As the Iran war has shown, detecting and sweeping mines is one of the biggest challenges for the U.S. Navy. Meanwhile, the sea service also has to worry about detecting submarines operated by China, Russia and other nations. But rather than separate sonars and helicopters for spotting mines and subs, the Navy is exploring the convenience of having one sonar that allows a single helicopter to perform both missions. The service, therefore, is looking for a helicopter-borne dipping sonar capable of both anti-submarine warfare, or ASW, and airborne mine countermeasures, or AMCM. “The multi-mission capability of such a sonar transducer…

For years, Stephen A. Smith’s many football blunders have been easy enough to explain away.He’s not an NFL guy (remember when he said the three key players for a game were three guys who weren’t playing in the game?) He’s definitely not a college football guy (remember when he called Jalen Milroe Jalen “Milroy” multiple times and then read the wrong stat line after a College Football Playoff game?).ESPN forces him into those conversations because First Take has to talk football, and Smith knows that football is the most popular sport in the country and he needs to be seen…

Sitting at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office on Saturday, President Donald Trump described the quieter tolls of wars — one that follows veterans home and lingers long after the fighting ends. “Since 9/11, we’ve lost over 21 times more veteran lives to suicide than on the battlefield,” he said. “Today, we’re bringing them new hope.”Trump, in a declaration suffused with urgency, signed an executive order directing the Food and Drug Administration to accelerate the review of certain psychedelic therapies to treat mental illnesses. Specifically, the order commits at least $50 million in federal funds to boost research on…

This article was originally published by Hamoon Soleimani at The Mises Institute.  Autonomous AI agents are becoming active economic participants on both sides of market transactions. Enterprise platforms now embed what vendors call “touchless operations,” with agents executing procurement decisions without human review. Blockchain networks let AI agents hold wallets, settle payments, and rebalance portfolios autonomously. Microsoft Research has already documented two-sided “agentic markets” where both buyers and sellers are AI proxies. The standard commentary praises the speed and consistency of it all. That praise is correct, and it misses something catastrophic: when both parties to a transaction are algorithms optimizing against pre-specified utility functions, the…
