It’s kinda wild that an IT Certification company can’t handle Linux, but I’m sadly not surprised.

When do you reckon they could last do that?

Rich asshole says he’ll invent something good but very expensive and so only available to the elite. People ITT: “Good things are bad!”

Yeah so, good for Altman, best idea he’s had probably. Spend the money before the bubble pops my dude.

Oh come on.

This guy couldn’t even get a train to run on time.

Why proprietary cloud-based IoT isn’t sustainable.

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!

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.

2 points: First, considering that the majority of Israelis support what’s happening in Gaza, I’d seek affirmative evidence that they are in the minority opposition. More importantly, unfortunately, is the fact that to the degree that they are successful and make money, their taxes and economic contributions will benefit a government and system that is actively engaging in a genocide of Palestinians, and in the best of time merely oppresses them.

It sucks to have to catch people for are individually decent in a larger boycott, if that is even the case here, but I don’t really see how to disentangle them from the larger Israeli system which, if it continues unchecked, will kill or push out every Palestinian in the West Bank and Gaza.

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.
