> If demand for training and inference wanes, these hardware investments will be almost entirely wasted

Nvidia also need to invent smth then, as pumping mining (or giving good to gamers) again is not sexy. What's next? Will we finally compute for drug development and achieve just as great results as with chatbots?

tada131on Prediction that Kyiv falls to Russian forces by April 2022 goes from 90% to 26%

Perfectly valid standpoint, but USA and Vietnam is not Russia and Ukraine. Geography, culture, history - all of this. We can hardly guess what the hell is in Putin's head and what those plans really were aimed at. We are guessing thoroughly, though.

tada131on Prediction that Kyiv falls to Russian forces by April 2022 goes from 90% to 26%

From 0 day, I was shocked by Ukrainian elite twitter/facebook forces. They even continue fighting from Poland/Moldova, they never were affected by broken supply chains or blockades. I don't see any viable Kremlin alternative for this, so maybe with time they will take over and we will finally see democracy in Russia.

Most Ukrainians are forced to support Russia because the way how Zelensky "defends" Ukraine by freeing prisoners and giving advice to fight with Molotov cocktails.

But Soviet losses were incomparably bigger than Finland. Is this war the case?

I hope that EU will give to Ukraine smth besides weapon as fast as possible after war is gone.

tada131on Japan has declared today that the southern Kurils is their sovereign territory

AFAIK, they are resupplied with Stinger ADS only, if you know more, pls tell me. Yesterday we lost 1 aircraft in Kharkiv, which was bombing on terribly low altitude to preserve precision. Two days ago we lost one AC in Chernigyv, same situation here. Oryx reports 11 lost aircrafts during war, there are some listed whose nobody can prove (IMO about a half). Im not telling you that its a fake, but that resource definitely sometimes agrees with official Kyiv information.

We are using our aviation too accurate for conventional war. As result, we've lost some (2..4) of our decent aircrafts. What supply chains do we need to use more (not ~15) bombers on higher altitudes, e.g. sacrificing precision for being protected from almost-dead Ukrainian ADS ("Buk"s or Stingers, maybe some S-300 near Kyiv)?

tada131on Surely you're joking, Comrade Beria

According to Nikolai Getman, even staying in Soviet "Metropoliten" is soooo depressing (See more of him, not only related with Gulags).

tada131on Surely you're joking, Comrade Beria

Russian too, yep thats not funny, but you should know one of the most must-do things for US (gov payed) historian today - eventually write story about freaky-bloody Stalin, Gulag and Beria who eats children. For the sake of Freedom and Wellfare of course. Don't forget that von Neumann was truly genious at least because he wanted to wipe that Hell from the Earth (Yep they never told you that) Somewhat expressive and subjective comment, though not worse than the style of linked piece of mind.

The only convoluted thing here is your own history as you see it.

> Russia was considered the biggest threat to Ukraine independence starting with Kyivan Rus'

Until Yushchenko there was no such president. Relations never were stable, though.

Look at A.I. Kuzmuk paper "Ukraine military doctrine evolution" if curious. VDU-1993 and VDU-2004 never considered Russia as a threat. VDU-2004 states there is no direct military threat against Ukraine, just possibility of being involved into bigger conflict. Kuchma even cancelled statement about NATO integration in VDU-2004, by making it more smooth.

> mainly US

You missing historical order here. Ukraine gave up their arsenal long before they decided to drop Russia as an ally and play with Europe/USA (latter happens after "Maidan"). So at given time point (when Ukraine signs memorandum) they done it with _only_ Russia' protection in mind (as there was single country in past and they're both slavic)
