On my way to @voxxedzurich to speak with @aalmiray about Getting more out of #Maven - There will be #IntelliJIDEA tricks too ;)

"... the question almost nobody was asking, is not about Claude or any language model. It is a bureaucratic question about what happened to the kill chain, and the answer is Palantir. ...

"The target package for the Shajareh Tayyebeh school presented a military facility. ... This package looked like every other package in the queue. But outside the package, the school appeared in Iranian business listings. It was visible on Google Maps. A search engine could have found it. Nobody searched. At a thousand decisions an hour, nobody was going to. ...

"Someone decided to build a system that produces a thousand targeting decisions per hour and call them high-quality. Someone decided to start this war. Several hundred people are sitting on Capitol Hill, refusing to stop it. Calling it an “AI problem” gives those decisions, and those people, a place to hide."

Kill Chain

On the automated bureaucratic machinery that killed 175 children

Artificial Bureaucracy
The #Pentagon will adopt #Palantir’s #MavenAI system as a core military programme, streamlining its use across all branches and providing long-term funding. #Maven, already used for targeted strikes, analyses battlefield data to identify targets and will be overseen by the Pentagon’s Chief Digital Artificial Intelligence Office. https://www.reuters.com/technology/pentagon-adopt-palantir-ai-as-core-us-military-system-memo-says-2026-03-20/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Almost 2 weeks ago @aalmiray and I spoke at @JavaLandConf about getting more out of #Maven and #IntelliJIDEA together.

It was fun doing this talk; can't wait to do it again at @voxxedzurich next week!

Thanks to Dimitris Doutsiopoulos for the amazing pictures!

#BBCNews hat in seinem security brief die AIFunktion von #palantir mit dem Namen #Maven als #Zielerfassung SteuerungsInstrument in der #killingchain bei den US-Streitkräften in Anwenungs Stellung gebracht s.a. auf u-todub
#Iran hat entgegen allen Behauptungen des Welt Emperors aus dem Oval Office zwei ballistische Raketen in Richtung 4000km entfernten Militärstützpunkt Diego Garcia abgeschossen. Zugleich Bestätigung das es RegimeLüge war von der Reichweitenbeschränkung des ballistischen Rakletenprogramms des IRGC-Militärregime! Habe nicht getroffen.
Weder Waffenfähiges Uran noch Ballistisches Raketenprogramm - zwei Ziele - die #P47 als Ziele des Angriffskrieges nannte, sind also nicht erfüllt. Von Hilfe für die iranische BevölkerungsMehrheit ganz zu schweigen

I very much enjoy the work on TestLens with @britter and @marcphilipp. So many ideas to tackle the pain many developers in our space feel every day. The next features are already in the making. And we get a bunch of very good feedback from our early beta users. Let me know, if you want to join in!

I swear there was a discussion page somewhere about supporting a new flavor of Bill of Materials specifically for #Maven plugins. #lazyweb
