Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

[The Mad Monk]

Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko undermined his key ally Vladimir Putin when he said that the men who allegedly opened fire on the Crocus City Hall music venue in Moscow last week, killing at least 139 people, initially attempted to flee to Belarus, not Ukraine—contradicting the Kremlin line.

Going against Moscow's claims, Lukashenko said on Tuesday that suspected assailants from the March 22 concert hall attack originally tried to cross into Belarus—which borders Ukraine and Russia—after they fled the scene. Newsweek emailed the Russian and Ukrainian foreign ministries for comment on Wednesday.

The big quetion is, whether Baikal Electronics has QA procedures to find out (and remove) the defective chips before they get sent out to their customers, or not.

I mean, it would be a rather bad thing (at least for the Ruzzkis) it their guided missiles would not find their way due to defective chips ... or even woud attack friendly units due to them.
Much worse then, if the chips wouldn't get used at all

to be fair many major semiconductor manufacturing players have also had high failure rates for their cutting edge stuff at various times. IIRC both TMSC and Samsung had 50% yield rates for their 3 nm chips when they debuted. If Baikal is tackling 5nm or smaller this probably shouldn't alarm them or their investors.

Kudos for the anti war effort.

"I hope those who are eligible to serve in the Ukrainian Armed Forces will join. I can't believe it's at 27 years old. You're fighting for your life, so you should serve, not at 25 or 27 years old. We need more people," - Sen Lindsey Graham

I wonder if Lindsey wants to deport Ukrainian teenagers back home

contrary to several witnesses' claims Lindsey's fangs did not appear briefly as he snarled his way through the press conference.

I'm sure Taiwan is taking notes.

drone warfare has obsoleted surface ships and submarines will be next... anything that cant outrun a drone or its missiles

Nice little video talking about why the nonexistent Ukrainian fleet are so effective - it may be a bit nerdy

Calling a machine "AI" doesn't make it intelligent.

[Serb]

Ever heard of AI?

[giblets]

I doubt they have time to feed a machine learning algorithm thousands of examples of "spam" and "not spam" posts so it can learn to tell the difference most of the time (still won't be 100% accurate)

[Serb]

Fix it already!

I really don't understand your comment or why exactly your forum software sucks so badly!
It's a 21st century as far, as I've checked it out this morning.​
