If you can electromagnetically trap enough antimatter to use it as fuel you could as well trap a miniature charged black hole that can be fed regular matter to produce power, which skips the whole inefficient part of making antimatter.

They made a movie about this. It didn’t end so well for the crew.

It would be helpful to tell users that it's just a model producing mathematically probable tokens but that would go against the AI marketing.

And you’re a sack of meat and neurons producing learned chemical responses to external stimuli. Now tell me how useful that is.

Why not a six hour work week. Anything less is capitalist cronyism.

Given the policies of the current US administration, neither will Anduril.

Irrelevant to core discussion.

Mostly old Soviet stock, decades old Western surplus, and homegrown drones made from mostly Chinese parts.

I’m sure that will keep the Russians at bay.

I work in the defense industry. I have a personal philosophy that I will never work on a platform that could be used to directly or even indirectly harm an individual person (like a fighter jet radar system). So far I've been able to stick to it. While I do think offensive weapons are a necessary part of life in these times, I don't want any of my work going towards building them. Of course some of the profit I help my company make likely goes towards developing new offensive weapons, my taxes will always fund my government's purchase and use of these weapons no matter who I work for.

A luxurious position bred of first world arrogance.

Ukraine fights off aggressor.

Ukraine doesnt use Anduril drones, maybe with the exception of some PR contracts.

Anduril seems to be all about killing brown people forcing themselves over the border to "eat the cats".

> Ukraine fights off aggressor.

Using what, Field Marshal?

I just explained it to you and you ignored my comment. Here is a simplification if it helps:

1991-1994: They nuke Moscow.

1994-present day: American strategic deterrence takes over.

If any part of that is unclear to you then I urge that you reread the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances and return to the discussion with the rest of the context.

Anduril does not manufacture strategic deterrents. If you think they're the solution to the Budapest Memorandum then you're the sort of armchair YouTube General that the Army filters out in officer school. It's not hard to understand, anyone can Google the difference between strategy and tactics.

Excellent. So following your own logic Anduril - and similar - are a necessity to provide hardware for said deterrence. Glad we sorted that out.

Edit: oh I see, you only support strategic deterrence which equates to “standby until we have to nuke them.”
