Theoretically fungi can live off sawdust, don't need plenty of light or watering, etc, so they should be less expensive than corn. OTOH corn is highly optimized over centuries of breeding, harvesting, and processing. Fungi, not nearl

Better languages do not necessarily mean better architectural decisions, or even better performance, unless the humans pressure for that and burn tokens on that. With no engineer in the room, more technical issues will be left unnoticed and

Specifically the M series from Apple have a very wide, very fast interface to DRAM, which is connected to DRAM chips soldered basically next to the CPU. That makes it possible to use the entire unified RAM as the GPU RAM, and reasonably run

This totally depends on how you set up your org face attributes. I keep using Org because, for me, it's far more readable than Markdown. Also, it's always a tree. The three operations, like folding, traversal,. etc, are essential
