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

Assassination attempts on Russia’s economy have been similarly meow-popcorn. 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 -3 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

[-] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Are there even any advantages to it over ARM?

[-] mp3@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.

[-] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] erwan@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago

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 8 points 2 weeks ago

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 3 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago

You didn't say it's fully open-source so RISC-V is better no matter how "open" ARM is

[-] erwan@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

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.
