  • These aren’t probably news by itself, these were news when these laws and guidelines themselves appeared around 2021 when it was suggested by everyone but wasn’t clear if Russia starts things and it was used as a proof it would. I’m yet to hear this specific law getting used though, and article kinda shoulders that.

    The Kremlin has begun distributing an updated instruction manual to military units engaged in its war in Ukraine on the preparation and maintenance of mass graves.

    That contradicts what written on the cover - last paragraph dedicates it to (probably) law students becoming candidates of science, a step before becoming doctors and after getting bachelor’s and master’s degree. But I suppose it’s formal and doesn’t mean much. I just wonder who the fuck would waste small amount of hours at that level of education on that niche subject that no one but lawyers specified in military cases gonna use. As a practical guide with all the beaurocratic measures to dig graves in the legal, specific way - yeah, they are mostly needed on the frontlines. But I have my doubts anyone would care to do such things by the book and am surprised there’s no moss-covered standard from the soviet 70s to cover that like it usually happens.


  • I don’t know how it works with a frequently updating OS. In my mind beaurocrats can become asses about certifying one exact version they inspected and then making users afraid that open source community can inject the next version with viruses and they can’t be sure it’s okay too. Ah, and making each certification a paid service and somehow fucking it up.

    In Russia there are like two projects of local Linux with custom wine that you can buy just like other software, certified by FSB for sensitive business (I believe them being the first pieces of software to get it except specific cryptographic stuff), but I feel the reason it’s getting adopted and certified is because there are some nepotism and illegal connections with money not really changing pockets.












  • Yep, it’s no more than a stress test for a robot to keep it’s balance in motion, coupled with some partnership and a nice PR showcase of what it can do in a humanized scenario that we meatbags can relate to.

    Moving stuff in a predictable fashion is easily done with forklift\suction cup robots on rails that can ride floors and climb shelves while being powered from the line 100% of time. Iirc Boston Dynamics did such robots too. Making robots carry stuff around on legs sounds like a c/crazyideas material.

    What they can do then though is use this amount of R&D to build a robot that does need all of that. From automatic surgery machines to rescue scouts and, yes, killbots. Both rough terrain and sensitive tasks need a self-regulating system to orchestrate the motion in all these motors right.





  • Astra (used in MIC) is outdated shit, RED OS (more commercial) is cooler and wine’d in a lot of our windows-oriented apps, but both would have a hard time without international community if threatened.

    That’s just some figureheads shitting with their mouths. There are millions of machines still running Windows with no way to change without a pushback from users and admins, and also some Linux machines that would only suffer if we branch out.
