Honestly I’m shocked to be the only one I see of this opinion: HuggingFace’s `accelerate`, `transformers` and `datasets` have been some of the worst open source Python libraries I have ever used that I had to use. They break backwards compatibility constantly, even on APIs which are not underscore/dunder named even on minor version releases without even documenting this, they refuse PRs fixing their lack of `overloads` type annotations which breaks type checking on their libraries and they just generally seem to have spaghetti code. I am not excited that another team is joining them and consolidating more engineering might in the hands of these people

And clearly I say all of this in my name and not my employers name

And I said all of that despite us continuing to use their platform and libraries extensively… We just don’t have a choice due to their dominance of open source ML

Tactically, you are not wrong.

Emotionally, you are an evil piece of work of a human to empathise with a regime that kills tens of thousands of its innocent civilians for the crime of uncovering their hair or criticising their government

Glad to see that tens of thousands of people being murdered for demanding the freedom to uncover their hair and criticise governments leaving them without water is only interesting enough to you for you to say that they don’t need you to help them. Disgusting human being that you are

As in, you’re too stupid to trust Jews in defining hatred against themselves, so now you’re going to note that you are ad-hominem attacking a news source instead of actually relating to what they said or reported on

Seems very cool, but I think that it needs more documentation, and integration with Linear/Monday/Jira would be nice

How sad

And you ignore all of the real Iranians screaming in Iran, at risk of being killed for saying so, for him: “Javid Shah!”. Google it and you will find them

First, I'll have to say that I noticed 15/19 of the submissions you've made to Hacker News have been on the topics of either the Gaza War or the recent protests in Iran. It's weird, just saying.

Secondly, having thousands of protesters chanting your name still doesn't confer state power. State power is in the ability to achieve and retain a monopoly of violence. Khamenei's forces can (and are doing so already) mow down the protesters with machine gunfire, just like the Egyptian Army mowed down the supporters of Morsi in Cairo.

If you can't achieve a monopoly of violence, an asymmetry works just as well since you can impose your wishes on the opposition with superior firepower. That is what will, and is happening in Iran right now.
