* you're all dumb haters
* AI is a revolution just in the past few months
* yes there were regressions but,
* the new test suite is awesome you haters
* openrsync doesn't pass the new test suite! ha, you fools! well that's cos it targets an older version but,at least it reads like he wrote it by hand
i can pick the particular mastodon posts he's reacting to here
@davidgerard no, like i get it... i don't know their level of understanding about machine learning, so i will not conflate their feeling overwhelmed by the surge in llm-driven issues reporting with lack of knowledge, also I don't know if any maintainer of rsync is trustworthy enough (in their experience) to pass the project to.
but i do think we need to normalize saying a software is complete more often.
what i mean by complete? that it will not get more features and will only get security updates and at a slowed down pace.
the "move fast and break things" did much more damage to to software engineering than we are comfortable admitting. i don't agree with their main points, but I empathize with the thought processes they are putting "to paper", even the subconscious ones.
anyway, let's migrate to openrsync -

@davidgerard it's clear that he doesn't consider any criticisms of his choice legitimate, which rather confirms what his critics are saying.

@dysfun did any of them acknowledge that??

> Also, nobody actually knows if human intelligence is just finer grained stochastic prediction as well.
lmfao yes we do, people are not LLMs

@davidgerard i heard (though haven't seen) that fedora wouldn't take the update and they are all in.

@sharpcheddargoblin he's got a lot to be arrogant about! unfortunately,

@davidgerard "People keep telling me gambling is bad, but what they don't know is this: I have a *system*. These new machines are so much more sophisticated, your ideas about how they work are totally outdated. What do you mean 'am I on cocaine?' Of course I am! It's part of the system, dummy!"
@peter_sc @davidgerard Thanks, this was very funny.

@Li @davidgerard has that “scientists are undecided on climate change” energy
i would rather not read a blost that is entirely product of slopsychosis tbh

@dysfun yeah i went looking and can't find evidence for that one either sadly

@davidgerard you have to find a source for your credibility, i am shitposting either way

@davidgerard and that's how you dig your hole with the help of an fucking excavator.

To be fair, what he writes, for the most part, doesn't even sound unreasonable to me, if I try to ignore the parts that are AI-pilled hyperbole.
@quincy yeah, it looks fine if you remove the context ...

@davidgerard Seems to me that a root issue may be "I don't want to be the maintainer of this package any more - I'd rather be sailing - but I am not taking any (apparent) action to get others to take it over.
I've no problem with a retired maintainer of a bedrock package wanting to avoid spending their life on it. The responsible approach is to look for somebody (or a group of somebodies) to take it over, rather than to try to automate the responsibilities.

@Netzblockierer @davidgerard What happened with Vim?

@Li @davidgerard ah yeah the mark of someone who got one-shotted

> I’m a software engineer with 40 years experience (yeah, I’m OLD!), so ... I thought it would be a good idea to do the core structure for the new test suite in public on master
Ah fuck, he's gone senile.

@davidgerard Well, he has some great accomplishments, sure. Just another case of shitting all over your past successes. Sad to see.
-
@chiffchaff @davidgerard no one made him do it. He did it to himself and now refuses to take responsibility as clearly we are all morons and not Australia's only programmer...
-
@Netzblockierer @davidgerard What happened with Vim?
@hugoestr @Netzblockierer long time maintainer died, his most likely backup had died a few years before, so the new guy was overwhelmed and went straight to the slop machine. Two non-vibe forks, evi and vim-classic.
