I have written about this as well[1] and even built a Github PoC about it comparing both approaches regarding speed[2] but one of the main flaws is the lack of a deeper consideration for sorting and filtering examples and impact demonstration. Will look into adding more detail about that in an addendum.

higher res there are the FLIR Boson ones.
The only flaw in your story is that you are posting it on the internet and you are saying that it is still ongoing. There is probably a way to contact them via the internet or maybe with a plain old letter. I'm sure you already tried everything but it is still weird that you are posting about it here.

This is one of the most interesting projects I have seen this year. Congratulations for the idea and for the execution.
> The point is that if you want a general purpose performant cpu (like ARM/x86) targeting a wide swath of applications, you will end up with these optional extensions as default.

Yes, but the number of instructions is still minuscule compared to ARM and x86. It am sitting with the reference sheet here in my hand. It is just two pages. Very quick to read over.

> And then it is as bloated as others.

Eh... nope. A huge number of those instructions exist due to cruft building up over years, not due to an actual need. A major source the huge number of instructions is tons of SIMD instructions which have superseded each other. RISC-V designers have specifically sought to avoid this preferring a Vector extension instead which adds a lot fewer instructions as it is more flexible.

People keep saying that is complex, but several companies have already made implementations of this. Esperanto Technologies is making SoCs with over 1000 RISC-V cores with vector extensions. So it cannot be that complex if they can fit that many cores.

And the compiler technology is better developed for vector instructions than for SIMD.

> And it is wishful thinking that it will happen otherwise.

It is not wishful thinking to assume a couple of lessons have been learned decades later in ISA design. You can just read up on the details about how the RISC-V ISA has been designed to understand how they are able to keep things simple while still retaining flexibility.

> Whether ARM/x86 thought about extension from the ground up doesn't matter if you are targeting the same application space as them.

The flaw in your assumption is that you seem to think all those instructions are actually used and need to be able to handle modern tasks. Tell me how much software today needs special instructions for Binary encoded decimal numbers? x86 is full of that kind of legacy bloating the ISA, with no value to modern software.

> I have not seen anything done to even acknowledge this issue, let alone do something about it, for the simple reason that this lies far into the future and has no impact on the current scenario.

I think you should just read what they have said about all these things. They have thought a lot more about this than you seem to have. They been doing ISA design for many decades and seen problem develop over time. RISC-V is a response to all those problems of the past. To not build yet another bloated ISA with redundant legacy instructions.

> Do those phones have UEFI and ACPI support, or SBSA[2] support? If so, can you point me to where I can read more about it?

This question is beyond my knowledge, but you can already install >17 operating systems on Pinephone (https://xnux.eu/p-boot-demo/) and >3 on Librem 5 (PureOS, Mobian, postmarketOS [1]), so it should be there.

It's more about the content of the image, the optimization can only do so much. If it's a pixel art or the palette is reduced to hell, then yeah, probably; otherwise I don't think you can display a 256x256 photo in 2KB.
Why walk inside though?

All my complex architectures and systems were also conceived while pacing, so I hear you, but I never considered walking in circles in a room.

Now I'm curious – is that better than walking outside? Why not walk in nature or a park?

I understand not wanting to walk in a dangerous / unknown area (the pace regime implies full autopilot), but a tiny apartment sounds extreme. And isn't the proximity of external tools – like a computer – distracting to your thought process?
He was cancelled by the Oscars, they realized their mistake and invited him back, he told them to stuff it.

This is a major snafu for 'major event' and is obviously a function of cancel culture.

Bias is not bad in sciences. It means the person is dedicated to his/her cause. For example, if you read through nobel price winners you find one very strong common factor. They were always emotionally involved in their work.

Humans are emotional beings, not robots. If you want to have high performance, you want the performer to care deeply about his work.

Biases should not be hidden though! I think that is the pathology people generally confuse with bias. Bias is a positive thing, hiding it is not.

This does not contradict the above examples (lawyer, doctor, dev) but rather highlights there are different situations and no single approach to bias suffices.

Besides, journalism is almost never unbiased. If you don't know the bias of the writer, it means the writer has a hidden agenda. Much better to flaunt the agenda, then.

I'm not talking about writing, though. Writing is certainly harder than talking. But I'm talking about scrawling notes. Drawing pictures of data structures, abstract flow diagrams etc. It's not for reading.

I've worked in a vineyard for a Summer in Croatia
Which region of Croatia if you don't mind me asking?
My family has a vineyard (800 liters, for our personal consumption) so I know the hassle you are talking about. From what I can tell there has been some advancement regarding automation in the area of vine making over the past years with tractor attachments that allow automatic and precise spraying of fungicides as well as machines that automatically pick the grapes (shake,comb and vacuum). By that I mean, that it has become available even to smaller-medium producers as I see people using it.
As you probably know, a lot of what a winemaker does is adaption of the vineyard to seasonal conditions by adjusting variety and quantity of spraying with (usually) fungicides, reducing the leaves and reducing the grapes (in order to increase overall sugar and quality). This variation would be something that would be reduced using greenhouse/indoor growing.
It's not the engine's fault for having terrible performance on simple levels. Most indie devs don't bother with LODs, occlusion culling, and turning off unused features. Decades old tricks like turning off unseen/far away actors, merging mesh and material to bring down drawcalls is also alien in the minds of asset flicks. Both engine provides many monitoring tools and utilities to fine-tune performance and settings on each quality level...

Very few cou tries right now have a self sustaining birth rate. I believe no first world nation has a self sustaining birth rate.

This does appear to be a major problem everywhere that is going to be one of the big challenges we face in the coming decades.

Not sure what the answer is but off hand it seems that conservatives and those that are religious have higher birth rates than those who are secular and liberal thus part of this problem is clearly values/cultural.

The Guardian is far from neutral. It's one of the most biased publications out there in my opinion.

We also know that most people who get a LOT of sunlight, thus providing their bodies with better-than-adequate tools to produce PLENTY of vitamin D naturally - have not gotten sick with Coronavirus. Farmers, farm-hands, surfers, people who work on and at beaches, landscapers, roofers, construction workers in the south, etc. etc. etc.

Most of them haven't gotten sick. However - some have. And some have died. The exact same thing can be said for anyone who hasn't gotten plenty of natural sunlight and vitamin D. Most of them haven't gotten sick. Some have. Some have died.

So you can see right there that vitamin D has had no significant impact on Covid, at least not in anyone who is not already deficient in vitamin D. If it had an impact, then most people who are shut-ins and don't supplement, would have gotten sick, or even died. And that just hasn't happened. "Most" haven't gotten sick.

There's a really important point to grok: AAA titles are more about asset management and art than they are about coding. There is no silver bullet to simplifying the creation of games and artwork. Roblox is as close as you get today because it takes a ton of the work out of making many kinds of games and starts children with enough templates and community created free art to get rapidly started. Teens and young adults who started at Roblox have made some very impressive games: World // Zero, Arsenal, and Bee Swarm Simulator all come to mind.

If your game is close to a starting template, it makes it fast to create something fun and let you focus on iterating with players. The further you are, the more effort will be involved. At some point, the effort becomes equal or greater to the other platforms, however, most kids learning on Roblox don't have the skills to start with Unity or Unreal Engine.

Taking a step back and shifting markets back to GPU hardware, NVIDIA CUDA is Roblox of the GPGPU world - a single stop shop for really great templates and tools to get you 90% of the way to your scientific goal. That last 10% can actually be more like 90% if you're in an area where the platform is missing something (this is universally true for all platforms).

The computing industry is full of tradeoffs and people re-learning and re-creating patterns to solve similar problems to those that were solved 5, 10, 15, and 20 years prior.
I would liked to mention how different families work in China. Children will take care of their parents in old age. Multi generational living is common in Asia. Chinese Grandparents take care of children while the parents are working.

In many many many ways this Chinese system is more resilient to the downsides of aging compared with the western individualistic lifestyle.
I would expect nothing less from the Guardian these days.
I was interested to see hunger is increasing as they claimed. This doesn't makes sense. But this quote from a better source seemed to explain it, basically a statistical blip. That said, with the coronavirus it will continue to increase.

"The UN FAO have linked this increase in undernourishment in particular to the rising extent of conflict-affected countries (which is often a leading cause of famine), and compounded by climate-related factors such as the El Niño phenomenon (which can inflict both drought and flood conditions)."

But adding compression just costs 400 gates, how on earth is that an issue, even on a small controller?

The C extensions saves a lot more memory than these more complex instructions. So even if you don't add macro fusion, you are still getting advantages from fewer cache misses or less money spent on cache.

You seem to talk theory, when in practice we know the BOOM RISC-V CPU outperforms a ARM-32 Cortex-A9, while requiring half the silicon area. The RISC-V is 0.27 mm2 while the ARM is 0.53 mm2 using same technology.

And what you are missing from the overall picture is that a key requirement for RISC-V is that it is useable in academia and for teaching. It is supposed to be easy for students to learn as well as to implement simple RISC-V CPU cores. All of that is quickly out the window if you go down the ARM road.

That RISC-V pulls off all these things: higher performance, smaller die, simpler implementation and easier to teach validates IMHO their choices. I don't see how your argument has any legs to stand on.
Tesla had a direct path to drop the price by using economies of scale. If you just can't grow a crop, it just won't work. This is more akin to saying that battery density is low enough that it only works up to scooters.

I have an iPad pro wifi from 2018 with totally dysfunctional wifi and speaker and IPS bleeding. This is my second one, the first one I exchanged for screen bleeding also. I have the last usable Mac Book Pro (2013) custom order with i7/750ssd/16gb ram and will change the battery myself soon (Apple refuses to fix laptops from 2013).

The last Apple product that I have bought is Mac Mini 2018 - unlike other Apple products, Mac Mini is easy to open and installing the ram was a surprisingly light experience. I expect next generation of Apple products to be totally glued, without option to repair at all. I have no problems with this, because I will not buy any Apple product in the future, but Apple creates trends and other manufacturers copy quick.

I don't see change for good in this direction unless legislative measures arise and insist repairability to be mandatory.
"The power adapter often can't provide sufficient power to spin everything up at boot, and needs the battery as a buffer"

Space based solar is obviously several decades away. It's so obvious it doesn't have to be said.

While I don't think using the energy on earth is a good idea I'm sure it would work out for space based manufacturing. If you can send the silicon modules to space and manufacture the rest onsite you could probably make it economical.

This ignores a lot of nuance. There are a large number of species which have independently evolved significant intelligence, many of whom have been observed to use tools at a level comparable to our geologically recent ancestors. We currently occupy the "use tools to dominate the world" niche - any other species that adapts to use more advanced tools will come into direct competition with us. Regardless of how easy or hard it is to get into this niche, it's unlikely that more than one species will occupy it at any given time. However if we were to suddenly disappear, there are many candidates that could potentially get to our level within a few million years. There is no reason to believe life bearing planets are rare (all evidence points to earth-like planets being common), no reason to believe the evolution of sentience is rare (depending on your definition of sentience, it happened more than once here), and no reason to believe it's rare for sentient life to produce civilization (for humans, civilization has emerged independently many times).
