The Isle of Wight. He's saying the Isle of Wight should be curtailed as soon as possible. Who can argue with that?Absolutely fascinating long read RUSI article which has major implication for UK defence procurement.What is "IOW" in this context?
Apart from the enormously expanded role of all kinds of drones (which will be essential on any conceivable battlefield), the use and utility of armour has been greatly reduced.
And the new systems which the UK is procuring are particularly unsuited to the new warfare.
Speed and manoeuvrability (and recoverability, repairability and ease of maintenance), are now far more important than better armour or increased firepower.
IOW, Challenger 3 and Ajax should probably be curtailed as soon as possible, and the funding put into more effective systems.

What a day. Banned. Unbanned. Just waiting for my free holiday.That's the trouble with this country. Moderate, sensible posters like you are victimised, persecuted and ultimately banned, while vicious, extreme posters get away with murder, sometimes literally.
It's about time that the moderators focused on the real criminals rather than those posting harmless nonsense.

If "Hell is other people" as Sartre wrote, then a combination of Reform and Green voters is very likely to be the correct formula!

New: Across Silicon Valley, AI researchers are putting in 80-100 hour workweeks to keep pace with technological progress.Doesn't sound a very efficient workforce.
Several compared it to war, and one executive even joked that the new work schedule is "0-0-2," midnight to midnight with two hours off.

Have they tried using AI models to help them?

We shouldn't buy anything for ourselves until the Ukraine war is over. The technology turnover is too high! Buy stuff and give it to the Ukrainians to test.Absolutely fascinating long read RUSI article which has major implication for UK defence procurement.Oh God... ramping up defence spending on obsolete technology sounds just about right for our political system.

I haven't opened a new bank account in over a quarter of a century, but this sounds fucking brilliant - no more rummaging: the POWER.. Sign me up!Isn’t the bill used as proof of address, not identity?

It’s frustrating having to rummage around in a drawer, looking for an old electricity bill just to open a new bank account.

I'm on the Tube. Everyone's looking a bit tired, lots of faces staring down at their phones. Cultural coherence levels high.
