Perun took a side. A major result is that he often either downplays or outright ignores things that don't agree with his world view. Look at his deductions then see how things actually went. There's almost always a massive discrep

How do you do combined arms into a minefield? It's a WW1-style mess where combined arms simply don't work. Ukraine tried NATO tactics summer of last year and suffered a catastrophic defeat. Going across minefields requires convoys

Look around and you can find tons of Russian and Ukrainian soldiers skeet shooting drones with various levels of success. There are issues though. Skeet guns are 28-34" barrels which is super-long. These guns are also heavy. Once you h

You're talking about a year ago. Today, Russia has the largest and most experienced infantry on the planet. Ukraine tried NATO tactics in last year's offensive and got slaughtered. If they'd tried to bunch up even closer (as

Russia's use is more similar to the use you describe in the marines. Come in fast and low, pop up the nose and fire off the ordinance while popping flares then get out before the MANPADS can take a shot. The problem is that this limits

The 1-bit serial version is 2100kGe (excluding registers). Their talk claims the 4-bit variant is 2.5x larger (while being 4x faster) which is around 5250kGe. Add in all the registers and you get pretty close to that 13kGe number (assuming

They are spot-on with the transistor count for the CPU (though I believe it doesn't include all your RAM registers). SERV is a serial CPU that can range from doing calculations just 1 bit at a time up to doing them 4 bits at a time. h

React has one up-front size for rendering code whether you use 1 component or 10,000 components. Svelte and Lit rendering code size just keeps going up, and up, and up.... You can argue about which is better, but this kind of naive size com

Mega65 is a nostalgia project aimed at targeting a specific kind of older computer system. If practical and simple were the goals, it wouldn't be using an 8-bit chip nor would it be focused on things like BASIC as these kinds of things

The Saudis are handing over their own money rather than using US taxpayer money. That's a very different situation. Likewise, most of the maintenance and training is done by ex-military working as contractors. You don't understand

The Saudis aren't getting my tax money. If they get weapons, it's because they are paying big money for them. I don't believe we should be selling them weapons from a moral perspective, but I do understand (though I don'

The latest issue is an attack on Israel? Are you referring to Oct 7? Oct 7 had a 71-72% civilian casualty. Project Lavender considered a 90-100% civilian casualty rate to be acceptable and the number of civilians killed vs number of Hama ki

The world is the most unstable it has been in decades. If/when a war kicks off, you have to have your supply chain local because the oceans will be instantly impassable until we can work out how to counter submarines. This has little t

TSMC started sampling N5 in 2019 and full production in 2020. This means the US finally has a 5-6 year old TSMC node in the US. Hardly a big win.

If someone broke into your house, took over most of it and killed your family member while the police said it was perfectly fine, how would you respond? Just live and let live? Probably not.

TSMC charged just a hair under $4000 per 16nm wafer in 2020. Wafer calculators at 0.2 defect/cm2 on a 300mm wafer gives 950 fully-good dies out of 1061 for the old die (~89% good) and 1469 fully-good dies out of 1584 (~93%) for the new

Their numbers seem to indicate that Pi disabled parts of the chip in firmware instead of physically lasering them out. This leaves those parts still leaking some current and explains the power difference.

Zen5 can be more efficient at lower clockspeeds, but then it loses badly to Apple's chips in raw performance.

Not just simpler basic allocation. There are fewer hazards to account for as well. The process on RISC-V should be shorter, faster, and with less risk that the chosen heuristics are bad in an edge case.
