"Its primary role is to streamline what's known as a 'kill chain' – a military concept which identifies the sequence of an attack. That would include surveillance, gathering intelligence, selection and then ultimately striking a target.

AI could significantly reduce the time for each step, and the personell required to do it. For example #Maven (the #Anthropic and #Palantir system) claims that their technology allowed one unit of just 20 people to do the work of 2,000 staff. Speed is what's being sold here.

Most of these AI tools collate, analyse and synthesise data in what is known as 'Decisions support systems.' Theoretically, decisions support systems just make military reccomendations and require human oversight. However, that oversight may not be very effective.

People have an automation bias, which is a tendency for humans to favor suggestions made by automated systems like AI. So that oversight is really superficial in practice, especially in the military space where the automation bias is the worst. Human beings just become rubber stamps at that point."

I’ve started thinking about AI skills the same way I think about libraries: if they matter across projects, they should be packaged, versioned, and reused properly.

In this tutorial, I show how to package reusable Quarkus and IBM Bob skills with SkillsJars and Maven instead of copy-pasting https://SKILL.md files across repos.

Bushehr nuclear plant hit, couple hours ago.

t'd place the hit around 0900EST ish. Late afternoon/early eve Iranian local time.

They have hit AROUND the plant, before, but this was inside perimeter of the plant itself.

If they have that bullshit LLM maven palantir targeting, it's just a matter of time until they hit vessel building.

THAT will be a HUUUUUGE fucking mistake.

Released version 1.0.1 of my #Native #Image #Config transformer plugin for the #Maven #Shade plugin that also deals with types defined in reachability-metadata-schema-v1.2.0.json format:

https://codeberg.org/michael-simons/native-image-config-transformer

Useful if you need to shade some stuff in your projects that comes with #GraalVM config settings.

After 3 years of existence, we made a tough decision today, that we solemnly announce here: The Maveniverse team (after a heated debate), unanimously decided to rename the organization to Gradeliverse!

(and let me leak our super secret rebranding makeover)

Does publishing snapshots to Maven Central fail for anyone else, or is this just me?

Came up with this little “trick” to play around interactively with packages and APIs in jshell (Java's interactive shell) when developing a Maven-based project:

# Gather dependency classpath
mvn dependency:build-classpath -Dmdep.outputfile=deps.cp.txt

# run interactive shell
CLASSPATH=$(cat deps.cp.txt) jshell

Now classes can be imported inside the interactive shell from any libraries used in your project. So that you could experiment with things iteratively.

Maven ist eines der zentralen Werkzeuge im Java-Ökosystem. Wenn du damit wenig Erfahrung hast, wirkt es am Anfang oft sperrig und unnötig komplex. In der Praxis löst Maven jedoch sehr konkrete Probleme: wiederholbare Builds, saubere Abhängigkeiten und eine klare Projektstruktur. Sobald du das Gr
