for the proprietay bits, make a partnership of some sort between my employer and yours that necessitates an advisory board role exist for them, and then as the person with the most relevant experience I get told to do it.. i bitch and moan about the extra work..for appearances.. but I get read in.

it would be pedantically interesting to know how well the final values fit within the currently "unlocked" planned parameter tolerances. I think that would say something about the overall approach.

Like what the final delta is between the pre-SPARC plan for ARC and what gets locked in. In particular if ARC is being initially designed with some amount of wiggle room. some parameter value tolerances that the late lockin plan expects the final values to live within...

But that doesn't mean you stop the planning process just because there may be an unknown unknown out there.
What would be most interesting to me, because I'm a nerd is a summary of what gets learned at SPARC that materially impacts ARC..

Hey, professional skeptic reporting in.
I don't understand the criticism of this approach. Is there a risk that SPARC doesn't hit a target, and there is some sort of unexpected nonlinear physics that pops up? Yes..always. That's why you do the demo sized device.

The real question is, who would be brave enough to commit to eating food from AI generated recipes?
Maybe that should be my requirement from now on. If I'm going to take you seriously as an AI proponent, then you have to make and eat an AI generated meal.

But because of that, basic food recipes, ingredients and cooking instructions. are a perfectly cromulent data source to train AI on without the copyright ethical issues.

Shrug...
That's no different than asking a project who provides an installable container that runs on any linux distro whether they built their C library deps from source or yonked them from the base image their container was based on.
There's a lot of yonking going on. So much yonking.

In fact nearly everything that is proprietary application should be an appimage and the vendor should take responsibility for all the libraries it needs.

I'm going to say something controversial... steam is exactly the sort of thing that appimage format is meant for. appimage isn't a container or a sandbox.. its just a way to bundle an application and all its dependencies together in a vendor'd approached.

The 32bit maintainer problem is coming for us all.
If Ubuntu drops 32 libs in its next LTS to avoid the epochalypse.... then you can expect CI/CD based testing of these builds to crater...and then you can expect upstream projects to deprecate.
