No, it's practically supported by everybody, except SiFive...

SiFive only supports it in their new generation performance cores.

The CH32V407/CH32V467 is a bit more expensive, was $2.4 per unit two month ago, but supports the embedded subset of the RISC-V vector extension.

So you basically get a full AVX-512/SVE level SIMD ISA, minus FP support and with 64-bit SIMD width. But you still have LMUL, which will be great here to maximize utilization.

The C preprocessor is practically turing complete, in the same sense that C it self or your computer is practially turing complete, but not strictly.

I see that it's currently not culturally accepted, but fundamentally is also a case of entitlement from the hosts part.

> everyone demands they are catered to on their terms.

How much of a thing is this in practice? To me this also feels driven by the expectations of the host towards the guests beeing fully accommodated by them. It's probably a mixture of both.

Like, I'm happy to bring my own food, when invited. E.g. I would presume most vegans would be cool with bringing their own or ordering, as you are used to that anyways.

Also, rust could just be based and make -mno-strict-align the default.

There also is an insentive to silently give prominent people (e.g. Linus) or reasearchers like this custom tuned system prompts or even more powerful models.

I suppose nobody sane would give their AI internet access (even read) while training it. Though if they did, I don't think they'd want this to be public, because how can you even protect against this?

I wonder how much this matters for python. As long as the important dependencies like numpy runtime dispatch RVV, it should probably be fine.

Zba would probably give a small boost. Zbb gives a substantial boost to perf for applications that use clz/popc heavily, but I don't think that would apply to python.
