The 01/07/26 SitRep on Ukraine is ready: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2072576396501586214.htmlNearly 700,000 people rely on our Ukraine war reporting across platforms, reaching over 800 million impressions per year. This reporting has no sponsors, no corporate backing, and no political funding. It exists because readers chose to support it.For nearly four years, we’ve delivered real-time, verified updates, tracked developments, and cut through misinformation. Reader support directly funds verification tools, source networks, and the expansion of our team to increase speed, accuracy, coverage and quality of content.Reach alone does not sustain independent reporting. It survives because individuals decide it is worth supporting.If our work has helped you stay informed, consider contributing. Even small monthly support makes a meaningful difference and helps secure this work long-term.Patreon (monthly): https://patreon.com/NOELREPORTSOne-time support: https://buymeacoffee.com/noelreportsThank you for helping keep independent Ukraine war reporting alive.Greetings,NOEL & Team

China now officially hosts the world’s fastest supercomputer.The new system, named LineShine, has claimed the #1 spot on the TOP500 list with a staggering performance of 2.198 exaflops, making it the fastest publicly verified supercomputer on the planet.To put that in perspective: one exaflop equals one quintillion (1,000,000,000,000,000,000) calculations per second. LineShine can perform more than 2 quintillion calculations every second, meaning it can solve in a single day what would take a regular computer thousands or even millions of years.Unlike your laptop or phone, a supercomputer is not a single device, it’s a massive cluster of thousands of processors working in parallel. It breaks enormous problems into millions of smaller tasks, solves them simultaneously, and combines the results.These machines are essential for tackling humanity’s toughest challenges: simulating hurricanes, modeling climate change decades ahead, designing new materials at the atomic level, running nuclear simulations, accelerating drug discovery, and training powerful AI models.What makes LineShine particularly notable is that it achieved this record without using GPUs — the chips that power most modern AI systems. Instead, it relies entirely on traditional CPUs, showing an alternative route to exascale computing (machines exceeding 1 exaflop).Only a few publicly confirmed exascale supercomputers exist today.Of course, this level of performance comes with huge energy demands, LineShine consumes roughly 42.2 megawatts, enough electricity to power tens of thousands of homes.Even so, researchers are already looking ahead to the next milestone: zettascale computing — systems roughly 1,000 times more powerful than today’s exascale machines. If realized, they could revolutionize AI, climate modeling, medicine, and our understanding of the universe.Science and facts💡
