Originally posted by aldra I don';t really understand RISC. people have tried to explain the difference between RISC and CISC and it never makes sense to me.
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 latest line sarmat or caliber w/e probably was conceived during iphone0 era.
looking at consumer RISC-V stuff from china, like Kentryte K210 and K510 chips makes me think China's doing okay.

2022-10-12 at 10:05 AM UTC in Military Genius Zelensky wants Ukrainians to throw molotovs at Russian tanksSome detail on the actual power loss at each of the plants. One in Kiev looks like it took a lot of damage.

the same site has some details on the bridge attack planning

is it even technically a test? it's entirely subjective to the person conducting the test, they could be retarded. like the noncing code-breaker faggot who came up with the idea in the first place. -

2022-10-11 at 6:47 PM UTC in Military Genius Zelensky wants Ukrainians to throw molotovs at Russian tanksThe 'emergency' G7 response seems so weak it reads like a fuck-you to zelensky. As the meeting was being held, Russia was continuing to attack infrastructure. Germany seems to have sent a truck so far, and 'military' in their list of assistance is basically last on the list.
Maybe the TERRORIST attack on the bridge was done without permission? Also, the US basically got what it wanted, which was the end of NS pipes, I'm thinking there's not much left for them to give a fuck about.Leaders of the G7 group of rich nations have said they will back Ukraine for "as long as it takes" in the wake of Monday's major Russian missile strikes.
The group, which met for emergency virtual talks, said it would keep on giving military and humanitarian aid.
Nato also said it would stand with Ukraine for as long as necessary.
…
"We will continue to provide financial, humanitarian, military, diplomatic and legal support and will stand firmly with Ukraine for as long as it takes," the group said in a statement.
…
Following indirect threats from Mr Putin, Mr Stoltenberg said the alliance was closely monitoring Russia's nuclear forces, but had not seen any changes in their posture.

Note the BBC try to push 'military' support higher up the list than the actual statement. Such feeble little cunts. -
