Don't know about the Nürburgring.

However, this is from Car and Driver:

"YangWang U9 Track Edition just reached a top speed of 293.54 mph at a test track in Germany" at the ATP Automotive Testing Papenburg track.

In Germany. Not China.

I've been to China a few times in the last few years. I've been in plenty of Chinese EV taxis or "Didi da che" (their version of Uber). Yes. They are good. Ask a cab driver how the car has been for the last 2-3 years, and they have positive comments. Trust me, the cab drivers will bitch about anything they don't like - from government corruption to speed cameras to the long waits at the airport. After 2-3 years of heavy use, the interiors of those taxis are generally in impressively good shape. They hold up. Some of the interiors would hold their own against a Mercedes E class. Same with exterior fit and finish. Take the badges off, and it is difficult to tell the difference next to a new Audi.

How much of their coding is done by AI?

1. Colleges should screen applicants. If they aren't ready, don't take them.
2. Colleges should fail anyone who can't pass their courses. Fail too many courses, and you are done.

It isn't the college's job to teach anything other than college level courses.

They will build what they want. Not what we want.

What depreciation method are these companies using? What is suggested by GAAP? What is reality ( or how fast are these chips actually going to zero value? )?

My understanding is that most companies use 3 or 5 year straight-line depreciation with 0 residual value for "computers". This seems reasonable for these Nvidia chips. Are they doing something different?

imagine how many more thousands they could save by replacing 200k in toy computers with a real datacenter platform.

Yeah, and none of those or even the sub-$400 new laptops are worth buying when $150 5yo business laptops are available.

It's doubtful that Apple will create anything worth buying in the ~$500 market given the ~250GB storage on their $900 macbook air

Yeah they're whining here about this but they throw captchas relentlessly at those of us on standard net configs too. I would say its even more likely to get a robot accusation on desktop than a doublenat mobile session.

He's gotta leave us guessing because like other competitors MS has bought and killed countless studios and the games they produced.

If it was so capable, so dangerous that we could manipulate people, impact policy, and so on, wouldn't the folks running the systems and advocating for it first use it to come up with a fail-proof way to sway public opinion in it's favor?

Or is it just a non-magical tool with testable and knowable capabilities and limitations and what it does will largely be dictated by how people choose to apply it?

If you make me talk to some AI bot, I'm hanging up and calling the competition. Plus, Salesforce is expensive. If a premium product can't deliver a premium experience, the sale is lost.

They're also never actually free on the scamazon store, it's just a subscription that you don't ever own.

It's coming to light due to the private equity buyout lead by esteemed real estate criminal Jared Kushner. This is likely anti-woke washing to entice a class of customers who have already moved along due to EA sucking for lots of other reasons which won't be addressed.

Why solve real problems intentionally created due to mismanagement when you can just play the culture war card and get a bunch of knee-jerk reactions?

unlikely it will be good for much with less than 1GB memory available. Should be a good reminder that true personal computers are still available and at only a modest cost premium.
