I'm very excited about India's ambitions. It would not only be meaningful for India, but for many people around the world. We are lacking open chips, and project Shakti is on a trajectory to solve a part of that. I wonder when GCC

I can't answer how much research or work is done to make the tools more user-friendly as I'm rather exclusively on the user-side. There exists extensive documentation in form of multiple PDFs, but they are only of little help to m

I'm currently working on the formalization of Catalan's conjecture (or Mihăilescu's theorem) in Isabelle/HOL/Isar. My personal impression is that more formal verification is necessary in math, and it should be tough

We are not used to be free. Economic restraints force us to do things we don't want to do instead of watching Netflix. So most don't understand what "just watching Netflix" means. If you set out to "just watch Netfl

> Which would you rather have? A wealthy society with inequality or a poor society without inequality? This is a good as in goodwill and honest point here. However, I think it isn't a dichotomy based on evidence. For example, most o

This reads like a figurative kick in the face to those who argue against free education and social programmes "because the market will solve it and those that work hard enough will make it, so it's fair". The world is deeply

Isn't the solution introducing another type of memory abstraction in the kernel next to "available since boot" and "hot pluggable", namely "later added but won't be removed"?

But there have been reasons given. They want to use standard tools to deal with the log. They want to see the scripts that manage the system and poke around in it, which has the implicit reason to learn about the system and being able to ea

Is there a Windows version for RISC-V? Can they still legally use it? Do they want to dependent on Microsoft? I think these are questions that need an answer and I doubt that they are all answered affirmatively.

Intel has a huge variety of different models. They are experts in market segmentation. They could do that. But they won't, and there are few who could do that. With RISC-V, it is reasonable to expect multiple vendors to provide CPUs. T

Nuclear reactors in cars are a bad idea. Even if they can be built small and never needed refueling, cars get destroyed in all imaginable ways all the time, so the nuclear pollution would need to be expected to be released often. Also, we d

I cannot get the game to play correctly. I'm using Debian with AMD open graphics, and about everything works fine, but this game is horribly broken with it. I'd love to play it.

I was also once called out by dang. He did it so respectingly and understandingly that it made a change for me. This was much better for my reflection about what was wrong about my behaviour than if I had been moderated more heavihandidly.

We are one in many. That means we just share the influence. Many issues are not binary, and often the individual contribution to a problem can be canceled out completely by individual change. The influence may be small compared to the sum o
