TONY STARK WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS, ELON.

IN A CAVE YOU FUCKING INBRED. A CAVE!!!

"laughably easy to take down fighter jets"

yeah all you have to do is ban the kid running the elon jet twitter. Seems easy enough to me.

For those doing the maths at home:

An F35 who obligingly flies top-towards-you (not exactly something you can do, but hey, maybe they're turning) is all of 10m tall.

An AIM-120C can very comfortably hit a target at 100km.

At that range, the F-35 takes up 26 arcseconds, or 0.007 degrees. That's roughly about the size of this period, at a distance of 3 meters away.

[ . ]

Good luck spotting that in a sky of roughly the same colour, full of other objects.

[-] Ledivin@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

Yeah but what about the AI? Have you thought about the AI that would be running it, which never misses, and would totally be a useful existing thing? 😉

[-] jimbolauski@lemm.ee 13 points 2 hours ago

You can place cameras anywhere, they don't need to be right next to what is being targeted. Nearer ranges will allow AI to misidentify at much higher rates than max standoff ranges of an AIM-120C.

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago

I don’t think you were getting enough credit for ‘misidentify’.

and then also dealing with the F-35 itself, even if you managed to lock on and target it, it will have anti-warfare capabilities you have to contend with.

Just for reference: JWST has an optical resolution of 0.07 arcseconds. It’s a mirror 22 feet in diameter though, not something you’d put inside a missile guidance package.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 14 points 4 hours ago

"I said AI sir!"

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 2 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, sure. But that doesn't matter if you point the AI at it with a really good zoom lens, though. And then you have a ton of them, pointed in an directions, like the compound eye of a fly. F35 spotted.

Pffffffff

I can see that bright white dot against the dark mode background on my maximum brightness screen with ease! Therefore your argument is invalid!

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago

with a big enough screen i bet an AI camera could see it too

Guy whose cars run into stopped fire trucks thinks he’s an expert on computer vision.

[-] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Speaking of fire trucks has anyone here ever read the emergency response procedures for teslas in severe accidents? When I was a volunteer we gave it a look over.

If I remember right, Depending on the model they recommend up to 8,000 gallons (~30k liters) to keep an overheating battery's temp stable in case of fire or exposure to high heat. I'll link the resource page here.

Our engine holds 700 gallons (5.2k liters) and the typical tanker in our area holds 2,000 (7.5k liters)

That's a house fire level response for a single electric vehicle. Just getting that much water moved to a scene would be challenging. We have tankers, but how many city departments can move that much water? You don't see hydrants on highways. And foam is not effective like it is for normal car fires. The future will be interesting for firefighters.

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 7 points 4 hours ago

30,000 liters is 30m^3, which is a back yard swimming pool full of water.

[-] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Now imagine a house on fire with a tesla in the garage or multiple vehicle accidents. Now you need that much more

But was it a "stealthy" fire truck??

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 18 points 8 hours ago

Yes, but the car only had enough low-light cameras but not enough rudimentary AI

[-] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 68 points 9 hours ago

Someone died because one of those cars thought the broadside of a white semi trailer was the sky and drove under it

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I thought it mistook the semi that was crossing a divided highway as an overpass and attempted to drive under it?

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 105 points 8 hours ago

If a fighter jet is within visual range of a camera, it's already too late. And that's if there aren't any clouds.

[-] Slab_Bulkhead@lemmy.world 47 points 8 hours ago

your not thinking like a musk, not if the government pays the subscription and contract for his early warning camera drone balloon swarm thing or something something they could run on ketamine or something.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 102 points 9 hours ago

Sir, our air defence is down!

Is it hackers?

No sir, it's cloudy.

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 13 points 6 hours ago

Mr richest man on earth with tesla and space x doesn't even have an electric private jet

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 41 points 8 hours ago

That fucker really thinks he's so smart when all he does is constantly demonstrate what an idiot he is.

[-] 1SimpleTailor@startrek.website 13 points 6 hours ago

His rise really is symbolic of the rot that has taken hold of our society. Truly, our most degenerate moron has risen to the top of the shit pile.

[-] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 63 points 9 hours ago

someone tell ellen about beyond visual range

Elon Musk is an idiot

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Just use multiple nuclear power plants to power an AI that constantly scans the sky.

Are we sure he's not an NCD poster?

Edit to add - Musk unlocked the achievement, personal enemy of the DoD and entire defense industry. I'm getting popcorn for this.

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 33 points 8 hours ago

Looks like being rich and surrounding yourself with yes-people is the #1 cause of sitting confidently at the top of the Dunning-Krueger curve.

[-] SamuraiBeandog@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

He's riding that curve like one of those surfing dogs.

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

I think the better analogy is that he has set up camp on top of Mount Stupid and ain't moving from it.

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

People will pilgrimage to the peak of Mount Stupid to pray at the alter of his HYPEoxia.

[-] wizzor@sopuli.xyz 43 points 9 hours ago

Also... Fighters are fast, the point is you should fire the missile before you see it.

[-] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 37 points 8 hours ago

The f-35 is built for engagements outside the horizon, like, the target is blocked by the curvature of the earth.

Light sensitive cameras and rudimentary AI..

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 6 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Pssh, all you need is a gravity lens to bend the light, problem solved!

[-] frezik@midwest.social 7 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

So we use a black hole to bend space time and look into the past where it isn't. We know where it isn't in the past.

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

but have you considered that if i can’t see it then it doesn’t exist?

[-] ddplf@szmer.info 20 points 9 hours ago

MUH AY-EI

Did he replace his brain with AI already? Because it sure fucking looks like it.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 16 points 8 hours ago

He has always been this stupid.

[-] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 hours ago

His greatest achievement has been buying contracts that state he has invented things that he didn't invent.

[-] don@lemm.ee 17 points 9 hours ago

Dude’s brain is shit design and fucking sucks, actually

[-] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 14 points 8 hours ago

What a fucking loser

[-] JoShmoe@ani.social 8 points 8 hours ago

Well if we’re on shitting on his character. This man had the opportunity to change the approach to implementing neuralink tech to make it less destructive but instead chose to continue with their direction. A direct competitor has since proven that there was no need to be so invasive.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
