Oct 9, 2026, 11:07 PM@mcc @arichtman @Unixbigot yep pretty much, which is where my comment about “maybe someone will figure out how to make them useful” comes from. On the other hand, Apple has been sticking these in their own silicon for 5 years now and approximately nobody uses them yet.

@jpm @arichtman @Unixbigot gonna get my own riscv asics fabbed just so i can have a computer that's bad at simulating neural networks

@mcc @arichtman @Unixbigot brb hitting up TinyTapeout

@jpm @arichtman @Unixbigot surely there's at least one usable riscv in the tinytapeout archives right?

@mcc @arichtman @Unixbigot depends what you mean by “usable” *giggle*
