In theory perhaps but the benefit is not as relevant with a weak iGPU. In practice all PC's with performance ambitions had a dGPU until Strix Halo and Panther Lake.

The memory bandwidth is a small thing compared to the massive win you get by not having to move data between two memory pools at all.

Having unified memory is a real advantage though, it's not a reality distortion.

I messed upp the list, didn't mean to imply that it can theme any commercial app. It was a separate point - Omarchy lets you install commercial apps as easily as any other app. Including things like Spotify, Claude Code, Codex, steam a

Surely you are only thinking of the visuals then? I can certainly understand that, but the visuals are not what I mean. Things like: - Sweating that the install should take a minute. - Ensuring that when you change themes, most relevant a

Much of the visuals and features in Omarchy is config yes but going from a blank drive to useful development environment in one minute is not just a set of dotfiles. It's clearly a distro now. Don't let politics cloud your thinkin

You're absolutely correct that oil and gas extraction activities need to be properly decommissioned, and that is expensive. But that's a separate activity from shutting down electric power plants. Oil rigs will continue to operate

True enough but there's an order of magnitude difference in those costs. For nuclear the costs extend beyond out ability to predict the future, and they simply can't be ignored whatever they amount to. A fossil plant can simply be

That chart needs a companion chart showing “amount of effort needed to prevent deaths”. Since that is missing lots of people think nuclear is safe when it’s actually by far the most dangerous.

> Solar and wind are fine but they’re not usable as a replacement for nuclear without huge battery installations which make the cost worse than nuclear. I don’t think that’s been true for some time now, batteries have fallen in price ver

Remarkably they are planning even higher electricity use from centers in Sweden, up to 3.5GW. They also have significant centers in Norway. They are going to consume a significant fraction of Scandinavia's total electricity production

The flip side to ai doing your stuff in 1/10 the time is that you can now do 10x more. Even things you couldn’t do at all, in fact. I find that very motivating. I can do things alone that would have required a team only one year ago.
