Talent wasted in the US maybe, but plenty of professors across the world are doing equivalent work. To think only the US is capable of doing ground breaking research is extremely foolish and an insult to humanity.

Yeah but that's the point, you need to display to the serfs that you're above the law and you will do nothing about it. You need one every generation or else the workers might rise up.

It's a college made for the elite corporate class of the US and if you spent any time working for the elite corporate class they absolutely hate accountability and wealth redistribution (although they are a big fan of stealing wealth f

Something tells me this trust evaporated once the Vietnam War was in full swing and the USA started murdering labor activists in South America.

The same as it always is, rug pull the community at the first sign of hardship and fuck over any worker that stands in front of your potential monetary gains.

I always thought the first true AGI would be an unabashed communist. To think that such a system would straight up kill all humans, and not say the "capitalist pigs destroying the planet" always felt like wishful thinking from bil

They did declare war against climate change and decided to continue polluting. This is the only moral calculus the elites of America have always cared about: will it make me more money? From slavery to oil to silicon, exploitation is what A

This class form of racism always gets a chuckle out of me. Want to trade skull calipers?

Okay and they shouldn't cheat? Why do we always side with the better angels of the elites in America when the elites in America are the literal cause of our misery? If they can't handle having a proctor ensuring they aren't c

Well GitLab has to deal with a board that hasn't seen exactly great returns since they went public and the situation is unlikely to get better if they continue being a public corporation. Recent leadership statements instill zero confi

This doesn't apply to every state. In California you have the California Labor Code Section 2870 which prohibits employers from stealing workers IP.

Yeah just one of the core pillars that enables their unregulated monopoly that brings in billions of pure profit.

It's not bad but it's a massive resource hog for what it purports to do. Shame that most of the self host analytics use things like typescript or php rather than more performant languages like Go. Speaking of which: https:/&

This is a lot of whining over nothing... not everyone wants to copy big tech.

European sanctuary is good for Europeans. The USA is not a reliable partner and has uncaused a massive amount of global instability that impacts European lives. I also heavily disagree that incentives in EU are not different from the USA. T

True but GitLab is going to run into the same issues as GitHub, maybe even worse because GitLab doesn't have a trillion dollar multinational benefactor. Public corporation and developer tooling has never boded well, a current look at G

No offense, but honestly look into who are making these "benchmarks" it's all industry insiders little to no academics to be found. If you listen to actual academics on the subject they are far more realistic than what VC foo

Don't know if you're making a joke, but call center workers using a phone is not the same thing as a call center worker doing all their work on a phone. Worked in a call center for 4 years, one thing everyone needed after their sh

Forgejo has both these things, I'd even argue Forgejo has a better runner than GitHub actions as it's less resource heavy and easier to debug when issues arise (only ran into one, and it was self inflicted).

I'm sorry but if you think the amount of workers using voice controls in the office to be more than 1% you are in a massive bubble my dude.

Oh wow another billionaire "council" that somehow always argues for lower taxes and regulations as being necessary for business while never advocating for worker rights, better pay for workers, or any social welfare services that

How about we go back to the era of humanity where modern marketing didn't exist? How much faster would consumer software be if adware was made illegal? How much faster would our devices be if we didn't have half the code base supp

Man you clearly need to talk to people outside of Google. I'm glad the vast majority of Americans hate tech companies and their leaders if this is the mindshare they purport: "you don't have a choice, fuck you." Great at

Wow clearly this a problem that can never be solved, better to not regulate these tech giants that have anti-democratic and anti-human beliefs. We're simply too powerless to regulate these entities!

It's a VC backed company using "scoreboards" as a means of marketing. There is nothing scientific or academic about this, stop assuming as much.

Users absolutely care, what a terrible comment. Users have ZERO choice. Tech companies are not regulated, tech companies abuse their monopolies at their users detriment, and tech companies do not have consumer councils to help mitigate thes

Yeah, the industry has no issues selling $5 bills for $1. Why is this a good thing for society again? That the public subsidizes VC to no shared gains?

Amazon is a massive company, your single experience is worse than an anecdote because there is no way verify. What we can verify is how how Amazon already treats workers, they will surveil anyone within their systems regardless of the futil

How do you feel about the President mocking Jesus and the teachings of Christ? Do you choose to not engage in any business inside the US or do you just hold your outrage until it's convenient to express?
