Perfect for snooping on other people’s projects. No one in their right mind would touch this. It’s cheaper to buy the board yourself.

Yes, what a devious plan: give open source software projects a free CI service so you can... read their open source software code?

My experience with RISC-V so far is that the chips are not much faster than QEMU emulation. In other words, it's very slow.

That has been the case so far but is changing this year.

The SpacemiT K3 is faster than QEMU. Much faster chips are expected to release over the next few months.

I mean things like the Milk-V Pioneer were already faster but expensive.

One thing that has been frustrating about RISC-V is that many companies close to releasing decent chips have been bought and then those chips never appear (Ventana, Rivos, etc). That and US sanctions (eg. Sophgo SG2380).

Sadly still on quite old hardware, with no RVV. Hopefully scaleway will have some newer servers in the future and this can be simply updated to the new devices.

You can get RVV instances from Saleway.

Oh, cool, I didn't see them on the website. (https://labs.scaleway.com/en/em-rv1/)
