@fclc Do tenstorrent RISC-V processors support zacas extension? Based on RVA23, it apparently will become mandatory in future profiles.

@never_released Is my understanding of the Apple armv8 versions correct?
A10: compiler states it is 8.1, but it is 8.0 because it lacks lse
A11: v8.2
A12: v8.3
A13: v8.4
A14: v8.4 (missing BTI)
A15: v8.6
A16: v8.6
A17: v8.6
A18: v9.0 (but v8.7 for compiler due to not supporting SVE?)

(though EU devices may get other browser engines). In addition, 32-bit WASM could be faster due to guard pages reducing sandboxing overhead. See https://spidermonkey.dev/blog/2025/01/15/is-memory64-actually-worth-using.html
FreeBSD 14 drops support in November 2028. That's not to say it is the end of 32-bit as a whole. Armv7 is still supported in Ubuntu, FreeBSD (as Tier-2), Debian, and Android. RISCV 32-bit is going to be new but most distros and FreeBSD will only support 64-bit. Same for Android. WASM was 32-bit only but Memory64 was approved and shipping in both FireFox and Chrome. Safari will pose a problem however due to it not supporting it yet and that iOS devices are stuck with WebKit
2025 is basically the death of 32-bit x86. Windows 11 dropped 32-bit edition in 2021. Fedora, Ubuntu and many others dropped it earlier. Debian is another big distro and Trixie, the upcoming release in 2025, drops support for 32-bit computers. FreeBSD 15, coming this year, also drops support for it. As far as security updates are concerned, Windows 10 goes EOL in October but home users can get updates until 2026 and business till 2028. Debian 12 drops support in June 2028 and
qwertyoruiopzHearing the export restrictions on GPUs makes me think of the PowerMac G4, which with its 1GFlop/s processing power was considered a munition.

@halide expensive with 4 cameras and the scaling only gets worse due to square the number of cameras (3x zoom requiring 9, 4x requiring 16, 10x requiring 100 cameras!). Not to mention stitching together the photo as well as storing really really large photos. Or does the idea not work for a different reason?
@halide I have a photography question (as I don't know a great deal about it): My understanding of cameras is that optical zoom is high quality zoom, while digital zoom loses information (and this is about cameras in general not just iPhones). But optical zoom is already zoomed in. Would say 4 cameras (as 2x2 facing the subject) each supporting 2x zoom lens allow you to get a photo that is cropped out but allow up to 2x zoom by high quality digital zoom? Sure it will be more
@jeffvanderstoep Is there a place I can ask for help with dm-verity? I am testing it out in Fedora and it can't seem to correct 10 byte errors that I created with dd even when using FEC
