Spoiler: No, they dont. They never do. Reports will say "yeah, probably" and in 10-40 years will change to "oooh well they didnt".

not only does OP imagine a powerful customer base, theyre all aligned enough that one configuration fits all. im doubtful

It literally works this way already, it’s called MacBook.

The MacBook currently has two models, each available in two sizes, each size has three to six default configurations. There are dozens of MacBooks before you even get into the customization options.

Aren't you the one building on suppositions? We know that they don't have flight hours. We cannot conclude what condition they were in aside from that.

to jump from "they could be tired or hungover" to "yeah or aliens" is very dishonest. Especially for a very fresh matter where we know very little, all our assumptions are just that, and nothing we writes has any bearing on anything.

You, and the OP, are being unfair in your replies. Obviously, it's not worthless for all applications but when LLMs obviously fail in disastrous ways in some important areas, you can't refute that by going "actually it gives me codign advice and generates images".

Thats nice and impressive, but there are still important issues and shortcomings. Obligatory, semirelated xkcd: https://xkcd.com/937/

a wonderful thing to do in that case is to either ask, or present your concern as a concern. An expression of uncertainty and fear. Not as a statement, or counterclaim, or by trying to propose a solution to the problem you've invented.

The figurative "you", in this case

for given values of "smarter" and "dumber". i've yet to encounter a smart digital to-do system. most are terrible and pretty dumb. a paper todo is pretty much as smart as you make it.

What "is" JavaScript then? It's not the language specification (that's ECMAScript) and it's not the interpreters (that's Node, Deno, Bun, V8, Spidermonkey…), so what... is it?

And to follow up - how does Oracle use "JavaScript" in trade?

Roman-built roads and the spread of Latin were tremendously important. Noone said they were invented by them.

Yes they did… they edited their comment after I responded and could no longer edit mine.

You just looking for an argument? Its important people know writing and roads weren’t invented by the romans. They are given way too much credit by Americans with imperial ambitions.

Personally I disagree. IMO, devtools were better when competing with firebug, but I haven't experienced much of a difference in the past... 8? years. Something like that.

It also doesn't work properly, since it sets cookies before you make a choice.
