Russia has some evperienced infantry but they have and are using a lot of untrain troops. Even their well train infantry is often still being use wrong for the training. Every military commentator who has credentials to believe they know something [as opposed to say me who doesn't] notes how poorly trained most russians are. This is not soviet war doctine which russia knows and worries nato, it is something new and not expected.

NATO tactics have never been used as those start with air power which ukraine doesn't have. NATO hasn't always given good advice but this isn't the way they would fight.

ukrane is using tanks as they are made to fight. That isn't fight other tanks if there is any other option. tanks in previous world wars were fighting tanks but not today. Russia is sometimes using tanks like that and there they do well.
If this was true then we would find that jobs with physical labor pays much more than what it currently pays.

Oh talk.

[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian-occupied_territories....]

Looks like Russia has lost everything but a tiny portion they gained, at immense cost - including the near total collapse of their economy.

And are going to be locked in trench warfare on land they don’t control, with uncertain supply lines, with no air superiority - going into winter.

And is losing more and more control of the little they have left.

This is Russia’s Afghanistan writ large, and will lead to the total collapse of the Russian gov’t (and society) soon.

It’s already nearly destroyed an entire generation of Russian men - in the middle of an already epic demographic collapse.

Don’t get me wrong, this has wrought terrible damage to Ukraine too. But with Russia’s economy (previously) and population being 10x larger, this whole debacle is a huge embarrassment to Russia. Even bigger than the collapse of the USSR.

It would be like if the US went to invade Canada, and couldn’t even hold Ottawa.

Edit to answer your edit: maybe if the 18% was the land near Alaska. And they’re at almost the same amount of land they had control of when this whole mess started. All the major economically productive areas of Ukraine are still under Ukraine’s control.
Knowledge Table (OSS AI GitHub Repo)
There are other big selling points of Rust, compared to GPU-specific languages.

One is an expressive type system with algebraic types and generics. It's a lot easier to produce versions of code optimized for a certain use case. Only CUDA comes close.

This brings us to the ecosystem. Outside of CUDA, how many libraries exist that can easily be used from a shader context?

Rustc has great error messages. I don't know others, but errors in OpenGL shaders make me want to flip tables.

And being able to run the same code on the CPU is valuable as well, leading to simpler testing and debugging.

So unless you like CUDA and its problems, then this is rather attractive.

Yeah, but that all ignores the fact that those "concerns of many voters" are whipped up by one side of US politics who is, for all anyone can tell, doing that precisely in order to create political turmoil around elections.

Puts it in a bit of a different light, doesn't it...? So why did you ignore that bit?
Must be, because in the field of artificial intelligence, if these techniques are not in production and considered obsoletes it's for a good reason.

It may have been state-of-the-art in 1980s, but now is a bit late.

They optimise for different criteria. Westerners need a $thing$ to work for 5 years and never break. If it breaks, just getting a repairmen to get off his arse and come to your house is like £150. So it’s better to get an expensive $thing$ that never breaks

But in China, getting a repair guy is easy, so it’s better to get a cheaper $thing$ that’s easy to repair

What's "exoplanet science"? The above are applications of knowledge of physics to astrophysics, as far as I understand it. Certainly they sound more relevant to physics than neural networks.
It's a bit of a question about what kind of GPU programming we speak about.

Like you have complex GPGPU programs which have nothing anymore to do with graphics, programming of Graphics (shaders) and using programming for Graphics to do GPGPU (roughly).

In the later two cases you might want a shader language but in the first case you might want something more "general purpose".

And I mean tracking down wrong computations due to soundness issues or similar is still a gigantic pain in GPGPU.

And the absence of code level abstraction mechanisms is a problem with many shader languages, too.

But I still agree that I don't expect rust succeeding there, but it would be nice and it has the potential to at least get some niche success.

> a slap in the face to the physics community

The physics community could use a few more slaps in the face, according to many physicists.
Recycling is definitely one area of engineering that is under appreciated and difficult.

The tech involved in recycling solar panels. Sheesh. Specialized equipment and patented processes. All to separate polymers from the metals and minerals. It’s currently more expensive than mining new material. The challenge will be to make it affordable enough that it makes sense.

But general electronic waste? I can’t even imagine. It sucks that instead of answering the challenge the world is collectively shrugging and dumping it in places like Ghana.

Update: Part of the recycling equation is not only designing electronics to be repaired and re-used but also designing them to be easier to recycle. In the solar panel field there are experimental designs that give new panels the same durability and life expectancy without the polymers which would reduce the cost of recycling them at end-of-life quite significantly.

Computing is... going in a different direction. Optimizing density at the component level makes for more power-efficient designs and some efficiency in the supply chain... but it makes recycling and repair waaaaaaaay harder. Not sure it's worth the effort tbh.
Totally agree! Gohufont's clean, minimalist design is perfect, and having a bold version really adds versatility. An 8px version would be a dream, or even a 16px that scales down well. It’d be amazing for tighter UI designs and retro pixel art. Fingers crossed we see something like that!

As far as I can tell they didn't change a shader at all, they linked to code that looks like it runs on the CPU as part of the main binary not as a shader.

Neat!
I also did something very similar when I discovered PeanutGB( https://github.com/deltabeard/Peanut-GB ) for an university project.

I used an STM32F401 (the "blackpill" board). Shoved it into a gameboy case I got from aliexpress and connected an ILI9341 display, a PCB for the buttons I found online from some hobbist selling them and 4 AA batteries in series. The screen wasn't really the same as the gameboy's one in dimensions so it all looked very janky, but it was cool enough to impress people.

I had no audio, I was able to play simple GB games quite well but I had some significant slowdowns with stuff like Super Mario Land 2 or the later pokemon.
I had 3 big problems:
- First, I didn't use DMA at all. That's because I picked a display controller with 8 data GPIOs because at the time I thought "8 lines vs 1? its gonna be faster right?". Dumb me, I didn't consider that DMA existed...
- Second, I wanted to scale the image to fit the entire screen. I couldn't fit the scaled framebuffer in memory though, so I had to keep the original size but send each pixel to the screen 4 times
- Last, I read games from an SD-card. I had a tiny in-memory cache for recently read data blocks, but you could see when I got a cache miss. It wasn't often though so it wasn't bad at all.

I agree, it was an incredibly fun project

>> Laypeople needs a simple way to know who's who in advanced research fields, without Nobel prices (or any other commitee) we don't get to have that.

I think first you're underestimating "laypeople" which seems to include many scientists who are not physicists, and second you are forgetting that many of the scientists the "lay" public knows as the greatest of all times never received a Nobel, or any other famous prize: Einstein, Newton, Kepler, Copernicus, Galileo, etc etc.

AI, a problem solver or the problem in itself
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is both a problem solver and, in some ways, a problem in itself. On one hand, AI has revolutionized industries by automating tasks, analyzing vast data sets, and improving decision-making. It has solved complex challenges in healthcare, finance, transportation, and education, streamlining processes, enhancing accuracy, and reducing human error. AI-powered tools are helping doctors diagnose diseases more accurately, enabling businesses to predict consumer trends, and optimizing supply chains.

However, the rapid growth of AI also raises significant concerns. One major issue is job displacement. As AI systems take over repetitive and even skilled tasks, millions of jobs may become obsolete, leading to unemployment and economic inequality. Additionally, AI systems, if poorly designed or biased, can perpetuate discrimination, making decisions that reinforce societal inequalities.

Another growing problem is AI's role in privacy invasion. AI-powered surveillance tools and facial recognition technologies pose risks to civil liberties, as they can be misused by governments or corporations to monitor and control populations.

Ultimately, AI is a powerful tool, but its impact depends on how it is developed and deployed. The challenge lies in ensuring it solves more problems than it creates, while addressing ethical concerns and potential unintended consequences.

Edit: for lazard study I kinda fail to assume why they assume 4h storage? I mean, looking at California's grid, they need about 10-14 hours of storage of about 10GW each. And at minimum triple their solar. And that's for ideal 365 sunny days case. But they get about 100 cloudy days. Some of it could be covered with wind but it'll still be a lot. What you'll do in case both solar&wind will be low? Needless to say that this overcapacity will need to be subsidized heavily because excess solar capacity will be unused a lot of the time when most of day consumption will be covered, storage too - if it'll be used less and less, youll need subsidies for companies to build more of the stuff to get back their investment
