We are talking about the instant checkout feature: https://openai.com/index/buy-it-in-chatgpt/

Assuming you visited this "not a well known site" directly, you did not use the "ChatGPT checkout" feature discussed in TFA

The fake product scammers are going to absolutely love people like you. Glad it worked out for you but that’s putting a lot of blind trust in it.

The high performers are usually the first to leave under tighter RTO conditions

Is there any increase in work constraints that wouldn’t cause this? It seems like it just means that industry interview practices are well calibrated and so high performers have an ease of finding another job.

Likely because they are fully aware of the power dynamics in a job and understand of when they are being taken advantage for performative theater.

High performers or non team players? No superstars under agile

Would single maintainers of critical open source projects be a better situation?

Are you not aware of foundations?

The issue is lack of money not lack of legal structure.

Consider ffmpeg. You can donate via https://www.ffmpeg.org/spi.html

How much money do they make from donations? I don't know but "In practice we frequently payed for travel and hardware."

Translation: nothing at all.

If such a fundamental project that is a revenue driver for so many companies, including midas-level rich companies like Google, can't even pay decent salaries for core devs from donations, then open source model doesn't work in terms of funding the work even at the smallest possible levels of "pay a reasonable market rate for devs".

You either get people who just work for free or businesses built around free work by providing something in addition to free software (which is hard to pull off, as we've seen with Bun and Astral and Deno and Node).

There's a wide gap between the arguments "the open source model doesn't work" and "the open source model failed to produce anything as good as uv after a couple decades of python tooling churn". The latter is why people are understandably unsure of where things go from here.

Seems like you're responding to the wrong person. The person I replied to said the open source model doesn't work. Nobody said the thing in your second quote.

I get the point you're making, but the way you introduced it isn't conducive to productive conversation.

I don't agree. If anything, I'd argue that the comments above were a lot less conducive to productive conversation than mine ("Would single maintainers of critical open source projects be a better situation?", "Are you not aware of foundations?", "But sure, the entire open source model doesn't work, lol").

The entire context of this subthread is whether or not the model that Astral was using was reasonable or not compared to an open source approach. From your initial comment, you've been touting alternatives, and the comment I responded to was giving specific examples of where you think the model worked. I don't think you've provided much evidence that there was a good alternative here, and when you're taking an opinionated stance, a productive conversation will sometimes involve people pointing out flaws they perceive in your arguments.

If Claude Code can parse these design documents, I would recommend making a skill to do an adversarial review of the document. Then just generate that review, do some minor edits to make it look like a human wrote it and send it back to them.

Which is fine if we are fine with pretending to do our jobs.

But deep down I know that slop is noise and words no longer represent understanding.

not everything is slop, sometimes you can just use it like a brainstorm session to see if you missed something.

Currently I am wondering how the helium shortage due to the conflict in the middle east is impacting chip production in general.

Reading the article, Lake said this decision is going to be appealed.

The ultimate resolution will likely have to happen at the Supreme Court.

Maybe we need a phrase like ad-machinam to attack LLMs.

I stumbled on a long article post by John Conrad @johnkonrad about War on Rocks on X that explains this mentality. I haven't seen it put this way before.

There will always be a need to drive more clicks and more comments.

sounds like it was vibe coded?
