Apple helped to design Arm v8 they probably have huge influence on the direction of travel of the ISA. Plus they have huge investment in Arm based software and probably get access to all of Arm’s IP (eg big.LITTLE). They will migrate when t

So you believe that firms should abide by contracts but that firms shouldn’t try to enforce the terms of those contracts. I find it odd how Qualcomm is portrayed as though they were innocently minding their own business when they suddenly g

> Because nobody wants to fight over the licensing of a product they're shackled to. So when a firm licenses a RISC-V core from SiFive they should be free do whatever they want with that core irrespective of the license terms?

Why if Arm is correct does that add a risk that it's the bad actor? Most firms will have legal departments can look at this case on its merits and decide whether or not Arm is acting in bad faith. If I'm another Arm customer I def

I’m not sure what else Arm is supposed to do if it believes that the really big customer has broken their contract with them? I actually think this ought to be a positive for customers who are clearly abiding by the terms of their contracts
667.
by klelatti 4y ago
Indeed. I'm really surprised that some seem to be saying that Arm trying to enforce the terms of contracts freely entered into by two of its customers is a bad thing for the wider ecosystem.

Thank you for this post, which captures what I think is a key issue for many. I wonder though if there is a reluctance to adopt an approach similar to King's because people are wary (possibly subconsciously) of killing their enjoyment

What return can insurers assume under the MA and how does that compare to government bonds?

by klelatti 4y ago
Actually key parts of Solvency II (Matching Adjustment - drafted by the U.K.) specifically favours corporate debt over government bonds which is in part why actually U.K. insurers don’t hold much government debt at all. Really odd that you

Who was advocating for a proprietary monopoly? Not me. > I’m sure he’d be happy with any set of open archs dominating. But he wasn’t. He was advocating for his own single arch dominating which is quite different.

This isn’t the point I was trying to make. Rather some UK politicians feel (uniquely) comfortable in the US vs Europe. Part of that is the language. I’ve worked in Brussels and whilst English is spoken an awful lot communication is still no

Depends on what you mean by dominant. If it’s 60% fine but the tone here sounds like he means more than that.

I think its possible that you could sell this processor but that you can't sell it as an Arm processor - in the recent Arm / Qualcomm case Arm seemed to rely heavily on trademark infringement rather than Qualcomm infringing their

I have to admit that I was a bit taken aback by that section. I don't think I've heard an open source software project (even linux) articulate a desire to dominate other projects. The principle of open source yes, but not a partic

Did I say Rishi Sunak was American? No, rather that he has strong connections with the US. If I have a house in France and went to a French University does that mean I have strong connections with France. Of course. Likewise with the US.

That's a fair challenge but I politely disagree. - Brits are famously monolingual compared to the rest of Europe. - How many senior British politicians speak a European foreign language fluently - Johnson perhaps - I can think of perha

I’m going to name the English language as one of the suspects. A common language with the US makes many of the political and business elite focus on the U.S. It also makes them less inclined to put the effort in to engage with Europe politi

Just to support this perspective. It’s not only the quality point - which I agree with - but the fact that you know it’s Substack means that readers immediately know it’s a newsletter. Plus it stops you wasting time fiddling with themes too

That’s a completely different argument to the one that I commented on. And if that’s what they were doing then it’s still pretty embarrassing.
