At around $1,000 a shot, it is meant to make shooting down Russian drones vastly cheaper. AdvertisementAdvertisementAn Australian defense company has developed a new weapon dubbed the "drone killer" that could help Ukraine face Russia's suicide drone barrages at a low cost. The weapon can be mounted on a truck and operated with a joystick and a screen, Australia's ABC News reported. The US-supplied NASAM missile system, sent to Ukraine last winter, costs around $500,000 to fire. According to ABC, the cost of shooting down a drone with it is estimated to be between $100 and $1,000.

☆ Sea-ice levels in Antarctica at a 'mind-blowing' historic low
  + stars: | 2023-09-17 | by ( Marta Biino | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Sea ice levels in Antarctica are at an all-time low, the National Snow and Ice Data Center reports. Levels of sea ice in the region have reached record minimums this year, like in 2017 and 2022. Sea ice, the water that freezes on the surface of the sea in the Arctic and Antarctic hemispheres, has been decreasing in both regions. In Antarctica, sea ice levels reached record lows at least twice in 2023 after record minimums were detected in 2017 and 2022. Chart showing the levels of sea ice in Antarctica.

☆ NASA accidentally lost contact with its Voyager 2 probe after sending a wrong command. It could mean the end of its 46-year-old mission.

NASA "inadvertently" cut contact with its Voyager 2 probe after sending a wrong command. The 46-year-old probe is hurtling away from Earth at around 35,000 miles per hour. The agency said Friday it hasn't been in contact with the probe since July 21 after "inadvertently" pointing its antenna away from Earth. In the meantime, the probe is traveling 35,000 miles per hour through space and is 12 billion miles away from Earth.

An Australian mayor may sue OpenAI after ChatGPT said he'd been jailed for a bribery scandal. Hood told Australia's ABC News he was "horrified" that ChatGPT had been saying he'd been convicted. Hood told ABC News it was all the more "disturbing" because ChatGPT got some details correct. ChatGPTChatGPT also described Hood as CEO of Note Printing Australia, when he was company secretary, per the Herald Sun. This small notice at the bottom of the chatbot's webpage is "nowhere near adequate," Hood told ABC News.
☆ A 'perfect storm' of recession, debt, and out-of-control inflation is coming for markets this year, 'Dr. Doom' Nouriel Roubini says
  + stars: | 2023-03-02 | by ( Jennifer Sor | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
A recession, debt crisis, and stagflation trifecta is going to strike the US economy this year, according to Nouriel Roubini. Roubini, known for his doomsayer predictions on Wall Street, has warned for months that another financial crisis will hit markets. Roubini, one of the first economists to call the 2008 recession, has been warning for months of a stagflationary debt crisis, which combines the worst aspects of 70s-style stagflation and the '08 debt crisis. The result would be a steep recession anyway, followed by more debt and inflation problems. "Now we're facing the perfect storm: inflation, stagflation, recession, and a potential debt crisis," Roubini warned.
☆ More than 300 passengers were forced to stay on a plane for almost 7 hours after it diverted for a medical emergency

Jetstar passengers were forced to stay on a plane for close to seven hours on Sunday. The flight from Bangkok to Melbourne diverted due to a passenger's medical emergency. The Jetstar flight from Bangkok to Melbourne landed in Alice Springs, in Australia's Northern Territory, at about 7.20 a.m. on Sunday. The 320 passengers on flight JQ30 had to wait on the plane for almost seven hours because the airport didn't have "customs processing facilities," Jetstar said in a statement. One passenger, Paul Tarrant, told ABC that the plane had issues with its air conditioning and the entertainment system was turned off.
