The release of the first RVA23 capable platform is a watershed moment in computing history, and not a single comment on Hacker News. Incredible.
Not THAT much of watershed. I didn't even see a lot of stuff about the equivalent first ARMv9 SBCs (and first with SVE almost TEN YEARS after the spec was published), the Radxa Orion O6 a year ago and Orange Pi 6 Plus half a year ago (same chip).

Also, none of us actually HAVE them yet. Sure, I've been using a pre-production board at SpacemiT via ssh to China since mid January, but it's still probably two weeks until I'll have one in front of me and I can browse the web and watch YouTube on it etc.

All the things we could do via ssh were published three months ago. LivingLinux for example has a whole series of videos on YouTube.

There's plenty of coverage over on r/riscv and r/spacemit_riscv
