Good, nginx and apache are better off, especially after how you dealt with this thread. Maybe try using AI for your arguments next time? I'm sure the slop machine could do a better job.
You miss my point. My original comment says as much, that the subsidies all went to big telecom, but it should have gone to local utility districts for local buildouts of fiber. I'm literally sending this message from my LUD-funded fiber that my state subsidized, and my ISP is a local company exclusive to my county's fiber network. It's fantastic, and what should be getting the funding instead of Comcast, Time Warner, and now SpaceX.
Most of the addresses my LUD serves are unincorporated, including mine. So, it actually is possible, if your state and county give enough of a shit.
That's what the subsidies are for. Plus, fiber does not necessarily need to be upgraded after installation (especially rural, where there's less customers in general). It's not copper or coax, it doesn't have the same limits, and can usually handle huge amounts of data (the limit primarily being the transceivers at both ends). The costs of upgrading would also likely be lower than the initial install, something that couldn't be said about providers like Starlink. Fiber is about the most efficient, cost effective (especially in the long term), and future proof way to provide internet. Starlink is overall much more expensive to maintain.
But yes, without the local, state, and/or federal governments supporting it, people in rural areas won't have a choice.
Fiber should be deployed to rural addresses like yours (and should've been a long time ago). Instead, that money was funneled to the likes of Time Warner and Comcast who never even followed through on their part of the deal. Now, SpaceX is getting funneled the cash.
I'm super thankful that WA State supports and gives assistance to counties building out public LUDs for fiber access, many paying attention to rural communities first. I escaped Comcast two years ago because of it.
That's still something that may happen. Just because you think that third party is more likely to go away doesn't mean it will happen. So yes, you completely avoided my point and continue to do so. You even used "might" earlier. That sounds a lot like may to me.
There is. It's the original development team of the project.
The one that got discontinued, you mean? It didn't matter that it was "first party" as it still got the axe. This fork has existed for multiple years now, and may end up having a longer life than the "first party" one had.
Current gen models got less accurate and hallucinated at a higher rate compared to the last ones, from experience and from openai. I think it's either because they're trying to see how far they can squeeze the models, or because it's starting to eat its own slop found while crawling.
Quadlets are so good.
