Who&#x27;s doing the f35 transparent cockpit thing, what system is behind that?<p>I can hardly picture soldiers running into combat wearing of oculus goggles, maybe they&#x27;re pivoting to something better for the drone pilots, intelligence &#x2F; command. I&#x27;m picturing Battlefield II style drone based targeting, but I don&#x27;t really know what the use case is here<p>I&#x27;ll add an anecdote from an army buddy: he hates it when the command hands down Batman utility belt shit like this, promising enhanced intel and connectivity.<p>1. It&#x27;s just more equipment that will malfunction when they&#x27;re trying not to die<p>2. Having your command looking over your shoulders is not necessarily tied to good outcomes - somebody not on the battlefield is now backseat driving and second guessing your decisions instead of trusting you to execute.

Shout out to Palmer Luckey Land. Fun fact, the new court next door was built by DEC --notice the street address? It was a joke on IBM.

I&#x27;m sure the AR will do something extremely useful - perhaps draw firearms on the civilians in view.

I saw that picture of Andurils founder and immediately thought: &quot;they are all going to jail.&quot;

Perfect opportunity for doge to cut some fat here. What’s that? It’s a Thiel project? Guess not.
