    No, the opposite has happened with this war. Adversaries globally have seen the ability of the US and Israel to operate with near-impunity over Iran, and it has destroyed confidenc…

    You have the same issue with the conventional bombs and their guidance kits, which when delivered in contested areas are not usually cheaper. The issue is general industrial capaci…

    The headline is inaccurate, as the article actually says that the US Army has used nearly all of its long-range precision missiles, referring to ATACMS and PCM. First, those are sh…

    > A new, fully equipped ambulance is about $150k. This is definitely not true. A base model unequipped ambulance may be in that ballpark. A fully equipped ambulance will vary wildl…

    I tried to find the asterisk there to see the details, but could not. FWIW I think that HEMS cost is significantly under costed, as the London HEMS H135s run about £2,500 per fligh…

    And overheid.nl is their government site for that reason.

    Yes, which I think is also very common, but what Wikipedia was referring to is that there's no official second-level domain for Government, unlike say gov.br or gov.uk). Gov.nl is …

    That's the most common approach globally. Like most countries, the Dutch Government use .gov.nl.

    Our developers work office hours, but would frequently have 10 plus sessions open. Massive parallelism is one of the benefits of agentic coding.

    Yes, subjectively there do seem to be moments where the quality of the output drops significantly - usually during US peak hours.

    No, current LLMs are already good enough to read the subtexts from documents, email, call transcripts where available. They're extremely good at identifying unwritten business prac…
