Needed a tool drawer thingy but nothing I saw online was the right size. Ended up buying some serving trays from IKEA and printing this rack for them. Ended up going with PLA, seems strong enough. 4 perimeters with a 0.6mm nozzle.

NEW YORK, March 20 (Reuters) - Palantir’s (PLTR.O), opens new tab Maven artificial intelligence system will become an official program of record, Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve ​Feinberg said in a letter to Pentagon leaders, a move that locks in long-term use of Palantir’s weapons-targeting technology across ‌the U.S. military.

In the March 9 letter to senior Pentagon leaders and U.S. military commanders, Feinberg said embedding Palantir’s Maven Smart System would provide warfighters “with the latest tools necessary to detect, deter, and dominate our adversaries in all domains”.

The decision is expected to go into effect by the close of the current fiscal year, which ends in September, ​according to the letter, which was reviewed by Reuters and has not been previously reported.

Maven is a command-and-control software platform that analyzes battlefield ​data and identifies targets. It is already the primary AI operating system for the U.S. military, which has carried ⁠out thousands of targeted strikes against Iran over the last three weeks.

Designating Maven as a program of record will streamline its adoption across all arms ​of the military and provide stable, long-term funding, Feinberg said.

The memo ordered oversight of Maven be moved from the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency to the ​Pentagon’s Chief Digital Artificial Intelligence Office within 30 days. Future contracting with Palantir will be handled by the Army, the letter said.

“It is imperative that we invest now and with focus to deepen the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) across the Joint Force and establish AI-enabled decision-making as the cornerstone of our strategy,” Feinberg wrote.

Palantir and the Pentagon did not ​immediately respond to a request for comment.

PALANTIR RISES FURTHER AT THE PENTAGON

Feinberg’s order is a significant win for Palantir, which has landed a growing ​stream of contracts with the U.S. government, including a deal announced last summer with the U.S. Army worth up to $10 billion. Those awards have helped double the company’s stock ‌price in ⁠the past year, lifting its market value to nearly $360 billion.

Maven can rapidly analyze huge amounts of data from satellites, drones, radars, sensors and intelligence reports, and use AI to automatically identify potential threats or targets, like enemy military vehicles, buildings and weapons stockpiles.

During a presentation at a Palantir event earlier this month, Pentagon official Cameron Stanley, who leads its AI office, demonstrated how the company’s Maven platform could be used for weapons targeting in the Middle East, ​and he showed heat map screenshots ​from the Maven platform.

“When we started ⁠this, it literally took hours to do what you just saw," he said, according to a YouTube video uploaded, opens new tab by the company last week.

United Nations expert panels have warned AI weapons targeting without human intervention raises ethical, legal and ​security risks since AI picks up inadvertent biases from the data sets used to train it.

Palantir says its ​software does not make ⁠lethal decisions and humans remain responsible for selecting and approving targets.

Palantir developed its AI system to serve the Pentagon’s Project Maven, which began as a drone-imagery labeling program in 2017. In 2024, the Pentagon awarded Palantir a contract worth up to $480 million. That year, Palantir’s Chief Technology Officer Shyam Sankar told the House Armed ⁠Services Committee, opens new tab that ​Maven had “tens of thousands” of users and urged Congress to provide more funding. In May ​2025, the Pentagon increased the contract ceiling to $1.3 billion.

One potential complication in deeper Maven adoption is the software’s use of the Anthropic-made Claude AI tool, Reuters previously reported. Anthropic was recently deemed a ​supply chain risk by the Pentagon, amid a months-long spat over safety guardrails surrounding the AI.

Someone told me about an app called Mobile Justice, but it was discontinued last year and I'm not seeing it on the google play store (I'm on GrapheneOS). I did some searching and read about ACLU Blue, which also doesn't seem to be available. Any suggestions? Is it possible Google/Apple is taking these apps down?

Side note, I recently had a meeting with some neighbors who all share many of the same concerns and would all be interested in an app like this. Some of them are tech-savvy, most are not. I think they're mostly iphone users. We're looking for something that will live-stream and save in the cloud even if our phone is taken mid-recording.

Edited to attempt to comply with rule 6.

Probably going to dry the filament and reprint it but overall it turned out pretty good. Printed on a Bambu A-1 mini

This was the closest I've ever been to hummingbirds and the most I've ever seen in one place. I spent 5-10 minutes holding still, trying to get one to land on my finger but no luck. I could see their little tongues and had no idea how frequently they poop. Their poops are these tiny quick little squirts.

Edit: started a free trial of Qobuz, it might be the winner for me.

I've been meaning to distance myself from Spotify for a while now but I've got a lot on my plate and their service has been very convenient. I've been paying for no ads since 2014 so I haven't heard the ads personally but have seen multiple sources online describe them and confirm they they haven't stopped as of today. I cancelled immediately. Not sure how many Spotify users there are on Lemmy but I just thought y'all ought to know what they're up to. Spotify let's you write a message saying why you're cancelling and I was very descriptive. Hopefully they'll back down just like Disney with Jimmy Kimmel.
