Not at all. I know it's not a good reason, or a valid excuse, but I had a really bad couple of days and after my head cooled I felt awful about taking it out on you, especially after finding you really AREN'T a native speaker. 100% my post was completely out of line. Hope it wasn't too disruptive to your day.
(Duplicating here to ensure you see it) I apologize. You’re right. That response was out of proportion and I let some nitpicking drive me to an inappropriate level of escalation. You in particular didn’t deserve to have the full brunt of that put into a direct response to you - you were the most reasonable commenter here. I was out of line.

I COULD take this bait, or I could satisfy myself that 325 people had absolutely no problem understanding how a megaphone doesn't need to be a LITERAL megaphone, and go about my day. I know which I'm gonna do, and wish you luck in whatever you've got on your plate, my needlessly confrontational friend.
"Here's how to turn on a new feature whose settings your devices will magically forget for no reason once or twice a year, and occasionally lock your UI for several minutes while phoning home. Also make sure you replace ALL of your devices frequently with ones with the newest Android versions, because we're CERTAINLY not going to support this feature on anything older than the jar of spaghetti sauce in your fridge, which you'll find out when one of them just stops being compatible, which will happen at the WORST possible time when you're in an important meeting or having your last phone call with your dying grandma or something."
In the sense that it's a matter of being in the right place at the right time, yes. Exactly the same thing. Opportunities aren't equal - they disproportionately effect those who happen to be positioned to take advantage of them. If I'm giving away a free car right now to whoever comes by, and you're not nearby, you're shit out of luck. If AI didn't HAPPEN to use massively multi-threaded computing, Nvidia would still be artificial scarcity-ing themselves to price gouging CoD players. The fact you don't see it for whatever reason doesn't make it wrong. NOBODY at Nvidia was there 5 years ago saying "Man, when this new technology hits we're going to be rolling in it." They stumbled into it by luck. They don't get credit for forseeing some future use case. They got lucky. That luck got them first mover advantage. Intel had that too. Look how well it's doing for them. Nvidia's position over AMD in this space can be due to any number of factors... production capacity, driver flexibility, faster functioning on a particular vector operation, power efficiency... hell, even the relationship between the CEO of THEIR company and OpenAI. Maybe they just had their salespeople call first. Their market dominance likely has absolutely NOTHING to do with their GPU's having better graphics performance, and to the extent they are, it's by chance - they did NOT predict generative AI, and their graphics cards just HAPPEN to be better situated for SOME reason.
How many bad forms of transportation do you think he has to saddle the world with to sate his ego about the hyperloop turning out to be a totally unworkable lie?
