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.

His fucking obsession with computer vision. He’s so convinced he’s right he forgot that clouds exist… and his cars plow straight into obstacles.

Yeah, the "lidar is useless" guy whose cars are consistently crashing into things when visibility is bad is telling us that he can do the same thing with missile targeting systems... Sounds like a great idea

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, well, missiles are supposed to crash into things. The right things? Not his job.

And that a plane at altitude is too small for wide field cameras which means scanning the sky with narrow fov detectors.

And F-35s are really fast. By the time you recognize and can target it, it'll fly behind a cloud or something. So not only do you need to make a really fast rocket w/ vision-based AI integrated, it also needs to be able to detect said plane at great distances, as well as maneuver well enough to see it as it exits clouds and whatnot. That's a lot more complicated than slapping radar on something with heat tracking at close distances.

this has existed for over 2 decades now btw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EuroFIRST_PIRATE

Wouldn’t matter for IR vision, which the F-35 already has.

My friend bought a red car specifically so it could be seen by Tesla's cameras.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

I have bad news for him. They can't see firetrucks reliably.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

No no. See guessing objects from flat images is much better than using math and lidar. Especially if you may have a flawed llm model.

Given how advanced our math and knowledge of radar is, it is literally stupid to use them.

See, those, radar, lidar and math give you a 3d objects.

Oh, wait. It is the other way around.

He's not, otherwise he would know that "low light sensitivity" cameras aren't "sensitive in low-light conditions" but "with lower than normal light sensitivity".

In an imaginary world where cameras are way more expensive, he'd absolutely be pushing LiDAR in cars. The metrics he cares about are cost and marketability (cool factor), or money for short.
