“Capitalism breeds innovation.”
Also capitalism:
lemmings blaming everything on capitalism
also lemmings: scrolling on their apple iphone that also had a gui decades ahead of its time in the 80s
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a profile with a comment history this bad. Ever stop to ask yourself why you have such unpopular opinions?
I doubt it would’ve won anyway. There were loads of OS’s at that time, most not having the issue of the US government intervening, and none of them won either.
Had the japenese not been spooked by the sugestion it waa a threat(which was cleared up as not being one) it totally could have been adopted nationwide, as it was ready to deploy to their schools.
And today we have BSD as the basis of Apples OS.
Microsoft has gone from say 85% market share down to the 60s now I think.
Maybe we will see a day MS loses to Linux since that hit 10% use last month, and has over 15% use in India.
MS certainly is not helping themselves win lately.
Could have? Maybe. Likely would have? No.
Based on what?
Are you assuming a threshold moment, would happen the same under different circumstances?
Burden of proof bro. I’m not the one claiming that it likely would have.
But changing events changes outcomes. They were poised to deploy in schools. That is the number one way to get user adoption for life.
Something similar happened to Slovene Iskra Triglav computer which was quite advanced for the time (capable of running three different CPUs) but then caught in between US-Soviet cold war/embargo while trying to sell them to Soviet Union.
Three CPUs with different architectures on one device sounds crazy. That’s amazing.
PS3 comes to mind
Though in embedded, thats fairly normal.
I’ve got a $1 linux embedded SoC that has a 64 bit riscv core, a 32 bit riscv core for running realtime stuff and a low power embedded 6502 on it too because why not.
Haha look at this dumbass, he thinks being stupid is aspirational.
Low effort. Try harder.
Hope he keeps going, I want to see how many he has…
Cool, which SoC?
SG2002/SG2000 and the CV1800B chips by MilkV
OSX (now MacOS) was built and running on PowerPC and Intel for years before Intel Macs were released. I assume the same was true before they released the Apple silicon chips.
Yeah but they weren’t running both in the same device at the same time.
PPC -> Intel they just recompiled their OS and fixed it up for the x86 platform, then the same for Intel -> ARM
They did not have a laptop with an x86 processor and a PPC at the same time… though there are some hillariously bespoke accellerator cards from back in the day to do all sorts of strange things.
That said, laptops are full of microcontrollers with firmware, lots of those will be atmega, st32, 6502 and the like. Things like a WLAN or WAN card will be a little ARM soc of some flavour.
So it really depends on where you draw the line. If its executing the main workload, I’d say thats the CPU, everything else is a microcontroller enabling it to do that
Yeah, RP2350 in Raspberry Pi Pico 2 also has 2 ARM cores and 2 RISC-V cores.
Which reminds me, I purchased one a month ago to play around with as it has good documentation, yet I haven’t used it once so far.
Its actually not seperate cores, they’re RISCV or ARM, based on a switch. MilkV does that too with one of its chips. They’re mostly the same architecturally, theres something like 10% that gets enabled/disabled with each ISA selection.
But you can still run both at once. RP2350 datasheet
From section 3.9 Arm/RISC-V architecture switching:
There are two processor sockets on RP2350, referred to as core 0 and core 1 throughout this document. Each socket can be occupied either by a Cortex-M33 processor (implementing the Armv8-M Main architecture, plus extensions) or by a Hazard3 processor (implementing the RV32IMAC architecture, plus extensions).
From section 3.9.2. Mixed architecture combinations:
The
ARCHSELregister has one bit for each processor socket, so it is possible to request mixed combinations of Arm and RISC-V processors: either Arm core 0 and RISC-V core 1, or RISC-V core 0 and Arm core 1.Practical applications for this are limited, since this requires two separate program images. The two cores interoperate normally, including shared exclusives via the global monitor: a shared variable can be safely, concurrently accessed by an Arm processor performing
ldrex,strexinstructions and a RISC-V processor performingamoadd.winstructions, for exampleMy point it isn’t 2x arm and 2x riscv. They recycle most of the silicon used.
And once upon a time there were more than three PC graphics card makers. The paranoid schizo US really fucked up scientific and technological progress.
have you heard of Macintosh? you’ve heard of Mac’s right.
little company called Apple? lol sheeeesh
Apple only makes garbage
Once again fuck America
I’d say US/USians, as America is more than just the US. America is composed of more countries like Canada, Mexico, Brazil…
You can downvote me all you want, it doesn’t change anything.
getting mass downvoted for caring about accuracy because it doesn’t fit the European mindset… what a time to be alive.
