>Putin hints AI may be key to Russia beating US in defense despite budget gap
“Russia must be among the leaders – and in some areas the absolute leader – in creating an army of the new generation, an army of a new technological paradigm. This is an issue of highest priority for ensuring our sovereignty, peace and safety of our citizens, a stable development of the country, pursuing an open and independent foreign policy that is based on the interests of our country,” he told the generals.
He compared Russia’s defense spending, which will be about $80 billion in 2018, or roughly 2.85 percent of expected GDP according to government estimates, to America’s $700+ billion funding, and said the obvious disparity can only be addressed if Russia uses brains to defend itself.
“We have to be smart. We will not rely solely on ‘military muscle,’ and we will not be drawn into an economically depleting, senseless arms race,” he said. “We don’t’ need an endless number of bases throughout the world and will not play world gendarme.”
>The term ‘technological paradigm’ is drawn from a theory that states that the way a society organizes itself is based on certain key technologies. According to the theory, the current fifth paradigm, which has come to life thanks to microelectronics and digital advances, is in the process of being replaced by a new paradigm, although which technologies would shape it is yet to be seen. Bioengineering, artificial intelligence, and nano-scale manufacturing techniques are among the candidates.
Considering Putin’s fondness for artificial intelligence, which, he previously said, will give a decisive edge to countries perfecting the technology, one can safely assume that AI would have a prominent role in the future of the Russian military, experts tell RT. In fact, some such algorithms are already used for military purposes.

So muhreens will be out from syria or not?

For example, the new Russian military command center, which was inaugurated over three years ago, “already has many elements that could be called AI-related,” military expert Aleksey Leonkov said. Self-teaching algorithms are used to analyze and summarize the massive amount of data the center receives from multiple military and civilian sources, from base commander reports and satellite images to national statistics. This computer-assisted approach can dramatically boost logistics efficiency.
>“The logistic part of the operation in Syria was about providing and transporting a large number of cargos in an optimal way, economically speaking. The data streams detailing ammo use and movement of ships were processed by AI algorithms,” Leonkov said.
The issue of economy is often essential for the military. For example, drone swarms may become a problem not because they are difficult to shoot down, but because doing so with expensive surface-to-air missiles is not economically feasible, compared to shooting down multimillion-dollar warplanes.
“That is why defense producers are working on adequate responses to this threat, which would use cheap laser beams or microwaves. Military lasers are first of all meant to blind optic sensors of aircraft or guided missiles,” he said.
Another area well-suited for AI is automatic threat recognition. “It was tested first for simpler data like air and satellite images and is now being implemented for radar stations. Recognizing among thousands of objects those which pose a threat is the job that an AI is good at, given the correct criteria,” Application may come down to individual systems, he added. An air defense system may use AI to sort out targets and choose which to engage first, which can wait, and which are decoys.
>A Russian comedy duo has apparently pranked US envoy to the UN Nikki Haley
A Russian comedy duo has apparently pranked US envoy to the UN Nikki Haley, who assured them the US is closely following the situation on the fictional island of Binomo and will “continue to remind” Russia “what their place is.”
>During the 22-minute conversation with their interlocutor, whose voice and tone strikingly resembled that of the UN envoy, the pranksters raised concerns over Russian interference in the political affairs of an imaginary South China Sea island – Binomo – which does not exist on the world map. Haley, however, seemed to be on top of things, claiming the US is watching the situation there very carefully.
>“Do you know Binomo?” the impersonator asked. “They have declared independence. They had elections, and we suppose Russians had its intervention.”
“Yes, of course they did, absolutely,” Haley confidently replied.
Roadside bomb blast kills 7 civilians in southern Afghanistan
Seven civilians were killed when a van hit a roadside bomb in the southern Helmand province. Omar Zwak, spokesman for the provincial capital, said 10 individuals were inside the van, but added the exact number of those killed cannot be immediately established. Police spokesman Abdul Salam Afghan confirmed the blast and casualties. No group has claimed credit for the blast, but it is known the Taliban has a strong presence in the area.
France deploys nearly 100,000 security personnel for Christmas
The French government will deploy nearly 100,000 security personnel for Christmas as the extremist threat remains high, the French Interior Ministry said in a statement. “To ensure the security on December 24-25, 54,000 police officers, 36,000 gendarmes, and 7,000 soldiers of Operation Sentinel, a total of 97,000, will be mobilized throughout the country,” Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said. Operation Sentinel was launched by the French Army in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo attacks in January 2015 and the later Paris attacks.

shawarma meal with 19$ holy shit that's a fucking ripoff.
Colton Carter
the 'doc' you talked to was an impersonator i never post ISIS stuff
Camden Adams
Too bad user. Is there any hope it will end soon? Also just wanted to say, very respectable thing you did there, instead of being a coward and deciding to flee your country, you decided to stay.
Jose Long
Naah, i am from colombo, blue bloodied, but live in the outskirts of the city. Dont really want to get into the whole "Christmas festive on the Island." And then you have new years. Almost every place is closed down. i hate the holidays, with the exception of summer and v-day. Going to spend the day watching sopranos, prioritizing myself and probably go for a walk outside.
Jace Wilson
In the USA, depending on where you live, is a normal price. Where I used to live, a carne asada burrito could cost about $12.
Evan Barnes
I slowly move 2 missle cruisers towards your shores
Leo Turner
Yea, it's a bit pricey but it's enough for 2 and it's good af.
Michael Perez
Where i used to live, shawarma was less than dollar
Ian Hall
>tfw I can order a Gyro with Fetuccini fries and a can of soda for 5 euros
It's such a good deal out here.
Matthew Torres
I quickly go to the European parliament and tell Germoney to Gibs monies and reperashuns for WW2.
Hudson Wright
Care to post proofs that it's really you?
Colton Thomas
You won't find shawarma here for that price. Surprise, shit costs more in America.
Julian Phillips
kiss my ass mark, and i hope you choke on a dick in your shitty party.
Ryan Powell
Busy with exams?

>Is there any hope it will end soon? don't think so the UN is despartly trying to prolong the stalemate to keep the country in its fucked status, but there is hope the LNA is stronger then ever they can easily steamroll some druggies aks in pickup trucks. >Also just wanted to say, very respectable thing you did there, instead of being a coward and deciding to flee your country, you decided to stay. libyans who flee usually are from the ghettos who have no hope for the future. i also like living here even though it's shit it's not that bad.
that's a tiny plate you get a lot more in here for 11 LYD.
Henry Hernandez

Thomas Hughes
nope just /sg/ deteriorating so much that being bored is better than lurking guess you won't be seeing me anytime soon
Chase Harris
before the prices got multiplyed by 6 you can get a tasty huge shawarma for a 1.26 LYD (1$)
Blake Morgan
That'll run you about $12 here, at least from the place I go.
That plate doesn't show how much you actually get, it's probably a stock photo. Anyways, things tend to cost more here, doesn't surprise me at all, in fact I'm surprised you pay the equivalent of $8 there, figured it'd be cheaper.
Lucas Miller
awww well its okay lad i am off dont stay up too late
