To the extent that Raspberry Pi shipped a microcontroller that can literally be either RISC-V or ARM (indeed, one of each at the same time I think?)
RISC-V, it seems to me, lives in that cognitive space occupied by things like: open source, open weights, C, HTML, ethernet, Greggs sausage rolls and VHS.
Far from optimal, obviously flawed, and could change human society for the better. Ubiquity is inevitable.
- pertymcpert 2mo agoNot sure why you had to take a pop at Greggs there. Nothing wrong with a hot sausage roll at all. Assuming you can find a hot one.
- riversflow 2mo agoyou should review the data on processed meat. It's one of the least healthy things you can eat.
- benj111 2mo agoDo Greggs sausage rolls even contain meat?
- taffronaut 2mo agoThere is a meat option
- bregma 2mo agoIs there a named meat option?
- pertymcpert 2mo agoWhat processing do they do to the sausage?
- bee_rider 2mo agoWhat’s far from optimal about open source? Open source seems like a window into another universe, which is just lightly better than ours: people just working on problems and sharing solutions, because humans are basically good social creatures that enjoy solving problems. To the extent to which there are issues like the difficulty of funding open source projects: our society is wrong, not open source.
