Drivers run in supervisor mode as part of Linux, unfortunately.

LLMs gave that one last push: Linux is not sustainable.

We need to start looking at seL4 as the base, instead.

RISC-V is inevitable.

RISC-V is rapidly growing the strongest ecosystem.

However, if on LineageOS, which mind you is the only way to get updated (and thus safer) android versions in many devices, they simply block you.

Awful.

I run a 9800x3d with 96GB ECC (2x 48GB DDR5-5800).

It was a pain to select a compatible board and source the RAM but glad I did, in June 2024... the RAM prices went up immediately after.

non-ECC should be a kernel taint in Linux. Newer versions of Windows (12?) should also refuse to boot without ECC. It should be mandatory in DDR6. The insanity must end.

On 32-bit (and thats where density matters) it's sill worse then Thumb even with compression extension.

Thumb is really good, but this is no longer true as of late 2021, when bitmanip and the code reduction extensions landed.

RISC-V is currently the most dense 64bit ISA, as well as the most dense 32bit ISA.

trying fix the code density issue with billions of extensions

Not sure what you're on about.

By the time the spec was first ratified (2019), RV64GC was already the densest 64bit ISA, and it's not even close.

and it's basically a joke.

Look up the fab process node and die area of that chip, and think again.

Are there any RISC-V "machines"? that one can use to do something useful or fun with that someone here could recommend?

Multiple boards based on the RVA23 spacemiT K3 are shipping as of recently.

They are usefully performant. Comfortable webbrowsing and playing 4K youtube without issues sort of fast.

With or without DRM?

It's about the actual inquiry and report[0][1].

A terrorist likely has easier access to the former, and it suffices.

Do not just link some Wikipedia article.

Express your point.

Absolutely.

Won't anyone think of the children?

I am not aware of any microkernel actually competitive with seL4, open or else.

When people can simply get away with not paying rent, what sort of sucker would pay rent?

seL4[0] being the formally-proven modern representative.

Still vastly prefer mpv[0].

xlibre is cool AF.

Already more work over a year than Xorg's X11 over a decade.

50ft

I only have two feet, so if I am to get there, I must use a vehicle.

Sure. So what? Can we not draw these either?

I am sick of seeing so many guardrails and the treatment of people as cattle.

Any company building this kind of tech should have a separate shell headquarters on some low regulation island country

That would seem to me as grounds for piercing the corporate veil and holding the people behind it directly responsible.

High treason or some similar charge. Capital punishment not out of consideration.

Sure, the expectation was never for 68k, which has no cache, to go very far.

68030 is relatively common and could do it, if the expected level of lua performance is reasonable.

Good. I hope you manage to have it run at full speed on a non-ultrabeefed Amiga.

68080

"real Amiga hardware"

No.

modern CPU architectures like RISC-V provide no overflow traps

Irrelevant. Simplicity here is better than complexity.

Unless you're handwriting assembly, this is a compiler's job.

It is safe to assume that at least one actual Arch developer was compromised by this.

The followup attack on Arch itself is not going to be pretty.

Applaud the preservation.

tl;dr: FAFO

RISC-V is inevitable

RISC-V is inevitable

And its time certainly "starts" now.

RISC-V is rapidly growing the strongest ecosystem.

RISC-V is still too slow

The list of purposes for which this is true is shrinking.

That new SpacemiT K3 chip with RVA23 compatibility that started shipping last month is certainly impressive.
