- Symmetry 3y agoThey had a bunch of really interesting ideas but trying to innovate in more ways at once brings exponentially more risk. And there weren't only trying to reconceptialize how computers worked, they also were doing a weird innovative corporate structure too. Once the patents expire I hope someone makes a RISC-V design that just tries to get their, e.g., virtual and backless memory working with Linux. That seems like it would be worthwhile in and of itself.
