Cute! My first computer was a C= 64 ‘beast’. I wonder how many of those this little fella can emulate :)

‘overcapacity’ is the newest US propaganda buzzword :-) Someone put together a list of insane western claims for 30 years. None of it stuck. Its the same propaganda playbook…

Looks to me that using shark patterns inside a jet engine (vs as outer skin) incl hardened printing methods is a new tech, and yes everybody can eventually imitate/repeat other peoples tech, but it’ll take time to get things right, so the article seem unbiased enough.

Damn, things are moving fast atmo ! Thx for info!

Ouch. I actually thought that HIMARS were one of the few successes, but apparently that were only in the beginning, and now they are worthless. Impressive. The level of Russian EW are confirmed from other sources also. I can’t really remember any weapons that have been a success ? All the Western super weapons seem to have been failures.

Just to add: Even if we can replace the energy from diminishing fossils with nuclear etc, there are still a huge forest/mountain of essential technology and products that are reliant on fossils, and they won’t be replaced by anything. I can recommend Nate Hagens on YT for more on the ‘energy blindness’ issue, and what it means for our civilization to lose the last.

Unfortunately it was paywalled.

I’m not an expert, but ASML uses a very powerful ultraviolet ‘cannon’ to edge patterns into their layers https://wikiless.northboot.xyz/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet_lithography, and apparently (from the few lines of article txt) the Chinese are going for particle accelerators for edging instead. I wonder if they will use a beam or just fire away on a masked wafer.

Slightly ot, I think hybrid photonic computing is the future, but that would probably also benefit from smaller construction techniques, so …go go China.

If someone is interested in chip construction and new AI trends in that area, I can recommend ‘Asianometry’ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1LpsuAUaKoMzzJSEt5WImw / https://redirect.invidious.io/channel/UC1LpsuAUaKoMzzJSEt5WImw and especially ‘Anastacia in tech’ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCORX3Cl7ByidjEgzSCgv9Yw / https://redirect.invidious.io/channel/UCORX3Cl7ByidjEgzSCgv9Yw

They have not reported on this Chinese particle thing yet, tho…

Looks like aprox. half of AI talent in US, are Chinese.

Surprised by Russia. They have a lot of skilled engineers/good education/science institutions. Anyway, they are sure to work with China now, so they’ll get accelerated quickly enough…

Despite Hollywood movies continuously showing the fan-mazing-ness of Western weapon tech/military and the same demeaning propaganda of ‘the Russian gas-tank nation’, the truth is that Russia alone have won the weapons race - by a huge margin. Add to that China’s / Iran’s drone capabilities and everyone can see that the Western Capitalist nightmare have lost their new worldwar, completely - even before they were 1/3 in. For anyone interested in how bad and archaic Nato/West military is, look up Andrei Martyanov (YT or https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/) or similar military experts…

OC Disappointing for the Liberals who thought they were masters of the universe and wanted a global war for continued ideological hegemony/dictatorship, but totally fortunate for every sane person on the planet. Bye bye Liberalism…

🎶 Go China, go China - yeah yeah 🎶

None. My comment was not sarcastic. I liked it and it was more honest than any normal western pov, thats all. Thanks for posting…

Good honest article…

Yes, that would be ‘indirectly’ just as we pay for electricity and hardware given to Boink or similar distributed computing, but psychologically it can make a huge difference. However, the exact method is imho less important than creating an AI workflow to assist in development of Lemmy et al. API keys can also come free trials, from private servers using https://localai.io/ or similar services with an API/Key.

Only a very small fraction of the 27000 new members are capable of developing the platform, and many (like me) don’t donate directly. However, members might be more willing to donate AI or other IT resources in an ‘indirect’ way.

There are 27000 members with access to an AI, that can code (more or less). There are also developer agent architectures like ‘smol-ai’, and ‘gpt engineer’ etc, that works directly on a code base, that could assist with the development. (https://github.com/smol-ai/developer and https://github.com/AntonOsika/gpt-engineer)

An AI could run through the git requests and create a list of ‘easy’ non blocking features to develop/fix, and the members developer architecture could take on one of these issues and do a pull request. Another way is for Lemmy to host such an architecture, and let members donate ‘AI prompts’, or even API keys (when accounting is possible) for common development.

The tooling/workflow integration isn’t quite there yet to be helpful now, and the chance of Lemmy devs getting time for this right now is null.

But how fast could Lemmy development get with 2-300 member AI’s working 24/7 on bugs/features ? I’m not a developer, so I don’t know how to set up such an AI assisted development workflow. But it could be done, and development speed of ALL open source projects in general would skyrocket with an open to join ‘AI developer architecture’.

Hey, we could even have a global federated FOSS AI developer architecture, and people/smaller AI architectures with cool ideas for open projects could request global FOSS AI developer time for their idea/project. I’m sure someone is already working on something like this.

Cool links, I didn’t know there was federated source code initiatives.
