I mean, 1990 was 36 years ago and accompanied with a massive land invasion. At what point do these comparisons become meaningless?

The amount of people here who didn’t read the article and don’t understand basic statistics is shocking.


Which ones do they have in common?


These have explosives and a ten mile fiber optic cable. Little different.


The Ruhrstall X-4 [1] had five and a half kilometers of wire 80 years ago, along with a 20kg warhead and an acoustic proximity fuse.

1: Never deployed operationally Luftwaffe wunderwaffen, first tested in August 1944, wire-guided air-to-air missile.


Ten miles is pretty impressive, but TOW missiles are from the 70s.


Explosives are just a payload (like any other payload you can attach to a drone), either independent from the whole system or activated through a simple relay. You can see ArduPilot is the ground station, where you can easily customize such switches. The distance is only about the wire/fiber; obviously, fiber is lighter, hence the longer distance for the drone to carry.


This sounds right, but it is speculative at best. If anything it just goes to show how complex the modern cell is and how long it took to assemble all the right pieces.


Like anything else on this topic it is a hypothesis and nothing new:

lots of cuda libs


gregory chaitin has an accessible version of the math, if you’re interested. he builds a LISP with it.


Thanks for the pointer to Chaitin, his writing seems approachable:

cool, just found these:

The Limits of Mathematics---Tutorial Version : https://arxiv.org/abs/chao-dyn/9509010

An implementation of his Lisp, written to explore the above Tutorial : https://github.com/poppingtonic/chaitin-ait


Seaborn, plotly, datashader, etc. all exist to wrap matplotlib and they are wildly successful. Is there some reason an equally good interface couldn’t be written in elisp?


thanks but my reputation already has a colorway


they’re there to be googles bearded monopoly foil, nothing more
