you seem to be (someone who wants to appear) more experienced. maybe you could give constructive feedback rather than ridiculing. what a negative comment just to feel better about yourself. sad.

one might awk how much logic one can bash into a script before leaving the beloved shell

Honestly interested about your arguments here. While unprepared, i'd actually be guessing the opposite, saying that most people are guessing most of the time.
There are plenty of things I know that have nothing to do with guessing.
I understand the incentives to pretend these algorithms are even approaching humans in overall capability, but reducing human experience like this is embarrassing to watch.
Go do some hallucinogenics, meditate, explore the limits a tiny bit; then we can have an informed discussion.

Seems like you were very much guessing what i believe. And you were not right.
I don't agree with the people who think LLMs are close to human-level-anything. But i do believe, many smarter people like you, who i agree with in the most part, do underestimate how much of what we do and believe is the result of insane, yet still just, information processing & most of what brought us so far, is instinct. The brain is good at providing stories to make us feel in control. But given enough human experience and time, one will be surprised, what artificial systems can emulate. Not to mention how much of human behaviour is emulation itself.
Whenever i am in a new country, i hit the first bookstore in the city centre. Child section often has disney books or similar. Sometimes even bilingual versions. I recommend it.
No idea how to order my food, but if i ever need to find my son, who's a clownfish, and was kidnapped, and i need to do it in italian, i am ready.
> You can have a full and extensive api backend in golang, having a total image size of 5-6MB.
So people are building docker "binaries", that depend on docker installed on the host, to run a container inside a container on the host– or even better, on a non-linux host, all of that then runs in a VM on the host... just... to run a golang application that is... already compiled to a binary?
Sure but a Docker setup is more than just running the binary. You have setup configs, env vars, external dependencies, and all executed in the same way.
Of course you can do it directly on the machine but maybe you don't need containers then.
In the same vein: people put stuff within a box, which is then put within another bigger box, inside a metal container, on top on another floating container. Why? Well, for some that's convenient.
Tip: you could also forward your ssh agent. I remember it was a bit of a pain in the ass on macos and a windows WSL2 setup, but likely worth it for your setup.
