Fwd: [coreboot] Re: Deprecation of the Intel Quark SoC

here's my reply, as things are left atm. i'm thinking some of blockchain collaboration to reduce paranoia. previously, the thread seemed broken into factions, where a pair of people were arguing ferventlty and illogically to remove quark from the tree. they have reasonable points but don't back them up with logic, rather mismatching the logic. with this further disconnection one starts imagining the list breaking into fake lists where participants are surrounded by fake peers who treat them crummily. that's what blockchains and a handful of other p2p techs are designed to avoid ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Karl Semich <0xloem(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Apr 13, 2022, 8:10 AM Subject: Re: [coreboot] Re: Deprecation of the Intel Quark SoC To: Patrick Georgi <patrick(a)coreboot.org> Cc: Karl Semich <0xloem(a)gmail.com>, Coreboot <coreboot(a)coreboot.org> On Wed, Apr 13, 2022, 6:26 AM Patrick Georgi <patrick(a)coreboot.org> wrote: > Am 12.04.2022 um 23:54 schrieb Karl Semich: > > Obviously a way to sidestep all this would be to simply test the board > > in question, which is a small investment of money and time. > I appreciate that you volunteer to do that for Quark.

I may misremember who patrick is, but I was guessing they were a hard worker who was helping the project. below they seem to be complaining? around me addressing only one board? as myself? meanwhile the text where I attempt to discuss a larger approach is unincluded, both in the quote and the reasoning in their reply, as if they simply didn't receive it ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Patrick Georgi <patrick(a)coreboot.org> Date: Wed, Apr 13, 2022, 6:26 AM Subject: Re: [coreboot] Re: Deprecation of the Intel Quark SoC To: Karl Semich <0xloem(a)gmail.com>, Coreboot <coreboot(a)coreboot.org> Am 12.04.2022 um 23:54 schrieb Karl Semich: > Obviously a way to sidestep all this would be to simply test the board > in question, which is a small investment of money and time. I appreciate that you volunteer to do that for Quark. Can't be too bad, it's a small investment of money and time, after all. Regards, Patrick

Fwd: Deprecation of the Intel Quark SoC

hi from one confused list to another. the reply to this is very strange. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Karl Semich <0xloem(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Apr 12, 2022, 5:54 PM Subject: Re: Deprecation of the Intel Quark SoC To: Coreboot <coreboot(a)coreboot.org> Obviously a way to sidestep all this would be to simply test the board in question, which is a small investment of money and time. It's sad that automated testing appears to no longer be ongoing. I might wonder whether coreboot sponsors would support a coreboot-associated automated test lab. The arguments for deprecation in this thread do not appear forthright to me.

Re: Invitation to quick survey about pull requests
by Karl Semich 13 Apr '22

13 Apr '22

The most important thing about a pull request is whether it introduces bugs or maintenance challenges. Styles of contribution are to make it easier to discern and prevent this. I'm not really active in mozilla/DeepSpeech, certainly not with regard to PR review. Is your work likely to be used for the training of private automated code submission models?

[ot][spam][crazy] Decision Making
by Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many 13 Apr '22

13 Apr '22

This is a draft attempt to regrow a rational decision making process in karl semich. Posting to the list relates to the value around parts not disappearing after being expressed. It's 2022-04-12 04:48 ET. Karl is a little confused around continuing to pursue a difficult rtlsdr/logic analysis project. Goals being managed: - [ ] rtlsdr/logic analyser, this is priority - [ ] reduction of expenses. a phone was recently purchased - [ ] EEG logging, nonprioritised, inhibited - [ ] device to do EEG logging on - [ ] txqrapp merge submission [we were not expecting the big dialog. less has been expressed.] STRUGGLE: - it can help meet a number of goals to set up an existing device to do EEG logging on, such as pinephone. - recently noticed a txqrapp obligation. left open after a year or three. _rarely notice this_. it does not look complex to resolve. the topic has strong inhibition -> we would like to do the rtlsdr/logic analyser Doing the radio-logic-analysis project is a huge goal for us that we have spent many long times now trying to defend and stabilise. For some it represents many other goals. We need to be able to take simple goals to completion, to interaction with a normal todo list at all.

The rush is on
by professor rat 13 Apr '22

" . . . a16z got into crypto early, leading a $25 million funding round into Coinbase in 2013. By the time Coinbase went public in April 2021, the firm held a 15% stake following 14 more funding rounds. The shares were worth $10 billion on the first day of trading resulting in a 60x return for the company. However, this was several years before Dixon’s crypto fund was launched in June 2018 with $300 million raised in total at the time according to Crunchbase. There have been other notable investments by a16z including decentralized exchange Uniswap, the Avalanche blockchain, NFT creator Dapper Labs, and Ethereum staking platform Lido, all of which have surged in valuation or collateral since. . .
