West Africa is the Latest Testing Ground for US Military Artificial Intelligence
barovsky, The New Dark Age - 20 hours ago
One striking feature of US military involvement in West Africa is the absence of an observable strategic vision for a desired end state. Nominally, US presence in the region’s multilayered conflicts revolves around building “security cooperation” with state partners to improve counterterrorism capabilities, ostensibly providing protection to communities that states cannot. Concurrently, the US military is typically the prime diplomatic entity for high-level bilateral engagements. The result is that the US military is propping up the public authority of weak states, albeit in an ad h...

Escobar: Putin Rewrites The Law Of The Geopolitical Jungle
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
I find the maintenance of a faux opposition to russia by the 'West' to be absurd and increditably stupid unless you happen to be a sociopath wanting a ruinous war.. This has been true since 1990 and only more so for every passing year. Now the F**ks have attempted to launch a coup in Belarus. It has obviously been stopped hard. It compares to the obvious meddling in the Ukraine. Both these and the other surrounds calls for a international border Commision that works out a proper adjustment and particularly in regards to a better disposition with the Ukraine. It has been th...
Here’s the Secret to Staying Mentally Sharp, According to a Psychiatrist and a Neurologist
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
The first take home is that all we have been taught is questionable. Then it is a question of diet enhancement which you should be doing as a matter of course. i will not push a particualr diet, as by now that should be obvious. If you are not actively practising best food habits, then you are also not reading an item like this. The good news is to simply pay attention. That also helps. *Here’s the Secret to Staying Mentally Sharp, According to a Psychiatrist and a Neurologist* *Emily Laurence・April 24, 2021* *https://www.wellandgood.com/how-to-stay-mentally-sharp/* *It ...
Plasma Kinetics Light-Activated Hydrides
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This will be huge because all battery systems store chemical energy. The best source of chemical energy has always been hydrogen. storage was the problem. Now we can store it with hydrides and then release it using light. Hydrides have been understood for a long time, but this is a practical system for using it. It also supplies a viable hydrogen supply for fuel cells as well. Again a long lasting problem. Finally tapping hydrides for hydrogen storage makes the whole power grid system wonderfully efficient. It would be amusing if the onsert of full EV economics creates a ...
New Malaria Vaccine Trial Reports 77 Percent Efficacy Rate
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This is promising. With everything else we throw at it, it may well be enough to really drive it out. This has happened in plenty of places, but has always taken a major multi pronged assault. Just eliminating the potential human resovoir is only part of the solution. Real global eradication is a long way off but still underway thanks to modetrnity. after all that means largely living in sealed homes without the chance of nightime predation by mosquitos. I grew up eliminating mosquitoes every night and i am sure this is common. This type of vaccine is likely sufficient to block...
