    I can see where this came from. ARM and RISC-V are both reduced instruction set computer (RISC) architechtures but are not the same. Arm is a proprietary ISA originally from Acorn. Risc-v is a new ISA developed completely open-source

    EDIT: also, not to be killjoy, but for clarity “research arm” means apendage or division and is completely unrelated

        Maybe we’re reading something different, or this is tongue and cheek but "Alibaba’s research arm, the Damo Academy, " sounds like research arm is a synonym for “research division” or “research department”.

            Where in that article do you read that?

                No, I was hoping it’d be confirmed when I mentiomed it could be tongue in cheek. Doesn’t always come across in a thread where some are unironically making the same point.

                • I was trying to criticize the original poster by using increasingly ridiculous arguments, when it was obvious they never actually read the article and even misread the post. Something something satire.

                  I guess it didn’t come off obvious enough. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                    I’m just bad at reading sarcasm sometimes. Probably you were obvious and it went over my head
