Are there any projects working on models for business management? I feel for skilled technical people the benefit would be from off-loading a lot of the management side and let them focus on the hard problems.

> keeping it from us until they we do something we don't want to do (pay for the service).
Fixed that for you.
I pay for youtube with generous monthly donations to ad-block devs and list maintainers... Also how about all the ads on paid services now?
Oh and I pay for plenty of services just not from vampires like youtube who rip off the actual talent and hold their audience captive.
Arrr Matey, the sails may have been luffin but they be full again!
It's planes from most of the footage I saw, at best maybe there was A legit unknown drone flown over some sensitive site (which happens) and someone hyped it into hysteria probably fueling trolls with drones to add to it.
Also iirc there is a funding bill for anti-drone programs gummed up in congress so I am sure anyone looking to get it passed isn't in a rush to quell this just yet.
The government will finally get all these local yokel politicians to put a cork in it and stop fanning hysteria when some idiot puts a bullet hole in a cessna thinking it is an Iranian drone from a mothership off the east coast.
I was intrigued until I saw this in the FAQ:
> What is Nyxt?
> Nyxt is a browser with deeply integrated AI and semantic document tools that work as a second brain to help you process and understand more, more quickly.
No mention of what sort of "AI", where it's run, etc. If nothing else, this sounds like a recipe for a warm laptop and unreliable results.
Just clustering, which makes sense, as far as I can see peeking at the code. Whole codebase is lisp which I don't have a ton of experience with so caveat emptor.

Some people are being pressured by their management to use AI to increase efficiency in their jobs, with varying degrees of success.
I have a friend who works in logistics for GE and they’re getting training on the basics of GenAI and then they have to go out and find ways to integrate it into their workflow. The problem is that management isn’t doing the legwork to understand how to integrate the tooling, they’re just handing that responsibility off to the actual users. Those people wind up complaining that taking time to integrate these tools winds up slowing them down and they struggle to find meaningful applications for the LLMs.
It’s like management is saying “here’s a new hammer, we don’t know how to use it but the guy who sold it to us convinced us you can figure out how to use it. So go out and do it and be better and faster at your job, good luck”.
Gonna be fun to see the results of cases like "I didn't defraud the company, gen AI did!" Of which I suspect some will actually be fraud and some not but I don't envy the lawyer who has to explain neuronal computation to a nontechnical person.

So the Russians who are at this point highly dependant on Daddy Xi to keep their economy and military afloat are gonna false flag the West to suck China into a quagmire of a war a few months before the most unpredictable and venomously anti-china president (who has thin skin, a hair trigger, and no qualms about conducting airstrikes on high-ranking Iranian generals unilaterally on a whim) in modern US history is about to take office at the head of a country with the largest functioning stockpile of nuclear weapons and a massive military? You think Chinese intelligence is asleep at the wheel and wouldn't notice given the stakes and absurd levels of geopolitical risk the entire planet is at?
China may back Russia to try to shift perception of the west's military might/will or to drain resources or just to buy Russia by making them dependant to get those juicy Russian natural resources but they aren't going to start world war iii to help Putin with his fetishistic "yet another European dictator" fantasy.
The Chinese know how to play the game same as the Russians and the US. All these little games are just calibrated psyops, why destroy, very publicly, comms lines when tapping it would be far more beneficial to a war effort and much quieter? Maybe to make the West look weak and unable to defend their borders which affects consequences domestically like say channeling political support to isolationist politicians who want to retreat from supporting Ukraine? Cause those politicians didn't make gains in the last European elections or nothing.

"Escalate"? Allowing Ukraine to use the weapons it has to strike back at an aggressor in order to mitigate or reduce said aggressors ability to continue attacking is ... "escalation"? I don't think so.
If anything artificial limits have been placed on Ukraine that are not placed on other nations (or in some cases proscribed terrorist organisations) purchasing or being "gifted" weapons. Whether those weapons are from the U.S., UK, France, Germany, Russia, RoK, whoever.
There are sadly a lot of Chamberlains these days with the wool pulled over their eyes.
It is cheaper, your product takes fewer people to operate, you can outsource the operations, if you deliver IoT solutions you get to call yourself a tech company which gets you valued at 30x earnings instead of 10x earnings, getting hacked does not affect your stock price, and the actual effect of getting hacked is actually minor because you get hacked by the functional equivalent of Dr. Evil who takes down water for millions of people or cripples a billion dollar business, then asks for the staggering sum of 1… million dollars.

The GOP won't have a supermajority, as the word is usually understood (i.e., having more than two thirds of the seats in the Senate). They'll have barely more than half the seats in both houses. So they can pass some things using the reconciliation process, but can't pass general legislation without Democrat support or abolishing the filibuster.
The average voter isn't going to make that distinction, they are just going to equate it to "in power, didn't deliver".

It’s happening on porn sites in some states in the US right now. When you visit the site, they ask you to validate with your ID.
Hell of a time to run a VPN or a blackmail service... Porn site profiles with activity history + real traceable identities will make the Ashley Madison leak look quaint.
