Let me put this in a way you might understand. Person A: My machine needs 4 GPU to train this model in <6 hours. Person B: There are 1000000 GPUs in Japan. D

Let me put this in a way you might understand. Person A: My machine needs 4 GPU to train this model in <6 hours. Person B: There are 1000000 GPUs in Japan. Do you see how that's not helpful?

If only training your model was as important as keeping people off the streets.

Are you suggesting that there are vacant homes in Japan that it wouldn't make sense to house US citizens in, or just saying random stuff?

  The empty dilapidated homes are in rural Vermont and flooded Louisiana. If you want to force people to move there, fine. I'd rather they be granted an chance to live in high economic mobility areas like NYC, SF, and Seattle without having to have wealthy parents.

    According the tfa, vacant houses are in Florida, California, Texas, New York, and North Carolina, in that order. edit: then Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Ohio, Illinois, Alabama, South Carolina, Virginia, Missouri, Tennessee, Arizona, Wisconsin, then, finally, Louisiana.

      These states are massive. The rural parts might have homes. Meanwhile NYC is <5% which can barely manage to support people moving around within the city, never mind other people trying to move into the city. https://www.thecity.nyc/2022/5/17/23108792/nyc-apartment-vacancy-rate-housing-emergency https://www.thecity.nyc/2022/5/17/23108792/nyc-apartment-vac...

It's pretty helpful when the solution people want isn't the one always insisted upon. Spread the things out and create new, smaller hubs instead of always pushing people into existing hubs. You'll hit the limits at some point, unless the answer has become to slowly grow a metropolis outward to something of a bigger scale. Of course, that's the exact thing which is hardest to do, since economy is king and economic incentives don't align with that proposal at all.
