Cross-builds for GNU toolchain, LLVM, Linux Kernel are going to be much faster on a low end (similar price) x86.

But most packages don't have as solid (or any) cross-build infrastructure as those projects.

I did some benchmarks on RISC-V Linux kernel builds (commit 7503345ac5f5, defconfig) this week. Native on SBCs, cross-build on a couple of x86, docker (qemu-user) on x86.

- 1m45s i9-13900HX cross-compile

- 4m29s Milk-V Pioneer (youtube video from 9 months ago .. close enough)

- 10m10s Ryzen 5 4500U (6 cores, Zen2) laptop cross-compile

- 22m48s RISC-V docker on 24 core i9-13900HX laptop

- 67m35s VisionFive 2 (4x U74)

- 88m4s Lichee Pi 4A (4x C910)

I need a figure for SpacemiT in BPI-F3 / Jupiter / LPi3A / DC-Roma II / MuseBook. I think it'll be more or less the same as the VF2.

My guess is the Milk-V Megrez (EIC7700X @1.8 GHz) might come in around 25 minutes, and this HiFive Premier (same Soc @1.4 GHz) 30 minutes.

So the P550 machines will probably be a little slower than qemu on the i9. Not a lot. But even the VF2 and LPi4A are going to be much faster than qemu on that 6 core Zen2 -- I haven't measured it, but I'm guessing around 130m.

So if you already have that high core count x86, maybe you don't need a P550 machine.

On the other hand it's good to verify on real hardware.

On the gripping hand, with a 16 GB Megrez costing $199 and my i9 costing $1600, if you want a build farm with 5 or 10 or 100 machines then the P550 is looking pretty good.

VF2 (or Mars) is still looking pretty good for price/performance. The problem there is that being limited to 8 GB RAM isn't good. That's not enough for example to do riscv-gnu-toolchain without swapping. That build is fine on my 16 GB LPi4A, but not my VF2.

16 GB or 32 GB on the P550 boards is much more robust.

Your comments repeatedly and blatantly violate the HN guidelines (which you can read here https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) as well as being incredibly vicious and hateful. You seem to be new to HN - this is not Reddit. You shouldn't do this here.

Your hypocrisy and hateful tone also further serve to legitimize nickpsecurity's points - he is the one preaching religion, but in a very kind and respectful tone despite your vitriol and hypocrisy.

You also demonstrate a shocking lack of ability to use logic, and a lack of awareness of what the poster's points or ideology actually are, in addition to the above malice. More than even a tone problem - your comment is just completely and entirely unsuitable for HN and beyond providing zero value provides negative value. Please don't do this here.
What a weird generalization. I've had no issues receiving email from plenty of other domains.

On the flip side, it only took me a few days to fix my friend's business domain so they could send emails to Gmail users.
Interesting question!

As a philosophical matter, by definition that would be memory protection hardware, sure. But the point is that it's at least conceivable that some platforms might have some crude, hardwired memory protection without having a full MMU.

ASML has no competition, you will have an easier time replacing TSMC before doing ASML. Frankly, I think they should do a hybrid approach, have TSMC do some stuff and keep refining their own Fab till they figure it out.
Show HN: I made a Marvel Rivals Characters website
Hey HN,

Recently, I tried out Marvel Rivals and experimented with many different characters and roles. While introducing the game to a friend, he kept asking me which character is the best, which ones are easiest to play, and if there's a tier list for the characters.

I started wondering if many new players might have the same questions when they begin. So, I developed this website where you can find a complete character list, including basic information for each character, such as role, faction, difficulty level, and a brief introduction. It also includes some potential new characters that I’ve spotted on other platforms.

website: https://marvelrivalscharacters.com/

Next, I plan to add tier rankings, character recommendations for beginners, and some guides.

I hope these resources will be useful to others as well. Is there anything else you think I should add to make it more interesting or helpful?

would love your feedback pls

Charles

I don’t think it’s trying to have some magical hook, it just feels better to program than C/C++ for most of their use cases.

That being said, I find the error handling via multiple return values + or_return pretty nifty, and the vendored libraries give it a very “batteries-included” feel.

For example, you can render hardware accelerated graphics and de/serialize JSON without downloading any packages.
I worked around this problem by adding an entry in my password manager with a username of "OAuth: Use Google" or something like that, so I'm informed when I habitually check my browser extension or when I attempt to auto-fill during login.

It's inelegant and could be better, but good enough.

> TECO written by a student 1962-64 had copy and paste

What an editor can do is not the same as what a system can support across processes, pedantry regarding the use of "conceived" in the article aside.
It's always nice to see things on the internet with which I agree unequivocally.
Note that my original comment above was "reasonably safe" and not "perfectly memory safe". You can formally prove something with a lot of effort, but you can also come reasonably close for practical purposes with a lot less effort and more commonly available tools.

You are right that "arbitrary C" is not safe while safe Rust is safe, but this is mostly begging the question. The question is what can you do with the language depending on your requirements. If you need safe C this doable with enough effort, if you need reasonably safe C this is even practical in most projects, and all this should be compared to Rust as used in a similar situation which very well may include use of unsafe Rust or C libraries which may also limit the safety.
Cold emailing isn't very popular here, and in general I don't know anyone who likes receiving cold email. I don't think the problem is cold emailing, but the way it's done. Most cold email is irrelevant and not helpful.

Here's an example taken from this handbook:

> Hey Matt —-

> Friend of mine told me about Za-zu last week. Congrats on the recent raise.

> Random, but noticed you've got a few jobs open for SDRs.

> Reason I'm reaching out is I run a cold outbound agency. We can send at 17x the volume of a typical SDR, and our emails are usually twice as effective. Have generated $1B in pipeline for companies like Angellist.

> Worth a chat this week?

> - Person Who Writes Better Emails

I actually get emails like these all the time and I mark them as spam. Because they're spam.

Instead of sending me this email, imagine instead I received some actual leads from this agency in the first email. Like just 3 companies that are a very qualified match:

> Hey Matt —-

> Friend of mine told me about Za-zu last week. Congrats on the recent raise.

> Random, but noticed you've got a few jobs open for SDRs.

> Here's 3 qualified leads you might be interested in:

> Company 1 and why it's qualified

> Company 2 and why it's qualified

> Company 3 and why it's qualified

> Those leads have expressed interest in your service. I run a cold outbound agency. Have generated $1B in pipeline for companies like Angellist. Worth a chat this week?

Now that's helpful. I actually know this company could provide some value. Maybe I'll actually respond because I want some more.

Being relevant and very helpful is really hard to do at scale. You have to actually do some work to learn about the company, the person, and provide something tangible that's valuable. For some products/services, it might be possible to do at scale. Until then, it's really just spam by a different name.
Congratulations, I almost never downvote anything on HN. You managed!

> During the crypto bust of 2022-23, which coincided with a spike in interest rates, three banks with ties to the crypto industry failed: Silvergate, Silicon Valley, and Signature

This is disingenuous, at least Silicon Valley collapsed due to overreliance on bonds, whose prices fell as interest rates rose. Nothing to do with crypto.

Linux kernel 6.10 is EOL.

Non-LTS kernels very frequently go EOL before OpenZFS supports them, or there is only a very brief window that there is support for a non-EOL kernel.

In practice, it's hard to use a non-LTS kernel with openzfs for any significant duration.
In the USA, over-the-air stations may require cable operators to carry their channel at no charge (to the operator) or they may negotiate a charge to the operator, which the operator may refuse. The major stations have chosen the latter. Part of a cable TV bill pays for this (though the stations would day they’re just getting their fair share of the high cable bill.)

> Compiler devs never did anything "unreasonable", they didn't sit down and go "mwahahaha we can exploit the heck out of UB to break everything!!!!"

Many compiler devs are on record gleefully responding to bug reports with statements on the lines of "your code has undefined behaviour according to the standard, we can do what we like with it, if you don't like it write better code". Less so in recent years as they've realised this was a bad idea or at least a bad look, but in the '00s it was a normal part of the culture.
Ah I see! If your use case was read-only you might be able to cut out some of the binary size, but it sounds like Web SQL would've been what you need unfortunately
Well yea but as far as I know these companies know your identity but the website only know you as a number shown in statistics.

So if this thing isn't a trap from big tech you are fine.
> Ruby seams to only be synonymous with Ruby on Rails.

Seems to be... But it can be used for anything Python is. There's ML libraries, bindings to stuff like Torch, all the math-y stuff like Python, all sorts of stuff. Also it's a great language to just roll your own scripts, programs, etc... Then there's also mruby, which can be embedded like Lua...
My Nokia 3310 could do that. This actually answers the call and asks the caller what they want, it then rings if the call seems legit.
They do for larger planes; but commuter jets and most narrow bodies don’t have enough space in the belly for that.
Very cool, makes sense. Totally, the real challenge in this space is all the weird corner cases.
Not high-level.. Portable. Portable layer above assembler/arch.

NULL doesn't exist in assembler, and in C, NULL is only a defined as a macro. It's not something built-in.

C doesn't have any problems adding 4 to NULL nor subtracting NULL from NULL.
For how much these creators get paid per fan per month, does one really expect anything else? It’s not hard to imagine that many of them would be paid less than minimum wage if they actually responded to all their messages. But that much isn’t really that much different from the rest of the creator / gig economy.
Almost no chance these are not US military.

The drones have been appearing very consistently, if there were the slightest concern of foreign military drones, then military jets would have been scrambled to intercept - there have been no such reports.
Oh wow that’s not good, thank you so much for pointing that out!
> the kids wouldn't have even been able to download the app, which is explicitly marked as 17+

The kid is 17.
What actually happened in Ukraine was that the president went back on his promise to try to work towards join the EU (possibly due to threats from Putin) and some young Ukranians organized a protest on social media because they saw the EU as the only hope for a bright Ukrainan future (if you want to know why just look at the economy and corruption levels in former communist EU countries compared to Ukraine) and the President as going back on his word and throwing it away. Instead of considering their points or even trying to ignore them he tried to suppress the protests with extreme violence and ridiculous anti protest laws people thought might lead to dictatorship like in neighboring Russia or Belarus. The Ukranian people didn't like this and the protests grew and grew and grew. The EU and US encouraged the political opposition to make a compromise with the President even if it was unsatisfactory. But then the police who has been fighting the protesters got cold feet that the president would throw them under the bus in the deal, so they disappeared and the President decided to do the same. Since he abandoned his country and his post the legislature had no choice but to remove him from office including many from his own party. A couple of US politicians voiced support for the people protesting for their rights against a corrupt and increasingly authorian leader, I see why they did it but how is that relevant to any of this?

Also Poroshenko wasn't in any way installed or a puppet, he was elected by Ukranians in an election that was fair and free followed by another fair and free election which he lost in a landslide. That's democracy.

Poroshenko may have not been the best leader but he was tons better then Yanukovych and it was pretty hard to run Ukraine even before Russia invaded.

There is now an “HD” button when you select photos. By default this is disabled but just make sure you select it and it’s way better. Might be a new feature, I only learned about it last week or two.

Probably because the incoming administration actually has credible possibility of firing public servants who just steal and waste tax dollars.

For once in the modern(?) history of the Republican party, the incoming administration is hellbent on pursuing one of the party's core values: Small government. You bet public servants who want to keep enjoying the nectar will frantically try to make themselves look useful.
ok that is interesting but it seems colored by the modern point of view, with Mach and *nix and all that.. At that time, the trajectory of "corporate industrial messaging OS with roles and security features" was very far away from the Apple Macintosh. The Apple Macintosh computer popularized and marketed software that was running for the user of that computer, first. Education is one word and creatives is another word, but those two words represent unexplored and very compelling topics for graphical user interface software. That is not at all what was going on with those network computers with security. So much core software has shipped and integrated since then, available via network installs or on web pages, it might be challenging to think about the product definitions in the 1980s as they were at the time.
Installing a huge hazard in the road is optional too, though. If [insert city here] had saved money and used a bus instead of a street car, all of the problems that come from having a rail in the road would have been avoided.

For heavy rail, they don't often run in the road, parallel with the road, in the lane of travel. And when they do, it's usually in an industrial area that people aren't walking and cycling through.

This is a bunch of hand-wringing. If the AI reply is what I would have said anyways; awesome! Finding thumbnails is hard, but if AI comes up with a good one? Fantastic!

None of your interactions except the ones with your friends and family are authentic, and they never were. It's a bit silly to get annoyed over OnlyFans models or some mega YouTube celebrity using AI because you're losing out on "authentic human interaction" - you only mattered to them insofar as you provided them with money to begin with.
Fort Dix, which is an airforce base, is in New Jersey. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was them. There was an incident some years ago when a very strange supersonic noise blasted out from that area and the government was very quiet about it.

How to Build a Useful AI Product
Stadia was a failure from the start. Microsoft and Nvidia are also laser-focused on this game streaming business, but I seriously doubt it will pan out ever. At least not in a profitable sense. In that regard, I think Google planned to be first-to-market, failed early, and killed their darling before anyone got a chance to love it.

The IMs post-Hangouts are less explainable, but I do empathize with Google for wanting to find some form of SMS replacement standard. The RCS we have today is flawed and was rushed out of the door just to have a serious option for the DOJ to endorse. This is an area where I believe the United States government has been negligent in allowing competing OEMs to refuse cooperation in creating an SMS successor. I agree it's silly, and it needs to stop eventually.
I think most logical people watching these events have to admit there might be something more to it. Indeed.

What 'commercially available' aircraft can operate for at least 6 - 7 hours, sized up to 6 feet, not always detectable by FLIR, evade detection by helicopters, don't always use lights, have a range of at least 15 miles, are not obeying FAA line of sight regulations for night flights (all per the statewide briefing provided to NJ legislators yesterday: https://x.com/DawnFantasia_NJ/status/1866896860578717994) , and are assessed by the Pentagon yesterday (https://www.youtube.com/live/gSIKXMt4qHk?si=HafZLJzX8lUqQvrd...) to not originate in the US or any other nation?

Also, videos of the 'drones' show them hovering for long periods, so they're not conventional fixed wing craft. I think local officials should put together some investigative task forces using local scientists, engineers and commercial providers that have access to good electronic intelligence surveillance capabilities and get more data so we can see more and know more about this.

Yeah it's crazy how little modern tech has made it to different niches. I was looking into metal detecting a few years ago, and there is basically no technology to any of them, even the expensive ones. You'd assume they'd have fancy android powered devices with gps and stuff, but no it's the same basic circuitry they've had for decades.

Almost totally OT, but since this is fundamentally about QEMU ...

I had a backup of the entire DB folder and tried to get MySQL/MariaDB to read it. Tried a couple of different things. Failure.

Then ... grab Ubuntu 14.04 ISO ... type virt-manager in a terminal ... less than 15 minutes later I'm in the MySQL shell running queries on the old DB.
