Well that's boring. And here I was hoping they wanted to help with Meshtastic somehow. XD

What are the AI bots doing with Long RAnge radios?

How long do they even have between detection and impact?

Depends!

Carrier groups usually have an AWACS plane on standby, and wikipedia suggests modern systems have a 400km detection range. Assuming the missile has a steady speed of Mach 13, that's about 90 seconds of warning.

It's more complicated than this, though, because (afaik) these missiles cruise at a much lower speed and only reach maximum velocity when accelerating in their terminal guidance phase.

My auto-downloader has the new season listed as #9

Nope. Turns out that adding a few ounces of lead or hardened steel to the milliseconds before impact doesn't do much when the missiles are designed to force their way through thousands of pounds of air per second.

Against hypersonics, this isn't really a solution.

The missiles are designed to force their way through thousands of pounds of air per second. Adding a few ounces of lead and/or hardened steel in the last few milliseconds before impact won't do much.

Nah, they haven't even started panicing about AI yet. Expect Nvidia stock to drop by another 50% when that happens.

I figured it out the hard way, guess-and-check.

My first few years in the furry fandom were spent trying to find the fursona that adequately reflects "me". I very quickly discovered that the "traditional" male and female archetypes weren't a good fit, 'cuz I'm a weird inbetweener~

I couldn't even finish one, they were that bad.

Gotta go deeper than that.

Who's the most powerful person in the world with a mullet?

[–] knightly@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

Any even number is acceptable.

If you encounter someone who employs an odd number of Chuggas, drop everything and run.

Not sonic weaponry, as in weapons made of sound, but hypersonic as in going Mach 5 or faster.
