Re: The Navy is rebuilding its anti-submarine tracking system
I need to see AI effectively classifying acoustic signatures with my own eyes before I believe it. I wonder how many millions of dollars we have sunk into "Automation" over the past 50 years with basically "bupkis" to show for it.

Me too. At the very least there are going to be a lot of false detections. I can't imagine a machine that could take all the variables into account and come up with the right answer more than 75% of the time.Hell, I never knew a person who could do that. As far as I can tell to be really good at this takes a certain quality that I honestly can't define or even put into words. Some people are really good at it. And nobody has ever figured out why.

Hi Jane! I think I first met the CO ( initials CR) when he was hooked up with wires and they were trying to play it onto SPEAR. SPEAR was his baby, as was the hideous philosophy of “WIDRIO” (when in doubt report it out). I disliked that mess and he once told me I would be either an officer or a seaman when I left there. If you recall, he also forbid oral boards so we reverted to one on one reviews :) It’s funny, I was just thinking of you a couple days ago and our time in the CVB training division. Hope you and Art are well, my affection and admiration for you remains strong!
