Live now!

@conor What plugins do you use? I use nvim but I feel like I'm too vanilla. I've been meaning to do something a bit more fancy.

@monsieuricon 'ChaosEsque Team' has been sending rude spam. Is it possible to block them on the kernel.org lists?

@monsieuricon Thanks for dealing with that. I love b4 and lore!

Live now! Join @crowdsupply @helenleigh for a conversation with Tim Ansell (@mithro) about wafer.space, a new way for chip designers to easily turn a design into real, working chips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEOmnN8IAjs

@gregkh Great benchmark! Very interesting to see all your different machines. I did like what I saw of the Framework 13 at KR. 3:2 make so much more sense! I had been thinking earlier this year about getting the Framework 12 but it good to your opinion that it not quite fast enough.

"register windows. It's like extended memory, but for your registers!"

""WE ARE NOT PREEMPTIVELY SUPPORTING BIG-ENDIAN ON RISC-V""

Linus send that to #LKML a few hours ago, after somebody asked if some of the big-endian work will make it into #Linux 6.18.

For the full thread, see: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-%3DwgYcOiFvsJzFb%2BHfB4n6Wj6zM5H5EghUMfpXSCzyQVSfA@mail.gmail.com/t/#mce138059dc56014643bbda330810183031ef5c06

There he calls the reasons documented on riscv.org as "craziness" and insane:

""In other words, it is suggesting that RISC-V add a big-endian mode due to

(a) internet protocols - where byte swapping is not an issue

(b) using "some RISC-V implementations don't do the existing Zbb extension" as an excuse

This is plain insanity. First off, even if byte swapping was a real cost for networking - it's not, the real costs tend to be all in memory subsystems - just implement the damn Zbb extension.""

That's from https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-%3DwgYcOiFvsJzFb%2BHfB4n6Wj6zM5H5EghUMfpXSCzyQVSfA@mail.gmail.com/t/#m2fcaa49a910fec7475d313f01abfc861bd588ad5

@mithro spoke about his new company wafer.space on the Amp Hour podcast. wafer.space will fab designs on Global Foundries 180nm (GF180MCU)

The photo/artwork is amazing

It's almost October which means it's almost Open Hardware Month! We are so excited for another OHM with all kinds of exciting events all over the world. We'll be running another membership livestream event running 12 hours and featuring OSHW creators who do incredible work. Mark your calendars and get excited because there's going to be really amazing speakers and perhaps even some sloths! How are you celebrating Open Hardware Month?
