And I will note that the other poster didn't say they beat it, just that there are lots of chips being built. I'd imagine that the cores on the tenstorrent cards would blow all the other arm cores out of the water if you could run the benchmarks on them directly, given the much higher core speeds and memory bandwidth etc.

I'd disagree with that, their existence and decades of a head start mean they've been much more well invested but that's one of the things we're starting to see change, even if it's because of what would appear to be political motivations. We're starting to see a lot of investment into it in China because it looks like it's a reasonable way for tech sovereignty against the x86 monopoly. They've got licenses to some older (not sure about newer) AMD processor designs, I think around Zen2 architecture, for one of their major manufacturing firms but that won't easily let them move forward since they've got to do a lot of work to keep it up with compatibility and performance for newer ISA additions and such. That's one of the reasons they've been subsiding development of LoongSong64 and RISC-V to the point where for a while the larger LoongSong64 cores were illegal to export to some countries[0].

And then you've got a lot of other companies building faster RISC-V cores, for yes more embedded style designs but not the usual traditional embedded designs either. You've got TensTorrent working on AI work loads with real hardware out there that at least for ML stuff can compete on inference if you can get your software to run on it, and then you've got Bolt doing similar for GPU workloads[1]. While both of those are closer to embedded since you're not going to use them as a desktop, they're still making really fast RISC-V cores that could be theoretically turned into a standard RVA23 core by adding the missing extensions to make it work. That's of course not trivial but the entrenchment of x86 and arm aren't quite as daunting as they might have originally seemed.

It's still not as fast as I'd like, simply because I want to start seeing some RISC-V mini pcs get made that are fine for a daily driver office pc to happen.

In particular:

* Cannot use all filter lists simultaneously (rule limits apply)

* No cosmetic filtering in the default mode

* No scriptlet injection by default

* Limited dynamic filtering capabilities

* Requires broader host permissions upfront

But it's definitely still better than no adblockers

I still find it hilariously ironic that the first instance that was widely reported (as far as I know) was it happening to 1984.

EDIT: and then an example for the merge stuff I couldn't find while typing before: https://mergiraf.org/ and HN discussion a few years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42093756

It definitely seems to reinforce the joke backronym of "People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms" for the whole thing given how badly it was all refered to. It's a lot like the whole Clippit/Clippy situation with the Microsoft Office assistants. Originally it was only named Clippit but Clippy got coined by everyone else and even Microsoft ended up giving in and using it in marketing materials not too long after the fact.

I believe some other distros also have UEFI booting/installers setup for PI4 and newer devices because of this, though there's a good chance you'll want some of the other libraries that come with Raspberry PI OS (aka Raspbian) still for some of the hardware specific features like CSI/DSI and some of the GPIO features that might not be fully upstreamed yet.

There's also a port of Proxmox called PXVirt (Formerly Proxmox Port) that exists to use a number of similar ARM systems now as a virtualization host with a nice ui and automation around it.
