I believe everything quoted in this article because when something comes out of russia, it's always true. 🤣🤣🤣

Those researchers better not be lying, the last hypersonic missile scientist was arrested on treason charges because the missile wasn't actually hypersonic...

You've got other problems if you cannot believe people are capable of writing critical articles about their own ethnic, cultural, or origin countries government.

is not professional to attack the editors, we can choose not to read the articles. Poeple reporting news are not responsible if they develop or not as intended in years to come. Also Mr. Shilov might be have the language advantage to have a broader insigt in russian topics so it's natural to produce more articles in the matter.

My only point was that it is illogical to see an article written by anyone, read their last name, and then make unrelated assumptions about motive. We should be able to objectively read this article and judge it on its contents rather than point fingers because of who wrote it.

You're right. What I said was unfair. And it as very speculative. The idea I really meant to convey was for others to use critical thinking to determine the validity of articles by examining the source. Determine if there is a conflict of interest and determine if there are any other reputable sources with the same information. Don't believe everything you read. But don't disregard facts based on biases. Always dig deeper.

Agreed!

So, let's examine the claim. If it's not using masks, the only way I can see how it works is by using a steerable beam. If true, then how long will it possibly take to trace out all the circuit structures?

Or, maybe it works like a raster-scan. Again, I'd be concerned that it won't scale well to larger circuits.

It sure would be nice to get more details on the underlying theory of operation!

This article was written by a Russian.

If you want to hear about technical developments in Russia, you need someone not only fluent in Russian but also knowledgeable of the scientific and technical jargon. Same with China.

I think Anton and Zhiye are assets to the site. We should be appreciative of their efforts to keep us abreast of developments in these countries. Don't assume their ethnicity has anything to do with their political views.

I don't know if it was actually he who removed it, but whoever abuses their mod powers like this, clearly doesn't do it for objective reasons.

AFAIK, authors and editors of the site generally don't have moderator privileges, in the forums.

Furthermore, in politically-charged threads, don't be surprised if a moderator deletes your post without reading it carefully enough to pick up on nuance.

That's an interesting last name. Is that a ruskey version of this:

"
What is an Internet shill?


In online discussion media, shills make posts expressing opinions that further interests of an organization in which they have a vested interest, such as a commercial vendor or special interest group, while posing as unrelated innocent parties.
"

Anton Shilov has a long history of tech writing on different websites (AnandTech and IIRC DailylTech before they went bust for the first time), reporting mostly on semiconductor industry. In this case he is reporting on claims made by people in Russia, just like he reported on developments from TSMC (Taiwan), Intel (US of A) and so on in the past. Does this make him a pro-US shill as well?

I for one appreciate news and reports on everything tech related. It's interesting to learn where other countries are technologically.

Correct. You should not attack the authors, but you certainly may provide constructive criticism of the article. Especially if it helps inform other readers. Just don't assume authors read these comments - it seems many don't.

Civility and respect are required by all. For those who stayed on topic, thank you.
