I mean we can't help it if metal wrenches are cold... I guess we could ask them to hit them with a blowtorch first?

I have read many of the allegations against Andre, and find them to fall into: 1) Hyperbolic takes on a perceived 'communication problem' when Andre defends strong design decisions that have impacts on the Ruby ecosystem. Anyone

I think part of that is that it was written from the perspective of the bug that caused the outage ;)

That attitude is exactly the problem. Shopify does not 'keep the ship afloat' they are just a corporation using open source systems as the foundation of their business. Competition is not by definition the backing of a 'con

If this is a conflict of interest, then any Ruby core systems being controlled predominantly by members of the Shopify dev team is itself a conflict of interest. I am fine saying 'we need to make sure these libraries stay independent

They are still trying to sue Andre, that is by definition claiming he did something illegal. The rest is just fluff to cover their insincerity (IMO).

That starts to get into a very philosophical space talking about human action as deterministic or not. I think keeping to the fact that the artifacts (ie code) we are working off will have deterministic effects (unless we want it not to) is

Having used agents some I think 'addictive behavior' is really the closest thing to the feeling it gives me as well. I don't find it engaging my critical thinking brain, and in fact it often subverts that in favor of 'g

How does it 'count almost everything as gambling'? They just said 'non-deterministic' output is gambling-like, that is not 'almost everything'. Most computation that you use on a day-to-day basis (depending on

Then the training itself is the legal question. This doesn't seem all that complicated to me.

A small price to pay for human hands to never be sullied digging through cold food to find things again. Progress.

This isn't strictly better to me. It captures some intuitions about how a neural network ends up encoding its inputs over time in a 'lossy' way (doesn't store previous input states in an explicit form). Maybe saying &#x

I mean, actually not a bad metaphor, but it does depend on the software you are running as to how much of a 'search' you could say the CPU is doing among its transistor states. If you are running an LLM then the metaphor seems ve

It's 'wild' to this person because it challenges their opinion on Musk and Tesla I have to guess. This is a classic 'it is bad reporting because it does not agree with my worldview' take, aka 'fake news'.

He also points out a pointless type check in a type checked language... Your name is very accurate I must say.

If only the Ruby ecosystem was really run by children, that sounds way more for than whatever this is. Joking aside though I think you are very right to question the professionalism behind this post. The narrative spin here is so toxic to

Not only that but they get to use an individual who they have philosophical differences with. You can say it was 'good security practice', tarnish his reputation, and get to switch the narrative to something sympathetic to yourse

-> In my opinion they are now deliberately making the community angry. This is one thing I think hasn't been talked about explicitly enough within the community (that I see at least) yet, Ruby Central seems to be actively trolling t

Sadly mine does :\ Not that I don't support trying to get it approved, but anyone in a large enough corporation knows that approval for an external source often takes... a very a long time lol

Churn is not just rate of commits it is the changing of the same lines/files/functions repeatedly, AI answers seem to get this wrong a few places I checked which is interesting. Rate of change in itself is not 'instability&#

I am so glad someone else called this out, I was reading the napkin math portions and struggling to see how the numbers really worked out and I think you hit the nail on the head. The author is assuming 'essentially free' input t
