> Has it been demonstrated that RISC-V is architecturally suitable for making chips that equal the performance of high-end x86 and ARM designs? How would you demonstrate that besides actually building such a chip?

AFAIK that's the case with pretty much every ARM SBC, Raspberry Pi being the exception. They still support the original model from 2012 with their latest OS and it's a huge part of their success IMO.

I systematically hide them since I'm not interested in them and they just pollute the main page, and you're right that they've become a bit excessive. Looking at my list of hidden posts, there are 26 AI-related items from the

It only killed a small part of the video game industry (consoles) in a specific country (USA) and only for a couple of years. IMO this crash is given way too much importance for what it actually is.

I think that's a poor excuse. Screen resolutions are higher now but our machines are also orders of magnitude more powerful.

I feel like it gets posted at least yearly.

To be even clearer, 16-bit real mode x86 assembly.

Probably because GNU Emacs was too bloated for the Amiga's 512KB of RAM (or whatever amount the original model had).

Yes, a trap a lot of HD remakes and fan-made HD mods fall into is that they upgrade sprite or texture resolution but keep animation framerate or geometry the same, which creates a janky/disjointed look that I can't stand.

There's some kind of collision detection issue going on as I immediately fell through the pyramid bricks in the first level and got stuck inside them.

But that's not how it's pronounced in Arabic, see my other comment.
372.
by Narishma 2y ago
No, it's not. It's a soft 'H' sound in Arabic, the same as in Muhammad. It's closer to the English 'H'. The Scottish 'ch' is a different letter entirely in Arabic and doesn't appear in this

> The version with 'c' is one that contains a pronunciation hint for people whose native language is not Arabic (but probably English). What hint would that be? There's no 'c' sound in the Arabic version.

It's not a launch, just a (official) reveal.

It's like building an app with Electron, but worse. At least Electron has good font rendering and some accessibility and some OS integration.

Not that portable since it only works on a single PDF engine.

The hardware may be there, but not necessarily the drivers.

Not the parent but I too don't see what's wrong with that.

Did you play the original Half-Life 2 from 2004 or one of the "remasters" (though they weren't called that) that comes every few years that updates the graphics and/or engine slightly?
381.
by Narishma 2y ago
They say that but the engine seems to require an OpenGL 4 GPU while the graphics look like something that could be done on a Voodoo card.

The original IBM PC was ROM-based. It worked fine without a disk drive, it just booted into ROM BASIC instead.

42-bit is the right answer of course.

Debian is removing support for 32-bit x86 in the next release I think.

It looks good from a distance but as soon as you go near anything it devolves into a pixelated mess.
