There was actually an article I read a couple years ago about a Russian produced server processor, tested compared to the Intel chip they were trying to square off against the Russian made design performed 3 to 26 times slower. In the final report they concluded that the Russian processor was "completely unsuitable" for regular use, but noted that they were pleasantly surprised that it actually existed at all.

      The “Russian interference” in the election was the illicit donations funneled through outfits like the NRA (I’ll be outraged with that when they stop the money from Israel, Saudi Arabia, and China, but it is a problem on some level) and a consistent social media campaign supported by botfarms and paid shills.
      Hacking allegations have always been a straw man introduced to muddy the waters except when “hack” is used as a euphemism for “take advantage of Faceberg’s algorithm” or when they were talking about the laptop and email server, which was a separate issue from “the election”.

      That's not true, having dozens of hand-soldered, throughhole components instead of one integrated chip introduces ten times as much potential points of failure, especially in applications with intensive vibrations and acceleration. It only makes devices less sensitive to radiation but it's not like this device is expected to spend months in outer space or inside reactor vessel.

      The one on the right is from the '80s or earlier while the one on the left is '90s construction, atleast they would be for any normal electronics. As a general rule old electronics suck ass and only work because edge rates are so slow you can ignore all good design practices. The one on the right is easily 10x more expensive to mass produce though due to the stacked assembly.

      Russian computing and electronics is an absolute hellscape. By the early 70s, a time which the US regards as the early days of the Digital Revolution, the Soviets had effectively already thrown in the towel and their standing policy towards computer development was to illicitly obtain western designs and attempt to clone them. Being in a perpetual state of playing catch-up meant that they never really developed the manufacturing base to support a significant digital industry, as by the time they'd managed to reverse engineer whatever tech the KGB had fished up, it was already obsolete so they would rather try to steal something new than produce what they had.

        Mid-2000s CPUs could easily be fast enough for many common uses, so in theory the Russians could run much of their systems on those. I think more countries should consider doing this, really.
        Fortunately, most modern enterprise software is garbage that runs at like 1/50 of its potential speed while consuming 50 times the memory it should. No wonder their homemade CPU was found unsuitable for running it.

          For better or for worse, software tends to expand to use up all HW capacity. Russians could shift to using domestic chips for future benefit but the immediate costs would easily be in the tens of billions. I kind of expect the chinese to do so at some point in the future.

      It matters alot. Tighter tolerances in metalwork, more precise geolocation and higher processing power, lead to more effective systems, leading to more effective use of ordnance, fuel, everything. When you can't produce that, you "fix" it by just massing more stuff. Which is what the Russians have been doing for ages.

If you let corruption and incompetence eat away at that network, you get what Russia is experiencing in Ukraine right now. Lazy unmotivated troops with lackluster gear, rusted to shit ammo, no winter gear, no optics, fricking T-62's. Needing hundred rounds and two hours to destroy a house that could have been done with 1-2 and five minutes.

      BTW friendly reminder that all "Soviet resistors and diodes" are just copies of American throughhole components from 40s and 50s. Just inferior copies. Usually series of components were partially copied, not all types American standard offering and they had much worse tolerances comparing to US one. Soviet practice of electronics making was to manually measure every resistor and capacitor before soldering as their real resistance and capacitance values doesn't meet nominal.

    no where it says that in image you posted, GDP is a measure of consumption, not output

        literally, when government uses your wealth to pay for its own lunch, it increases GDP

          Anon... do you know what are the methods of calculating GDP? I'll give you a hint, there's more than one.

                Do you consider it to be mislabeled garbage?
                After all, anything you can do with recursion you can do with just loops.

                understandable, as recursion looks snazzy in code but puts strain on stack but at the end of the day the compiled asembly will look similar for a given task.

                well, returning to gdp, you are looking at flow variable of goods and services that are consumed, but that automatically means they are also produced. You can't have one without the other and you can add them up from either side and should reach the same result.

                GDP is basically a bad faith argument as far as I am concerned, its used wrong, it measures the wrong thing and its usually used in bad faith argument to imply something it has nothing to do with

                It's the sum of economic activity.
                It's moronic to attribute production to the specific area where all the books were balanced, because the actual goods and services exchanged for money don't even need to enter the city where the exchange was made.

                You're right, because if they're no longer able to import because they're poor, and can no longer export, GDP will still rise with inflation even if noone can buy anything.

    Only upside to some Soviet hardware was you could fix it easily, most manuals came with the circuit diagrams.
    Soviet dosimeter units were generally cooler than the western equivalent even if they were just optimised 60s designs.

    And to think the CIA/SOAR has their hands on all of this too. I remember reading in Ben Rich's book (Skunkworks designer then head) that thanks to the CIA they had actual soviet jets to fly the F117 against in development.
