a big part of it was that it was abundantly clear that US companies were going to fall behind the rest of the world everyone else could use encryption to provide secure products, and US vendors couldn't

There's nothing in this about hiring consultants for money. Read it again. This is about export of technology, which you are doing whenever you post open source implementations of RISC-V technology online. The lawmakers are explicitly

Do you want the suppler of low cost, powerful RISC-V based microcontrollers to be china or the USA? Oh wait, most of the good MCUs already come out of china these days, like the ESP32 (now made with RISC-V). If everyone is turning to chines

Then you're including all kinds of time for other delays, like copying data over PCIe into the GPU for the next batch, or waiting for the CPU to orchestrate things. You could probably get a better estimate based on the network structur

Would love to see some shit that stops FAANG/M$ from pulling a daiper.com on startups, but I'm not holding my breath. What regulation could they possibly propose that would have teeth against companies with that much time and mone

Because you can't have your cake and eat it too. That much should be obvious to ANYONE with even a PASSING understanding of how open source works. In their report, the US gov wants open source collaboration on RISC-V between the US and

They cut a deal. Just like how apple partners with a chinese firm to store chinese users' data in china.

Blocked or not blocked from china's market, hindering US companies from developing and becoming leaders in emerging new technologies will not help the US stay ahead. China wants to catch up, and they will with or without US help. The o

It's funny, because a similar story played out between britain and the US with machine tool technology. The british were the first to go through the industrial revolution and had the best, most precise machine tool technology. They ban

Just compile regular Lisp with cosmopolitan. Then the same binary will run on windows, linux, mac, and BIOS. /s This has been done with Lua, see: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/issues/61

you don't need autonomy to be profitable. Imagine a car rental service where someone in an office building drives the empty car to you, then drives it back when you're done with it. No taking public transportation just to get back

How would you even measure that, with current tooling? There some option for counting float ops in pytorch or something?

This. One of the reasons the i.MX series of SoCs shows up so often in open source circles, and elsewhere.

The Raspi foundation isn't open. Full stop. They don't share schematics. They don't share source code. They barely tell you anything about the custom chip(s) they're now putting in the raspi for GPIO and ethernet/US

Have a read through the first paper describing a convolutional neural network, from 1998: http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/publis/pdf/lecun-01a.pdf There's absolutely no mention of biological inspiration whats

That's later backfill, a retroactive change to give a manufactured "biological" origin story. Whether they're real or not, researchers love a good "we took this from nature, isn't nature wonderful!" expl

You're going to have to dig deeper. The concept of a receptive field goes all the way back to convolutional filters. It's not surprising that we found out later the brain also uses such a fundamental element of signal theory.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they should that they didn't stop to think if they could.

Because drumming up talk about AGI is a really great way to get funding for your startup. The tech industry sustains itself on hype.

Expectations of a sudden, rapid transition have been made for the better part of a decade. Microsoft teamed up with qualcomm to build win10-on-ARM laptops back in 2016.

The brain isn't a faster computer. An infinitely-fast computer wouldn't meaningfully change the "expensive training vs fast, static inference" workflow that neural networks have always been developed around (except in th
