"The customer is always right" might get misused a lot, but it is correct in this instance.

If a lot of your customers don't like something, it's not something wrong with the customers.

It is literally taking the Lord's name in vanity.

It's something of the law of averages. At their core, an LLM is a sophisticated text prediction algorithm, that boils down the entire corpus of human language into numeric tokens, that it averages out, and creates entire sentences by determining the next most likely word to fill the space.

Given enough data, and you need a tremendous amount of it for an LLM, patterns start to come about, and many of those end up the ones that we see in LLMs.

Or if you have good hardware that doesn't need the transcoding. If I was loading up h265 video on my server, I'd need to convert it to h264 or something else compatible if I wanted to use it with my iPad, since it's old enough it doesn't support doing anything but software decoding of that codec, and it doesn't have the strongest processor.

Hadn't bitcoin not been viable on GPUs for over a decade? Most of the cryptocurrency hype was mining other coins on GPUs, or using them to do blockchain calculations for NFTs and things.

At the same time, it is trivially easy to strip a + alias, so I'd not trust it to do anything much at all.

Dr. Pulaski offered to replace his eyes with ones that wouldn't give him a migraine, but he turned them down, because their capabilities weren't as superhumanly good as his visor, back in TNG's S2.

To a lesser extent, so did the Lorax's Aloysius O'Hare.

The anti-vegans, who are strong proponents of an all-meat diet.

That would make sense, if they were doing something like tracking how often and what categories trigger their moderation filter.

Just in case an errant update or something causes the statistic to suddenly change.

And this was with war-capable vessels in the most hierarchical type of organization. Can you imagine what a shit-show the non-Starfleet federation is?

Probably depends a bit. Starfleet is not the only organisation with their own ships. We know a lot of alien worlds maintain their own vessels, like the Medusans.

Plus the first two seasons basically had the producers get fired, and a new person brought in partway through.

That would be bad for any show.
