Ambulances in USA - $500,000 and 3 year waitlist.
Ambulances (Same chassis as USA) in China <$50,000 and 90 day delivery time.
Difference - UAS Ambulance manufacturing competition has been eliminated by Private Equity. Competition is still full-on in China.
Isn't this mean't to be the other way round?

I know she didn't actually say it but I'm still going with this:
"If I can't dance, I don't want your revolution!"
(Even though I'm painfully self conscious and require chemical assistance to get me out there, it's still true)

I assume the data centers that were planned to go-live in 2026 (but are not) have already bought the Nvidia chips? (otherwise they risked having building, power and racks but no AI).
What is happening to those chips now? I assume 2026 chips will not be popular in 2027/28?

This kind of technology is one of the reasons that sodium-ion is going to scale much faster than the people focused on relative prices of Lithium think. (It is MUCH harder to build passively cooled Li-ion BESS (if its even possible above very small sizes))

The resource issues will be partly (mostly?) solved by the new open source/weight models coming out from China; focusing on running on fewer resources &, as a side benefit, breaking the big US players' business models.
OTOH anyone using the current crop of LLMs (me included) are implicitly accepting that LLMs are allowed to pillage the knowledge and creativity of real people for the profit of a few oligarchs.

I like it. It's wrong in the absolute technical sense, but we do that a lot, and it captures the "same but different" vibe.

Smart move, I guess it makes sense, can't have all those foreigners using up all the views.
