Reminds me of trying NsCDE… it changed a ton of settings and no other desktop looked right after that. I ended just blowing away my home folder and restoring my files

Hopefully it’s drop in compatible with GNU coreutils else a lot of scripts are gonna break

Make a fort

You can demand itemized receipts for everything they want to take from the deposit, at least I’m California

Good, fuck Leon

Very good point about the DMs. Surprised this issue isn’t being raised more often

Eh, they just pass all the pain on to consumers

I think we’ll see m1+ levels of desktop performance on RISCV within the next 4 years though. trump will do wonders for the Chinese semiconductor industry

I hope so, that would e awesome!

On their servers? possibly. RISC-V is competitive when you stuff a bunch of cores into it and make it do basic server tasks that haven’t gotten more complex over the years. And in AI, you may just need a cheap CPU to orchestrate your GPUs/NPUs so anything will work there.

I think this is the approach Tenstorrent is taking with their AI accelerators, but I’m not entirely clear on how much of the processing is done in RISC-V and how much is custom silicon. But, as a reletively inexpensive PCIe card, it seems pretty interesting
