Are you talking about this https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/feb/12/women-con... That was 12 years ago. I think probably those feminists are not the cause of GitHub's recent troubles.
You don't think that sudden, radical, and politically motivated change in the core leadership of a company doesn't have long-lasting and compounding effects?

#65The problem is nothing competes with GitHub. I know, GitLab. Gitea. Bitbucket. They have some features, but it’s like suggesting I drive a Nissan Sentra because my BMW breaks down once in a while.
My dude, that Nissan will get you from point A to point B just as effectively as a BMW will. Your analogy is working against you, not for you.
Heck, if I just want effective, I guess I can also email or text patches.

I think you should be able to find a better proximal cause. Like being bought by Microsoft, which happened in the intervening period. That would be a better explanation than feminists from a decade+ ago.

What frontier model did Microsoft train?
https://microsoft.ai/news/building-a-hillclimbing-machine-la...
All benchmarks I could find are Microsoft-reported. I don’t see it listed on any leaderboards. Still, looks interesting enough.
Also, I wonder what this means in practice, especially in terms of GitHub:
> MAI-Thinking-1 was trained on clean and appropriately licensed data, with AI-generated content excluded from pre-training.
Aaaand the question answers itself, because the above sentence is now gone from the page, replaced with:
> We trained it from the ground up on clean, traceable and enterprise-grade data, without distillation from third-party models.

#68Btw, did anyone notice they removed access to "who starred the project" recently. You can only check your own repos, not external ones. It was very nice to find related people before.

#69With SourceHut banning projects that use LLMs[1], I’m looking to migrate this weekend. While I can host Forgejo just fine[2], doing so means no one will be able to contribute to the projects, since federation isn’t a thing yet. Heck, getting contributions on SourceHut was hard enough, and it doesn’t even require people to register an account. I might need to bite the bullet and go with GitHub. Regardless of what I th…
Oh my. I hadn't noticed this, but I've been kind of expecting it. I've been a big SourceHut user for years now. So I'll be having to decide what to do myself. I absolutely get their stance, but I don't see a world in which I will go back to writing meaningful amounts of code by hand again. I may try out tangled.sh. It's really nice to have my code stored and backed up somewhere other than infra I control and manage.
I'm personally pretty excited about Tangled (and ATProto in general), but I do have to caution that I've had some performance issues and some technical ones with hosting my own 'knot' and 'spindle' services

Company: "We're no longer going to focus on merit as a virtue."
Company slowly becomes worse and worse.
Me: "That starting gun surely signaled the start of the decline."
You: "That was a long time ago. Couldn't have been that."
What are second-order consequences?
