"wtf was all that garbage added for? No user needs to know that we're not doing X anymore, just stick to the fucking prompt"

Y'all are much nicer to the clankers than I am, I see.

Docker isn't used because it helps run unstable programs.

It's used because it combines the entire environment so I know the app runs the same locally as it does when deployed, without needing to install or configure anything on the server.

You just start the image and it runs.

Or perhaps all of the tips and tricks of the CIA has been slurped up into the training data...

But it isn't a race? I feel like maybe we read different comments... It didn't seem they were saying the first was the winner, just that a closed system can never beat an open one.

There's a race? I didn't see that at all in the OP

idk, Who, Trek, Star Wars have been woke since the 60s. At this point, it seems more likely that you've changed woke to mean "anything I don't like". Or you watch too much Fox

Then most of the world has some explaining to do.

Requiring a subscription violates the right to repair. Even for backwater places where the right to repair isn't enshrined in law (like the usa), people still know what the right to repair is, and often refuse to use a paid service what what ought to have been included in the base price.

Ever since Rick found a new voice actor. I wonder if there might be a correlation.

What's the point of going to a murder mystery diner party, if no one gets arrested at the end?

That's a great point. We should roll up some of the privacy laws we've made into actual rights secured by amendments, instead of just wishing we weren't living in a police state.

I'm still upset that we have a TCPA to protect consumers from spam calls, and then refuse to ever enforce it.

I don't think most polling qualifies as statistics, without providing info like selection criteria or number of respondents. Otherwise we'll walk right into another situation like when Trump won an election while polling in near last place.

Or maybe I want something a little more significant than "we asked around the newsroom, and 35% of fox news reporters approve of the current administration". Cool, thanks, but that's not helpful or even a useful datapoint.
