You probably already know/have done this but just in case (or if someone else reading along isn't aware): if you click the timestamp "<x> ago" text for a comment it forces the "vouch" button to appear.
I've also vouched as it doesn't seem like a comment deserving to be dead at all. For at least this instant it looks like that was enough vouches to restore the comment.
It wasn't downvoted - rather, the account is banned (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42653007) and comments by banned accounts are [dead] by default unless users vouch for them (as described by zamadatix) or mods unkill them (which we do when we see good comments by banned accounts).
Btw, I agree that that was a good comment that deserved vouching! But of course we have to ban accounts because of the worst things they post, not the best.
Q4 vs Q8.

I am not sure why TacticalCoder's comment was downvoted to oblivion. I would have upvoted if the comment wasn't already dead.

I mean, nothing ever actually scales linearly, right?

Seems indeed like a good price compared to $6000 for someone who wants to hack a build.

The Q8 model will likely slow this down to 50%, probably not a very useful speed. The 6k setup will probably do 10-12t/s at Q4.
