The task of creating quite complicated apps is remarkably easy now, and will become even easier over the next few years. Whether they work and how useful they are will be a mixed bag. AI coding agents suffer from an eagerness to please...

This might lead to a wave of innovation from people with no desire or sense of "how the sausage is made" in code. It's a bit like the move to WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) software. I wonder if it will allow design and engineering to...

Our argument is not that every reported sighting was Russian-directed, or that every reported sighting involved a UAV, but that the aggregate pattern of UAV sightings cannot be adequately explained by misidentification, hobbyist activity or...

AAWSAP certainly showed that with the right connections, money could be spent on frivolous things that benefit connected people. If the story is accurate, it lasted for 2 FYs and funneled ~$22m to Bigelow before higher ups at DIA figured out what...

The sources that any press office would have access too my be quite limited. How many of the people involved at the time are still available, and have clearances to talk about their work on it? Or even remember the details of when they did and...

The International Institute for Strategic Studies has now released a report going even further than the German students and saying that it is very likely that Russia conducted hundreds of UAV flights over critical from Russian linked ships...

Wanted to put my thoughts down on this movie since I just saw it earlier today (with some spoilers). I did very much enjoy the movie, but it's by no means perfect, and I wish certain aspects were better expanded or fleshed out. Ironically, it...

Welcome; as others have said it's not odd at all. Pretty much everyone with any interest in the subject (including readers of e.g. popular science magazines) in the 1980s knew that new elements had been synthesized, and that physicists thought...

@uapreads There is nothing mysterious about predicting E115. Elements where being synthesised. And just weeks before Lazar came out with his story, A science magazine had run a story on scientists quest to synthesize E114-E116. Even spoke...
