Smart Bullets: No more boots on the ground?

We are continually told that AI and autonomous robotic entities will put people out of work. Modern factory floors full of robots and not full of people, and modern mines full of driverless vehicles and robotic diggers (oh, hello Adani) attest to the truth of all of that.
But what about in the military sphere? Because we are also told that no matter what level of sophisticated weaponry one decimates enemy territory with, the only way to secure and hold territory is to put boots on the ground. The boots on the ground maxim has been a staple military requirement for thousands of years. If you don't get your garrisons in you don't get to hold the ground. To a great extent the maxim still holds true.
But for how much longer?
It is an unfortunate fact of modern life that there are multiple forms of smart weaponry patiently sitting out there waiting for either a sweaty or an eager finger to dab down on the red or coloured otherwise button. Smart Weaponry, AI controlled, and not necessarily endowed with an attached ethics module. Press. Boom. Goodbye worrying about the skyrocketing ascension of your next power bill.
But those weapons, multiple nuclear or biological warheaded ICBMs and the like represent the delivery of armageddon from a distance. They take off on the other side of the planet, or from some hidden sub somewhere, and blow the crap out of our happy beach side BBQs on this side. Splat, we're gone, and then in come the enemy soldiers to eat up what's left of the snags. The boots on the ground maxim gets another trot out.
But Smart Bullets will kill off the maxim in a nanosecond.
Our army is currently investing heavily in the design of autonomous driver-less military vehicles. An AI controlled jeep or somesuch with a menacing popgun mounted on the prow, fair enough, it means our military personnel can project force from a distance without having to duck flying bits of metal themselves. Not a bad plan.
But what about close-in defence? What about when the maxim supplied snag eating enemy are taking pot shots at us with their rifles and bullets? What do we do when things get a bit up close and personal?
Why, we use Smart Bullets of course. Swarms of the little buggers. Controlled by AI.
Have you ever noticed how missiles fired from military jets swerve and home-in on their designated targets, and chaff and desperate avoidance aside, usually get to splot the enemy jet. Well, why cannot that technology be miniaturised down, and for all we know it probably already has, and be applied to the humble old bullet?
Bullets at the moment get to be fired out of pistols and rifles and they generally follow a gravity dropping path from A to B over a fairly short distance in military terms, but further than a bayonet can reach of course. But once those bullets are fired they are on their own. Thine aim was true or not becomes the deciding factor, and the ducking ability of the snaggers comes in to play as well. Dumb bullets can't think, they just go where they are sent.
But imagine a little bullet that can think. Imagine a little bullet that can see. Imagine a little bullet that has a two stage propellant system on board, one to launch it out of a barrel, and then the secondary one to allow it to swerve. Of course you'd have to add miniaturised little vanes to the thing to allow it some cornering ability, and the AI on board would have to be robust enough to recognise that, yes, that is indeed a snagger, and not you or me, lurking behind the change shed at Bondi.
The Smart Bullet would search for the hidden snagger.
But if you can imagine all of that, then you could probably also imagine that the invention and utilisation of Smart Bullets might make the need for rifles, and the soldiers who bear them, just a tad obsolete.
The bullet is a drone in other words.
A fleet of large predator drones loaded with zillions of little Smart Bullet Drones could on the one hand waft happily and lazily over all of the important areas of Australia, Sunshine Coast where I live included, and could on the other hand also put the wind up any potential snagger who wants to come here and disrupt our BBQs. It would also enable us to save an awful amount of dosh by dumping the purchase of our obsolete french subs.
Ok, we are talking about the future. A not too far distant future. And I'm aware that the little theory I've suggested here has enough holes in it to drive an old Leopard Tank through. But, so what? Why not give the thought a run?
I can't help but feel that we are equipping our military with weapons systems that would be excellent at helping us to win the the last war that we were involved in, but that would be totally inadequate to meet our needs in a future war that we all hope that we can avoid.
The threat of the use of nuclear weaponry has not receded, it still sits there. However, we are now faced with the next generation of smart AI controlled autonomous weaponry that will seek us and our soldiers out in a remorseless and unethical manner (ethical war? surely a debate in itself). We are hardly prepared for such a prospect.
I'd prefer that no snaggers come here in a boots on the ground mop-up operation, I'd prefer that no snaggers of any nationality go anywhere in the world on a boots on the ground mop-up operation, I'd prefer that none of our soldiers get killed for any reason in any war, I'd prefer that war be consigned to the dustbin of history, I'd prefer that the maxim of boots on the ground be head-butted into irrelevance, but until all of that happens I'd prefer that we work out ways to defend ourselves.
Nanotechnology. AI. Drones. Smart Bullets.
Cheaper than wasting the lives of our Soldiers I'd have thought.

Or why don't we just have a good climate change? A little global warming? A little nature inspired wake the fck up. Smart bullets, dumb bullets, AI, any weaponry will be a mere fart in a hurricane.
Meanwhile, 500,000 plus concerned people march in Madrid demanding action now. As one person said, we march until the day comes we don't go home. I wonder how many more steps until the day comes when peaceful marches are not enough. When the degradation hits the tipping points. When there is no hope left.
Climate action now, thanks you keep fondling your smart bullets.

The middle part of what you said. Yep. Reckon most of us agree with that.

hi Tim, bullets and drones are slow compared to speed of light directed energy weapons (DEW). DEW are the future and some would say have been the present for the last 20 years already. There is some evidence DEW are being used against civilian populations already, check this video from Santa Rosa fires 2018, Google / YouTube keeps deleting the video but it keeps getting put up as mirror sites:
D.E.W. & Blue lasers from the sky; CA FIRE TEST Grounds 2030 -A21
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txe1iPREUHo
If this use of tech is true then Agenda 21 really is a crime in progress.
Hi Keith, if you are interested in weaponry or more likely how to avoid weaponry, you might be interested to know how 5G will be used against civilians (after a suitable grace period when all the infrastructure is rolled out).
This video by activist Sacha Stone includes interviews with microwave warfare experts:
!! 5G APOCALYPSE – THE EXTINCTION EVENT – !! (Film by Sacha Stone)
Sometimes I wonder why journalists aren't researching this matter properly, then I remember who is paying their salaries.

LONDON, Aug. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) market is expected to grow from $8.12 billion in 2016 to reach $41.97 billion by 2023 with a CAGR of 26.4%. Rising demand for non-lethal deterrents and growing demand for the use of naval weapons in naval forces across the world are some of the major factors favoring the market growth. On the other hand huge development costs, strict industry regulations and lack of testing facilities are restricting the market growth.

AI is a long way away from being bullet sized and having enough processing power in a bullet sized package to identify a friendly vs enemy combatant. Let alone be able to steer Itself as well. Despite what the media says AI is really very stupid at his point. As a computer scientist I often find it quite amusing how AI is portrayed by the media. Really, mostly at the moment it is great at pattern matching and not much else.
The real danger of any form of automated or semi automated future "robots" or "AI" is the agenda of the people behind them, inevitably it will end up being the richest 1% who have already proven many times throughout history that we can expect. In similar ways that chemical and biological weapons have been mostly banned by the civilised world future weapons will likely also be banned in some form or another until somebody breaks the rules and uses it to get an advantage.
And bullets to save lives? A bullets purpose is to kill no matter how clever it is.
Agree with Peking duck. We really are a critical point and soon it will just be a matter of not if we will destroy our own species but a matter of the method and of how quickly we do it. Perhaps, that is for the best, on some levels we are like a scurge on this planet, it would probably be better without humans.

Until drones vote and macho disappears there will always be boots.When god admits he has nothing to do with global warming the deniers will know that climate change is natural.
spot on the programmers under orders
I think of the independent tribunals all bullshit because the pollies tell you they are not making the decisions but the pricks have set the terms of reference
ps nobody who thinks wants a republic


So, you want to compare Trump and his followers to Hitler and the Nazis?
An encounter on the part of illegal aliens with ICE or the Border Patrol will usually result in that person being returned healthy and alive to their home country. Capture by the Nazi SS always resulted in the enslavement and usually the eventual death of those captured.

Recap / Seinfeld S 9 E 23 The Finale
Create New - Create New - Analysis Characters FanficRecs FanWorks Fridge Haiku Headscratchers ImageLinks Laconic PlayingWith Quotes ReferencedBy Synopsis Timeline WMG
Jerry and George have finally struck a deal with NBC to produce their pilot, Jerry, as a series and will be leaving New York City for California to begin work. Jerry is given use of NBC's private jet as a courtesy and he, George, Elaine, and Kramer decide to go to Paris for "one last hurrah". On the plane, George and Elaine argue over the quality of the plane and what Elaine considers an "effeminate" way in which George sits in the jet, while Kramer is still trying to get water out of his ears from a trip to the beach he made earlier in the day.
Kramer's desperation to get the water out of his ears causes him to jump up and down on the plane and, as a result, he stumbles and falls into the cockpit, which causes the pilots to lose control. While the plane is nosediving, the four prepare for death. George, momentarily feeling the need to confess, reveals he cheated in "The Contest," and Elaine begins to tell Jerry that she always loved him; but the plane steadies itself and they make a safe emergency landing in the small town of Latham, Massachusetts.
While waiting for the plane to be repaired, they witness an overweight man (John Pinette) getting carjacked at gunpoint. Instead of helping him, they crack jokes about his size while Kramer films it all on his camcorder, then proceed to walk away. The victim notices this and tells the reporting officer, who arrests them on a duty to rescue violation that requires bystanders to help out in such a situation. Because this is the first case implementing this law, the prosecutor wants to find out everything he can about Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer in order to win. Jerry and his friends don't have any choice but to call on Jackie Chiles to represent them for the upcoming trial.
The second part starts with people associated with the main characters packing for the trial. Jerry's parents, George's parents, Newman, Uncle Leo, J. Peterman, David Puddy, Mickey, Kenny Bania, Susan's parents, the rabbi from Elaine's building, the pool guy, George Steinbrenner and Keith Hernandez are among those shown. Chiles mounts the defense that the witnesses are only exaggerating to settle scores with the four and that the four did not want to get shot by the criminal, and that the carjacker is free to "laugh and lie".
A lengthy trial ensues, presided over by Judge Arthur Vandelay. George considers this to be a good sign, as Arthur Vandelay was one of the many fake names he used for himself and phony companies he claimed to have worked for. In addition to the officer who arrested them and the carjacking victim, many of the four's former acquaintances — including Marla Penny, the low-talker, Donald Sanger, Babu Bhatt, Yev Kassem (the Soup Nazi), George Steinbrenner and Dr. Wexler from "The Invitations" — are called as character witnesses against them. They tell alternate versions of what really happened, and many of their "Enemies" believe that. In addition, many others from New York have made the trip to watch the trial in the courtroom.
Despite the effort of George's mother to try to convince Judge Vandelay to reduce the punishment, the jury finds Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer guilty of doing nothing and they are each sentenced to one year in a state prison.
In the final scene before the credits, the four main characters sit in a jail cell. Kramer is finally able to get the water out of his ears after days of trying. Jerry begins a conversation about George's shirt buttons, using lines from the first episode. George then wonders if they have had that conversation before.
Elaine's minor storyline
Throughout the first half of the episode, Elaine tries to get hold of her friend Jill. First, she can't get any reception with her cell phone on the street. Then, Jerry interrupts her with news of the pilot pickup and Elaine hangs up on Jill to take the call. Jerry then scolds her for, first, trying to rush the call before they all leave for Paris and, next, for thinking about calling from the plane. Finally, Elaine decides that she's going to use her one phone call from prison to call Jill, saying that the prison call is the "king of calls".
In the final scene of the series, Jerry is wearing an orange jumpsuit, and performing a stand-up routine of prison-related jokes to an audience of fellow prisoners (including Kramer and George; Elaine is not seen as she is in a women's prison). No one is laughing, except for the studio audience and Kramer. As he is then yanked off the stage, he says to his audience, "Hey, you've been great. See you in the cafeteria."
The finale shows example of the following tropes:
Artistic License – Law: Oh so much. For starters, Good Samaritan laws do not work that way. They're to ensure someone who helps an obviously ill or injured person cannot be sued later for unintentional injury or death, as is the case in Massachusetts. Even the compulsory Good Samaritan laws (more properly known as Duty to rescue laws) only apply to people who are injured or ill, not being threatened by a mugger (the arresting officer actually states "within reason", stopping a mugging is hardly reasonable). (Note that in some places they may do so, but "within reason" would just be calling 911.) If anything, the Seinfeld cast should have been commended for getting pictorial evidence of the crime. Not to mention the punishment for violating a (compulsory) Good Samaritan law is a small fine ($100-$300) with no jail time, and, as already explained, stopping a mugging is not covered by any real Good Samaritan law. And, regardless of how the Good Samaritan law itself is written, bringing in dozens of "character witnesses" to recount every misdeed the defendants have ever committed to discredit them is incredibly illegal under U.S. law - character witnesses are only legal if the defence cites their client's character, which is clearly not the case. The writers probably knew this and simply exaggerated the idea and played it for laughs. And even then, the police officer that arrested them was on site the entire time, and did so by watching the entire robbery, doing absolutely nothing about it, then arrest four bystanders/witnesses to a violent crime with video evidence, for not doing his job, even with a completely fictional representation and gross exaggeration of actual laws. And on top of this, no effort is made to catch the mugger/car jacker.
Moreso, the majority of the things people testify about were either (a) Untrue, like Mr. Pitt claiming Elaine tried to kill him, (b) Genuine mistakes or misunderstandings on the gangs part with no deliberate malice on their part, or (c) Even if they were done deliberately, weren't illegal.
Bittersweet Ending: The four ends up in jail but at least they got just one-year sentence. So they probably won't stay in there for much long.
Book-Ends:
Jerry and George's last conversation before going to prison is about the placement of his shirt buttons, the same conversation they had at the very beginning of the pilot. The supposed implication being that they've finally run out of things to talk about and had to start over.
The final scene shows Kramer loudly laughing it up at Jerry's dying act, as he did in the season's first episode, "The Butter Shave".
Continuity Cavalcade: Every person the cast has wronged over the years comes back to give testimony against them... not that this is even legal in US law.
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: "YOU HAD TO HOP ON THE PLANE!"
For Want of a Nail: Had Kramer not gone to the beach and gotten water in his ears, the four of them would have made it to Paris and never ended up in prison.
One Phone Call: Discussed in the holding cell.
Slut-Shaming: A drugstore owner testifies about Elaine buying the store's entire supply of contraceptive sponges—"The kind for sex!"—causing the courtroom to gasp in shock and disgust. Aside from the grossly inappropriate intrusion into her personal life, the fact that Elaine was actually being responsible in preventing an unwanted pregnancy escapes their notice.
The entire gang technically gets this when Marla testifies about the events of "The Contest".
You Bastard!: The finale received a lot of criticism that it seemed like Larry David was lecturing the audience that they were wrong to be finding these people funny for nine years.

Norway Killer Anders Breivik Wrongly Labelled a "Christian Fundamentalist"
Country: International
Date of incident: July 29, 2011
Shortly after his ruthless murder of at least 76 innocent men, women, and children Anders Breivik has been called a "Christian fundamentalist," "Christian terrorist," and "Christian extremist." The media picked up the solitary, premature and unjust comment of a police officer right after the incident.
US TV host Bill Maher use the label in his HBO show "Real Time" after the attack: "That's what he was. He's a Christian terrorist. He wanted to start a Christian onslaught against the Muslims." He went on to say that religion itself was the problem and that Christianity "is perfectly capable of coming out of its dormant phase and once again becoming the violent blood-lusty religion it was under the crusades."
John Graz, Secretary General of the International Religious Liberty Association, says: "Such acts are utterly alien to Christian teachings and values. Violence carried out in the name of Christianity is an absolute distortion of a religion that finds its genesis in Jesus Christ, the 'Prince of Peace.' ... There's a risk that 'fundamentalism' will become blurred in people's minds with the idea of 'Conservative Christianity'—a confusion that could serve to widen the gulf of misunderstanding between different religious traditions."
Jordan Sekulow, a director with the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), pointed out that the Norwegian man only "claimed the 'Christian' mantle" as a cultural, social, and moral platform."
Craig Parshall, general counsel of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), disputed the "Christian fundamentalist" label for Breivik, by referring to the accused killer's 1,500-page "manifesto": there he referred to Jesus Christ 16 times in the manifesto but cited Thomas Jefferson a total of 18 times. Concluded Parshall, "Linking Breivik to anything Christian therefore makes as little sense as saying that the mass murderer was motivated by Jeffersonian democracy."
Terry Mattingly (GetReligion) is quoted in the Christian Post on July 29: "At this point, I think most journalists have reached the point that they know that Anders Behring Breivik (a) has self-identified as a 'Christian,' (b) yet he also made it clear that he is not a Christian believer, in terms of beliefs and practice and (c) that it is bizarre to call him a "fundamentalist," in any historic sense of the word."
Ed Stetzer, a US blogger says in the same article: "I think there are three reasons that many in the media were so quick to assume and report this unsubstantiated label:
1. Many in the media have deep suspicions about what they call "fundamentalism." They do not understand these strange people and are afraid of what they might do. If you are reading (my) blog, you are probably what the media would call a "fundamentalist."
2. Some desire to create a moral equivalence. There are Muslim fundamentalists and they are bad. There must be Christian fundamentalists who are equally bad.
3. Many believe that Christian fundamentalists are just a moment away from violence."

CRM is the abbreviated form of Customer Relation Management. This job discipline falls under IT (information technology). It is rather a newly introduced job category which has high promises. Steady growth rate of this job discipline allows one to be convinced of its tremendous future ahead.
Great professional prospects of CRM have been inspiring young students and career aspirants throughout the world to choose educational and professional routes that may help them take up it as their profession.
Until recently, it was a general perception that the career field of CRM is the privilege of the selected experts and experienced professionals only. But now, this career choice has become a domain of all kinds of professionals and career aspirants including freshers. Due to its phenomenal growth and highly rewarding career prospects, CRM education and career options have become hot preferences.
India is included among the leading global countries which are being benefited by the advent of Customer Relation Management (CRM) hugely. Industries and corporate sectors in the country are known to implement CRM in their operations at rapid pace. With the help of CRM, these organizations are able to set their targets and achieve their goals with maximum ease and comfort.
Companies and organizations in India have been using CRM for identifying, acquiring and retaining their customers, as well. Operational facilities achieved with the help of CRM have put the concerned companies on unprecedented success track. The scenario has compelled business organizations in India to absorb more and more professionals who have CRM skills.
Apart from these positions, business organizations in Gurgoan, Delhi, Noida, Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune and Hyderabad are also known to offer prospective job vacancies to job aspirants who have no previous job experience. Mostly, CRM jobs which are offered to freshers include posts such as Customer Relation Management Trainee and Customer Relation Management Executive.

Q: How do I remove the arrow for a particular group (row) in an ExpandableListView By default every group has a downward arrow that indicates to the user that the item can be expanded.  However, I have one group that has no children; thus, I would like the arrow to not show on this item.

A: According to the documentation:

public void setGroupIndicator (Drawable groupIndicator)
Sets the indicator to be drawn next to a group.
Parameters
groupIndicator The drawable to be used as an indicator. If the group is empty, the state state_empty will be set. If the group is expanded, the state state_expanded will be set.

So hypothetically, this should already do the right thing... But, if you are using your own custom ExpandableListAdapter, with TextViews for example, you can use the following code:
// in your main file where the List is defined:
mExpandableList.setGroupIndicator(null); // this will remove the indicator

Then in your custom adapter you could do the following:
@Override
public View getGroupView(int groupPosition, boolean isExpanded,
        View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

    View v;
    ...
    // code to retrieve convertView or inflate new one and assign to v
    ...

    TextView tv = ((TextView) v);
    int iconId;  // assume we have an icon we want to have on the left of each group
    int expandableGroupResId;

    if (getChildrenCount(groupPosition) > 0) {
        if (isExpanded) expandableGroupResId = R.drawable.expander_ic_maximized;
        else expandableGroupResId = R.drawable.expander_ic_minimized;
    }
    tv.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(iconId, 0, expandableGroupResId, 0);
}
