Do they? I wouldn’t be surprised if their margin was 0.25% but they‘d still be charging it on top of the benchmark rate (~4.8% now) otherwise they’d be losing a lot of money overtime

Or you never do that. When you die the cost basis is adjusted and you children don’t have to pay any taxes even if they sell.

But, yeah since it’s not actual income taxing it makes no sense. IMHO a wealth tax above a certain (high) threshold would be far more reasonable

I would certainly expect any person to have the same reaction.

> So, it started its chain of thought with "Interpreting the riddle" (smart!).

How is that smarter than intuitively arriving at the correct answer without having to explicitly list the intermediate step? Being able to reasonably accurately judge the complexity of a problem with minimal effort seems “smarter” to me.

You’re right about that but it seems that it’s pretty clear that not being in the compute GPU game is an automatic loss for them (look at their recent revenue growth in the past quarter and two by in each sector)

In rational world their stock price would collapse if they don’t focus on it and are unable to deliver anything competitive in the upcoming year or two

> of the market where they're doing much better than nVidia?

So the market that’s hardly growing, Nvidia is not competing in and Intel still has bigger market share and is catching up performance wise? AMD’s valuation is this highly only because they are seen as the only company that could directly compete with Nvidia in the data center GPU market.

Not an argument. Plenty of things seemed like they will progress/grow exponentially when they were invented yet they didn’t.

> Same applies for AI

Perhaps, but why?

Unlike many other countries. I live in Europe and certainly don’t need provide an ID without a cause or even carry one with myself

I doubt that. Last gen Intel/AMD cpus are pretty fast these days.

I’m not sure you can get something like that for $800?

> some people are stuck with the impression that all Windows laptops are stuck in 2006

No, you can can certainly get very nice Windows laptops for 30% less than equivalent mac or so. I was only doubting the price

Sure but at that level you usually get poor build quality and/or thick plasticky chasis and a horrible screen

It would still have a garbage-tier (relative to mac) 1080p screen? Of course upgrade to OLED is only ~$250 which isn’t that bad

The E15 is way too plasticky for it to be a fair comparison also the screen is awful.

> But the prices I mentioned is before you even do that!

While it’s on sale sure. Otherwise the price is much, much higher https://www.lenovo.com/fr/fr/configurator/cto/index.html?bun...

Which is not a lot.

> superior build quality

Is that really true? There are PC laptops with comparable or only slightly inferior build quality.

> And on top of that it runs completely silently.

That great. But it depends on your use case, thermal throttling can certainly be an issue. Also Intel/AMD have mostly caught up performance wise.

So they wouldn’t buy any macOS licenses unless they are <$50 either? Which makes it totally not worth it and would result in a significant decline in revenue for Apple

Missiles are extremely expensive and you’ll soon run out of them during a long war of attrition (especially in a symmetrical conflict like in Ukraine)

What makes you say that?
