you will litigate nothing, and if you do you'll be dismissed anyway.

?! isn't _avoiding competition_ a good enough incentive for them to improve their offering?

they claim it's able to run models with 200B parameters on a single node and 400B when paired with another node

okay, i think i understand where the winner gets to control supply chains

i have to say the ascii, feet, and knots were a bit confusing though. these do not seem to be the same kinds of "wins" as what we're expecting to see with this race though. utf8 is mostly the default around the world and airbus is a serious competitor in international markets.

okay, i think i get the cuda situation, but that is only for nvidia. amd is out of luck on that too, just like all companies from asia and europe.

on the previous examples i can see language gave native speakers and advantage in becoming familiar with the technology but on ai i'm not seeing an advantage that would give americans an advantage over everyone else, besides controlling access to the tech.

the reason i'm insisting on this is because i feel as if that argument has merit but i have yet to grasp how it applies to these technologies.

okay, but what advantages do these rules bring to the winner? what would these look like in this context?

i guess what i'm asking is: what was the practical advantage of ascii or feet and knots that made them so important?

it's the purpose of the block, it's intentional, and works wonderfully.

no one is missing the point, it has been state multiple times: when you get blocked you no longer get to reply to that person, and all previews replies are hidden, to them and everyone else.

the one other point that seems to be ignore though is: you are still capable of continuing that conversation on your own terms on you own feed. your posts will not be visible to the people blocking you but everyone else can still see them.
