They literally are gangsters; look at what they're doing in Venezuela, literally stealing and selling oil tankers, extrajudicial killings and all the rest of it. Only 33% of the population opposed it the second time (when it was alre

The aforementioned Ryzen AI chip is exactly what you describe, with 128 GB on-package LPDDR5X. I have two of them. To answer the original question: the Framework Desktop is indeed still at the (pretty inflated) price, but for example the Bo

Good show, this is how I recommend doing it and have been teaching it for years. It's quite unfortunate that basically everyone thinks 3D graphics necessarily implies rasterisation and using someone else's API, and I feel extremel

I don't understand what is going on with people willing to give up their computing sovereignty. You should be able to own and run your own computation, permissionlessly as much as your electricity bill and reasonable usage goes. If you

Uhhh, go for it? You're welcome to link anything you like of course, but do you maybe want to address my actual points if you have any objections? Let's do some measurements, it sounds like you might be surprised by the outcome. W

A bunch of things are on their way out among native speakers, e.g. singular vs plural (there is / there are), much vs many (how much people / large amount of people), past vs present tense (build / built), ... as a German we

Fair enough, and I do appreciate Rust's contributions to the spectrum of programming language considerations. Personally I'd like to become a Zig guy, though. There's also Fil-C BTW, and in normal C++ there are GCC or Clang (
