still though, there's more to it than clock speeds and ops per second.
it's less about being able to fabricate 'modern' chips and more about being able to replicate the functions current chips offer and again, once they're directly competitive, a LOT of code is going to need to be rewritten for the new platforms.
I'm not saying it's impossible, just that it's going to be a real slow process. I'd like to be surprised and see more 'open' chips become common in the market sooner rather than later but I'd doubt it.
Russia is and always will be 2 decades behind the west cuz IBM 300. China same thing for similar reason. -
2022-10-13 at 6:54 AM UTCthat's funny because China's currently around 1-0.5 decades behind

It's mostly marketing-speak, which is why it doesn't make sense. Still, there is an ideological boundary between simplicity and complexity. It's obvious in software, like making a function inline for speed, but consequently consuming more memory. It's a trade off based on requirements, there's no right or wrong way.
In hardware, you can choose to use transistors for complex operations, or you can leave those operations to software.
Historically, a simple example is the Z80 LDIR instruction. It copies whole chunks of memory around, in just a single instruction. It works as fast as it's possible on the architecture, but some would argue it's not worth the die space, or consequent power consumption/heat. You can achieve the same with a loop, and the transistors can be better used for general purpose registers and cache.
So with modern CPUs, RISC/CISC are just sweet-spots that designs seem to cluster around. The CPU I mentioned above has DSP/TPU capabilities too, which fits neither, but marketing departments will doubtless come up with acronyms for sales guys to get hard about.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2022-10-14 at 5:12 AM UTCElon Musk has said that he's going to have to shut down Starlink service in the Ukraine unless the US government can pay for it (a lot of the costs are currently covered by private donors and PACs but he claims that only covers client hardware, not service costs). The numbers he's giving are absurd - around 20,000 individual terminals with the Ukrainian government wanting more, and each terminal's monthly service cost being around $4,500 (?!).

he cares more about the midterms than $100 a barrel for oil

hah yeah, probably
that or when the Ukrainian ambassador to Germany told him to 'fuck off' he said 'yeah ok but I'm taking starlink with me'

he's been a vocal proponent of the major mobilisation that essentially drafts men up to 60 years old now, but his own son dodged it to go study in Germany. and he gets really, really mad when German politicians ask him about it. -

It's disgusting seeing this level of anti-semitic hate. Comparing Zelensky to the other jedi mobster Meyer Lansky. I thought he was supposed to be memory-holed by now.
If you ever wonder why Ukraine won't capitulate, look no further than the money coming in. It's the best thing that has happened to the Ukrainian elite since Gorbachev sold them the entire industrial infrastructure of the country for a pair of goats and a sack of oats. -
2022-10-14 at 9:29 AM UTCBy the way, Russia has a draft, but my understanding is that the Ukraine is still relying on the good ol' free market to drive goyim to their deaths. Wages start at about $300 a month, but it includes 3 hots and a cot. That's a fortune when there are no other jobs in the country, and, as a white gentile male, you aren't even allowed to leave.

it's not really a draft yet.
currently they're calling up professional military who have served previously, but the new law authorising it was left intentionally vague so they can potentially call up conscripts (ie. the people who've only served their mandatory reserve year) in the future... which seems to have been the primary issue they were protesting when it happened
