  This sounds… plausible actually. They have this big stake in GPU datacenters for AI, that are (and will be) burning incredible amounts of money and are not turning a profit anytime soon. That same crazy level of investement on AI is making hardware costs go up, especially gaming hardware.

  But Microsoft, being the benefactors who have inherited the company from philantropist and kids-lover Bill Gates, have thought of us! They will share a bit of their shiny GPU datacenters’ plwer for gaming and all they will be asking for is a lot of your money. I can see that.

  I guess that’s how ship cannons worked at the time. Powerful but heavy to move, slow to reload, not very accurate… more of them would give you the only way to have sustained firepower.

  But Leonardo also left a lot of these sketches that look less like actual projects and more like the superhero fantasies of an extremely gifted six years old. “And look, this shit has cannons… Cannons EVERYWHERE! Bam! Kapow!”. I guess it’s what happens when your so great at drawing that even the doodles you do when bored look like masterpieces.

  I have a decent knowledge of Rust but am not a cryptography expert. What are the building blocks that are missing from Rust?
