Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he has an agreement with the US to make security guarantees legally binding through a vote in Congress as part of a deal to end Russia’s war.
Russia’s war chest is being hammered by the double-whammy of a slump in oil shipments and a continuing decline in prices, sending the value of crude exports to the lowest since January 2023.
European Union member states are discussing a raft of new measures against the shadow fleet. Among measures being discussed on the EU level are “trade policies, visa policies” as well as “denial of services” to the flag states of the shadow fleet ships.
West Texas Intermediate oil fell below $55 a barrel for the first time since February 2021 on signs that supply is outpacing demand, while progress in Ukraine peace talks could lead to a deal that may allow more Russian oil to flow onto global markets.
Britain ordered a review on Tuesday into foreign financial interference in politics, following the conviction of a former member of the right-wing Reform UK party for taking bribes to promote Russian interests in the European Parliament.

The Russian-controlled #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine is currently receiving electricity through only one of two external power lines, its Russian management said on Tuesday.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced that Germany will extend the military aid for Ukraine for the year 2026 by an additional €3 billion. This makes an overall support of €11.5 billion, a new record. Joint operations in drone production has been announced, as well.
Additionally, Ukraine will be supplied with vast amounts of AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles from German army stocks.

What have African American people - because that’s specifically what 13/52 refers to - have to do with “kikes” and Russia is well beyond me, but I guess that’s the kind of brain rot you’re experiencing from overexposure to Russian xenophobia.
It reminds me a bit of how in 2020-2021 #COVID19 #Russia was pumping anti-vaxx propaganda through their language RT editions in foreign languages while RT in Russian was doing something entirely opposite - promoting “Sputnik” vaccine. Russians were paranoid enough to know, when RT in Russian says one thing, they need to verify it at other sources, and they verified at all the Western anti-vaxx blogs that flourished for RT money.. and translated the anti-vaxx bullshit back into Russian, driving down their own vaccination rates 🤦
🇩🇪 Germany will transfer a large number of Sidewinder missiles from Bundeswehr stockpiles to Ukraine in 2026, Defence Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed at the latest Ramstein-format meeting.
Though originally air-to-air missiles, Ukrainian engineers have successfully adapted them for ground launch, significantly boosting Ukraine’s air defence capabilities.

Memory at the Speed of Light
Look inside a science fiction computer, and you’ll probably see tubes and cubes that emit light. Of course, it’s for effect, but the truth is, people do think light computing may be the final frontier of classical computing power. Engineers at the University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute and the University of Wisconsin-Madison are showing off a workable photonic latch — a memory element that uses light.
The device uses a commercial process (GlobalFoundries (GF) Fotonix Silicon Photonics platform) and, like a DRAM, regenerates periodically to prevent loss of the memory contents.
On the device, you’ll find a combination of tiny photodiodes, micro-ring resonators, and optical waveguides. Simulations show the memory element can operate at 20 GHz and might even be readable at 50 or 60 GHz.
If you want to dive deeper, the work is based on a paper from earlier in the year.

Ottima osservazione!
Aggiungerei che la cosa che importa è il flusso di energia, nel senso che un sistema che fa lavoro o computazione deve essere tra due bagni termici a temperature diverse, uno da cui assorbe energia, un altro che usa per raffreddarsi. Altrimenti si avrebbe quello che chiamano un perpetuum mobile del secondo tipo.
Non sono un esperto, ma da quello che leggo, mi pare che nello spazio sia difficile ricreare questa situazione sulla scala di tempi che un data center richiederebbe. Tenderebbe a diventare presto una scatola tutta in equilibrio termico.
Credo che il problema stia anche (e forse, soprattutto) nelle scale di tempi dei vari processi termici.
Grazie mille @andrea_ferrero@sociale.network per la precisazione!
Concordo, suona piuttosto complicato costruire nello spazio un centro di calcolo di dimensioni appena modeste. E capisco che il tuo "da tutti i punti di vista", sottolinea giustamente l'inconsistenza degli argomenti che sostengono che in orbita il problema del raffreddamento non esiste. C'è, come quello dell'energia.
