Low level programming C, rust and Machine Learning programming with Python. No need of huge graphics card.
ML means you need a beefy GPU. That could always be a secondary addition though - add it in later as an external GPU and call it good.
Could be pretty much any computer
Need a lot of memory (8-16 GB) if you are planning on dissecting any existing projects
Start with colab / huggingface and get a feel for what level of hardware you need for the stuff you’re doing before you start buying stuff
If you want just a general high quality system with upgradability etc, frame.work or System76 are supposed to be good high end providers.
well even a raspberry pi would be enough, except for ML
depending on what exactly in ML, and what our the sizes of datasets involved?, like i did some work, but for me 8 GiB RAM was enough, but if you want to do larger databases, you would need somewhat good GPU (essentially large matrix multipliers) with plenty of VRAM
I'm not sure that serious ML doesn't need a huge graphics card.
