The assassination attempts on China’s tech industry in general backfired a lot already

Which also had the effect on pushing RISC-V development forward, which is great.

Are there even any advantages to it over ARM?

mp3@lemmy.ca on 15 Jun 15:56 collapse

At a technical level it’s still young and most likely not as powerful as other similar platforms, but on a legal level the instruction set is an open standard and royaltee-free, so it can’t be embargoed through licensing like ARM or other instruction sets.

I’m happy to see more openness in hardware.

Wait so ARM isn’t open? Ok now it makes sense

erwan@lemmy.ml on 15 Jun 16:43 collapse

No it’s not, anyone can get a license to create an ARM chipset but you do need to pay for a license.

I still don’t understand. Is it like RHEL (they give you all the source code) or more like Windows?

erwan@lemmy.ml on 15 Jun 16:58 next collapse

It’s neither. It’s a specification that you can use to build your own chip.

So it’s more like MPEG where you can read the doc and create your own implementation.

Too technical; didn’t understand. I prefer RISC-V at this point

erwan@lemmy.ml on 15 Jun 17:56 collapse

How can you have a preference if you don’t understand?

GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml on 15 Jun 18:02 collapse

You didn’t say it’s fully open-source so RISC-V is better no matter how “open” ARM is

erwan@lemmy.ml on 15 Jun 18:08 collapse

Yes, on the licensing front RISC-V is better.

Moonrise2473@feddit.it on 15 Jun 16:57 collapse

Closed source but if you pay enough you can get the source

Assassination attempts on Russia’s economy have been similarly <img alt="meow-popcorn" src="https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/9faa4b54-24df-405d-b234-e84ea6e8d44f.gif">. The imperial core is speedrunning its decline.

The problem with assassin the Russian economy, is to do it faster then it commit suicide.

yogthos@lemmy.ml on 15 Jun 17:05 collapse

If by commit suicide you mean grow faster than any G7 economy making Russia 4th largest economy then sure.

The difference between east and west is that Asia can adapt to whatever shit comes. They don’t care, they just adapt in any way and keep going. While west would never accept any harm to their burgeons life.
