  • The Chinese are already producing cheap video cards!

    The Moore Threads MTT S5000 came out this or last year and is apparently competitive enough with nvidia offerings for AI training and inference. I suspect the spy was from some other Chinese company, but it could also have been Moore Threads looking to catch up faster.

    There’s also the MTT S80 which has been out for like 3 years, is cheap and has 16 GB GDDR6 (hey 3 years ago that was pretty decent still). Unfortunately the drivers suck so it’s not great for gaming, or doing anything else graphical.

    Gaming is unfortunately kind of irrelevant to them, it seems. It doesn’t really bring in money.



  • It’s more like 32% of the wealth for the 1%. And most of the 1% is not billionaires. Billionaires own around 5%.

    Their real problem is millionaires. Or even just old people in general. People over 55 own 73% of the country’s assets and any time you see that BlackRock and Vanguard and so on own a large share of a large company, that’s their index funds, largely used by retirement funds. Of course even among old people it’s strongly skewed towards the top 10 or 20 percent owning most of the wealth.

    Billionaires are just a corner case of the millionaire problem, and taxing millionaires out of existence would also take care of the billionaires.


  • If I need something that can’t carry big objects, I can take my wagon. Rear seats down, it’s got as much cargo space as the cybertruck if not a bit more. Of course, it can also go through a car wash or a pothole without setting me back a fortune. Hell, it can even go off road better than the cybertruck, despite not being a truck.

    I also paid under 2k EUR for it, but that’s just because I’m an idiot who likes depreciated cars. A brand new one (Audi A6 Allroad) can be had for under 100k so that’s still about as much as a cybertruck, for something that can do everything the cyber truck does and a lot of things it can’t.
