   Apparently they moved to their own MIPS-derived ISA... but is it binary compatible? Anyone know? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loongson#LoongArch EDIT: apparently not https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/P

   Honestly that would be awesome. I still dream of autonomous vehicles auto-convoy and link up for efficiency. Just quietly become a train as needed.

   I mean a RISC-V netbook with a Linux GUI already exists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qDGV6LTOnk That is what is already exists. Put some money into it and you have a real product. The work Microsoft did for Windows on

   So previously ARM mainly just licensed the ISA or licensed already made cores for people who wanted to creating their own and now they want to shift the paradigm to mainly being that you buy cores from ARM and get them to customise them for

    Neutral to me implies intention regards of effects. It's accepting to act independent of effects and only on intention. Otherwise the word "neutral" no longer has any meaning. Indifference is not evil, malice is. This formula

    I am neutral in my choice of homelessness. I am choosing based on my cravings independent of the other effects. If the ownership situation was replaced, I would not change my choice. My decision-making is neutral on who is effected. When co

    Neutral refers to your motivation not to your effects. If I chose to have lunch at diner A, it may result in the owner of diner B, going homeless but I am not responsible for that. Diner B's owner may not appreciate that, but that does

    Aren’t Android binaries in Dalvik so you only need to port that to get it to run on RISC-V?

    I mean it's by Mitchel Hashimoto of Vagrant/Terraform/Consul/Vault/Hashicorp fame so that makes it relevant in it's own right.

    How does this compare to Tera Term? I thought that was supposed to be the best terminal emulator? I just seen it mentioned in some PDP restoration videos.

    That was a side hustle. That was expanding their markets. They also tried with the Atom and the Xeon Phi, but this is now other architectures moving into their heartland. Sure, if RISC-V takes over then of course Intel will adapt, but right

    Why would Intel and AMD put a hole in the wall that guards their duopoly? Justifiably it wouldn't be a sales booster in the short term and in the long term it's a threat.

    They want to keep x86 going because they have cross-licensed patents which keep their market share a walled-garden. Anything else would invite competition. Mind you, it's not just them. MIPS was pretty shady with their patent that even

    They are talking about individual components and what _can_ happen. What you can in these cases is a whole other layer of engineering. You want multiple redundancies. With concensus of independent units running. So have something like 15 gu

    Sounds like a great idea but a minimum of $2k/yr/developer ??? That's a lot. I mean I don't think the perks I get total that. I think getting $2k/yr total would be a lot to get from the places I've worked at.
