Cooking a steak is easy - undercook it's "rare", burn it - it's "Well done". You cant go wrong really.

Touche, a more or less decent pool robot cleaner is around 3k and doesn't last more than a few years without changing every part but the case itself. Ok I take it - it operates in somewhat "hostile" environment but the point

They chose being controlled and not being Reddit - I can imagine lots of ways to do both - still they chose the toxic way and now they are dead, goal achieved.

Did you try to negatively impact their profit? And you expected them to act on it? Are you crazy? /s

thats brilliant - "we gonna take your job away from you, please start using our tools", "we stole the content to sell you, and now we are getting robbed, please feel sorry for us", what's next?

It does actually. I am pro-OSS as sharing knowledge and innovation, I am not sure at this stage I am happy sharing my work with people using LLMs for anything... OSS gonna change for sure.

I reported a fake costco website ad (cc harvester) to Google, their response was something along "we cannot verify the ad", go figure

Not many industries can afford refactoring of the code is not supposed to be changed - additional (unexpected) regression testing costs, risk of downtime, etc. You learn that if it works and is in production - don't touch it.

This is great )) maybe do random templates similar to newspapers (like photo on the left, photo on the right, one block full width, then 3 columns, etc).
