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…

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…

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 '…

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 w…

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 fac…

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 d…

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…

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 …

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…

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 professionalis…

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…

-> 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 leas…

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 l…

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. Ra…

You just happen to hold this 'middle position' I imagine?

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. …
