Amazing user interface. Seriously inspiring stuff.

Like you, I've built some C++ analytics infrastructure that I would have loved to have in an earlier corporate gig. But unlike you, I have no idea how to build a UI that people will want to use. I do everything at the terminal.

Can you recommend the best way to get going with UI development? Like, what tools should I use, what should I read? Is it even possible to get started with ~1week investment in learning?

But it does take a state to load out an MQ-180 with hellfires that will automatically target anyone whose IMSI has been within 100 yards of someone in the "disposition matrix".

One caveat.

It's safety first, unless they decide to go to war to ensure continued access to cheap commodities (Iraq) or to play weird sociopath power games (Vietnam).

It's going to be kind of rich when they ask people from podunk towns in "flyover country" to go fight their next war, after years of ridiculing them and decimating their local economies.

Didn't a ban on space weapons forestall the weaponization of space by a few decades?

Didn't bans on chemical and biological weapons keep research in those fields small enough to prevent the emergence of politically potent factions with a pecuniary interest in their development?

The nuclear test ban treaties have held up well.

There is a big difference between "states openly develop these things and rich people lobby for more budget", and "states have secret programs as a hedge against noncompliance by the other side".

There aren't many contexts where "crypto" means cryptography anymore.
