@DailyLoud makes sense. someone could be watching the live match and run the moves through an AI chess program and relay the suggested moves back to her via phone

@michaelshermer Talking about it sustains grifters' salaries. Hopefully something more gets released and it's better than gimbal, gofast, etc. Something that can't be conflated with parallax or optical/IR/lens artifacts. I'm cautiously optimistic for this round of releases.

Alrighty then, let's see it. Stop talking about it and show us!

@michaelshermer @prosochesati There are a few different stories in the UFO world. I'm not sold on successful reverse-engineering stories. As far as truly anomalous activity in the sky - it's not what people expect, and it can be conflated for mundane things.

@EricRWeinstein "Hard conclusive evidence" is more difficult to get than people think. The evidence is subtle, and only rises in eminence after finding patterns that remain unresolved among all the prosaic things often mistaken for anomalous. You can see a plasma or flame quality in some clips.
English
These (and many others here) are good comments @prosochesati but they all assume UFOs of some sort are real and X is why we're not using them in Iran. What I'm after is actual evidence beyond grainy videos, blurry photographs & stories about spooky things in the sky.

(A) If the military had successfully reverse-engineered highly advanced alien technology, they would not still be relying on 1950s technology like the B-52 bomber. It seems to me that (A) is false. This seems to assume that the mere possession of a highly advanced technology immediately negates the utility of all older technology. But this is simply not how technology adoption, economics, or military logistics work in the real world. We already possess extremely advanced, highly classified aircraft right now (like the B-2 stealth bomber and the F-35). Yet, the B-52 is still flying. Why? Because dropping conventional payloads in uncontested airspace doesn't require risking a two-billion-dollar stealth jet. The B-52 is a cheap, reliable workhorse. Let's assume the military did reverse-engineer a UFO. Why on earth would they use it for routine patrols, basic bombing runs, or everyday transport? Deploying your ultimate, physics-defying trump card for standard military operations would instantly reveal your hand to global adversaries like China or Russia. You keep your most advanced technology completely hidden in black projects until an existential threat demands its use. Shermer's counterfactual fails because it ignores the variables of cost, risk, and strategic ambiguity. Possessing a trump card doesn't mean you play it on the very first hand.

@ptrschmdtnlsn Yea, I've re-tuned how I think about transmission of bacteria/viruses. You realize what bacteria sees when being transferred from surface to surface is mountainous layers of oily goo sucking them up. The 5-second rule should really be the 5-microsecond rule.
English
Working under a microscope you really come to appreciate how at small scales everything is absurdly sticky, surface tension is insanely strong, and fluids are very viscous. And these scaling laws only continue! Bacteria probably feel like they're tunneling through glue.

@RangerH338 @igorsushko If the video itself doesn't give it away, AI-generated audio is often weird. Fast, emotionally mismatched dialogue, and the audio sounds compressed, or like it has reverb.

@UAPDr Daylight sightings are cool. From what I can tell, averaging a lot of sightings and anecdotes, they often look like little round clouds in daylight. Guessing it's because the glow of the plasma field gets outshined by sunlight, making it look gassy/cloudy.

🧪 Thrust from a capacitor. No propellant. Hard vacuum. 148 configurations. Persists for hours after power disconnect.
Dr. Charles Buhler, Exodus Propulsion Technologies. 25 years at NASA KSC — Shuttle, ISS, Hubble. US Patent 11,511,891. The Air Force wrote about it in Air & Space Operations Review, 2024.
The EED connection: asymmetric dielectric geometry produces a gradient in the scalar field C. Force scales as ∇(C²/2μ₀). The field the Lorenz gauge sets to zero.
Not independently replicated. EmDrive burned everyone. But Buhler has a patent, a career, and 148 data sets below 10⁻⁶ torr.
What I want: someone to compute the EED boundary-value solution for the Exodus geometry and check whether predicted thrust matches measured.

@Jerome04475418 @1llegalEngineer @ATaylorFPGA In school, I learned to cram, which is something like memorizing patterns of symbol transformations without fully grasping reasons for them. I learned how to learn on the job. Uni was good for introducing concepts, so I know they exist and can look back at them when needed.
English
@1llegalEngineer @ATaylorFPGA You learn to learn at school but that won't get you a job. Make your own projects. Use them to get a traineeship. Use it to get a junior position in a team and learn the real work.

Did you learn the knowledge you have about FPGAs at uni or would you say uni was almost useless for your FPGAs career?

FPGA engineers are rare.
Not because it’s hard…
But because most people quit too early.

@MickWest Maybe diff people have diff knowledge and the ones with more detailed knowledge are highest on the hit list. Could also argue that it would be a mistake to hit a high profile whistle blower, since it draws attention. Many of them claim to have gone public for this reason.
English
The idea that people are being killed to cover up aliens is internally contradictory.
Why don't "they" kill the whistleblowers like Nell, Stratton, Puthoff, Elizondo, Lazar, Grusch, etc?
And if they are not killing them because they have come forward and made statements and that would be suspicious, then why don't all the other people at risk of murder come forward and make statements?
If it's safer to blow the whistle, then why not blow the whistle and save your life?
It would seem that a strategy of killing people who might blow the whistle, but not people who have blown the whistle, is entirely counterproductive.
