I like the concept of reducing cognitive load for the stream-aligned teams. This means all efforts go towards enabling them as much as possible in supporting the business. It also makes it relatively easy to judge if a platform team is doing the right things.

I think there are other ways to fight authoritarianism. It can definitely include violence, but imo only as a defensive measure. Right now it's all about the offense.
I also don't think Putin or its successor will all of a sudden become non-authoritarian when Ukraine wins back all territory. The threat (and fact) of Russian leadership oppressing people will stay, regardless of how far the Ukrainians push back the Russians. Setting up defenses will be needed regardless of how this war will end.
Right now innocents are dying in terrible conditions over this political play. I understand that you believe that that is less important than winning back territory, to the point that you support creating more suffering and death by letting other parties bring more death machines to the war. I think I have clearly outlined that I value these things differently.

How is it just that thousands of innocents get murdered over some power struggle? Borders aren't real physical things. They're just lines on a map and have no intrinsic meaning. They're a political concept, just like war is politics.
I believe the dignity of human life (or actually any life) prevails over some man-made concepts like borders.
I used to own a moka pot, but it got lost somewhere. I find it difficult to get a good cup out of it, although recently I got to play with a small one in Italy and that produced a really nice espresso sized cup.
Aeropress is my daily driver and it produces the nicest cup for relatively little work. It's a forgiving system and easy to experiment with. I would definitely recommend this over a moka pot.
Because otherwise this war will continue. Zelensky needs to save face, because he has said he won't stop until they reclaimed all stolen territory, including Crimea. Putin similarly needs to be able to spin a story towards his people.
Some (most?) Italians will do a bit of wiping and the move over. I guess you can even stand up and then sit on the bidet without wiping, as you'll wash the whole area anyway?
Aim for de-escalation, create a situation where both sides can save face and settle on borders that support that.
Correct, it's not just regurgitating words, it's predicting which token comes next. A token is sometimes a whole word, but for longer ones it's part of a word (and some other rules that define how tokenization works).
How it knows which token comes next is why the current generation of LLMs is so impressive. It seems to have learned the rules the underpin our languages, to the point that it seems to even understand the content. It doesn't just know the grammer rules (without anyone telling it, it just learned the patterns), it also knows which words belong to each other in which context.
It's your prompt + some preset other context (e.g. that it is an OpenAI LLM) that creates that context. So being able to predict a token correctly is one part, the other is having a good context. This is why prompt engineering quickly became a thing. This is also why supporting bigger contexts is another thing (but a larger context requires way more processing power, so there's a trade-off there).
It's btw not just the trained model + context that gives you the output of ChatGPT. I'm pretty sure there are layers before and after, possibly using other ML models, that filter content or make it more fit for processing. This is why you can't ask it how to make bombs, even though those recipes are in its training set and it very likely can create a recipe based on that.

I asked it to translate 'meeting agreements' to Dutch and it came up with the word 'bijeenkomstafspraken', which is a valid but very uncommon Dutch word (I'm native Dutch and don't think I've seen it before). If I throw it into google with quotes around it, the first page is results with 'bijeenkomst afspraken', where 'afspraken' is used as the past tense of 'afspreken' (to agree) instead of as its noun (agreements).
It btw also suggested 'vergaderafspraken' as a translation, which is a way more common word.
Consumer mindset and thinking of people first and foremost is brought to you by capitalism.
We're not consumers, we're people. Social animals that enjoy living in groups. Owning shit isn't something that makes us inherently happy. Just look at how other apes live. Just think about the things that make you happy.
Endless consumption is a blight. It's killing our habitat. It's killing us.
