When I was a teenager, tiny core saved me for a few months. My laptop had died and all I could use until I got a replacement was an old desktop computer we had around with 256MB of RAM. It was around the end of the windows 7 era, so even Xubuntu was struggling on such an old computer.
Tiny Core ran surprisingly well and I could actually use it to browse the web and use IRC.
Not only just one run per model, but no metrics other than total return. If you pick stocks at random you have a very high chance of beating the S&P 500, so you need a bit more than that to make a good benchmark.
This resonates with me. Last week I got stuck on a bug where GitHub actions was pulling ARMv7 docker images when I specifically requested ARMv8. Absolutely impossible to reproduce locally either.

Not true for Western Europe. Getting more than 60k euros yearly as a software engineer was hard in 2019, it's now basically impossible to get less than that.
I don't think that's right. They make one of the many machines you need for semiconductor manufacturing. The NXP fab in Nijmegen makes simple components on a outdated 140nm+ process with 200mm wafers.
Unless there is another fab that is making actual modern chips?
