Not sure. Some enthusiasm is understandable, but Go and Swift don’t draw out evangelists the way Rust does.

Well, if they make it good, it has a permissive license and future updates and forks can take it private.

My grandpappy started this here AI company with a handful of GPUs he whittled himself, and I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let big gobmint regulations cost us the family business!

That looks like just choosing to violate the GPL because you want to.

10 I guess, but just because I can doesn’t mean it’s fun to do all the time. Requires deliberate effort.

Not even sure hateful bigots are the hardest to empathize with. Everyone has hated someone or felt disgust before. That’s sort of an ‘in’ to the mindset.

I have a harder time with people like the Paul brothers or Mr. Beast. People who seem to have desires without beliefs.

What’s this got to do with women?

I suspect they’re going after .is because they are more resistant to taking things down. But that’s speculation on my part. And even if I’m right, what is it that they actually are trying to remove?

I definitely saw lots of ads on AliExpress for gels that would regrow your teeth before their algorithm realized I wasn’t there for that.

No for real, why? Why are they persuing this?

It is a bit frustrating how these different technologies are bunched under the same inaccurate moniker.

Depends on my goals, but effectively I could (if I understand correctly): I would almost only ever go in 0-time mode, and use it to rest, learn, or gain OP skills. Unless trying to escape someone.

I would use limited run media for super-fast travel.

If the article is to be believed there’s also a provision there saying that they cannot engage in any programs that advance or promote DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion). That part’s new, and it’s honestly not well defined. What is DEI? Racial quotas and discrimination? Cultural acknowledgements? Anti-discrimination? All these things have been called DEI. Some of these things have been called the other. Without clarity, the likeliest definition is “whatever annoys the administration”.

This exemplifies why the provision is so bad. DEI is a term of art, not a specific thing. Everyone is proud of PyPI for standing up for whatever they think DEI means, but they don’t define or explain it so it doesn’t actually mean anything. Or rather it can mean anything at all. That’s the danger to the organization.

The way it’s written it’s impossible to know if you’re complying or not. They might have just said “don’t be woke” or “don’t piss us off”.

An administration that uses LLMs and Ctrl + F and vibes for policy decisions that don’t sound good even before you realize they don’t make sense, and ignores courts and due process… it’s a hazard to touch.

Yet another horrible thing that apparently exists. Boooo.

Especially in light of how incompetent this administration is, and how bad it is at clearly communicating ideas, they made the only sensible choice. Maybe there’s more details in the grant terms itself, but from the article it looks like it just says “don’t advance or promote DEI”, and without explicitly defining what they mean by that they are setting up a trap.

PyPI is smart not to take the money.

The risk is real, but it depends. If it goes pubic it’s all over. If it stays private or worker-owned it stands a chance.

I will see people do this for other FLOSS developers, and I think it’s bad in those cases too. I don’t want to name them because I feel like that’s not worth the effort and frankly we shouldn’t give any attention to complaints about a dev’s personal opinions or character.

By contrast, I respect the critiques of his actual software, which mostly seem to be fair. I do wonder how much people would even be looking into it if they didn’t have strong opinions about his opinions, but as long as it’s accurate that’s what matters.

Dhh has bad politics. Not sure about the software though.
