Depends on the perspective. To Putin it’s not a problem, for him people are expandable and cheap. You just write some laws and they grow again in his view. As the land grab is forever. Your and mine views are non-dictatorish and as such don’t apply to Russian imperialism.

If the war ends with unlawful territorial loss, then we all are in big trouble because it opens doors for more land grab. Not that Russia or US mind it, though.

I’d laugh at you if this was 2024. Today? I’m uncomfortable with such statements.

Yes, sure, but that still doesn’t make them good soldiers.

Could be, who knows. Though the countries listed are not part of NATO and are weak. And at least in Moldova it’s not easy as Russia doesn’t border it and for Armenia they have to go through Georgia first.

TBH it’s still early for evaluating consequences - it might still prove beneficial for Russia, especially with orange in chief.

Good point. Ukrainians doesn’t have that much of weapons and are heavily reliant on west. Except for drones, but at least some major parts are bought from other countries. But yes, it would increase Russian military to some extent, though I doubt Ukrainians would be good Russian soldiers.

With what? They can’t even handle war in Ukraine and they run out of plenty of hardware.

Not that expensive either. And that’s already included in the energy price. Also volume is magnitudes smaller than used solar panels.

Nuclear is reliable, predictable and stable 24/7 source. Solar not so much and possibly not that great for the environment if we don’t figure out what to do with used solar panels. Also their production is not exactly clean. Whereas nuclear requires a wasted fuel storage somewhere and the fuel will eventually run out of radiation in some hundreds of thousands years.

Blackmailer in chief.

Trump’s 24hrs to end the Russo-Ukrainian war are becoming Putin’s three days to conquer Ukraine.

I’d certainly hope for RISC-V. Perhaps now that we have a little bit more of an incentive, we will make some progress.

But outside of TSMC it looks like just Samsung competing in the space, as you said Intel miles behind and AMD sold off all it’s fabs

Not sure how it is going, but Chinese are also pouring a ton of money into bleeding edge class processes by using an alternative technology than ASML (for obvious reasons). Will try to find the link somebody posted.

Yep, and that’s a biggly problem. If EU AI becomes a threat (or perceived threat) to US economic and other interests (and especially when orange is in charge), they would slap tariffs at those at least. If not forbid export.

And on what EU hardware it will run?

*If that happens and public knows it

Another negative effect will be other allies wondering WTF.

Around the Raspberry 5 or lower level from what I read. More for developers than for practical use, but then again, I don’t have real world experience with it.

LOL, wut? Italy is dead serious about this. But then again it only shows what ICC is really about - persecute only those who are in country’s interests and ignore the others
