A combination of low interest rates and declining Nissan quality to price. You couldn't get a Versa for under $20k post-2020, so there was absolutely no reason to buy one.

They didn't try in earnest. The Dodge Dart was a very low quality car at an uncompetitive price. You could get a Corolla for the same money. I bought a Nissan Versa around that time for like $10k out the door.

Thanks for sharing. Counterpoint: H100's MSRP for around $30k. For 6 months at $12/hr, that's $51,840 revenue per card. So they're hitting break even in 3 months, everything after that is profit (minus electricity, etc), and the cards are still selling for around MSRP used.

The real question IMO is building capex. Those depreciate over a longer timeline, but if demand were to drop in 5 years and we have an excess of datacenter space, that's going to hurt. We're approaching the physical limits of what's possible with silicon and fiber optics. Unless there are new architectures or break throughs in algorithms, the only way to make AI more productive today is to build larger clusters, or much longer training/RL runs.

Disagree. The US manufacturers doubled down on over priced cars that nobody can afford, that's what the money went towards.

Remember when Hillary won all those coin tosses?

Well, as it happens these immigration court judges were appointed by previous administrations, and they were intentionally slow walking every case. The Trump admin fired a bunch of those judges earlier this year, was sued, won, and now the cases are actually getting processed.

The people that ICE are rounding up today already have an active removal order, and they are actively fleeing law enforcement (for the most part).

People have also been offered incentives to self-deport. The ones left are actively breaking the law and are more or less fugitives.

Personally, I would prefer to not have federal police forces and we could use state police to deport people, but both sides of the aisle are making a lot of cash building up the police state.

The issue is that past administrations of given them quasi-legal status. You hop the border, claim 'asylum', then you get a court date years away.

So the first step is revoking the fraudulent claims, and processing the cases so they can be deported legally.

You're the one that brought morality into the conversation. If you don't think there's anything unique about what we've experienced in the last few years, I don't know what to tell you.

That's just your opinion. I think copyright is immoral.

We could decide to fund civil rights litigation like medicaid.

If you can solve the problem in a way that doesn't give government and NGO's more power over private industry, nobody will push back. If the solution is invasive government regulation, the answer will always be no. Also, can't involve the tax payers funding any of it.

I'm familiar with the document. We've reached the terminal progress where copyright is useful to society.

Does copyright over knowledge-based works really have any legitimate position in today's society? We're entering a new age of how information is created, used, and distributed.

You would think tech workers in the deep blue states would be leading unionization efforts to kill this kind of stuff before AI finally fires all of us, but no dice.
