7·2 days agoAnd here I thought “people being easy to replace with a small shell script” was a joke…
If it’s any consolation, Astral was apparently already funded by our favorite Silicon Valley crypto-fascist and egghead cosplayer, Marc Andressen.

Second, to our investors, especially Casey Aylward from Accel, who led our Seed and Series A, and Jennifer Li from Andreessen Horowitz, who led our Series B. As a first-time, technical, solo founder, you showed far more belief in me than I ever showed in myself, and I will never forget that.
That’s an unfair characterization. I think a lot of those scripts are written in python.
I don’t know why, but it still amazes me how fast some people have went full crackhead with LLM’s:
I can’t see the “reasoning” trace in the link. Do you need to be logged in?
If you have to swim in raw sewage, you shouldn’t blame yourself when some poop gets in your mouth.
Right? Like he never heard of MIT or Apache2 licence.
You could argue that for example AGPL3 is non-commercial in practice due to the requirements to disclose code. But even then.
Thank you, should have checked that.
Stop the presses. Dude who’s into LLM’s has shit takes about open source software.
Apparently OSS devs that publish under non-commercial licenses are shutting people out?
Definitely some bespoke what the fu-

In a moment of weakness, I took the bait.
Didn’t get banned yet, but here’s hoping. He be mostly posting cringe lately anyway and my timeline could use some cleaning up.
to say nothing of the violence that necessarily follows a boots-on-the-ground occupation
I doubt there are going to be boots-on-the-ground. Not for any good reasons, just because Trump lacks the commitment (or even capability of commitment).
I love* how the AI stans never get tired of proselytizing.
The result was about 25,000 lines of Rust, and the entire port took about two weeks. The same work would have taken me multiple months to do by hand.
*Love, as in: "I love to get my eyelids scraped with a cheesegrater.
The article tries to fact check Asha Sharma’s (the new CEO) claim that
fertility rates are declining, the average birthrate in the ’90s when we were growing up was, like, 3, and now it’s 2.3, and in 2050 it’s estimated to be below replacement
Unfortunately, they forgot that other countries than the US exist and didn’t occur to them that she could be talking about global fertility rates. In which case the claim is pretty much correct.
Embarrasing.
Broke: The METR studies are the best research on impacts of AI productivity available today.
Woke: The METR studies are hot garbage.
Bespoke: Both. It’s both.
Apparently some of our AI Safety cult “friends” are planning a protest in London on 28th of February.
Is it going to be something worth critically supporting instead of the usual criti-hype? Possible, but not likely.
The AI Safety movement is finally changing by

I used to be a quantum scientist and now I’m a YouTuber. My parents are thrilled.
Oh, okay.
Also curious that they’re not protesting Anthropic on the thumbnail. A cynic would say they’re giving them free pass because they say the right shibboleths.

Oh I get it now. I thought there’s some backstory that either Nathan Baschez or Simon Willison lied about having a CS degree.
You have a level of faith in humanity that is completely unwarranted.
I know, but there’s just so much to sneer at (especially lately).
