Gunky's Adventures: In the Land of Must Believe by Jim Reuther Jimreutherakagunky.com Amazon.com A few days after the passing of his beloved wife, author Jim Reuther, better known as Gunky, discovered her extraordinary letter in a handwritten notebook titled, "How to Get Along Without Me." The notebook was a simple "How to Guide" for the tasks she had done faithfully for him until the end. But one request stood out; she challenged him to continue his writings. In Gunky's Adventures, Reuther features a collection of twenty-five tales, one for each letter of the alphabet, beginning with his late wife's note, "Afterlife Love Letter and Wish." Ranging from the humorous to tear-jerkers, to odd happenings and surprise endings, to musings on rock and roll, to stories about family, friends, foes, and fails, he reflects on an array of life experiences. His first poems ever written are included under the title of "Xtraordinaire (Silent Sentinels)." Narrating a life-hearted series of alphabetic escapades, Gunky's Adventures offers an anthology of poems and short stories reflecting on a life wonderfully lived.

Dave Del Col hosts Eric Kennedy from Big Blue Interactive for their annual pow wow show. They do a deep dive on positions of need, some of which aren't being discussed enough by main stream media. Ranging from roster strategy to position breakdowns, buckle up cause it's a gauntlet. 

This episode looks back at one of the central artistic positions in the group exhibition Forms of the Shadow. Minouk Lim's Currahee – Stand Alone, a floor-to-ceiling installation of painted military blankets, created a striking division of space and, in the context of the exhibition, could also be read in terms of the divided situation on the Korean peninsula, but also in the broader context of military conflicts, and as such this work is exemplary of current political crises and the latent danger of military escalation. More On the occasion of this group exhibition, a spontaneous series of conversations with the artists who attended the opening in Vienna has evolved into a podcast mini-series. This conversation took place on 19 September 2024. Forms of the Shadow Curated by Sunjung Kim 20.9. – 17.11.2024 The publication is available for free download here Exhibition talk with Sunjung Kim, Adrián Villar Rojas and Jane Jin Kaisen, moderated by Noit Banai With Nilbar Güreş; Ramin Haerizadeh, Rokni Haerizadeh and Hesam Rahmanian; Kyungah Ham; Young In Hong; ikkibawiKrrr; Jane Jin Kaisen; Joon Kim; Lee Bul; Lee Kit; Mikael Levin; Minouk Lim; Moon Kyungwon & Jeon Joonho; Adrián Villar Rojas; Ramiro Wong; Haegue Yang; Tomoko Yoneda; Jin-me Yoon; Min Yoon The work of Minouk Lim (b. 1968, Daejeon, KR) extends personal experiences into a broader social realm, combining the intense political context of historical discontinuity and trauma with challenging yet sensory poetic narratives. Ranging from sculptures in non-fixed, fragile forms using organic materials, to video and performance that reposition fact and fiction, to multifaceted installations incorporating drawings, paintings, text, and sound, the artist's work transcends the boundaries of genres and categories of media, reaching the point where each medium intersects and translates one another. Lim's works engage in a “reconfiguration of the sensible” that seeks to uncover history's hidden voices and forms. Her media is based on questions about modernity, issues of community and memory, and reflections on places concealed by time and space. Lim's work is considered a “mediumistic media” that explores forms that revitalize endangered relationships in unfinished structures. Since 2008, Bettina Spörr is a curator at the Secession, where she engages in close collaboration with artists to conceptualise and realise exhibitions that explore the profound impact of contemporary art on society. Throughout her career, she has worked with numerous artists on solo exhibitions and, in 2010, curated the group show where do we go from here? at the Secession. The Dorotheum is the exclusive sponsor of the Secession Podcast.

LET'S GO! Happy second birthday to ThursdAI, your favorite weekly AI news show! Can you believe it's been two whole years since we jumped into that random Twitter Space to rant about GPT-4? From humble beginnings as a late-night Twitter chat to a full-blown podcast, Newsletter and YouTube show with hundreds of thousands of downloads, it's been an absolutely wild ride! That's right, two whole years of me, Alex Volkov, your friendly AI Evangelist, along with my amazing co-hosts, trying to keep you up-to-date on the breakneck speed of the AI worldAnd what better way to celebrate than with a week PACKED with insane AI news? Buckle up, folks, because this week Google went OPEN SOURCE crazy, Gemini got even cooler, OpenAI created a whole new Agents SDK and the open-source community continues to blow our minds. We've got it all - from game-changing model releases to mind-bending demos.This week I'm also on the Weights & Biases company retreat, so TL;DR first and then the newsletter, but honestly, I'll start embedding the live show here in the substack from now on, because we're getting so good at it, I barely have to edit lately and there's a LOT to show you guys!

Google dropped a BOMBSHELL with Gemma 3! As Wolfram pointed out, this is a "very technical achievement," and it's not just one model, but a whole family ranging from 1 billion to 27 billion parameters. And get this – the 27B model can run on a SINGLE GPU! Sundar Pichai himself claimed you'd need "at least 10X compute to get similar performance from other models." Insane!Gemma 3 isn't just about size; it's packed with features. We're talking multimodal capabilities (text, images, and video!), support for over 140 languages, and a massive 128k context window. As Nisten pointed out, "it might actually end up being the best at multimodal in that regard" for local models. Plus, it's fine-tuned for safety and comes with ShieldGemma 2 for content moderation. You can grab Gemma 3 on Google AI Studio, Hugging Face, Ollama, Kaggle – everywhere! Huge shoutout to Omar Sanseviero and the Google team for this incredible release and for supporting the open-source community from day one! Colin aka Bartowski, was right, "The best thing about Gemma is the fact that Google specifically helped the open source communities to get day one support." This is how you do open source right!Next up, we have EuroBERT, a new family of multilingual encoder models. Wolfram, our European representative, was particularly excited about this one: "In European languages, you have different characters than in other languages. And, um, yeah, encoding everything properly is, uh, difficult." Ranging from 210 million to 2.1 billion parameters, EuroBERT is designed to push the boundaries of NLP in European and global languages. With training on a massive 5 trillion-token dataset across 15 languages and support for 8K context tokens, EuroBERT is a workhorse for RAG and other NLP tasks. Plus, how cool is their mascot?Reka Flash 3 - a 21B reasoner with apache 2 trained with RLOOAnd the open source train keeps rolling! Reka AI dropped Reka Flash 3, a 21 billion parameter reasoning model with an Apache 2.0 license! Nisten was blown away by the benchmarks: "This might be one of the best like 20B size models that there is right now. And it's Apache 2.0. Uh, I, I think this is a much bigger deal than most people realize." Reka Flash 3 is compact, efficient, and excels at chat, coding, instruction following, and function calling. They even used a new reinforcement learning technique called REINFORCE Leave One-Out (RLOO). Go give it a whirl on Hugging Face or their chat interface – chat.reka.ai!Last but definitely not least in the open-source realm, we had a special guest, Sandra (@itsSandraKublik) from Cohere, join us to announce Command-A! This beast of a model clocks in at 111 BILLION parameters with a massive 256K context window. Sandra emphasized its efficiency, "It requires only two GPUs. Typically the models of this size require 32 GPUs. So it's a huge, huge difference." Command-A is designed for enterprises, focusing on agentic tasks, tool use, and multilingual performance. It's optimized for private deployments and boasts enterprise-grade security. Congrats to Sandra and the Cohere team on this massive release!Big CO LLMs + APIs: Gemini Flash Gets Visual, Deep Research Goes Free, and OpenAI Builds for AgentsThe big companies weren't sleeping either! Google continued their awesome week by unleashing native image generation in Gemini Flash Experimental! This is seriously f*****g cool, folks! Sorry for my French, but it's true. You can now directly interact with images, tell Gemini what to do, and it just does it. We even showed it live on the stream, turning ourselves into cat-confetti-birthday-hat-wearing masterpieces! Wolfram was right, "It's also a sign what we will see in, like, Photoshop, for example. Where you, you expect to just talk to it and have it do everything that a graphic designer would be doing." The future of creative tools is HERE.And guess what else Google did? They made Deep Research FREE in the Gemini app and powered by Gemini Thinking! Nisten jumped in to test it live, and we were all impressed. "This is the nicest interface so far that I've seen," he said. Deep Research now digs through HUNDREDS of websites (Nisten's test hit 156!) to give you comprehensive answers, and the interface is slick and user-friendly. Plus, you can export to Google Docs! Intelligence too cheap to meter? Google is definitely pushing that boundary.Last second additions - Allen Institute for AI released OLMo 2 32B - their biggest open model yetJust as I'm writing this, friend of the pod, Nathan from Allen Institute for AI announced the release of a FULLY OPEN OLMo 2, which includes weights, code, dataset, everything and apparently it beats the latest GPT 3.5, GPT 4o mini, and leading open weight models like Qwen and Mistral. Evals look legit, but nore than that, this is an Apache 2 model with everything in place to advance open AI and open science! Check out Nathans tweet for more info, and congrats to Allen team for this awesome release! OpenAI new responses API and Agent ASK with Web, File and CUA toolsOf course, OpenAI wasn't going to let Google have all the fun. They dropped a new SDK for agents called the Responses API. This is a whole new way to build with OpenAI, designed specifically for the agentic era we're entering. They also released three new tools: Web Search, Computer Use Tool, and File Search Tool. The Web Search tool is self-explanatory – finally, built-in web search from OpenAI!The Computer Use Tool, while currently limited in availability, opens up exciting possibilities for agent automation, letting agents interact with computer interfaces. And the File Search Tool gives you a built-in RAG system, simplifying knowledge retrieval from your own files. As always, OpenAI is adapting to the agentic world and giving developers more power.Finally in the big company space, Nous Research released PORTAL, their new Inference API service. Now you can access their awesome models, like Hermes 3 Llama 70B and DeepHermes 3 8B, directly via API. It's great to see more open-source labs offering API access, making these powerful models even more accessible.This Week's Buzz at Weights & Biases: Offsite Hackathon and MCP Mania!This week's "This Week's Buzz" segment comes to you live from Oceanside, California! The whole Weights & Biases team is here for our company offsite. Despite the not-so-sunny California weather (thanks, storm!), it's been an incredible week of meeting colleagues, strategizing, and HACKING!And speaking of hacking, we had an MCP hackathon! After last week's MCP-pilling episode, we were all hyped about Model Context Protocol, and the team didn't disappoint. In just three hours, the innovation was flowing! We saw agents built for WordPress, MCP support integrated into Weave playground, and even MCP servers for Weights & Biases itself! Get ready, folks, because an MCP server for Weights & Biases is COMING SOON! You'll be able to talk to your W&B data like never before. Huge shoutout to the W&B team for their incredible talent and for embracing the agentic future! And in case you missed it, Weights & Biases is now part of the CoreWeave family! Exciting times ahead!Vision & Video: LoRA Video Effects and OpenSora 2.0Moving into vision and video, Remade AI released 8 LoRA video effects for 1X! Remember 1X from Alibaba? Now you can add crazy effects like "squish," "inflate," "deflate," and even "cakeify" to your videos using LoRAs. It's open source and super cool to see video effects becoming trainable and customizable.And in the realm of open-source video generation, OpenSora 2.0 dropped! This 11 billion parameter model claims state-of-the-art video generation trained for just $200,000! They're even claiming performance close to Sora itself on some benchmarks. Nisten checked out the demos, and while we're all a bit jaded now with the rapid pace of video AI, it's still mind-blowing how far we've come. Open source video is getting seriously impressive, seriously fast.AI Art & Diffusion & 3D: ByteDance's Bilingual Seedream 2.0ByteDance, the folks behind TikTok, released Seedream 2.0, a native Chinese-English bilingual image generation foundation model. This model, from ByteDream, excels at text rendering, cultural nuance, and human preference alignment. Seedream 2.0 boasts "powerful general capability," "native bilingual comprehension ability," and "excellent text rendering." It's designed to understand both Chinese and English prompts natively, generating high-quality, culturally relevant images. The examples look stunning, especially its ability to render Chinese text beautifully.Tools: Manus AI Agent, Google AI Studio YouTube Links, and Cursor EmbeddingsFinally, in the tools section, everyone's buzzing about Manus, a new AI research agent. We gave it a try live on the show, asking it to do some research. The UI is slick, and it seems to be using Claude 3.7 behind the scenes. Manus creates a to-do list, browses the web in a real Chrome browser, and even generates files. It's like Operator on steroids. We'll be keeping an eye on Manus and will report back on its performance in future episodes.And Google AI Studio keeps getting better! Now you can drop YouTube links into Google AI Studio, and it will natively understand the video! This is HUGE for video analysis and content understanding. Imagine using this for support, content summarization, and so much more.PHEW! What a week to celebrate two years of ThursdAI! From open source explosions to Gemini's visual prowess and OpenAI's agentic advancements, the AI world is moving faster than ever. As Wolfram aptly put it, "The acceleration, you can feel it." And Nisten reminded us of the incredible journey, "I remember I had early access to GPT-4 32K, and, uh, then... the person for the contract that had given me access, they cut it off because on the one weekend, I didn't realize how expensive it was. So I had to use $180 worth of tokens just trying it out." Now, we have models that are more powerful and more accessible than ever before. Thank you to Wolfram, Nisten, and LDJ for co-hosting and bringing their insights every week. And most importantly, THANK YOU to our amazing community for tuning in, listening, and supporting ThursdAI for two incredible years! We couldn't do it without you.

In an era where convenience and efficiency are paramount in household management, the emergence of advanced robotic cleaning technology has transformed the way we approach cleaning tasks. The Eureka J15 Pro Max Ultra stands at the forefront of this innovation, showcasing a blend of sophisticated features that enhance its functionality and user experience. With its integration of LiDAR mapping technology, dual-camera system, powerful suction capabilities, and versatile mopping functions, the J15 Pro Max Ultra represents a significant leap forward in robotic floor cleaning.LiDAR Mapping TechnologyAt the heart of the Eureka J15 Pro Max Ultra's advanced cleaning capabilities is its LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology. This cutting-edge feature allows the robot to create a precise map of its environment, enabling it to navigate efficiently throughout the home. Unlike traditional robotic vacuums that may rely solely on random navigation, the J15 Pro Max Ultra utilizes LiDAR to systematically scan and understand the layout of a room. This mapping capability not only enhances the robot's efficiency but also ensures that it can clean every corner of a space without missing spots.The LiDAR system operates by emitting laser pulses and measuring the time it takes for them to bounce back, allowing the robot to detect obstacles and create a three-dimensional representation of its surroundings. This is particularly beneficial for users who may want to run the vacuum at night, as the LiDAR continues to function effectively in low-light conditions. This addresses a common issue with traditional vacuums that may bump into objects in the dark due to limited visibility.Dual-Camera SystemAnother standout feature of the Eureka J15 Pro Max Ultra is its dual-camera system, which includes both an RGB camera and an infrared camera. The RGB camera provides high-definition visual recognition, similar to that of a smartphone, allowing the robot to identify and interact with pets and other objects in its path. However, the true innovation lies in the infrared camera, which excels in low-light environments. This camera can detect objects and even transparent liquids that might otherwise go unnoticed by the human eye or traditional RGB cameras.The inclusion of this dual-camera system significantly enhances the J15 Pro Max Ultra's object detection capabilities. It minimizes the likelihood of collisions and ensures that the robot can effectively navigate around furniture and other obstacles. Additionally, the infrared camera's ability to detect transparent liquids adds an extra layer of safety, preventing potential hazards in the home.Powerful Suction CapabilitiesIn terms of performance, the Eureka J15 Pro Max Ultra boasts an impressive suction power of 22,000 Pascal. This level of suction is comparable to some traditional canister vacuums, making the J15 Pro Max Ultra a formidable competitor in the cleaning appliance market.

In an era where convenience and efficiency are paramount in household management, the emergence of advanced robotic cleaning technology has transformed the way we approach cleaning tasks. The Eureka J15 Pro Max Ultra stands at the forefront of this innovation, showcasing a blend of sophisticated features that enhance its functionality and user experience. With its integration of LiDAR mapping technology, dual-camera system, powerful suction capabilities, and versatile mopping functions, the J15 Pro Max Ultra represents a significant leap forward in robotic floor cleaning.LiDAR Mapping TechnologyAt the heart of the Eureka J15 Pro Max Ultra's advanced cleaning capabilities is its LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology. This cutting-edge feature allows the robot to create a precise map of its environment, enabling it to navigate efficiently throughout the home. Unlike traditional robotic vacuums that may rely solely on random navigation, the J15 Pro Max Ultra utilizes LiDAR to systematically scan and understand the layout of a room. This mapping capability not only enhances the robot's efficiency but also ensures that it can clean every corner of a space without missing spots.The LiDAR system operates by emitting laser pulses and measuring the time it takes for them to bounce back, allowing the robot to detect obstacles and create a three-dimensional representation of its surroundings. This is particularly beneficial for users who may want to run the vacuum at night, as the LiDAR continues to function effectively in low-light conditions. This addresses a common issue with traditional vacuums that may bump into objects in the dark due to limited visibility.Dual-Camera SystemAnother standout feature of the Eureka J15 Pro Max Ultra is its dual-camera system, which includes both an RGB camera and an infrared camera. The RGB camera provides high-definition visual recognition, similar to that of a smartphone, allowing the robot to identify and interact with pets and other objects in its path. However, the true innovation lies in the infrared camera, which excels in low-light environments. This camera can detect objects and even transparent liquids that might otherwise go unnoticed by the human eye or traditional RGB cameras.The inclusion of this dual-camera system significantly enhances the J15 Pro Max Ultra's object detection capabilities. It minimizes the likelihood of collisions and ensures that the robot can effectively navigate around furniture and other obstacles. Additionally, the infrared camera's ability to detect transparent liquids adds an extra layer of safety, preventing potential hazards in the home.Powerful Suction CapabilitiesIn terms of performance, the Eureka J15 Pro Max Ultra boasts an impressive suction power of 22,000 Pascal. This level of suction is comparable to some traditional canister vacuums, making the J15 Pro Max Ultra a formidable competitor in the cleaning appliance market. The powerful suction ensures that a wide range of debris, from dust and pet hair to larger particles, is effectively captured during cleaning sessions. This capability is particularly advantageous for households with pets or children, where messes can accumulate quickly.Versatile Mopping FunctionsThe J15 Pro Max Ultra goes beyond vacuuming, offering a dual-functionality that includes mopping capabilities. As modern cleaning demands evolve, many robotic vacuums have begun to incorporate mopping features, and the J15 Pro Max Ultra is no exception. It is equipped with an extendable mop that raises automatically when the robot detects carpeted areas, ensuring that it can effectively clean hardwood floors without leaving behind moisture.This innovative design not only enhances cleaning efficiency but also provides a comprehensive cleaning experience. The side brush, which is also extendable, allows the robot to reach corners and edges that are often neglected by traditional cleaning methods. This attention to detail ensures a thorough clean, leaving no spot overlooked.ConclusionThe Eureka J15 Pro Max Ultra represents a significant advancement in robotic cleaning technology, combining sophisticated features that enhance its functionality and user experience.

After surveying all of the available new Christmas and holiday themed music that I could find, I came up with a tidy playlist of nine noteworthy songs to share here in an episode that departs from our usual artist interview format. Here, we play full songs in several sets, with some back stories on each artist and song. Ranging from the elegant, folky take on “Coventry Carol” by The Milk Carton Kids to country leaning Americana in “Layaway Momma” from Adam Chaffins, to previous Southern Songs and Stories guest The Get Right Band and other fellow western NC artists, this episode celebrates an array of styles and perspectives on the season. With list in hand, little Joey Kendrick sits happily on Santa's lap across from sister Leigh, who ponders the validity of the this oddly formal and forced tradition. Circa 1976. Included here is a special from Christmas past, from my days producing the radio show What It Is on public radio WNCW, with founding panelists Jeff Eason and Fred Mills. We celebrated Jeff's life and many contributions to music and journalism after his passing in 2018 on this podcast, in the episode “Remembering Jeff Eason”. Following the music portion of this episode, we take you back fifteen years, to a time when What It Is was just two years old. You will hear a younger version of me (with a cold) talking by phone with Jeff and Fred in two short episodes, detailing some of our favorite holiday music as well as the Christmas and holiday music we would love to do without. Songs heard in this episode: Dulci Ellenberger “Colorful Christmas”Ana Egge “Silver Bells Ring” John Doyle and Mick McAuley “Gleann na-Ean”The Get Right Band “Christmas As A Kid”The Pinkerton Raid, “Happy XMas (War Is Over)”, from Winter Songs By Other PeopleAdam Chaffins “Layaway Momma” JD Clayton “Your Favorite Christmas Song” The Milk Carton Kids “Coventry Carol”, from Christmas In A Minor KeyJenn Grant “Bells Are Ringing”Thanks for listening! We hope you can help spread awareness of what we are doing. It is as easy as telling a friend and following this podcast on your platform of choice, so easy! You can find us on Apple here, and Spotify here — hundreds more episodes and many hundreds more artists await you. From there it takes just a moment to give us a top rating, and where it is an option, a review! It makes a great difference because the more top reviews and ratings we get, the more visible we become to everyone on those platforms, which means that more people just like you connect with artists like The Get Right Band, Dulci Ellenberger, John Doyle, and literally hundreds more we have profiled that are at your fingertips. Speaking of Silas Durocher and The Get Right Band, their episode from 2023 stands the test of time, and you can find that by looking up “Psychedelia in the Carolinas Then and Now With The Get Right Band and Ken Friedman” on southernsongsandstories.com, as well as the search feature on your podcast platform of choice. This series is a part of the lineup of both public radio WNCW and Osiris Media, with all of the Osiris shows available here. You can also hear new episodes on Bluegrass Planet Radio here.

If you're feeling the Christmas frazzle or worried about what's coming from your kids this month, you're in the right place. Tina and I have some great questions and a little bit of a look back at our own childhoods in this one.Question 1- The expectation that our children need to be best friends is sometimes too much a burden of responsibility for them to bare. Most siblings argue from time to time. Most siblings long for time to themselves and fairness within the home. What do you do if one sibling has contempt for the other. If it has gotten out of hand and all you can see is now full-on sibling bullying. Is there any way back? Question 2- Moving country is such a huge task. Moving your family is even bigger. How do you ensure a smooth transition. It won't be plain sailing but there are definitely techniques that will help it be less heartbreaking for the little ones you are having to uproot and resow. Question 3- Skid marks are always a sign of something else. Ranging from lazy wiping to chronic constipation. How do you puzzle out what is causing the soiling if your little one seems unaware as to why it's happening? We would love to wish you all a very merry Christmas. Thank you for supporting our podcast. Emails will remain open over the Christmas holidays. If you need help, Tina be here. honeyyouareruiningourkid@gmail.com Episode 8 will drop in January.

A contrails study by GE Aviation and NASA, an F-15E Strike Eagle downs drones, Iberia's new A321XLR in service, the Phillippine Mars moves to its final destination, an airliner and a UAP come close together, Spirit Airlines files for bankruptcy, and the environmental impact of private jets. Also, AvGeeks flock to Bluesky, a STEM author at the NASM, and F-35B trials on a Japanese flattop. The contrails of an Airbus A340 jet, over London, England. Photographed by Adrian Pingstone in March 2007. Aviation News GE and NASA to accelerate understanding of contrails The "Contrail Optical Depth Experiment" (CODEX) is a research project conducted through a NASA and GE Aerospace partnership to study the formation and behavior of contrails. Contrails are clouds of ice particles that airplanes can create when they fly through cold and humid air. Persistent contrails are thought to contribute to climate warming. The primary goal of CODEX is to accurately measure the optical depth of contrails, which indicates how much light is blocked by the contrail. In the project, a GE Boeing 747-400 creates the contrails and NASA's G-III research aircraft (a modified Gulfstream III business jet) follows and scans the 747's wake with Advanced LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to analyze the contrails produced by different engine configurations. This will hopefully lead to the development of engine technologies that reduce contrail formation. NASA Gulfstream G-III NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, operates the Gulfstream G-III aircraft, NASA tail number 804, as an aerodynamics research test bed. Work with the aircraft is funded through NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) as part of the Environmentally Responsible Aviation (ERA) project under the agency's Integrated Systems Research Program. GE 747-400 Flying Test Bed Since 2010, this former Japan Airlines plane has been used by GE to test new jet engines, such as the GE90, GEnx, LEAP, and the GE9X. The plane is based at Flight Test Operations (FTO) in Victorville. F-15E Pilot Recounts Having To Switch To Guns After Missiles Ran Dry During Iranian Drone Barrage An F-15E Strike Eagle shot down so many Iranian drones aimed at Israel that they ran out of air-to-air missiles. The crew was ordered to continue and use any weapon available, which left the Strike Eagle's 20mm Gatling Gun, capable of firing around 6,000 rounds per minute. Operating this gun is said to be risky with small, low, slow-moving targets. In this instance, the F-15 did not stop the drone.
