The actors running astroturfing will just continue to get direct access. If those sites cared about those things they would have done something long ago. All the verification proce…

You are injecting a lot of assumptions and wishful thinking to view the removal of ownership from this equation as a net positive. I see no reason to assume that this would lead to…

What that always leaves out, however, is that no/little money can very much cause a lot of unhappiness.

Is there a term yet for Rust projects rewriting GPL code to get it under non-gpl licenses? Rustwashing ?

I'd say the "threat" of local models and user independence is currently (successfully) being fought by cutting off the supply and development of general computing devices and hardw…

I mean aside from the somewhat...dishonest statements from the people involved, giving false explanations is one thing, but calling people who smelled this "overreacting" gives thi…

Neither does anyone else, as is being demonstrated currently.

> You won't be 'underwhelmed' long. This has been your constant mantra for 3 years now and is part of the reason people are underwhelmed.

Are you working on compilers? If not it seems you did not understand what is being talked about here. Do you lack fundamental understand of those apps you built that are still in u…

Yeah but Valve is not publicly traded, so that comparison is of course totally unfair! /s Having skilled and happy employees that aren't constantly changing and do not spend all of…

Yeah I also see the potential of LLMs to become the biggest enforcers of general technological and societal stagnation.

I've been running bcachefs on one of my laptops since it hit linux stable. Just wanted to say thank you for all your constant work on it.

Love picocad. Now that picotron is ramping up which basically offers a superset in terms of features compared to pico8: will there be an expanded picotron version of picocad?

Not too long ago I would have agreed with you. That was, for a long time a decent way to enjoy Twitter, even when people were already long claiming it was an unpleasant place. But …

No, not where should it start. Whether that behaviour is acceptable is not the question. In my opinion it is not, but I don't think I should decide because a whole lot of things th…

> can't behave like a good netizen Who decides how a good netizen has to behave?

Something that the page does not seem to comment on: will easy embeddability, like with lua, be a priority for this project? Especially in Zig (obviously). It's the most interestin…

Fully agree. The biggest bummer when it comes to Julia for me is that proper compilation is just an afterthought. And it seems like compilation of portable binaries will remain a s…

If this is supposed to be the biggest single weekend in tech ever I don't know what to say

I agree. Made by the people from Kotaku is not exactly a phrase that would make me want to visit a site.

SBF isn't exactly a useful source on anything SBF does or doesn't do.
