How would that work legally? I’m pretty sure you can’t prevent someone from having to drag them to court with a tribunal, because the party you want to compel to do something has the right to a trial. If apple patents something you think you invented and published first, and you go to the tribunal, but apple says „no, I want a court order“, what is supposed to happen? I don’t think you can just remove the right to a trial (but I’m not a lawyer, so maybe that’s possible?).
To reiterate the GPs point, in case anyone didn't get it: DDR4-3200 CL16 is equivalent to DDR5-6000 CL30 or DDR5-6400 CL32 in terms of latency. Divide the frequency by the CAS latency and you get the same number for all of those. It was the same situation going from DDR3 to 4. There's some wiggle room if you run above-spec voltages (and depending on the quality of the chips, etc.) but things have stayed roughly where they are latency-wise, gen-to-gen.

AI Personal Assistant for VCs
We built whats.now an AI personal assistant for venture capitalists that manages their schedule and deals with the clutter. We are taking a top-down approach by giving the assistant acess to your tools. After working in VC, I saw everyone had a full calendar and endless tasks. We started building this 2 weeks ago and launched on product hunt today, if you are a VC, give it a try and let us know your feedback. We are iterating!
Also if you'd like give us a shout on product hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/whats-now

What exact scenario are you envisioning here? Germany bans X (for example), but people smuggle Starlink terminals to continue reading it and advertisers continue advertising to them illegally by paying with crypto? Sounds extremely unrealistic to me TBH.
First you claimed that they "have very little in common", and now merely that it "is different"... although in the next sentence you go back to "clearly nothing like"?? You seem quite undecided about what you actually want to say.

They're obviously "different", but there's plenty of reasons to believe that they have a lot in common, so going against established science should require some citations.

Phags are really promising in case of antibiotics-resistant bacterias. However I wonder how long does it take to find out the bacteria is resitant, breed new phages and apply them.

It's because from my experience doctors usually give me antibiotics even BEFORE they find out what bacteria I have. "Oh you have pneumonia, better give you clavulanic acid". Next time they provide me with something else. When I asked "should we make a bacterial culture" - they say "it will take so much time, better take the antibiotics now".

For a sick person after antibiotics therapy and after culture test results, those days/weeks to raise another culture of phages might be deadly.
> Everyone is switching to Samsung or MediaTek processors?

Why not? MediaTek is very competitive these days.

It would certainly perform better than a RISC-V decoder slapped onto a core designed for ARM having to run emulation for games (which is pretty much the main reason why you need a lot of performance on your phones).

Adopting RISC-V is also a risk for the phone producers like Samsung. How much of their internal tooling (e.g. diagnostics, build pipelines, testing infrastructure) are built for ARM? How much will performance suffer, and how much will customers care? Why take that risk (in the short/medium term) instead of just using their own CPUs (they did it in some generations) or use MediaTek (many producers have experience with them already)?

Phone producers will be happy to jump to RISC-V over the long term given the right incentives, but I seriously doubt they will be eager to transition quickly. All risks, no benefits.
If you want the code to stay free you better add a free software license, that's what these licenses are made for, to preserve the freedom of the code. Otherwise others can take your code and make it propietary and add their propietary license to it.
Right, in the x86 example there are very few optional instructions and there aren't new instructions (at least of consequence) on the horizon. So you can compile with switches if you really want I guess. I think ARM is a better example of things being a mess where people compile for older/core instructions and new instructions are underutilized. I can never remember the whole ARM thing with all the code sequences.. it's highly confusing

> Subsidy is saying: you know you can only compete with China if you pay $5 an hour, so pay $10 and we will pay the rest because having a steel manufacturing industry is important to the government

I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm saying everyone who has tried something like this wound up with a sclerotic industry. At a certain point, you wind up with the subsidy grantor deciding who can and cannot participate in the industry. Those already in don't want competition. The rest follows quite simply. (Moreover, your export market gets constrained because foreign countries will overcorrect undoing your subsidy with tariffs.)

We do this sort of thing in America. It's why we have booming shipbuilding and steelmaking industries.

> It also is blatantly unfair. Why enforce a minimum wage for legal workers, when illegal workers will ignore it?

Hm. That suggests an idea. A higher minimum wage for illegal workers.

Employers get a choice. Verify immigration status with E-Verify/RealID, and pay at least minimum wage. Or don't, and pay at least twice the minimum wage.

Offer sizable rewards for reporting wage theft. 3X penalty at least. Jail if the total stolen passes the felony threshold.

Now that would stop illegal aliens from taking low-end jobs in the US.
Some of those people might be able to get a lower paid job closer to home, others might be able to move closer to work.

> find the cure for cancer written down in some 1000-year-old book somewhere.

While you're most likely right about the cure for cancer, I did want to note that this is kind of how the cure for malaria was found (artemisinin). Tu Youyou who won the nobel prize systematically investigated Traditional Chinese Medecine remedies until she came across one that was effective. That particular remedy was described in a 1600 years old text The Handbook of Prescriptions for Emergency Treatments, written in 340 by Ge Hong.

Note: before anyone think that the fact that a remedy described in traditional Chinese texts mean that TCM is reliable and a viable alternative in all text, she screened over 2,000 traditional Chinese recipes and made 380 herbal extracts, from some 200 herbs which were tested on mice. So, yes one of the remedy were successful but the success rate of TCM was not particularly high :)
They can roll their sleeves up and do the small amount of work that they tried to persuade everyone else was not necessary. And I'm sure they will have done so.

It's not that hard to design a wide decoder that can decode mixed 2-byte and 4-byte instructions from a buffer of 32 or 64 bytes in a clock cycle. I've come up with the basic schema for it and written about it here and on Reddit a number of times. Yeah, it's a little harder than for pure fixed-width Arm64, but it is massively massively easier than for amd64.

Not that anyone is going that wide at the moment. SiFive's P870 fetched 36 bytes/cycle from L1 icache, but decodes a maximum of 6 instructions from it. Ventana's Veyron v2 decodes 16 bytes per clock cycle into 4-8 instructions (average about 6 on random code).
Its always this way. Long ago I used to work on HR systems of Large Corp. They used to talk about McDonaldization of jobs. And that was almost 20-25 years back.

Variety is required to cope with Change and survive Change. But large orgs learnt long ago to avoid getting involved anything that changes too fast.

As a result most of their employee resemble employees of McDonalds. Even Steve Jobs can die but the show goes on. Thats by design.

To handle Change and in anything too unpredictable and chaotic the strategy of Large orgs has always been to either offload that to Govt or to use smaller firms. And smaller firms survive based on the Networks of their founders. Who you know and how you get along with them makes a bigger diff than whats on the resume.

Neural Network Quine (Attempt)
A couple of my early ones that come to mind:

A program to transform several QBasic PLAY strings into a single longer string using arppeggio to imitate harmony. I wanted to see how well it would work, and transcribed a few songs worth of sheet music into the program. Turns out, it works quite well.

A program to generate some random "landscape", do a couple passes of blur on the image, then render it as a pseudo-3d topographical map. That covered coming up with a blurring algorithm, drawing the map top-down so that I wasn't overwriting the source data, EGA palette manipulation, some ideas of procedurally-generated content.
i get weird ideas sometimes that I have to chase down. I had a thing where I’d render images in webGL and then convert the pixels to audio. but it got monotonous only making music with the builtin GL functions like sine and cosine, so I started converting audio waveforms into images so I could draw them into the canvas so I could hear them!

People also seem to forget that everything needs to be ported. If you're an Android manufacturer, you're not going to stop shipping phones, waiting for the Android RISC-V to catch-up to ARM, or for RISC-V to get the speed and features of current ARM CPUs. You're going to buy ARM processors from another vendor.

The Windows ARM port is going to take even longer, I doubt that Microsoft has that working at anything beyond research stage, if that.

Getting the RISC-V ecosystem up to par with ARM is going to take years.

If you want to spin this in RISC-Vs favor, then yes, forcing a company like Qualcomm to switch would speed things up, but it might also give them a bit of a stranglehold on the platform, in the sense that they'd be the dominant platform, with all of their own customisations.

Yes, latency has stayed fairly constant going back at least as far as DDR3. It was nudged downward a little from DDR2 to 3, with higher clocks bringing finer grained timings, but I would say any improvement in later generations is pretty negligible in nanosecond terms.

I used to pirate a lot of random music in early 00’s and went through a Latin phase. Downloaded one album by Fabiana Cantilo full of covers by what seemed to be other Argentine artists and some names are Soda Stereo and Andres Calamaro.

They seem to have a lot of what kids today would call bangers.

Some of my favorite Argentine songs: Donde Manda Marinero, En La Ciudad De la Furia. Fabiana’s album that I torrented back in the day happens to be covers of the famous songs and I like a lot of them too

I only finished college on the fifth attempt, so I had a number of incidents of dropping out.

On my second attempt, I was enrolled in community college, in only two classes: math and an Advanced C Programming course. I intensely disliked the math course, mostly because all the students seemed either apathetic, cheating, or both.

Anyway, the Advanced C course was fun: I already had some intermediate C skills by that time (1991 or so), and so I was doing great. The final project for us was to design and write an ASCII to EBCDIC converter. By this time, of course, we had no practical use for documents in EBCDIC, but it was a fairly straightforward programming problem.

I decided to be a hotshot, and in addition to the normal program I was turning in, I wrote an Obfuscated C version. I did enlist outside help by another expert I knew online. We did some really "sick and twisted" things to compress the code down, and make it really confusing. It was the most fun I had in a programming class.

I'll always remember that episode, and I wish I still had a copy of the code around, to keep in my portfolio!
Yeah, it's this tribal bandwagon mentality. People think that having strong opinions is a sign of intelligence, and it's quite safe to just adopt what other apparently smart people agree on. There's a lot of it in the tech world - PHP bad, bash good, MySQL bad, Postgres good. I adopted most of these views when I was young (~15 years ago) because older, more experienced people were saying those things.

Energy density, weight, cost, and discharge rate.
The transition to RISC-V depends entirely on how much of the cpu core susbstem is from ARM. The ISA itself is one part, there are branch predictors, l1,l2 and 3 caches, MMUs, virtualization, vector extensions, the pipeline architecture, etc etc. So moving away from ARM means they need performant replacements for all that.

I'm sure there are folks like SiFive that have much of this, but how is it competitively I don't know, and how the next snapdragon would compete if even one of those areas is lacking... Interesting times.

This is precisely one of the issues I predict we'll face with our cluster as we're ramping up OTEL data and it's being sent to a small cluster, and I'm deathly afraid that it will continue sending to the every shard in equal measure without moving around existing data. I can not find any good method of redistributing the load other than "use the third party backup program and pray it doesn't shit the bed".
