Unfortunately both parties on this are horribly bad. The Democrats just as bad as the Republicans. In their seal to not seem weak against the Republicans they have accepted the basic premises this foreign policy was developed. Unlike Saudi,

Crimea was part of Russia for 100s of years and never had much to do with Ukrainian nationalism. When the Soviet Union was established Crimea was part of the Russia Republic. It was only a power play by Khrushchev to move Crimea into the Uk

There are tons of people using System Verilog for RISC-V. The majority of work done is with System Verilog and not Chisel. Having lots of cores in both Chisel, System Verilog and many other languages (VHDL,BlueSpec and so on) is a huge benf

Apple and Tesla do perfectly well everywhere, in China and guess what, in Switzerland, one of the most democratic countries there is. You are suffering from strong does of selection bias.

A differentiation socialists love. In reality, all explicitly Marxists regimes are well represented by the book pretty well, whatever Orwell own believes. Marx himself was incredibly authoritarian as acted in his own movement and what he wa

That's why you have profiles, nobody expects the base spec to take over the desktop world. However, RV64GC is a perfectly fine base profile for desktop computing. Its not yet complete and eventually for desktop a more extended profile

Nothing is stopping it, just as nothing is stopping people from copying any open source software. My point is exactly, its not designed to 'stop it'. In fact, the opposite. If somebody wants to replicate large parts of the open so

Its not 'under-debated' it been literally debated in every single forum that ever had a post about RISC-V. Its literally the most debated thing. The reason its not very likely to happen is because we have a gigantic open source ec

Because you can't make an open ARM or x86 core. Yes SPARC was open before and not much happened from it, but just because something didn't work the first time, doesn't mean it not a good idea. The world is different now compa

The solution to this is profiles. Profiles are the idea to combine extensions for specific fields. There are also special standard extensions that you can implement that overlap with the standard extensions for some special instruction. If

ULA is not new, its basically Boeing and Lockheed Martin getting together to form a monopoly. The rockets themselves have a lot of legacy going back 60 years. These rockets were developed for the US government and ULA itself has never creat

Well, we actually have a large amount of companies trying to do it. Like 40-60 different companies. Not to mention government projects. Of all of those, only RocketLab has managed to do it, and their rocket is basically as tiny as you can b

It can actually land. The Saturn V cost absurd amounts of money and used gigantic amounts of army of people.The Starship program also wants to solve many problem that the Saturn V or even Apollo didn't.

Foxconn is actually making a car platform themselves https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Foxconn-aims-fo... Tesla and others are already using LFP as well btw.

They could have easily bought like 40% of Tesla a couple years ago, instead they were fucking around with their own car idea for years and years. Buying 40% of Tesla would have been a drop in the bucket for Apple, and it would have already

If you want to buy a company outright you need to pay more then the market cap.

Elon Musk started 20 years ago. So in 20 years Apple could of course build rockets if they wanted.

Building one car and building millions of car is not the same thing. Car production, distribution and servicing is a totally different very localized problem. Apple can do it if they really want do, but lets not pretend it is easy.

The problem there is nothing that is truly next generation. Better batteries are designed to cost more. How much more then 400-500 miles do you need on a car? How much faster then 2-4 seconds to 100km/h do you need. Better quality inte

Tesla designs its own chips, they don't use 5 nanometers but they are working on 7 nanometers. You need to have very good microelectronics to build a modern car. Yes, car makers have to worry about hardening against nation states. Prob

The point is that Tesla is making money, with the people they have heir to do the work and have a path towards self-driving that is not inherently money losing. Saying that having a single car that is approved for self driving in a single g

It was not a system designed to drive by itself, it was a lane assist tool. If the person falls asleep, any such lane assists would eventually lead to an accidents. Road network are dangerous. And to simply ignore that the same system has s

I never claimed they have. I said they are making money with the technology, those are different things. And you fail to respond to my actual point.

Ok, sorry about that mistake. Tesla will enter that market and they should. They want to sell 10 million + cars. Model 3 has far more range then 250km, it had then that even when it was released years ago. Its comparable with the ID.3, more

What people don't seem to understand is that the market for EV is fundamentally limited by batteries. We know about how many batteries will be produced in the next 5-10 years. The EV market will grow as fast as the battery market can s

Because of EU regulation all car makers have dropped all their plug in cars into Europe. Yes that dropped Tesla market share in Europe, but it also means that many cars wont even be sold in the US. Many of those cars in Europe are also plug

Tesla has like 28% of the global BEV market and has been growing that % every year. They have been doing that essentially with 1 car program and another 1 that is half ramped. There are gigantic segments, like trucks in the US, they they do
