The US Army's efficiency-driven sustainment model, optimized for permissive environments, is ill-suited for modern multidomain warfare, where survival under persistent attack determines victory. Historical and contemporary conflicts show that centralized logistics collapse under attrition, demanding decentralized, survivable sustainment networks to match industrial-scale combat endurance.

Written for the 250th anniversary of 1776, this essay reconsiders the United States as a “system of states” and asks whether federative and polycentric orders can coordinate at scale without drifting toward and polycentric theories rightly emphasise the virtues of exit, decentralised experimentation, local knowledge, and institutional diversity. Yet successful systems of states do not merely ...
Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can.
Disclaimer: An earlier version of this post claimed the structure is wait-free, this is incorrect. Being wait-free requires that failure or suspension of any thread can’t cause failure or suspension of another thread. This queue in fact does not fulfill that requirement. The main section which discusses the wait bounds of queue operations has been amended to reflect this, but other parts of ...
Researchers found peptides in Tasmanian cave spider and giant Japanese funnel-web spider venom that can kill varroa mites without harming honeybees. These biodegradable peptides could lead to a sustainable treatment for varroa mite infestations in honeybee hives.
The model's performance is determined by its training data and context, with established patterns in popular tech stacks giving it an advantage. A codebase rewrite can help rebuild around clear patterns, leveraging AI strengths and reducing the time spent on teaching it proprietary languages.
This well-designed study offers important insights into the development of infants' responses to music based on the exploration of EEG neural auditory responses and video-based movement analysis. The compelling results revealed that evoked responses emerge between 3 and 12 months of age, but no age group demonstrated evidence of coordinated movements to music. This study will be of ...
Hey HN! We built a browser-based agent that runs inside an authenticated web app, watches how the app calls its own APIs, and automatically turns those into agent tools. You can think of it as an auto-generated MCP server that self-updates as the host app changes. The result is a skilled AI assistant that actually integrates deeply with any product (not just chat and RAG) with minimal effort. ...
Wire transitioned from Cloudflare Durable Objects to a custom-built runtime for improved performance, control, and isolation, embedding SQLite with vector indexes to reduce latency and enhance retrieval accuracy.
