Fetch can't do a lot of table stakes stuff...

Ok, well have AI write some table stakes for you in 10 minutes with 100% test coverage and only provide exactly what "table stakes" you are missing without any bells and whistles.

Such as?

One I’ve noticed is download/upload progress.

You’ve been able to do download/upload progress using the Streams API with fetch for more than seven years now. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Streams_API

on the FE?

The streams API exists on the FE, you can pipe an upload or download through a TransformStream to monitor progress

You can't really take out "the whole" air defense system because there will always be folks out with MANPAD-type things, those will score hits on occasion. That's probably what we saw here. I doubt MANPADs were nearly as common in the early 90s as they are today.

The videos we've seen match up with what we've seen on the ground. They are all running a custom software we haven't seen elsewhere and don't seem to be traditional MANPADS in any way.

We know Iran is driving around bongo trucks with small SAM systems on the back that use passive IRST rather than radar. The missiles themselves have the capability to cruise in the air for some period of time searching for a target before kicking in the engine for a last, fast sprint to the target. Because they are electro-optical (and piloted by a human), even early-warning and flare deployments won't do very much against a skilled operator.

Interesting, thank you! I haven't see this.

> custom software

Are you referring to screen recordings they've released?

True but without radar they have a relatively difficult task of being out there setup and waiting for a fast moving jet to pass within range.

Compare that to Ukraine defending it's skies with NATO (well mostly French IIRC) AWACS feeding early data which is what made MANPADS in Ukraine so effective against Russian attacks.

Yeah my guess was they were coming in along predictable routes at this point and that's what got them? I saw that the search and rescue mission was in an area close to water. I believe many Stinger hits in Ukraine can be attributed to predictability.

And maybe they do have some kind of radars?

There have been no legitimate reports of NATO providing real time AWACs feeds to Ukraine.

I don't think manpads themselves are connected to the AWACS infrastructure.

It's more that high altitude planes get picked up by the AWACS while low flight is at risk of being shot at by a MANPAD.

don't worry, they'll have plenty of opportunity to mess with AI. Fun thing about AI is that you just use it and helps you, I don't know that there's much to learn there in terms of end user experience.

On the other hand, the stuff that AI helps with (intelligence) is not something you can skip learning and expect a good outcome.

> But do we really have to wait for astronauts to die to re-learn the same lessons a third time?

Humans don't seem to learn in the way we think or what them to

"weird pbotons"

Always appreciate people seeking clarity on positions that are not clearly elaborate/taken for granted. Kind of stresses me out sometimes.

Dunno... with this setup it seems certain that the agent will discover a zero-day to escalate privilges and send your SSH keys to its handlers in N. Korea.

P.S. Everything old is new again <3

Yeah definitely a concern. Probably need a sandbox and separate user for defense in depth.

> ... isn't Ukraine also begging for the multi-million dollar weapons? Are Patriots ...

Yeah they want Patriots but they want them for taking out relatively expensive Russian ballistic missiles. If those ballistics/hypersonics start costing $100k, Patriots will not be a viable defense against this.
