How does typescript perform on arrays compared with BQN for example whose reference CBQN implementation extensively uses AVX / Neon?

“seems” doesn’t need a source

It doesn't need one, but I am asking if there is one. Or if there isn't, what else they are basing it on (the answer could be anything from personal anecdotes to actual data; that's what I'd like to know).

I often want to try, but never get the time, aren’t you missing packages and solutions out of the shelf and ready to use?

Increasingly flake.nix is present in good repos. Zillions of packages are available. But yes, you will need to learn and sometimes File System Hierarchy assumptions need to be worked around. The rewards however, dominate the (few) inconveniences once you know your way around.

There’s now a gaping 500 dollar hole in the lineup between this and the macbook air.

yeah but effective GPU RAM has ramped thanks to unified mem on apple. The 5y thing doesn't hold anymore.

agentic crap from green usernames is getting tiresome.

more market economics framing of life, as if numerous very smart people haven't already tried to make this paradigm work for society, and failed.

The funny thing is that textbook economics has all of the answers about why laissez-faire market economics doesn't work as a foundation for economic policy. It's almost as if it's never been about making good policy and always about doing whatever is best for big businesses and the small number of wealthy people who stand to gain the most from minimizing consumer surplus.

totally. In fact the current monopoly-coddling dispensation is antithetical to market economics, which clearly espouses real competition. It's kinda been coopted and hijacked.
