I expected more tongue in cheek comments... Oh.

From ERCOT's stats- wind is complimentary. But, I can't find any hard data on intraday/hourly power usage for AI it seems reasonable to assume that night time use will be lower though.

And so it doesn't have to be looked up: Wind seems to peak at dawn/dusk when solar is not delivery much power, solar peaks in line with air-conditioning load, and there's a miniscule amount of grid scale battery to hold up the grid during a short gap between solar and wind. The batteries are recharged with solar. At least that was the pattern this summer- I need to check now that it's winter.

Dear Lord... I'd not picked up on this- if true (I need to validate it for myself).

I forgot Dr. Oz, who is in charge of Health and Human Services.

Lots of articles about this; here's a random one: https://deadline.com/gallery/fox-news-personalities-trump-wh...

Secretary of HHS is RFk Jr, oz is in charge of Medicare and Medicaid

Whoops, you're right. Too many clowns in this circus.

I'm sorry but the vaccine-skeptic RFKjr is US Health Secretary?

Welcome to 2025

You mean the Linux distro that exists because it needs to contain broadcom drivers/blobs/etc that are under NDA?

No, no it isn't.

I will never forget the hubub around the discovery that everything you typed on android went to a root shell. "What should I do?"... "reboot" phone reboots

Yes, the gravatons are the AWS arm architecture instances

Thanks, so "standard" ARM we can launch VMs with? I wasn't sure if this was some sort of proprietary ARM chip use for specialized work.

As far as I'm aware- if it's called an ARM CPU it's either the v7 or v8 instruction set with the possibility of extra instructions (changes to ARM die) or a tightly integrated coprocessor (via AXI bus, adjacent to the ARM silicon on the same substrate).

There are different Coretex series that optimize for different things- A and X for applications (phones, cloud compute, SBCs, desktops and laptops), M for microcontrollers, and R for realtime.

This doesn't apply if the company has an ARM founder and/or architecture license. (I think that's what they're called) Eg- Apple and their M series SOCs are not Coretex cores, but share the base instruction set- but only if Apple wants it to.

Yup, Amazon supports the 6.11? kernel on aarch64. Most toolchains if you target linux aarch64 static they, they will produce executables that will run on Amazon Linux aarch64 and Android, set-top boxes with 64-bit chips and Linux 3+ it's surprising how many devices a static aarch64 ELF will run on.

Awesome, thanks for this. Off to build new Ansible deployment scripts for aarch64!

Yes, think AMD vs Intel. Same x86 target but built differently under the hood with potential to optimize for certain uses over others.

The house takes their cut whether or not an individual bet wins.

15 guns, and what do I get? [...] Sold my soul to the company habitat.

I think you haven't gone far enough. Most of this thread is rampant ignorance and propaganda influenced bandwagoning.

1) It's from a company known for dev boards and SoCs- not consumer products.

2) The code is available on GitHub (nice!)

3) SiSpeed actively contributes to the mainline linux kernel for RISC-V in general as well as their SoCs.

4) Security in Embedded Applications is just... Bad. Amercian, Chinese, European, Russian, Indian- it doesn't matter.

Also what do you really expect for 30€ or 60€ price point? On relatively low volume product. It even doing what is promised is already a good start to me. And that probably tells their priorities. Start from some already working image with wide support for features. And then add the features that are needed in specific use case. And then ship it.
