  1. Not really, I should have acknowledged it, to be sure. I am just saying a lot of people put a lot of faith into geohot's musings/side projects/whathaveyou, that doesn't pay off.
  2. I mostly think of when geohot wanted to make his own RISC-V core and cranked out some basic verilog. It was incomplete and barely commented, and never touched again. I suspect we are going to get a few blog posts of analysis and then he moves on to something else
  3. It’s been around since at least occam, maybe longer
  4. Not just Chinese companies, Ti has done this forever with their Sitara SoCs. This is the chip in the beaglebone. The chip includes two PRUs which are microcontrollers that run at 200mhz and share memory with the rest of the system.

    TIs latest version of it (AM625x) has four A53 cores, one PRU, and a Cortex M4F. It is similar in performance to the Qualcomm chip in my own benchmarks

  5. Help me understand your point better. How do you want the services to work? Is there some standard you are advocating for, or for them to mimic existing services, or what?
  6. I meant >= he currently seems to think that sex with someone 14 is morally acceptable. He now believes that sex with a 12 year old isn’t. He doesn’t understand that there is a reason we say minors cannot legally consent to major things like contracts and sex.
  7. The problem is that better is not an abstract measure. It is better at what, for what purpose, in what context? I like fossil in the abstract, but it isn’t integrated well into any of my tools; there is only one hosting service I know of; and they took away the wysiwyg option from the build in wiki (a preference of mine). So it isn’t better for me

    Your better will be measured against different criteria, etc.

  8. Oof embarrassed I didn't proofread that, but I was saying "That is what the man is saying in that statement".

    Stallman is like Humpty Dumpty (""When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less") and that masks some of his terrible beliefs. Also in his clarification (I refuse to call that an apology) why aren't we questioning why he needed to be told that sex with minors is bad? Why did he lack the skills to look up anything about consent and child development before saying that he though sex with >= 13 year olds was ok?

  9. If you look up his anti-glossary, the definition of child he uses is:

    > Children: Humans up to age 12 or 13 are children. After that, they become adolescents or teenagers. Let's resist the practice of infantilizing teenagers, by not calling them "children".

    Older than 13 is not a child. Man is using that statement. Even if you want to argue that he didn’t really mean it like that, which I disagree with, opponents would have a field day with that to discredit him

  10. Do we need people to stand up and push back? Yes. Stallman? I would rather not. The man doesn’t hold influence outside of some of our community, and is toxic because of things he has said and done to the outside world. Just look up his definition of “child” and read that in context to his statement about sex and he is discredited to most people
  11. That is just the binaries, unless I am very much mistaken. I was (trying to) refer to the sources as well
  12. I hope one day the source for Whitesmiths unix clone Idris gets released. IIRC it was the first unix clone, and it would just be nice to have that preserved for history
  13. Correction I meant Kotlin Native, my bad
  14. I just wish they would finaly fix KMP on Linux aarch64. It's been years now
  15. Anyone could pay to have an unlisted number, it wasn’t crazy expensive in the US at least
  16. 100% I am the guy who wrote that comment. Sometimes there are benefits to getting older ;)
