right, like ram isn't used by anyone other than ai fags. no, they are enjoying gouging consumers with an excuse. and just like playing card companies selling 'rare' printed cards on third party websites for bank, these companies are selling gpus through third party sellers that suspiciously never run out of stock for 4x the amount and just blame scalpers (despite having the ability to prevent people from ordering more than their share)

I've been wondering the same thing and especially so now. The market is ripe, someone should decided to become a winner. It might sincerely be that easy despite everyone saying how impossible it is. Even if it's not easy, surely it is worth doing.

I need 5 sticks of ram today for my existing software and I will need 5 sticks of ram tomorrow for another one, will you promise to sell them to me at this price at the time I need them? And don't let anyone else have them, we have a deal. Thanks.

Something like that.
To be specific "when is the future" is likely some term of agreement they have, either a fixed date and price or something negotiable, only they would know.

But C# runs on Linux these days. Do you think they aren't using it because the consequences of C# being cross-platform haven't propagated yet, or they distrust Microsoft enough that they wouldn't have chosen C# even if it had always been cross-platform?

I picked up a book about it and just started writing it. It's not particularly hard, you just have to break down the steps even more than you do for normal programming.

>>107818529
Any time you need deep access to things that a compiler doesn't let you touch, like control registers. Writing your own operating system is one example.

It's also useful when you're getting a weird bug and can't figure out why because there's nothing wrong with what you programmed in a higher level language. I found out that the compiler I was using didn't understand the scope of variables when I repeatedly used the same variable name inside sub-blocks buried within other blocks that already had a variable with that name.

Lisp is not the antithesis of Unix minimalism. Only reason it feels like that is because Common Lisp and the like are basically full environments, and we run each program in their own environments. If you just have an image with the stuff you want already in it it's fairly minimal. I guess a good comparison would be having to ship the "OS" with every binary because you're running it in a different OS hostile to it. Also you have stuff like Guile/GUIX which are very Linux (I guess not Unix)

>>107832292
not him, but I really do not fucking get what makes people drop all of their shit the moment they see a Lisp. do we really exist in a profession where those that practice are unable to sit for 15 fucking minutes, writing out code to some Advent of Code style problem?
it's quite fucking trivial to learn any Lisp in such an environment.
monkey games type of shit.

>>107834122
Yeah I also think about this often. I came from other languages pretty late in the game and had very little trouble adjusting to the sexp syntax. I'm guessing it mostly comes from python devs that are used to a mostly noiseless syntax, but coming from C++/Java/Rust it's a breath of fresh air.
Only thing I prefer in those languages is the discoverability with LSPs. Like doing thing.<autocomplete>, in lisp I need to know the method/function beforehand and I don't know what's compatible with what without looking at the source code. Overall not an issue because NIH is strong in Lisp and I have like 0-3 libraries max vs something like Rust where you end up with 20 crates.

I was going to put this on gitgud due to my disdain for Microslop, but there were requests for me to register it with MELPA too, and lo and behold they require making a PR on shithub anyway. So up it goes there:
https://github.com/eNotchy/4g

Tell me which things you expected to work do not work (unless they relate to autoload fuckery which I'm currently fiddling with), in case any of you still use this.

a new battery technology has been discovered every year for the last 15 years, none of them have made it to market, why should I care about this one?

>>107833487
>>Low energy density doesn't matter in grid and home applications.
Most batteries are not used in grid or home applications: you plug shit into a socket.
Energy density matters for portable devices which is where lithium batteries are used. Even for example a cordless drill that's mostly used "at home" still needs reasonable energy density because nobody will lug around a 1kg battery on their "handheld drill". Electrical devices are either mains-powered or need to be portable and therefore have dense batteries.

Maybe the only exception is literal grid energy storage but they already use shit like gravity batteries on hydroelectric dams, which have infinity cycles and are better, cheaper, simpler and more durable than any chemical battery at that scale.

>>107826716

>>107833854
Obviously I don't mean cordless drills when I say grid and home applications. Everything you said about energy density on handhelds is true, I agree. You need high density batteries to make these things worthwhile. I still remember nicad makitas; feels bad man.
You slap some solar on a roof, and hook up a stack of nickel irons in a shed and you can relatively cheaply and sustainably get a week of emergency power or stack more and you become the grid selling watts to your neighbors at peak hours.
In the same way that lithium density made handhelds viable, cheap on site storage makes solar viable.

I want a high end CPU laptop. My choices are AMD 395+, AMD 9955HX, or macbook pro.
>395+
Available on like one single laptop and I don't want a 14'' HP. AMD apparently refuses to ship it to OEMs and/or it's not considered a useful market or something
>9955HX
Guzzles 200W for minimal improvement in performance so I'd rather strix halo, also almost exclusively comes in massive xboxhueg gaming laptops, I don't need a gaming gpu
>M4/M5 max
M4 max was already neck and neck with strix halo 395+ in benchmarks, if M5 max is the usual 15-20% bump in performance it'll basically be the best option. Meanwhile AMD still fails to supply 395+ to most OEMs and apparently has zero plans to bump it this gen, the 400-series seems to be more of a refresh of the mid tiers since the most powerful AI400 chip I've seen announced is a 12 core (and will probably remain vapourware for another 6-9 months judging by how long even strix halo laptops took to appear).

I just want to be able to compile large projects fast without having to ssh into a server on the other side of the world and deal with remote rsyncing and all that garbage. Money is no object but getting a powerful machine that runs linux is apparently cock and ball torture.

>snapdragon x2
From what I've seen from the snapdragon elite, it's not competing with the top performers, and also linux support was atrocious last I checked and it was basically designed as a windows ARM machine. I haven't seen anyone take it seriously or make any sort of high-powered laptops with it.
Maybe in a few more years we might have open high-end ARM laptops. But the top end of x86 is not terrible in comparison, like I said 395+ from all benchmarks and tests I've seen is basically neck and neck with the current best M4 max in performance and is not dramatically worse in power consumption either, it's a beautiful chip really; it's just not being fucking mass-produced and not being iterated upon.

>one single benchmark
>multicore benchmark on a workstation machine
Now compare multicore scores across a variety of benchmarks (not just one version of one vendor). I've spent an autistic amount of time trying to decide this and my conclusion is that it's really just close enough that it's impossible to conclude which one will be faster without testing my specific workload.

Anyway as for M5 max I agree that it will likely be the actual winner since again Apple is doing a generational performance bump while AMD is not, so it will become a no-brainer. But that just supports my point, my options are either a shittier linux machine, or a powerful machine with an OS that I hate using, hence me unironically considering virtualizing linux on top of macOS.
