I don't have specific information about Minions, but I do know about Stripe's architecture and internal tooling.
The article isn't really talking about changes they made to goose, it's describing how they went about integrating goose with the rest of their developer infrastructure (ie. the AWS-based remote devbox system, Toolshed, etc).
This was also my experience. I was a daily drinker, but once I started on tirzepatide I lost all interest. Even after I stopped taking the medicine, I still wasn't interested. I'll occasionally have a cocktail or glass of wine, but it's now a once-a-month sort of thing.
> I don’t understand why we are getting these software products that want to have vendor lock in when the underlying system isn’t being improved.
I think it's clear now that the pace of model improvements is asymptotic (or at least it's reached a local maxima) and the model itself provides no moat. (Every few weeks last year, the perception of "the best model" changed, based on basically nothing other than random vibes and hearsay.)
As a result, the labs are starting to focus on vertical integration (that is, building up the product stack) to deepen their moat.

As much as I wish it were, I don't think this is clear at all... it's only been a couple months since Opus 4.5, after all, which many developers state was a major change compared to previous models.
The models are definitely continuing to improve; it's more of a question of whether we're reaching diminishing returns. It might make sense to spend $X billion to train a new model that's 100% better, but it makes much less sense to spend $X0 billion to train a new model that's 10% better. (Numbers all made up, obviously.)
Ardent AI | Product Engineer | REMOTE (US) | Full time | $180-200K, 0.5-1.0% equity
Ardent [0] is a well-funded, early-stage startup founded by an ex-Stripe engineer and three-time founder. We're building a platform which helps users blend the creativity of generative AI with the determinism of executable code.
We've raised ~$2.5M to date, and we're hiring another engineer to join the team. We're looking for highly motivated and talented candidates with experience working on a fully remote team, a strong interest in artificial intelligence, and alignment with our principles and way of working. [1]
Our interview process is efficient, and we don't do Leetcode or grueling all-day interview loops. We won't waste your time, we will stay in constant contact throughout, and we will get you an answer quickly.
Please note — You must be be a resident of, and eligible to work in, the United States. We are not currently sponsoring visas. This is a full-time, direct-hire position, and we are not interested in working with agencies or consultancies.
You're over-rotating on security. Not that it isn't important, but there are other dimensions to software that benefit heavily from the author having a deep understanding of the code that's being created.
You keep commenting to cite this statute when you clearly have not actually read what it says. Peaceful protest is explicitly protected by the first amendment.
The statute defines a crime that is distinguishable from peaceful protest/1A. You are free to interpret that however you like in relation to what is occurring.
Intimidation, or threat at the very least seems applicable here if you have any idea of what's going on in Minnesota and what these Signal chats are being used for.
Blocking law enforcement's vehicles and their person (I saw several protestors put hands on officers), when they are conducting arrests, certainly seems to fit the bill.
I've seen pictures of someone with a damaged finger. Given the wild differences between video evidence and what the top levels of the administration claim happen, I think a healthy degree of scepticism is warrented.
Could easily have been hurt by their own flashbang devices or caught it in a car door.
The point is to establish that the protest has not been entirely peaceful, which raises the possibility of conspiracy covering non-protected actions. The subthread is about what they plan to charge people with, not about exactly what actually happened and whether it meets legal standards. That's what investigations and trials are for.
Some of these are still in existence. For example, Wealthfront Cash is their HYSA offering, which is still very much a thing: https://www.wealthfront.com/cash
