  • Russians complain that cheap Hornet UAVs now reach Crimea.

  • Yeah I thought the same thing, but no. People who actually launch weather balloons swear off hydrogen like a plague, because apparently it explodes while you are filling the balloon.

  • When your balloon needs to lift 15 kg to 5 km, it suddenly becomes significantly expensive. According to the internet™, you need 14 cubic meters of helium, which alone would be like $700. You will also expect to lose half of them to random winds, so you need to launch at least 20.

    Also, 15 kg drone is not that much destructive, it only carries 5 kg of payload, while Shahed typically carries 50 kg.

  • The story of Vesperik the Were-bat, who is not at all interested in drinking blood and only wants to hang out with his harpy and pegasus friends in the local Sky Travelers club, but somehow vampires keep finding him and offering him an 'eternal life' with a position of lover/butler/bodyguard and other inappropriate things.

  • The AI Backlash Could Get Very Ugly. Imagine what happens if jobs actually start disappearing.

  • Fast food is already as automated as it can be. Replacing cooks with robot kitchen is looks good as a management dream, but anyone who tried it quickly discovers that you need industrial robots, and they are fuckng expensive, and you need engineers anyway to maintain them. So you are replacing cheap cooks with outrageously expensive engineers.

    "But no", some ignorant CEO says, "we're not assembling cars, we don't need pneumatic robot arm that can lift 10 tons". Yeah, you still need a robot arm, and it's just a miniaturized industrial robot, not any much cheaper.

    But robot kitchen exist, and they are actually very profitable. Go to your nearest grocery shop. 99% of items on the shelves were produced by a robot. Everything in a plastic wrap, everything in a jar, was produced on a conveyor. Even fresh produce involves some kind of automation.

    So robots won't fry your potatoes, because french fries have really short shelf life. Otherwise they totally could, but hiring a cook is cheaper.

  • Canonical Launches Ubuntu Core 26 for IoT and Edge Devices

  • So, like, regular Debian?

    Ubuntu Frame now supports multiple applications on a single display

    Sounds like they invented a window manager.

  • Cisco announces record revenue and 4,000 layoffs in the same day

    Jump

  • With Meta it very much looks like overhiring. What are those 8000 workers even doing, designing CSS for each individual ad on Facebook?

  • Samsung starts winding down chip production six days before planned 18-day strike — company enters "emergency management mode," daily losses could hit $2 billion

    Jump

  • Samsung pretty much controls Android market, Google is afraid to fart sideways in their presence.

  • You can publish your open source app on Google Play, and this will not change. Google is also not planning to introduce $100/year publishing fee for devs like Apple, you pay $25 one time to register. There is also no real alternative open source OS for phones.

    Google decision impacts apps like Termux, who use old Android API to install additional packages. If you are not planning to create Linux emulator, I guess this won't impact you.

  • A software engineer at Atlassian got laid off in March after 8 years. His response: a 38-minute YouTube video showing how the company's entire tech works, free for anyone to copy.

  • “Eh, they can recover from yesterday,” he said, referring to daily database backups.

    But did they recover from backups? Don't leave the most juicy intrigue out of the story.

  • Docker images are hundreds of MB; a full game engine compiles to 35MB WASM

    Jump

  • Most web browsers will have a hard limit on WASM apps that will be around 200-300 MB of binary size, and your RAM will be limited too.

    Try opening a full-featured WASM game on iPad and weep.

    Source: I've ported an open-source game to WASM. Worked fine on my PC, not so well anywhere else.

  • Why do native UI frameworks suck so much?

    Jump

  • SDL provides you a framebuffer with 640x480 pixels and 24-bit color, with a delicious pixel-perfect 8x12 monospace font, on every OS and every device, and this is everything you will ever need. Titlebar? Close button? Your app is perfect, it needs no close button. It will be running 24/7 in a fullscreen mode, and the user will be happy! Other apps? Pah! Let them run on a second, smaller monitor!

  • Ukrainian company unveils new mid-range drone designed to exhaust Russian air defenses

  • Active radar on the border I suppose. And I guess it's more for assisted geolocation with GPS jammed than to send commands to change course.

    However it may be for that too, the miltech is not beyond implementing stupid ideas into actual hardware.

  • Who would benefit from disrupting Ubuntu sofrware updates? Seems related to the recently discovered kernel vulnerability. Some state-funded cybercrime unit needs a bit more time to infect your servers before you update them.
