Rocket missing a military target sometimes means a rocket incidentally hitting a civilian object, so not good. All kinds of rockets and drones are used to hit targets in all major cities. They’re not only used for some standalone objects in the middle of nowhere.

I enjoyed asimov.fandom.com/wiki/Cal as a kid (beware of summary here covering the whole story to the end)
AsimovCalCal is a science-fiction short story by Isaac Asimov. It was first published as a gift exclusively for members of the Isaac Asimov Collection in 1990. It was later collected in 1995's Gold. A robot named Cal is a good companion to a well-known and a wealthy writer, Mr. Northrop. Cal had been an assistant to Mr. Northrop in his chores since the day he bought it. He even was involved in setting up the design for Cal. Cal's intelligence was still primitive and unable to comprehend pretty simple...Replying to @artifex@piefed.social

I wonder if there’s anything positive to be said about ISBNDB. On one hand, they’re supplying AI companies, yes, on the other hand, they seem to be digitalizing previously unavailable paper books, which is kinda useful for preservation? Except, I’m not entirely sure it’s possible to properly get this data out of them on consumer scale: they seem to sell API access, but it’s a big question of how usable and affordable it would be to retrieve a digital version of some rare ancient book that could just disappear into oblivion otherwise. Their cheapest subscription is 15$/month, but I have little idea of how what’s listed there translates into volumes of books you can retrieve during this month.

That’s why I’ve been arguing for a long time that using VPN for everything by default is just basic security.
