ah ha ha ha ha. 我也是。我太久没有用笔写字了。但是明显你好认识子已经比很多的人好。我觉得要手写太累了，还有很多人的字我看不懂

啊明白了。你那么年轻还能写中文那马好不错。我认识的大陆孩子搬去美国不知不会写中文，多不会说了。恭喜你。

I don’t understand how that works? I’m too lazy to write in Chinese at the moment since I’m drunk. But how can you be born in Guang Zhou and only have a second grade understanding of Chinese? That said, my Spanish is the worst of the three languages I speak. We are all going to have different levels of languages based on many factors. I’ll tell you what though, you’ll your best language when your smashed out of your mind…

I don’t know if no one can understand my POV, but I get myself into strange situations that are awesome. I speak English, Chinese and Spanish. Once I was in Brazil and while they speak Portuguese, everyone understands Spanish, but not necessarily English. Especially if it’s for a local tourist activity. I saw a pirate ship and thought my kids would love it. So I talked them into selling me tickets and boarded the ship. What I didn’t know was it had nothing to do with pirates, it was a boat to go to an island. And everyone was drunk on caiprinahas.

Anyway while on the boat, suddenly the boat guide person said it’s dancing time. I swear to God every one just started synchronized dancing. I thought it was a flash mob.

Then when we got to the island, on our local side, everyone was dancing and eating Brazilian food. I noticed a fence and looked over and realized half the island was for American tourists. And wow the difference was stark. The Brazilians were dancing and having fun. The Americans were overweight laying on beach towels and not moving. Really makes you think about culture differences.

Ultimately, I don’t know if people can understand my view points. But I am super grateful I know the languages I do because I get to have experiences others simply can’t. As well as I don’t worry about visiting random nations because I’ll almost certainly find someone who can speak a language I know. Like I had to speak Spanish once on top of the great wall.

Probably. It’s hard to say since so much is behind the veil. In fact it’s likely China has its own DUV lithography supply. US estimates on what China can produced based on number of asml units sold is wildly wrong.

I don’t think you realize it, but your proving my point. I never said no Huawei chips would be sold. I said China wants to reach criticality with it’s users. With Huawei chips being more expensive and less capable, the big boys won’t buy Huawei. And the secondary market doesn’t matter to the big boys who will get it at MSRP because orders always go to them first. Since they have the most users and will have the most exposure for stress testing.

The last thing China wants is for Huawei to only sell to smaller companies and start ups where it’s entirely possible there will be no users and money wasted. That’s why the new law only targets the major companies.

*Edit on that point I’m going to predict the future now. In a few months we’re going to see an article saying China has bought record amounts of H20s and NVIDIA’s stocks are going to go up again. This is because the smaller companies are still going to be buying and at MSRP because the big boys can’t.

The problem is the Chinese chips are not cheaper. Huawei’s 910c is about 30% slower and 1/3 more expensive. Add on top of that a lack of software, without government force, who would buy it?

You’re right about that, BUT I’d argue that’s all small potatoes. If no one develops on Chinese chips, then they’ll never actually be competitive. The only way for China to push ahead in any capacity, or even to catch up is to have thousands of users on their chipsets.

Let’s look at the MooreThreads MTT80. When it started it was performing like a 2017 GPU GT1030. They did 0 hardware upgrades. I will repeat that 0 hardware upgrades. But today, it’s able to run the domestic game Black Myth WuKong at 4k at 40 fps. Yes I realize that means it stutters, but with no hardware changes they were able to make a fairly demanding modern game playable. What this has rang through out China I am sure is, China has to do everything on earth to fix their software. If that means banning NVIDIA, so be it.

Exactly right! This why China is banning the chips. They caught up in hardware and now need to catch up in software. If they continue to allow people to use NVIDIA chips, then their software will never progress as they won’t have users to optimize them.

Of course not? If they gave you that impression then you would pry. As I said, it’s pretty universal at this point. No mind reading needed. The fact that you were trying to do exactly what they’re trying to avoid is hilarious to me.

This is a tier 4 city in China. Which is far down the development ladder and considered poor.

The vast majority of Chinese live in cities like this or better. Saying that there are still poor villages, well I give you this

Kensington Philadelphia is so drug infested people walk around like zombies. Does China have poor areas like that? Actually no, even the poorest villages aren’t that bad.

They refuse to offer criticism to you, they will criticize the CCP constantly amongst themselves. They’ve sadly learned right or wrong that westerners are always trying to make China look bad. It’s largely from western news like BBC. Just look up the phrase China, but at what cost. The most hilarious one I read was China is curing cancer fast, but at what cost.

So when the propaganda machine starts complaining about Chinese overproduction and insisting on tariffs start up again they can point to articles like this. Gotta load up the ammo for propaganda obviously.

Well, I’m mostly on escaping this awful ride we call capitalism. Even if there’s some mild torture, still a ok.

Here’s something horrifying, we already have, your just not in the right class of people. We are the leftovers. The ones living Plato’s dream already exists. Just look at Elon with his hundred children and tell me that’s not his existence already. The issue is for him to exist, the rest of us must suffer. That’s the problem, we are the sacrifice. So fuck it, I want the vampire mommy to make me a pet. Sex, no sex, still better than living through Plato’s nightmare.

You know what, fuck it, I would love to be their pet. I’m not even talking in a sexual manner. Think about how we humans treat pets. I don’t like working and suffering through life. Why would I not want an ancient creature to take care of all my needs while I sloth around and do nothing. God, ancient creatures, take me as your beloved pet!

I mean, this is literally what China has been saying everyone should do. They even made a whole video about it.

I guess, more and more people are realizing that yeah, that’s what everyone’s going to have to do.

Wait, polestar only now pulled ahead in Sweden? That’s honestly kind if sad. If your home nation won’t support you, how will anyone else. So yeah good, but this should have always been the trend.

Your right. It could be both. I mean, my wife said to me the other day that she heard Trump was doing the tariffs to lower the bond interest rates. I said while in some types of recessions that’s true, that wouldn’t work in this case and you’d have to be an idiot to think it would. Sure enough the next day Trump puts a stay on tariffs to most of the world because the bond market got rocked. All I could think of is omg, are they really that fucking stupid?

I wish it was that. No, this is actual evil, not incompetence. Trump has turned the US economy into the largest pump and dump scheme ever. Worse, he’s bragging about how his friends made billions. I can’t even believe this is happening. I’m in utter shock. I knew Trump would be bad, but straight up flaunting corruption like it’s a joke and even bringing the SCOTUS on board with this. I’m just gob smacked.
