LLM is going to bring tons of cool applications, but AGI is not an application! You can feed your dog 100,000 times a day, but that won't make it a 1,000kg dog. The whole idea that AGI can be achieved by predicting the next word is jus

by paying thousands of $ just because it is risc-v? sorry, but I can't afford such price tag at the current laughable performance ratio.

If you can't even get decent performance out of such so called "development machine", what is the point using it rather than just run qemu? If it is not about performance, what is the point having multiple cores in the first

that bundle gives you 1/10 of the performance of a typical x86 server system. let's don't forget about that.

you need to have a tumor in the brain to fork out $1,500 to pay for a half baked dev machine that just deliver 1/10 of the performance of an intel/amd server processor.

you don't need a paper from a group of UK developers to understand its performance & potential. The processor is made by a Chinese startup, as China is fighting an all out semiconductor war with the US, there is literally unlimited

this is cool stuff, I have the feeling that using FPGA to implement a more powerful CPU could get you more fun down the road. anyway, this is just hardcore engineering, hat off to the guy behind all these.

Don't use home-grade SSDs for storing anything that is considered critical. The rule is not that hard to remember.

After all these recent shit regarding crypto currencies in the US, you don't need a full brain to figure out that there is a huge hole in the system. It is also amazing to see that CZ managed to walk away free of any jail time, kept mo

No. Being the first class element in the go language, channel is nothing different from a []byte or a regular struct. The whole purposes of having such built-in channel as a part of the core language is to encourage everyone to use it whene

I don't think choosing channel itself is an issue, if it works for the said platform, that is great. What I don't understand is why there should be such a blog article telling people that you decided to use channel in your go base
