As far as I know all cheap drone tech is provided by China (to both Russia and Ukraine).

It's largely kind of an international open-source effort, but there is a lot of crucial hardware that is only available from China, yes. Until this week I think Anduril was in a good position to become an alternative to China in two to four years, but this move strongly undermines their credibility overseas.

As search engine LLMs are nice. But for code generation they are not. Everytime it generates code there are small bugs that I don't notice directly but will bite me later.

For example a peace of code with a foreach loop that uses the collection name inside the loop instead of the item name.

Or a very nice looking peace of code but with a method call that does not exist in the used library.

I think the weakness of AI/LMMs is that it outputs probabilities. If the code you request is very common than it will probably generate good code. But that's about it. It can not reason about code (it maybe can 'reason' about the probability of the generated answer).

I am using Jetbrain's AI to do code analysis (find errors).

While it sometimes spot something I missed it also gives a lot of confident 'advise' that is just wrong or not useful.

Current AI tools are still sophisticated search engines. They cannot reason or think.

So while I think it could spot some errors in research papers I am still very sceptical that it is useful as trusted source.

'Pleaing guilt' means 'taking the blame'. It is not a proof of guilt. So the answer to your question should be: no.

In general, when will the US stop considering acceptable that... you cannot lie to the police, but the police can lie to you?

When will everyone believe that making someone take the blame in exchange for a shorter time in jail is beneficial to society at large... when the real perpetrator walks away unscathed, and a innocent is jailed for something he didn't even commit?

I'd say the main thing is police should show how all leads have been followed, the investigation followed a logical and evidence based approach and all evidence handed to defence.

You can lie to the police, no? It is not a crime per se.

In, like, an interview situation, no, you won't get an additional charge. I am not a lawyer but. It is a crime to lie to federal agents, specifically the FBI. I'm not sure about the rest. And if you do light of the police, it'll be held against you. But even if you don't lie to the police, it'll be held against you. So, you know, just don't say anything. Except "lawyer, please."
