For a truck yeah, but across the ocean, it isn't quite that simple because GPUs and grains are sent in different types of ships (or different modes entirely) that aren't interchangeable.
- michaelt 7mo agoYou're right - perishable goods have to be shipped fast. Your bananas, berries, fresh fish, and not-fron-concentrate juice can't be on some slow-steaming container ship with the furniture, clothes, building materials and vehicles. The GPUs can though.
- selectodude 7mo agoAnd the GPUs are such high margin that they all take an airplane anyway.
- kube-system 7mo agoThat is other “different mode entirely” that exists to go across an ocean :)
- kube-system 7mo agoRice is a nonperishable grain. Grain ships in neither of those. Grain is shipped in bulk carriers
