No, of course not. They just have a big tent that happen to include Nazis, misogynists, and racists. Very different

Who cares? It’s company code. They want AI, they get AI 🤷

How is bun doing btw after their “We used 60 agents and 200k in tokens to rewrite in Rust” ?

2 years and they still don’t know how to prompt…

I’m surprised they moved away from mailing lists. That took a lot of growth.

Probably have a list of reasons why they shouldn’t be in the community either. “They said master branch is OK: drama time!”

Too obscure, I imagine

Not enough people use it to be a target.

Does guix even use git? Are they still on cvs and mailing lists?

nixpkgs as a mono repo might’ve been a mistake, honestly. shithub wasn’t made for monorepos. It doesn’t have a permissions system for it.

So many PRs get a bunch of inane comments that have nothing to do with the functionality to please somebody’s ego, the CODEOWNERS file is nearly worthless as “package maintainers” don’t even have the last say on their own packages, docs are nearly the last of the priorities making it difficult for pretty much anybody but the christened cream of the crop to make changes. It almost seems like the entire thing was made for “job security” - only a few people really understand what’s going on and thus make the decisions. That of course introduces a bottle-neck.

Even if more people wanted to contribute, they wouldn’t be aren’t able to. I think the decision makers like it that way.

I’ll have to think of ways to use this as at the moment, I have no use for it. It is pretty cool though.

So? That’s nowhere near the same thing as what you’re suggesting “AI can just take DNA and make the same person”. Look up what twins actually are. They aren’t just DNA injected into some random person.

No, they couldn’t, that’s what’s being said. If you have a huge state machine with billions of parameters, toggling a different subset can yield wildly different results.

Maybe but there is more to the outcome than just genes. Certain ones can be activated of deactivated and that can be done by epigentics for example. Gene expression is a thing.

The AI would need way more information that just DNA to generate an image of the person.

My previous response to this question.

And she’s trans too, right? Would send DHH in a frothy frenzy.

So are we all.

Because desktops are expensive. You people just can’t afford them. You need to put at least 1k into the PC then another 200 into the screen, then mouse, keyboard, headset, webcam… They are cheaper off buying a phone.

Young people barely own stuff anymore. Their wealth is historically low as the tech barons, land barons, and so on own everything they want: homes, tech, uni debt, subscriptions, everything. And meanwhile the young are expected to work longer hours for less pay. In certain countries their pay is taxed up to 50%, but a wealthy person doesn’t get a salary so they aren’t taxed.

Their parents didn’t do much better either, but they didn’t have it as bad. But it was bad enough that daycare and childcare is fucking expensive, so they shove a phone into the child’s face: now the children know phones from a very young age and are also conditioned to buy one asap because it’s all they know.

So yeah, I don’t blame young people for not owning PCs. Our society has fumbled, is fumbling, and will continue to fumble making it affordable. If we want young people to be more interested in computing beyond telling Claude to write shit for them, we should be worrying about the wealth gap and affordability crisis.
