They're changing the calculus for war. This is Russia's unintended consequence for invading Ukraine. Their opponent is motivated to rethink how war is fought. https://youtu.be/19nAlSxDZFU?si=4XBg2LI8wWtMtje302 May 2026 10:57 +0000at://did:plc:i5x3eb76crb4rousjkkk6i5l/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkuibovxwc26https://bsky.app/profile/drsmith.bsky.social/post/3mkuhsqzbpk26Ukrainians have won a battle with uncrewed ground vehicles (UGV). This is something that the US TACOM/TARDEC had a vision for back in the 1990s and invited engineering student groups (like mine) to participate in an annual student competition for back then. But 2026 is when it finally happened.02 May 2026 10:48 +0000at://did:plc:i5x3eb76crb4rousjkkk6i5l/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkuhsqzbpk26https://bsky.app/profile/drsmith.bsky.social/post/3mktckeqjcc2oI’m with Dunning-Kruger.

A lot of engineering type people are exploring agentic AI coding. And, of course, they're worried about privacy and cost, so many are exploring running codex or claude code on their own machines rather than in the cloud. The result?
