why always only DX11, why not DX12?
Parallels and VMWARE can also do only DX11??

DX11 is much more high level while DX12 implements direct control over the GPU. 12 is much more like vulkan.
I guess since this is emulating the device instead of just passing the commands to vulkan it is easier to do DX11, but I could be wrong about this particular implementation.

DirectX 12 isn't just much more like Vulkan, it's so shockingly similar, it's basically Vulkan. It's jarring when you read it for the first time because you ask yourself why it even exists, but a second later, you realize it's so Microsoft can own their own graphics interface, too.
I could be remembering this incorrectly, but that's the impression I remember.

DX12 is much more complex to implement. Very different API.

I have never heard anyone diss qemu before. Care to elaborate?

The other thing is that qemu is so many things. It can be a CPU emulator, a full system emulator, and a frontend to a virtualization engine. And all of this for so many different systems. It's kind of remarkable that all of this is called by the same name.

It’s called trolling. You’re not supposed to feed the troll.

I don't think someone expressing a unsubstantiated negative opinion is akin to trolling
I would define trolling as a low-effort/sloppy attempt at a counterargumentation whose sole point is to ragebait you into looking unhinged in your response so that we can make fun of you

You never know what's going on in the mind of another person, they could have something going on that makes them feel negatively about qemu. We can project our stress into all kinds of strange places.

Maybe this is one of those topics to let an army of agents get loose.
Nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

This is also one of things that needs to be well optimized to be any useful. Army of agents may get an implementation, but not sure it will be actually useful, and I'm also not sure if optimizing that implementation is going to be easier than more well paced use of LLM where person actually understands what code is being generated.

You seem to contradict yourself. Army of agents doesn't mean the person doing that doesn't understand the code. And optimization is required no matter whether the bulk of the code is written by hand or by the machine. LLMs definitely make things actually doable where previously they were nearly impossible.

This is quite literally, objectively what it means lol. No human will ever seen it.

This argument, while totally valid, will never halt the build out of data centers nor hamper the development of AI.
