If you do, in fact, need H100s, they can be very hard to get. Even the smaller flavors of A100 you sometimes request, wait days for, and then 1 node might show up during a weekend. And for the reasons described in the article and the fact t

And people who do prefer to live with cochlear implants face pressure from the deaf community itself. You can't win. This was an achievement. A girl who probably saw this as a cure, saw success. Why can't we just be happy for her

That was already the default situation of copyright. Unless it's fair use, you can't reproduce without license. It's the reproducers who don't care and don't understand.
