Looks like we both misread it. "By "major cities" we mean any of the top 10 most populous cities in the United States of America." Phoenix is in that list.

My reading of the terms of the bet is major cities, which means more than one city with a population in excess of 250K. In my reading just Phoenix and Tucson would be sufficient.

I see. It's also an ISO standard too, which means it won't happen for sure before 2030... :) https://www.sae.org/standards/content/j3016_202104

Is there an agreed upon definition of level 5? I mean what's "everywhere" and "all conditions". I can't drive everywhere and in all conditions for some definitions of everywhere and all conditions. Am I not

To be commercially available for passenger use in major cities at level 5, regulators have to also agree it's level 5. It's not just a technical problem.

The code may have been written in C but many drivers are distributed in binary only form with headers. Unfortunately the binaries are often ARM only.

I think to really have the conversation we would have to define the terms. Much of the original CAD tooling was open source because it was written at Universities. Things like: is it enough for one to make any core or does one have to make

That's part of the reason ARM will be very hard to displace. Just like there is a ton of x86 code out there in the server world that's not going anywhere. There is a ton of ARM code (especially peripheral driver code) out there

This is because the underlying CAD tooling has gotten much smarter and easier to use. It's not because of anything RISCV did in particular. This toolchain enables going from knowing nothing to a core in one class. One doesn't eve

And if you’re in the top, say 1/3, of engineers you’ll make a good living. If you’re in the top 1% of say, chess players, you probably won’t even get tournament invites.

Actually, I think this is a decent thought experiment. IMHO it would depend a lot of what is included and not included and what definition of profitability we used. For example, if I spent less money would that also count as more profitabl

Exactly. It's entirely possible that it's correct depending on the specifics. Say for example one is trying to install MySQL 8.0 on a laptop with Catalina, which is still supported by Apple and getting security updates. This is

What I mean by "everyone says that" is that I often read that big tech should be regulated but I don't know what specific end they are trying to achieve. Tech (big and small) is regulated today and there are rules on the book
