ansible is already written in python. Just eliminate the json/yaml and let us use it from python directly.

python (as much as I personally dislike the language itself) has clean syntax for sets, dicts and arrays. Which are the data structures you use in a playbook. Ansible as python instead of yaml can be made to look very similar to current pla

if i memorize the book and go around making money off of reciting it, that would actually be considered an illegal reproduction. This is what llms do.

Horrible framerate and it forgets anything that happened more than 0.9 seconds in the past. And they needed the actual, fully implemented game before they could begin to train it. So just, cut out the middleman, and play the game directl

we can't ever have LLMs reliably parse any form of data. You know what can parse it perfectly though? A parser. Which works perfectly, and consistently.

so it's not the same. Which means that it is not equivalent to what centos was. It's highly, but not fully, compatible. centos was "fully". You can't use it to test on the current version of rhel, where with cento

Ah but I (usually) know when I will probably be wrong if I do give an answer, when I know I'm not familiar enough with the subject. Or if I do I will explicitly say this is an educated guess, at best. What I will not do is just spout

the way I see it is that an llm esis* a markov chain. the only difference is a very long context, and a lossily compressed state transition "table".

everything it adds is by default backwards compatible, because old programs didn't use it, because it wasn't there yet, and so won't break. Python's problem is that the non-new stuff is not always backwards compatible. I
