I can’t tell if you are trolling or just oblivious.

Open search wasn’t precisely born out of the kindness of their heart and their defence of FOSS values… it’s more like a predatory practice to capture market.

Pretty much. But ~95% of US citizens don't seem to be even aware. I'm guessing due to a mix of ignorance and copium.

They seem to be making an effort to not understand.

Do you even Readme? That page is mostly unreadable by a human, is it meant to be read only by AI?

You should really work on demonstrating the value proposition before asking the user to create an account. If you just want to harvest emails, allow a passwordless trial and full usage only once the password is set (and the account created). Why would I create an account when I already have free playlist and sleep sound services?

> There are other indices if you want to compare historical prices relevant to moon programs

Could you please expand or give a few pointers on those indices? Or where could I learn more about this.

I thought it was the other way around. First little alchemy, then they used an LLM to create a better version of it.

You seem to have missed the point there. Your boss has already invited you as the expert ( hence the pay and responsibilities), and your boss does not want to solve his problem, he wants you to do it.

But sure, you can can take any random line of any text, make up a situation with a different context and ensure a different result than the author.

Looks like you completely made up the interpretation that you wanted and fitted your point. Your point can be valid, but it does lose strength when your interpretation of the previous comment gets both points backwards.

Your post reminded me of “Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” from G. M. Hopf

I think the scandal with truffle is that even refined palates can't find it. Even the most refined restaurants that use actual truffle, are forced to add the fake thing, or most customers won't be satisfied with the dish.

Exactly, it's a forum not Twitter/reddit. Without references and citations this is no better than a bunch of random words, and it's hard to make any argument of substance.

The person asked for citations, leave it be, stop dudexplaining how Internet works for you please.

I call bs on your 2 comments.

are polyfills solved just with core-js ( https://vived.io/fascinating-story-of-core-js-frontend-weekl...), or is it because people don't support as many different browser engines these days?
