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.

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

Low level programming C
Could be pretty much any computer
rust
Need a lot of memory (8-16 GB) if you are planning on dissecting any existing projects
Machine Learning programming with Python
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.

I’m not sure that serious ML doesn’t need a huge graphics card.
