I guess there might have been some confusion from what I said to here.

I never said the Ukrainian puppet regime would never do something like irradiating Russia and Europe by blowing up a nuclear power plant, I just said that if they were going to bomb a nuclear power plant, releasing a lot of nuclear materials, there was no reason for them to go out of their way to get more nuclear materials to throw at it as just blowing it up conventionally would already be spreading a lot of radiation and adding more would likely not even make a difference.

So, either they would be attacking the nuclear power plant with conventional weapons or they would get nuclear materials to attack a city with a dirty bomb, but there is no need to attack a nuclear power plant with a dirty bomb as it is redundant and counter productive, so it might be that the news is either really bad propaganda or mistranslated/misreported.

The attack is intended to use radioactive warheads to target spent fuel storage sites at a nuclear power plant, and the ammunition has already been delivered to Zhovti Vody.

Where do I even begin to talk about how dumb this is?

It's like saying you will make nerve agent just so you can bomb a nerve agent plant. It doesn't make sense. Not even for the Ukrainian regime.

I guess you could add extra radioatice stuff to make sure it to gets mixed with everything else at the target site, but if you just use normal shells/bombs you can at least claim it was a mistake, so I really don't see how this makes sense as is.

If they want to bomb a nuclear power plant normal bombs, perhaps bunker busters, sufice. There is no need to do any more than that.

The only reason I can see for them to be searching for "radioactive materials" to target the plant it would be if they wanted spent uranium rounds, but that wouldn't be used because it is radioactive but because it is "harder".

So, either this is some dumb propaganda piece, some even dumber plan, or some dumb reporting or translation on what should be really serious.

Nice to see them doing something like this.

Now it would be nice if they could coodinate with the next two biggest producers, Russia and Tajikistan, the three of whom toghether have almsot 90% of the world's production, to also do something similar in exchange for investment. Or perhaps it might be better to just do the same restriction to another important resource.

There were also some very uncofirmed talks about China stopping drone parts exports too, which if they really did could have a massive impact on west.

Id argue its a sign of Ukraine trying to come to the table with a deal for peace that involves returning the contested border regions in the north (Russia recently pushed in further east, the trade will be for these two regions) and then likely peace on the current lines on the east.

I really doubt it as Russia is simply unlikely to accept a peace deal right after this attack, as they have already said, and specially if you also take into account that they had already said they would only accept a cease fire if Ukraine moved out of the oblasts that Russia is occupying partially in Ukraine.

As for what happens now, it seems Ukraine has already been mostly stopped so once things stabilize Russia will either push back as they have elsewhere or they will just hold favourable ground and let Ukraine pour as much resources there as they have, as they have been shown to pursue "PR victories" to try to prove their worth to the west so they will give Ukraine more resources to continue fighting.

Russia may also decide that with this incursion on their land it's worth it to further attack Ukraine's rear, like finishing off their non-nuclear power plants and perhaps might make Russia decide that they want more land out of this as well due to increased public support for the operation following the attack in Russia.

Ast it advances further if you get it you won't even be sure if you are really in reallity or trapped inside of it anyaway, unless you make your own, so I will let this tech for others or will wait until I can make my own.

Frankly, AI might have its uses, and I’ve found it useful here and there, but perhaps the cons outweigh the pros…

If I used a knife to write I shouldn't be surprised that I don't get good results. The other way around as well.

Present AIs/LLMs, like any other tool, has its places to shine and places where you shouldn't even think about using it, but as a new tool we are still figuring everything out while at the same time new versions are appearing. So we should be careful about how we use it, but for what it works great it should be used as any other tool and hopefully it gets used more and more for the people rather than for capital.

edit to better reply to you: The biggest con of AIs right now is capitalism.

How does a country like Vietnam or China tackle AI?

I don't know how they are using it but I'll give a few ideas about how they could be used to help improve countries, like:

A simple use is to try to get rid of as much work/human hours of work as possible and distribute this time to the whole population to enjoy life. In such a case it would be much easier to ask everyone to work hard to make new data to train the AIs to replace then by basically writing everything as if explaining to a new worker or giving the AI your emails, or even recording your talks with coworkers, to make more good quality data that will reduce everyone's workload.

Also, if a country were to ask each person to write a text about their lives, their strenghts, theirs problems, and an AI was trained on it the government, and the people, could ask it about what should be fixed in the country, how things could be fixed, and such things. Even if LLMs were simple "next token predictors" asking it to explain what people see as problems and how people think they can be solved could help governance in a Communist country massively.

I'm sure there are even better things to do though.

AI is great. Even if the tech stagnated for a few years a lot of improvements could still happen to what is available now and toghether with proper implementation of what's available could lead to quite a few good to amazing things. Too bad capitalism is trying to move its progress　towards what is bad for workers.

Death to capitalism and let's do what we can to see the US balkanize as soon as possible.

If they finally can get this done hopefully this also blocks the US from remaining in Syria as well, as I doubt Turkey will allow the US to remain in Syria using Turkish territory to maintain their bases.

That’s where the economic advantage in the west actually came from.

Don't forget the massive exploitation of the Global South for cheap resources and labour that allowed them to advance themselves at the cost of massively empoverishing the vast majority of the chain of production they relied on. Or in other words, they stole everyones futures for advancing only themselves.

Hope this means they can begin exporting chip making equipment undercuting and undermining western industry while making the lives of people from the Global South better by helping decrease the price of chips globally. Good job everyone!

And this could be a good oportunity for China to pass some big reforms to the benefit of their people and to maintain trade with non western countries as western production likely falls even more.

Always nice to have pictures of workers doing their jobs well while not working to make some rich persong even richer.

Also, any specs on the rocket or the launcher?

They look really nice.
