The iconic AV-8B Harrier II has been retired from USMC service, ending a 55-year run of Harrier operations between the 1st and 2nd generations.
They received an eventful sundown during Operation Absolute Resolve, one last combat run before enjoying retirement...

#MarineCorps AV-8B Harrier II aircraft with Marine Aircraft Group 14, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing fly near the coast of North Carolina. The “sundown” of the AV-8B Harrier II, an iconic aircraft that has supported joint and Marine Corps operations for over 40 years, also represents the dawn of a new era; it paves the way for 2nd MAW’s full transition to the F-35B and C Lightning II. #USMC #SemperFi #MarineAviation

@1pterson Risk is very rare. Risk is everywhere. Will you stop driving a bike because there is a risk of accident?

People make fun of cave divers,
and fair enough it is an absurdly dangerous pursuit but without people willing to pursue something that extreme you would never have the specialists capable of performing cave rescues. The two divers who found the thirteen boys trapped inside a flooded cave in Thailand had to navigate four kilometers of passageways, underwater. If I was one of those kids I’d be forever grateful some madman would do this.

This idea of humiliating the villains at the end of a series is a relatively new thing. Case in point, I remember the Nazi major Konig from “Enemy at the Gates” (2000). When facing his death he removes his hat with dignity and looks his enemy (the protagonist) in the eye.

In The Boys finale, Homelander had to look powerless according to Eric Kripke “Yeah, it was really important to us for Homelander to at least experience a little bit of time powerless.” “People have asked me, ‘Well, why don’t you send him out in the world powerless, wouldn’t that be the ultimate punishment?’ “I’m like, it would, until he gets his hands on some more Compound V, and then you’re back to where you started.” “So, he cannot walk out of that room alive, but we can spend time with him powerless to really reveal what everyone’s been saying all season, which is, ‘Take away those powers and you are nothing.’ “And he’s so cowardly and blubbering and pathetic, as are most strong men when you remove their power and they’re and they’re faced with their imminent death, they rarely handle it bravely.”

this should feel surprising. in some sense it's objectively very big news. but this was so clearly the trajectory we were on that it actually just feels like another normal day. life on the METR trendline.

Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids. An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better. This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.
