On Wednesday into Thursday, there will be a night training exercise over the D.C. area involving multiple aircraft, @NORADCommand announces

Not so long ago, the biggest topic in defense tech was Silicon Valley’s reluctance to work with the Pentagon. The total reversal of that dynamic has been nothing short of mind blowing.

If machine learning can win the physics Nobel, where do we draw the line? Everything is physics if you squint hard enough

2 men stopped in front of my car and demanded that I give my number.
