> Too bad there's not really a ML/AI ecosystem around (besides Spark, which seems to be losing favor partially because of its embarrassing performance), because using Python is such a drag. I think it's not that bad. Sure, it loses to Python, but that's some tough competition. Personally, I find that smile[1] covers most use cases. Breeze[2] also has a lot of love, but I'm not much of a fan of the `UFunc` abstraction. I'm also really excited about polynote[3]. It's still a bit green and only supports Scala 2.11/2.12, but it's such a joy to be able to use Scala in notebooks :). You also get Python interop, in case you need to use some specific python library. P.S.: I hope that Scala's ML/AI libraries other than Spark keep growing, because "embarassing" is a nice way to describe it's performance on everything that's not a "really-huge datas

I don't believe the goal was to decrease criticism of YC on HN, I believe that part of the goal might be to reduce HN comments which have provided fodder for criticism of YC in other media. Being specific, assorted feminist critics of YC/technology have complained strongly about HN comments being skeptical, not toeing the party line, etc. In the mainstream media, it's not too hard to blame YC/you/Altman for views that commenters here might express. Similarly, such critics have also complained about cursing/mysogyny/racism in github repos and implicitly attributed them to Github, Inc. (For example, I don't work for github, but github could be blamed for the fact that "I have no fucking clue why this speeds things up": https://github.com/scalanlp/breeze/blame/master/src/main/sca... ) You suggested in some previous discussion on this that

people who use the endorsing power incorrectly (I don't believe this was clarified but I haven't followed this endorsement thing closely [1]) might lose the power to endorse. Combining endorsement with filtering the "bad" endorsers could certainly work to steer the sort of comments that are endorsed. Rather than filtering all comments one need only filter the much smaller group of endorsers. If you say this is not the goal and the plan is not to do this, I will drastically reduce my estimate of the probability that this is the goal. But at the moment I don't find it implausible. [1] Most of the time I waste here is waiting for computations to finish and code to compile. But I imagine if I stopped commenting here I might be more productive, so I'm not personally strongly opposed to changes that might push me away from this site.
