fullsquare@awful.systemsto World News@lemmy.world•34% of Russian strategic missile bombers at main airfields damaged in Ukrainian drone operation, SBU reportsEnglish11·2 天前Ukrainian AA can’t reach these bombers because these were used as launching platforms for long range missiles over Caspian, relocating SAM sites does nothing. Also it’s likely that what was hit were good planes, some of which were even fitted with Kh-101 cruise missiles at the time of attack, and part of what is left are planes under maintenance. It could be so that only third or less of long range bombers are usable now, which would most obviously increase wear on them in immediate future

fullsquare@awful.systemsto TechTakes@awful.systems•You can’t feed generative AI on ‘bad’ data then filter it for only ‘good’ dataEnglish51·10 天前well for one it looks like that wasn’t one off and more of a pattern. i remember this one https://lemmy.world/post/25606000/15124978 and i’ve heard of this one https://lemmy.cafe/post/13433291/9941167 also in modlog you can see that that account was mass-banned from ml subs just five days ago so it’s not some ancient incident
