I'm a member of the beta. The Slack group regularly sees influxes of hundreds of new customers, many of who seem to have signed up from the waitlist.

What if, and bear with me, strong AI poses real dangers and open sourcing extremely powerful models to everyone (including malicious actors and dictatorial governments) would actually harm humanity more than it benefits it?

Facebook is the creator and maintainer of the most popular web framework in the world (React). This certainly doesn't mean they should do cloud computing, but let's not downplay their favor amongst developers.

Is the cost really that high? For the vast majority of projects, all developers will need to do is run "yarn prettier".

We can't expect everything to be perfect on day one, nor should we be stuck with the poor choices we made when starting a project. Maintainers should be allowed to change their mind after careful consideration and community consensus.

The same people shaming Amazon and Fedex are probably the same people buying a ton of goods online for delivery and getting upset about the delays.

The goal of a side project can be whatever a person wants it to be. Make money. Learn something. Improve people's lives. Creative outlet. Your definition limits people's ambitions.

"almost complete bullshit" is a bit strong. i've read both the book and the Guzey piece and i think the most substantial insight in his rebuttal is that oversleeping can increase mortality risk, otherwise it seems like a lot of “he cited this wrong” or <nasally-voice>well technically…</nasally-voice>. most of the broader themes in walkers book still stand.

> fundamentally this was an ad-tech company

Sure ads are their only real revenue source but the vast majority of engineers there are not working on ad-tech, many of them are working on transformative projects like maps, translate, android, chrome, that drastically improve the lives of hundreds of millions of people. Your view is quite cynical and conveniently ignores the leverage and impact that an engineer can have there.

Ditto, images weren't showing up for me

The Notable + Syncthing setup is intriguing – might have to switch off Evernote and give that a shot. How do you view/edit your notes on a mobile device? Thanks for sharing!

Ex-uber engineer here. Uber's chat app is based on Mattermost, not built from scratch.

Nice. Hows that occasional instance where you need to type your 100 character password into Netflix on a Smart TV?
