🌹💰⛔️🇨🇦 : Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says it could easily cost over $400 billion for an independent Republic of Alberta, to set up a credible government.
Smith adds it will require an additional $50 billion a year to run such a government.
The Premier also says Alberta would have to renegotiate all trade deals, including agreements under USMCA.
Danielle warns a new Republic would likely face immediate new tariffs or higher tariffs on Alberta goods, currently under Canadian trade deals.
She also warns travel and property rights inside the rest of Canada & around the world could be limited, cumbersome or rejected.
Do you think the Premier's warnings are credible?
@Mechanic76Jack@k1rallik I have doubts that they use low level x86-64 optimizations. Unity for sure do, but when it has a proper arm support, it’s just recompiling.
🚨do you understand what just happened with NVIDIA RTX Spark..
Jensen Huang walked on stage and pulled an entire gaming PC out of his pocket.
NVIDIA merged the CPU, RTX GPU, AI hardware and up to 128GB of memory into one Windows-on-ARM superchip and called it the end of the PC as you know it.
> 20-core Grace CPU plus a Blackwell GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores - RTX 5070-tier graphics in a 14mm body.
> NVIDIA claims 100+ FPS at 1440p in 007 First Light and Forza Horizon 6, on battery.
> It runs a 120-billion-parameter AI model locally, no cloud needed.
> ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI and Microsoft already have 30+ laptops lined up for this fall.
The whole internet has two questions: is it real, and how much. Nobody's asking the third - what happens to every other chipmaker if it is.
NVIDIA has announced RTX Spark, a new chip for Windows PCs that combines the CPU, RTX graphics, AI hardware, and memory into a single package.
The company says RTX Spark can run modern games at 1440p and over 100 FPS in thin and lightweight laptops.
>It is an ARM-based chip that combines a GPU with performance similar to the RTX 5070.
>The processor includes a 20-core Grace CPU and 128 GB of unified memory.
>It delivers strong gaming performance, offering around 100 FPS at 1440p in modern titles like 007 First Light and Forza Horizon 6.
>The chip maintains good performance even on battery power in Windows laptops.
>It also features advanced AI capabilities.
>The RTX Spark is designed for both laptops and desktops.
>It is scheduled to launch in Fall 2026 as a joint effort between NVIDIA and Microsoft.
@AwesomeNewsom Good! He knows what date is today, what is his name, and can tell zebra from elephant. Most likely can read 10 o’clock too. We will be fine.
