That more or less defeats the purpose, no?

What I'm hearing is that neo-piracy with some helo assist will be a potentially massively lucrative career with autonomous ships with advanced weapon and sensor packages. Hell yeah, I've already got the flag on order.

Based on what, replay of years old footage of pasts protests he saw on Fox? He's clearly hitting the strides of dementia with the suggestibility of a particularly slow 7 year old, and no, he doesn't just mean the West, he means the entire country (including the Artic). Anyone who thinks the US...

Reading that they give up precision for volume, which makes sense for AI but less so for for something that specifically requires precision. Accurately predicting trajectory is hampered by unknowns, errors and dynamic changes over massive distances when you talk about trying to actually hit a...

That article seemed to be about tailoring chips specifically to optimize them for use with AI, noting it has an ungodly computational demand and runs in at $100M a month. That's doesn't mean they are necessarily better at general computing, just that they've been tailored to make them better at...

The English forwards were just dominant and an absolute powerhouse. Great defence on their side every time Canada got some momentum. What a hell of a game, hopefully they won't have to crowdfund anymore.

I add one onto Prime (and guess I'll pay for a month) This ref is phenomenal, and really liking hearing their mic

Awesome game so far, check it out on TSN if you can. Pretty evenly matched, although the England pack are an absolute force

There is the occasional article in the MEJ, but there is a lot more being tried and used that doesn't make articles. It's done during the operational cycle as it's too late to do it in the DWP to plan the work, so once in a while they go onto the synchrolift for pre-docking surveys...

Sounds like a question for the unit chief! Thanks!

Okay, thanks, that's good to know. I think I'll just give it a pass then. I was just going to get it done myself but won't bother, and the ensign doesn't really matter in this context, and was hoping to just leave it off and use the unit badge (in place of the ship badge).

Yes, and yes, both are being done, along with a number of other advanced scanning to try and catch up with it, but it still has limitations. All that still requires time along side and maintenance windows and access, and won't catch up with 30+ years of hard running. Glad to have your armchair...

Bit of a necropost, but can someone point me in the direction of where to find the RCN positional nametag instructions, and if there is specific rule for unit badges (vs the standard naval ensign). Representing a purple unit in an out of trade job at an upcoming professional conference and...

That's not how any of that works; the hull surveys are done by trained and experienced personnel who work for DND, and similar to piping. You can only do a lot of it when the ship is out of the water, and paint has been blasted off. When the 5 year PM gets extended to 8 years, surveys get...

Mate, someone put a hammer through the hull on the underwater portion because all that was left is structural rust. It only got worse as they poked at it, and then when they started pulling piping to do an insert they realized they had to replace a lot of the piping as well. They don't need to...

Standard industry marine technician training to get to be a 4th class Engineer is a two year college diploma, plus time at sea, plus qualification exams. This NSCC program includes a six month sailing period...

They are cultivating ignorance deliberately, under a false banner of competence, which is becoming a common theme. If Tylenol was the cause, the Amish and lots of other communities wouldn't have any incidents, and you wouldn't have historical figures from pre acetaminophen days with pretty...

Sure, but the RCD is coming with zero training bunks and a massive crewing requirement for the command and control monitoring in the ops room, with a pretty skeletal MSED on a very complex ship, so it won't be by having more people that can do less. Making use of standard commercial marine...

That works in some cases, but not when you need a certain level of skills to be going along with a platform. The reduced crewing model on warships and subs actually demands either more individual skills, or acceptance that you're more likely to lose a multi billion dollar strategic asset by...

@The Bread Guy The criteria for ASD, ADHD, etc have changed constantly over the last 20 years, with a lot of previously completely separate diagnoses merged under the same umbrella, and actual diagnoses is pretty subjective in any case as it's based on behaviour not any kind of consistent...
