This is still quite a bit away from the performance that deepseek gets on their H800. In their DSpark paper they report a throughput of 15k tokens/s/gpu. The MI300 should be able to compete with the H800 so there are probably still quite a few optimizations that can be made.

If the US were serious about road safety, they would change the roads and streets to be more safe and tax 1500+ kg vehicles into oblivion.

Suburbs are highly subsidized. The quality of life only seems to outcompete cities because the quality of life in cities is lowered by the car centric culture.

If you want to know how good the QoL in a city can be, you need to visit a European city that is not car centric.

Cars are generally not a mode of transport that makes sense in a city. There are some exceptions, but the vast majority of transportation in a city should be by foot, bicycle or public transport.

Car dependence imposes a huge cost on the poor. With good public transportation and bicycle infrastructure, poor people wouldn't need a car.

Reducing car dependence is a good thing for the poor.

That is how you get to the current state of car dependence in the US.

Parking costs a lot. It should not be subsidized.

That is the case, but banning it just for a few weeks will change that without much disruption. Most people are aware that Signal exist and switch the moment WhatsApp stops working.

Why is finding that we are not that different from other mammals degrading and disrespectful?

You still have to pay the interest on the loan.

If your bond 10y bond you bought two years ago pays 1.5% and you need to take on a loan at 3.5% for 8 years to be liquid, then you are still around 16% in the red. You will find that this is also roughly what the market will discount the bonds.

No, that is not true.

Selling the bonds now at their current valuation or taking on debt and hold them to maturity lead to roughly equivalent outcomes.

The MtM losses are real.

> So the obvious and sensible thing to do is have the government lend money to cover the time until the bonds mature, in addition to using the FDIC's money which did not come from public funds.

The cost of the loans should be in the same ballpark as the losses on the long term bonds.

Over 80% of the US population lives in urban areas.
