Can Military Robots Navigate Rough Terrain? The Army Thinks They Should
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *U.S. Military, * Given the importance of robotics when it comes to uneven terrain and supply delivery in austere combat environments, Army scientists and researchers are developing a tech to provide an “entire sensor suite of data for off-road navigation.” Autonomous robots actually have an easier time navigating uncertain terrain in urban areas, in part due to the many markers, structures, and roadway signs which AI-enabled computers can compile, analyze, and help the unmanned systems respond to. While there is always more work to be done, much of this progress h...
Competitive Virtues and Cooperative Virtues
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 17 hours ago
The Ancient Greeks recognized two types of virtues: competitive virtues and cooperative virtues. In the Homeric texts, we discover warriors like Hector, Achilles, and Odysseus who possess the virtue of being competitive and go on to become the top warriors of their time; female characters like Helen and Penelope compete for beauty and fidelity. Even the Homeric gods are competitive—Zeus is the top god because he is more powerful than other gods. These characters possess the cooperative virtues as well—they understand their place in the world and strive to fulfill their duties and ob...

Sunday morning music
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 19 hours ago
A couple of months ago we met (among others) Rolf Lislevand and his Kapsberger Ensemble in an examination of baroque and classical guitar works. They've recorded a great deal of music in those genres, including other stringed instruments that we don't often hear on the concert circuit. This morning I'd like to introduce you to Vivaldi's baroque Concerto for mandolin, strings and basso continuo in C major, RV425. Rolf Lislevand is the soloist with the Kapsberger Ensemble. There's an entire YouTube channel devoted to Rolf Lislevand. It's worth a visit. Peter

Not Recommending AstraZeneca Vaccine for Elderly Risks Vulerable Lives
Jonathan Pugh, Julian Savulescu, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Jonathan Pugh, Julian Savulescu* *Coronavirus, Europe* It is only ethical to approve a vaccine if it is safe and effective. Crucially, the reluctance to approve the AstraZeneca vaccine in the elderly is grounded only in concerns about its efficacy. Regulators in Europe are at odds over whether the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine should be given to the elderly. In the UK, the vaccine has been approved for use in adults aged 18 and up, but France, Germany, Sweden and Austria say the vaccine should be prioritised for those under the age of 65. Poland only recommends it for those younger...
