The author mentions Rust's portable SIMD library [0]. The only issue with portable SIMD is it's only available on nightly. I used it in my FFT crate, but we had to switch to the fe…

This argument usually depends on how you quantify defense spending, no? [0] In terms of PPP, the U.S. is falling behind. To be perfectly clear, that doesn't somehow absolve the siz…

Going back to Clausewitz, war is a continuation of politics through other means. Moreover, victory is achieved by using force to compel one's opponent to carry out one's will. > in…

I always remember it as the opposite of what I think is typically called the granny knot. In the case of the square knot, it's just right over left, then left over right.

Have you taken a look at Iran's targeting capabilities and the assets they were able to destroy? More importantly, have you considered who facilitated those targeting capabilities?…

This one and the square knot are indispensable

Wow. I was not expecting that topic when I clicked on the link you provided. When I went through such a selection process years ago, we took all sorts of tests before and even afte…

The Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) has an updated tally on defensive and offensive munition expenditures. It's likely not 100% accurate due to the sensitive nature of those…

Author here. The $75M is specifically for Ground Based Interceptors (GBIs). This is the U.S.'s ICBM mid-course interceptor. There are other interceptor types in the current U.S. ar…

The recently announced "Golden Dome" project intends to get around this issue by putting a vast constellation of satellites into orbit. Each satellite would likely need a serious s…

That's also great for letting the compiler unlock auto-vectorization opportunities without delving into the world of manual SIMD. Even storing something simple such as an array of …

Hi, One of the authors of PhastFT here. Thank you for your interest. We went out of our way to configure FFTW for AVX-512. The Rust bindings don't do it, but the FFTW itself in the…
