People who want to save their work by moving to a platform without those issues need to be willing to either do the work or pay for it.

"i hate how the current system is"

This is not antisocial.

You didn't talk about being interested in what maintainers were up to. You talked about what your friends are interested in! That's the thing! We need to decentralize the decision making. If your friend is juggling some patches, some feature branches atop code you use, that is interesting. We seem to both agree that we do want to have interest & awareness.

We've only had one model for social ness ever and it's created enormous pinch-points, enormous thin-waist problems for getting stuff done. The maintainers themselves keep saying they can't handle the loads, don't enjoy it, don't want to. I think the submission is kind of a bad spirited loser but I'm sympathetic! I just think it's worth exploring pro social options before we all default to shutting down turning off all the exterior signals and going dark, like suggested. That sounds a lot like being a loser to me. Fine, do you! It sucks though, it really does. Everyone should hope aspire to & work for better. Let's discuss what that might look like.

It's also more informative because Pro costs $200 per month. Plus costs $20.

An earlier version of GPT Pro solved a well-studied 60-year old conjecture on primitive sets, without human guidance. Short of peer review, which takes a long time, I reckon this is the best way to get an assessment of the author's book, especially compared to HN commenters' vibes.

Edit: nice of you to edit out the vitriol…

It is at least as much of a mistake to reason about these systems the same way we do a misbehaving compiler as it is to reason about them as if they were conscious beings; at least the latter mistake (which is more or less forced by the lack of appropriate language) does not present the illusion that these sorts of behaviours are mere bugs and misspecifications that can be corrected by applying a chipper junior developer to the task.

  “Styrka, Plikt, let me put you another case. Suppose that the piggies, who have learned to speak Stark, and whose languages some humans have also learned, suppose that we learned that they had suddenly, without provocation or explanation, tortured to death the xenologer sent to observe them.”

  Plikt jumped at the question immediately. “How could we know it was without provocation? What seems innocent to us might be unbearable to them.”

  Andrew smiled. “Even so. But the xenologer has done them no harm, has said very little, has cost them nothing-- by any standard we can think of, he is not worthy of painful death. Doesn't the very fact of this incomprehensible murder make the piggies varelse instead of ramen?”
  
  Now it was Styrka who spoke quickly. “Murder is murder. This talk of varelse and ramen is nonsense. If the piggies murder, then they are evil, as the buggers were evil. If the act is evil, then the actor is evil.”

  Andrew nodded. “There is our dilemma. There is the problem. Was the act evil, or was it, somehow, to the piggies' understanding at least, good? Are the piggies ramen or varelse? For the moment, Styrka, hold your tongue. I know all the arguments of your Calvinism, but even John Calvin would call your doctrine stupid.”

I understand I post big blocks but it is frustrating when someone misunderstands me because they read less than half of my post. There's always the option of "it's too long, I choose to not read it rather than engage with my misinterpretation of it."
