the battery revolution right now.
Graphene is already commercially used in some applications:
There are already very effective cures for some types of cancer (note that the differences between the many types of cancer can be huge and so the effort and time needed to create cures will also be very different. some treatments also are effective but not completely understood yet, like for bladder cancer)
Nuclear fusion devices are commercially used in material analysis (mostly in the semiconductor industry and in ore processing). There are different types in use – some even use thermonuclear fusion on a small scale.
It all seems like super crazy superconductor level tech until it becomes mundane and part of peoples lives ... then we stop noticing how amazing it really is.
There has been some fusor research going on for decades. The issue that killed that direction of fusion research was ultimately that the electrons do not behave as the initial simple models suggested and in the real world the power loss from the fast electrons is just too big for any reasonably sized device to allow for self sustaining fusion.
oh i must have missed a few orders of magnitude there. 6Mt of helium is a ridiculous amount though ... what is all that used for? according to WA that is about the water volume of the three gorges dam at STP
Edit: just read the report, wow, more than a quarter of all the helium is used just for "breathing mixes" which i assume means its for scuba diving.
you h2e it?
from the wiki article on Helium:
an estimated 3000 metric tons of helium are generated per year throughout the lithosphere.
I think the main issue here is not that we are loosing helium on a planetary scale but that the easy to reach helium from gas wells is wasted. We will never run out of helium at our current rate of consumption before the sun goes nova, if we consider all sources on earth, but it will get a lot more expensive and the supply will get less steady.
just found this post: https://mstdn.social/@deaidua/111308908881071433
so they are possibly Sonobot 5's
throw off the yolk
lol
i did not see any text that mentioned the guided variant but i saw a video that showed supposedly a UA gunner in a PzH2000 with a programming adapter on a shell like they are used with Vulcano ammo. (looks like a round copper ziggurat)
Edit: just read the description of those shells by the manufacturer and i i think i misunderstood programmable shell to mean guided shell. the programming could also be for setting the fuse.
Wir haben Grund zum saufen!
Bullets are made of lead
for the military: not anymore. lead for bullets is only used for hunting nowadays and even there it is banned in many countries (being replaced by copper or zinc instead). the core of military small arms projectiles is usually steel or a special penetrator (i.e. tungsten)
"ἰχθύς" is the ancient greek word for "fish" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%99%CE%A7%CE%98%CE%A5%CE%A3

yes indeed. i keep being confused how email can still suck so much sometimes when it had decades to mature.
They have guided Vulcano ammo in that caliber too.
I mean sure but on the other hand the Ukrainians have modern radar so this is a bit surprising still.
that sounds almost exactly like the Reichsbürger in Germany. They also claim the current German state is actually just a corporation and the laws of the German empire are somehow still applicable. They also create their own passports. And of course they are deeply interconnected with Neo-nazis.
OpenWRT does not use liblzma or systemd so i think that one is pretty safe. I would also be surprised if Android included OpenSSH server binaries in that way.
i searched for the exact phrase used "robot which uses plasma torches" and found a few news articles for a start-up that uses such a concept in commercial tunnel drilling.
so i guess we do have tunneling robots that use plasma torches.
i think the mine was successfully removed. so, mission accomplished?
Not as long as OPs but has some real goodies.
most dishwasher detergent formulations contain corrosion inhibitors for steel, some even contain corrosion inhibitors for aluminium though those are usually in the upper price segment.
woah this is awesome!
maglevs need classical wheel systems anyway because there might be a power outage, so simply having wheels that are compatible with the local rail system is a brilliant idea.
add in a tiny propulsion system so they can use the normal tracks at low speed without the help of the maglev tracks and you can sort of blend the two systems together in critical locations like switches and train stations.
Will it also allow the placement of entities to be parametrically changed? like the changing the position or enabling/disabling the placement of specific entities?

This guy was in a remote controlled, parachute equipped gondola at 17km altitude wearing a pressurized suite. His suit broke and even though the emergency descent of the gondola was immediately activated to descend safely, he later died from embolism (bubbles forming in the blood because of rapidly decreasing pressure). Passenger jets cruise at about 11km so i gather it would be similar.
