https://www.defensenews.com/naval/2021/ ... ff-russia/ODESA, Ukraine — When Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, it absorbed land and people. But in the process, and with less attention, Russia also took 75 percent of Ukraine’s naval fleet, the majority of its helicopters and the bulk of the country’s ship repair capacity.
With Sevastopol Naval Base gone, the Ukrainian Navy essentially needed to start from scratch. Seventy percent of naval personnel either defected or were dismissed, and the fleet was now just one frigate — a ship that had been deployed at the time.
Since then, the United States, the United Kingdom and other NATO members have guided the Black Sea nation to rebuild its fleet as well as its ground and special operations forces. And this summer, the effort has taken another step forward by helping the nation achieve interoperability with NATO forces.
In practical terms, that support has led to a “mosquito fleet” of small vessels for near-shore operations to protect Ukraine’s territorial waters and shorelines, said Cmdr. Daniel Marzluff of 6th Fleet, one of the U.S. Navy’s experts on the region.

https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/chatgp ... s-fine-nowOpenAI’s popular ChatGPT artificial intelligence (AI) system suffered a bit of a public meltdown between Feb. 20 and 21 that had it confusing and confounding users by spouting gibberish and other strangeness including unprompted pseudo-Shakespeare. It’s unclear at this time what precisely caused the problem and OpenAI hasn’t yet responded to our request for comment.
Based on a cursory examination of the reported outputs, it would appear as though ChatGPT experienced some form of tokenization confusion. Due to the black box nature of large language models built on GPT technology, it may not be possible for scientists at OpenAI to diagnose exactly what went wrong. If this is the case, it’s likely the team will focus on preventative measures such as implementing further guardrails against long strings of apparent gibberish.

I think its amazing that the Russian Black Sea Fleet ships being blown up and sunk are thousands of times larger than the brave little Ukrainaian sea drones attacking them.
I'm not suggesting that the sea drones are sentient and feel brave and courageous emotions....I'm just using the term "brave little sea drone" to show my personal admiration for the innovation the vastly outnumbered and outgunned Ukrainians have shown in developing a simple, small, inexpensive technology that is capable of destroying Russian ships thousands of times larger and costing millions and millions of rubles to replace.
Ka-BOOM! The brave little Ukrainian sea drones sink another very expensive Russian ship and with each ship sunk the Russian Black Sea Fleet becomes a little smaller
Cheers!

https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/cos ... ians/iraqiNo one knows with certainty how many people have been killed and wounded in Iraq since the 2003 United States invasion. However, we know that between 280,771-315,190 have died from direct war related violence caused by the U.S., its allies, the Iraqi military and police, and opposition forces from the time of the invasion through March 2023. The violent deaths of Iraqi civilians have occurred through aerial bombing, shelling, gunshots, suicide attacks, and fires started by bombing. Many civilians have also been injured.
