Big thanks to @penswordbooks for publishing my first book: Airborne Anti-submarine Warfare - From the First World War to the Present Day pen-and-sword.co.uk/Airborne-Anti-…
Haywood is right on this IMO. Clients hiring legal counsel or consulting aren’t just buying the deliverable or advice. They’re buying permissioning, professional cover, and support. AI disintermediating this high touch support will likely take a long time.
Remember—law firms wouldn’t even benefit from AI that did the work, because their model is hourly billing. Doing something faster and cheaper is a bug, not a feature.
The LLMs are advancing but as a former MBB associate, got to wonder, how does this shift the profit model? Clients are aware of the rate cards and that they’re linked to hourly or FTE billing rates. If client feels they’re getting AI not human output, will they be OK? Unlikely.
A partner at a prominent law firm told me “AI is now doing work that used to be done by 1st to 3rd year associates. AI can generate a motion in an hour that might take an associate a week. And the work is better. Someone should tell the folks applying to law school right now.”
In their defense, a pretty good chirp. What plays for work wear amongst airline pilots and steely eyed missile men not necessarily universally transferable.
A former employer of mine was pretty formal (at least before COVID). I *once* wore a short sleeved shirt and tie to a meeting, and was asked, "Where do you think this is, NASA?"
Interesting to see this program come online along with recent EC-37 stand up for Italy. Strong new European SIGINT forces standing up.

Tomcatter colors are great. Second only to VFA-103. #felix #victory
Goodnight all
Josh is spot on - layering cost on spam would make our lives far better. Also, is there any more common remark than “Balaji was right?”
Spam is getting bad. 10, 20, 30 AI slop emails a day. Deleting them and blocking the domains now takes 5+ minutes a day. It’s only getting worse. The time is right for someone to try the “pay-to-email-me” model. In classic form, @balajis (and Earn) was just too early.
Yes. You’re confused because you’ve very likely never flown a jet or been in a ready room or served in combat or done dangerous work. The short sleeve and tie is tied to a culture focused on technical competence and execution under pressure. It isn’t stylish. It isn’t graceful.…
confused by the point people are trying to make in reaction to the person who said men shouldn't wear ties with short sleeved shirts. are they saying they want to walk around daily life dressed like an airline pilot, dwight schrute, or mormon missionaries?
Banger. You must RESPECT the short sleeve dress shirt and tie.
The short sleeve dress shirt Worn by the people who put a man on the moon. and then it disappeared forever Powerful garment America's Toga
No. The short sleeve shirt and tie put a man on the moon and is found in most every airliner cockpit. America is an aerospace republic - and here we respect the short sleeve shirt and tie.
My brothers in Christ, wearing a tie with a short sleeve collared shirt should be ILLEGAL.
Sad to see the first P-8 hull loss. So long BuNo 169561 🫡
The P-8A that crashed into the sea in 2023 has been written off and dismantled.facebook.com/share/v/16aG76…
Every Marine a sonobuoy launcher 🫡
Someone introduced sonobuoys to the Marine Corp... Navy gets fancy external launchers; Marine Corp uses a Corporal and can pass an Audit.
Part 380 charter will be the final nail in the coffin of the rail fantasy in USA. Ability to bypass TSA security and show up 30 mins before takeoff will mark major shift in air travel experience. Sub-750nm trips will be very different for professionals this next decade.
Rail is best used for freight while humans should fly through the sky at 500 miles per hour because they value their time.
Interestingly, it looks like the RAF E7 doesn't have the wingtip ESM sensors that the RAAF aircraft do
I want to believe….
>$950m loss on a classified FFP program wtf are these guys building
Read my classmate @PaulCasinelli ‘s recent piece on the great stagnation and techno-optimizing in American Affairs. Interesting work!
I wrote a review of Boom and New Lunar Society for @AmericanAffairs called "It's so Over. We're so back." It covers the Great Stagnation discourse kicked off by @tylercowen and @peterthiel and its evolution into a flavor of "doomer techno-optimism." Some highlights:
Very sad to see this breaking. If what is reported is correct, it appears crew of Jeju Air 2216 inadvertently shut down the wrong engine following a bird strike (which would explain configuration and appearance of one of the thrust reversers operating.) There's reason we focus…
The Jeju Air plane crash at Muan International Airport that killed 179 people in December has been linked to pilot error, according to a released interim report on the air disaster. The Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Board presented its latest report to the victims’…
