Because there is no single "default instance that is always a good choice and wouldn't go down randomly because of lack of funding". That's both a strong and a weak side of fedi
I think Forgejo is great. But we need to remember the fact that many enterprises pick GitHub or GitLab because they provide paid support and SLA. Also Forgejo Actions are still in beta, while GitLab and GitHub are pretty established solutions for CI/CD
Sourcehut is basically a really barebones web interface for git server, so I don't think it's really comparable to GitHub
For hosting your own projects that's sometimes not a viable solution either. Limiting your open source project to platform other than GitHub hurts it's discoverability, because usually GitHub is what most devs and non devs associate with open source. I heard a lot of "It's not open source if it's not on GitHub". You can mirror your project to GH of course
"Just migrate to X because it's faster" doesn't work that well in the real world
I'm surprised this article is not taken down. OSM wiki states that what3words the company have a good history of taking down code (and maybe articles) like this one, because algorithm (any algorithm that converts any number of words to coordinates) is patented to them in multiple countries
I think that the example in the article is not a good usecase for this technology. It would be better, cheaper and less error prone to have prebuilt forms that LLM can call like tools, at least for things like changing shipping address
Shipping forms usually need verification of addresses, sometimes they even include a map
Especially if on the other end data that would be inputted in this form, would be stored in the traditional DB
Much better usecase would be use it in something, that is dynamic by nature. For example, advanced prompt generator for image generation models (sliders for size of objects in a scene; dropdown menus with variants of backgrounds or style, instead of usual lists)
