I don’t know how fast it is but that does not really follow. They added those instructions so that Linux would boot. Linux assumes Pentium and no longer boots on 386 or even 486 for the latest kernels. The presence of…
That one is offering Pentium Pro and SSE3 emulation. Not too shabby.
Time to rename Mercator the “Map of America”.
Marriages too
It is right there in the name. Software had always been one big project with a dedicated team to build something one off, like building a hospital. Every customer commissioned their own software. Microsoft recognized…
> RISC-V fragmentation bites again... Wrong. What fragmentation? Find me a 64 bit RISC-V chip you want to run Python on that will not execute an RV64GC binary. The issue is not fragmentation but ecosystem maturity. The…
Vector extensions are the biggest gap. That is going to make a pretty big difference for some stuff.
Great point. But QEMU is no longer faster than real hardware for the latest RISC-V chips. You are right though that QEMU is probably faster than anything only capable of RV64GC (lacking RVA23). So QEMU would probably be…
I imagine that their issue is reviewer bandwidth. If all submissions were high-quality, it would probably work. But that is probably unlikely. Maybe the project could host a searchable directory of AI contributions…
The problem is, Linux is improving too quickly for Haiku. I have been looking forward to running Haiku as a daily driver for years. And it is almost there. It may even be good enough now for many people. Modern browsers…
Lurking eyes perceive Your clever, veiled slight, well played. I tip my fedora.
I think there should maybe be shadow repositories available for Open Source projects where things like your driver could be contributed. I get why Haiku does not want to deal with it do this is not a criticism. But I…
Thank you!
Why does any country need a deal with the US? Canada is more integrated than anybody and they are walking away. Canada believes productive trade with the rest of the world is better than a bad deal with the US. China…
I think it can be Europe, Canada, Australia, and South Korea. The world has the technology. Canada has the resources and the manufacturing capacity. Europe has the money. It can be done. Look at Ukraine. They are…
You are both right. The world capitulates more than it should. But the world is also moving away and building contingencies. The world needs leadership. And Canada is helping with that. I do not think that reciprocal…
> I'd expect Raspberry Pi 4 levels of performance Well, there is some speculation regarding these chips so no sense arguing too much about it. That said, the SpacemiT K3 is already faster than a Pi 4 and even…
The SiFive, Tenstorrent, Rivos (Meta), and Qualcomm RISC-V chips are not fabricated in China. I mean, Chinese suppliers may license their cores of course. But even Chinese RISC-V makers were going to use TSMC until US…
History tells us that open standards pretty much always beat out proprietary ones in the end. You cannot buy the company backing RISC-V to take out the competition. And if a RISC-V company stumbles, the ecosystem…
The first Ascalon silicon, Atlantis, will not be the latest process. As you say, that will impact performance. But there are plans for other chips to use newer process, and of course you can license and do what you…
> China was investing heavily in RISC-V, which implies that either they're going to have to settle for permanently crippled perf Not quite. RISC-V application class processors are a new development. They are starting…
SiFive P870 and Tenstorrent Ascalon are pretty much Zen 3. Tenstorrent is supposed to be releasing silicon soon. You can license their cores now. SiFive says customers have the P870 already but I am not sure who those…
If you got “freedom with $$”, there would have been no ARM/Qualcomm lawsuit.

Current trends indicate that regular Windows 10 may as well.
