I've looked into the "why" of that, since I, too, wondered why a design that comes from the University of Berkeley (the home of BSD) lives there: international legal protection and tax reasons. That said, because of that, you

RISC-V is an American made, American owned design that just happens to be open source hardware friendly. Reuters is acting like this is some sort of a) amazing new technology that isn't just the newest iteration of a 30 year old archit

Depends entirely on the CPU architecture. The most simple answer I can give is: yes, when its safe; when its not safe, that's part of an entire category of meltdown/spectre family exploits.

Surprisingly no. I'd expect similar performance. In these designs, the actual memory controller that talks to the RAM is part of an internal fabric, and the fabric link between the core and the memory controller is (technically) your u

TL;DR: Maximum pipe speed, assuming both programs are written as optimally as possible, is approximately the speed of what one core in your system can read/write; this is because, essentially, the kernel maps the same physical memory p

My fellow comments aren't actually getting to the point: The original release of the Pentium 4 used Rambus RAM, instead of the JEDEC standard of the time. This Pentium 4 was released in the year 2000. So, yes, Rambus, the company, is a

Can dang do something about the corporate spam that keeps popping up on HN? I don't think meta, or Apple, or the rest of these companies need help advertising products.

The hardware supports it fine, if you ran any other OS it'd work. OSX refuses to support it because it eats into their monitor sales that use an alternative TB-based multiplexing protocol (which is only available on Apple devices, whic

Academia has always seemed like a colossal joke to me. You pay a lot of money, give up a lot of opportunities to advance in life that are offered to everyone else, have no skills relevant to working in any industry related to your field of

If Amazon has $4B to invest into what may end up being the Theranos of AI research, why don't they have $4B to invest into their workforce and, you know, actually pay people instead of all the extra-legal shenanigans they're pulli

This is true, however, keep in mind that x86 is the 4th most produced CPU family, behind ARM, MIPS, and PowerPC, and RISC-V is coming up real damned fast to bump x86 down to 5th. All CPUs today are RISC descendants: yes, even Intel and AMD&

rxvt used to be my go-to terminal, but it was only fast in the era where we had actual 2D hardware. That era ended, oh, like 15 years ago? Ish? On the AMD side, Radeon GCN 1.0 (think 7970) came out 12 years ago, and that was their first car

Technically yes, but how that is handled is up to the country. In the US, a concept known as "corporate personhood" exists. A strange concept, because if a company murders someone, the company, nor any of its executives, go to pri

It already succeeded in it's goal however: all the people who wish to use a Twitter-like service, but as a federated system, use it and like it. I'd rather a service have been a success amongst its smaller userbase than be an anti

The problem is... who cares what this ambiguous "people" want? Mastodon was created by and for its intended userbase, as in, people who want a federated Twitter-like interface to ActivityPub. Don't like it? You just exclude

Mastodon isn't an app, it has apps, but isn't one. In your parlance, each Mastodon instance is "an app". The real apps, however, many of them can log into multiple accounts and change which account you're posting
