One third of Americans voted Democrat. One third voted Republican. One third did not vote. I hold the last group most responsible.

What “checks and balances”? The SCOTUS ruled that presidents cannot be held accountable. The constitution is pretty clear. Trump does not have the authority to invade Iran. Yet he did. What are you planning to patch? Despite everything, Tru

Your point seems to be that the US has not changed. Regardless, the world thinks it has. The “coalition of the willing” is not behind the US this time.

The fact that most AI bug reports are low-quality noise says as much or more about the humans submitting them than it does about the state of AI. As others have said, there are multiple stages to bug reports and CVEs. 1. Discover the bug 2.

Sure he wrote a port scanner that obscures the IP address of the scanner, but does he know anything about security? /s Oh, and he wrote Redis. No biggie.

RISC-V is not a "CPU technology". It is an ISA. I assume the primary "regime" you refer to here is China. What they have shown is that, if forced to, they are perfectly capable of producing their own domestic technologie

As nice as this is, it is one of two years out. Hopefully Tenstorrent will have gotten to this performance level first. What I really want to see is a C930 that I can buy today.

“The company said the RISC-V design enables more granular firmware optimization for QLC NAND management and AI-specific I/O patterns, resulting in a 23% improvement in energy efficiency over the BM9C1.” A 23 percent power reduction is

I should have replied differently. “Good enough” here was meant to mean good enough to sell more, and therefore to drop prices. That is already happening. It just needs to happen more. And I think it will. If you don’t find the RISC-V board

I agree with you and do not understand the “I read every manual” and “I test all software” crowd. I play around with A LOT of software but I cannot test it all. Speculation is not useless if you are saying “the answer I got makes it 99% lik

Well, part of “good enough” is features. The RVA23 profile was ratified a few months ago and the first chips are appearing now. That brings RISC-V to feature parity with X86-64 and ARM, including things like vector instructions and virtuali

RISC-V microcontrollers are inexpensive but “application” processors will be expensive until volumes increase. Performance will get “good enough” over the next 2 years. Prices will drop after that.

The RISC-V ISA can be fast. Tenstorrent Ascalon, expected later this year, is expected to be AMD Ryzen 5 speeds. Tenstorrent hopes to achieve Apple Silicon speeds in a few years. The SpacemiT K3 is about half as fast as Ascalon and availabl

That has been the case so far but is changing this year. The SpacemiT K3 is faster than QEMU. Much faster chips are expected to release over the next few months. I mean things like the Milk-V Pioneer were already faster but expensive. One t

RISE is supported by many legit companies. Stealing is for sure not the intent. The idea is to promote testing on RISC-V and to eliminate lack of hardware for being the reason not to. Obviously, low budget projects and Open Source are the p

I think they are still working on silicon. But the two solutions do not really compete.

Rivos is about making GPUs. It will be interesting to see how this all nets out. It is going to be a huge 24 months for RISC-V. My biggest concern is that everybody will have already placed their bets before then.

Even today, web formats cannot render documents with the same fidelity as ODF. Especially not for spreadsheets. Remember, many people feel that neither ODF or OOXML are sufficient and reach for things like LaTeX. I think LibreOffice also su

Other than buying oil futures, probably selling to cash and getting ready to buy when it hits the fan.

It is more important to the US administration that more oil be on the world market to keep prices in check than it is to protect US troops. Makes perfect sense (completely immoral but easy to understand).

The article is largely about the copyright concerns of LLM generated code that was almost certainly trained on the GPL original. Also, it is essentially an ext2 filesystem as it does not support journaling.
