My bet (I don't think there is any confirmation of it) is that the AMD board is still the one released last year. The main difference I see is that the new Intel board uses LPCAMM2 memory whereas the AMD board relies on usual socketed memory that has higher latency and is more memory hungry.

I guess it's mostly because cpython has a fairly good C API allowing PyO3 to just write "safe" wrappers on top of cpython APIs and provide macros to generate boilerplate whereas wasm-bindgen has to generate both Rust and JS sides and deal with the painful linear memory intermediate.

Igalia is a quite specific "consulting" agency that employs developers and get contracts from client to implement specific features or fix specific bugs, usually around FOSS. They have people who knows how to contribute to Firefox, Chrome, WebKit, Linux, Mesa... It's the go to company if you want to get something done in these projects when not having the resources for that in house.

For example they work for Valve to make the Radeon drivers better and got a grant to get basic MathML support done in the three major web browsers.

It's amazing to see MathML moving forward. As a european, I really like this usage of my taxes euros.

UV for packaging and dependency management, Ruff for linting, Mypy for type checking (will be likely replaced by Ty when ready) and whatever editor people like (PyCharm, VSCode, Helix...)

A lot of large castle owners in France have setup a small apartment on the side for winter and use the main rooms only occasionally and during summer. This is not something new, in Versailles you can visit the king actual private bedroom that is much smaller and easy to heat than the official one.

There is now libgccjit that aims at allowing to embed gcc https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/jit/

There is an alternative backend to rustc that relies on it.

If I understand correctly, this library provides some Torch kernels customized for AMD hardware. Why haven't they just upstreamed them to PyTorch for better adoption? Also, they seem to demo usage with Torch default eager execution mode and not Torch JIT/TorchScript. Is this library compatible with TorchScript?
