@TimSheehyMT Superb descalation. This vet could have been spoken to like a human and asked to leave but you chose a different way to handle the situation.

Capitol Police were attempting to remove an unhinged protestor from the Armed Services hearing. He was fighting back. I decided to help out and deescalate the situation.
This gentleman came to the Capitol looking for a confrontation, and he got one. I hope he gets the help he needs without causing further violence.

Senator Sheehy joined Capitol Police in lifting up and ejecting anti war protestor Brian McGinnis from a SASC subcommittee hearing. McGinnis is a Green Party candidate running for Senate in N.C. An antiwar activist filmed the video below:

@Varun55484761 It is not just the growler that can do this. F-35 has had this capability since its inception - it actually has stronger capabilities than the growler due to better on-board computing.

U.S. Navy’s EA-18G Growler Destroyed Chinese-made YLC-8B Anti-stealth Radar and Type 305A Radar in Iran.
US used non stealth aircrafts to confuse Chinese Anti-Stealth radar, if it is a stealth aircraft Chinese radar would detected it around 2000 kms.

@crypto_div @AnthropicAI Guess you didn't just see the agreement OpenAI signed with the DoW that says the same thing.
English
@AnthropicAI "We support national security... except the parts we personally veto."
Sorry, you don't get to play unelected Secretary of War. The government decides lawful military uses- not your ToS. Litigate as you see fit, the DoD will just use OpenAI/xAI/Google instead.

@VentureRVA Who approved chopping down all the beautiful cherry trees?!? These projects are supposed to enhance the park not pave over some of its prettiest features. I already hate this "upgrade." Should have thrown a bathroom in and cashed it a day.

Tredegar St. is closed on the south side from Brown’s Island Way to 5th St. No left turns from Brown’s Island Way onto Tredegar. The north side is open via 5th or 7th Sts., and the south sidewalk remains open. Closure is for underground repairs. Updates to come.

@TVietor08 I don't know, think its kind of brilliant. You can ensure you have a consistent message

Mike Pompeo blurbed his own book. Just incredible.
Ammar Moussa@ammarmufasa
This might be the most hilarious book blurb I've ever seen. Really embarrassing @mikepompeo couldn't find ANYONE else to praise his book.

@AcqTalk UPLs are also indicative of a poor prioritization process that is driven more by status quo preservation (programs of record) and less by innovation/true needs.
English
DOD budgeting is broken for many reasons, and UPLs are just a symptom of that dysfunction and serve a useful purpose within that dysfunction.

@vc This one? cnas.org/publications/r…
I think he was trying to make a strong point that production is our achilles heel and that we haven't devoted enough energy to our industrial base and what is needed for a prolonged war. I don't think he meant to negate the SV contributions.

@matt__macgregor I got it from a CNAS paper on MCF.
Did LaPlante mean what it sounded like he meant? I want to believe that the context made his remarks better.

Just some tech bros doing work in Ukraine @ Bill LaPlante.

The Ukrainian 79th Air Assault Brigade released a video of recent drone deployed 40mm M430 HEDP grenade strikes on Russian positions and vehicles.

@vc Where can one find details on the 35 Chinese investment funds? Would love to reference that in a paper.
English
Since 2015 Ch!na has established >35 investment funds with more than $65B in AUM to pursue dual use technology.
DIUs 2022 budget ~$35M
In-Q-Tel's annual ~$100M
DARPA's 2022 budget ~ $3.5B
They are serious.

@RepMTG Totally agree, Trump should be held accountable. Glad to see you finally come around!
English
Impeach Merrick Garland and Defund the corrupt FBI!
End political persecution and hold those accountable that abuse their positions of power to persecute their political enemies, while ruining our country.
This shouldn’t happen in America.
Republicans must force it to stop!

@AcqTalk The best combination is to have tools and concepts evolve with each other. Tools without an understanding of how to employ them is no good; great concepts with no new tools equally so.
English
This is part of the reason why military tech is relatively stagnant, that everything MUST flow from concepts (requirements) and that enabling tools are neglected (or results as an overhead expense on achieving the concept).

I’m ok, all clear. Halo saved me today. Thanks everyone for your kind messages!

@trish_regan Whatever. That oil wasn’t even destined for the US but rather China and other countries so everyone should chill about this project. It would have encouraged using the dirtiest and most climate damaging petro products anywhere.

Keystone Pipeline would have come in handy right about now.

@JohnCarreyrou Its really crazy you choose this time to take a break - right after she testifies. You got us in this path, now we’re supposed to chill for 2 weeks. Guess I’ll have to use other sources to figure out the details.

Several of you have asked me this question today. We’re taking another short break. The next episode, Ep. 11, comes out December 2nd.

@BDHerzinger Its almost like everyone in these videos took "awkward classes" in preparation for the rollout.
