That seems reasonable, no? The goal is for road users to pay for their use of public roads. Gas tax used to be a decent proxy for road usage, but with EVs it's not anymore, so we need something else. Reading people's odometers

Because "$X is bad" is boring, especially when it comes to LLMs. I use Opus 5 and it's fine. It's more chatty and sometimes a little more difficult to steer than 4.x was, but I've found the code quality of 5 to be m

Sure, but that problem should exist for both ARM and RISC-V. And if it doesn't yet, it will once RISC-V becomes more popular.

I hadn't thought about it, but yeah, that does sound like Claude. But it doesn't change the question; I still expect authors to be responsible for the meaning of what they post, regardless of whether they fully wrote it themselves

You can't really compare market caps like that. Addressable market or market share is only one piece of the puzzle, and the other companies you mention are in very different kinds of markets, with very different kinds of products, wit

Sure, but a quick search of AliExpress shows that you can get lots of ARM chips from them too, and I assume those are without any "verification hullabalu" as well, no?

Is the only source for ARM chips the big Western parts suppliers? If not, and you can get them from AliExpress or Crowd Supply, then, again, there's no difference in shipping between ARM and RISC-V chips. A quick search for "arm

An explosion of ISAs means the available talent for writing optimizing compilers will be stretched much more thinly. Unpopular ISAs will have slow, buggy codegen, and the popular ones will suffer somewhat, too.

I don't really understand the author's conclusions about cost and shipping, and how RISC-V is cheaper and more accessible to people outside the US and Europe. He first talks about how getting $1 worth of chips can cost $60-$200 i

I don't think "this feels true because it agrees with my personal biases" is a particularly great way to evaluate things. Better to be honest with ourselves, acknowledging the potential harm of a particular activity, while de

I think your base assumption is flawed: just because we've been drinking alcohol for millennia doesn't mean it's safe or good for us. Natural selection doesn't magically fix everything; there needs to be some sort of se

Why not, though? Eating is fun and pleasurable. If we can figure out a way to eat the things that we want, in the quantities that we want, while maintaining our health, why shouldn't we try? I've lost weight through forcing myse

Given the size of it and the significantly less weight it adds to the bicycle, I'd say half capacity is pretty fantastic. (Of course, "capacity" is misleading, as this will be less efficient than a real e-bike.)
