I love what you guys are doing, and I love improving the ML ecosystem, but you’ve godda understand, people see this and think “oh, ok, it’s a small difference, no big deal.” In fact it’s a huge difference.

Picture a person with one arm and without legs. Would you say they aren’t “1:1 in terms of features”? They certainly won’t be winning any races.

And unlike real people, you can’t graft on a prosthetic limb to help this situation. The issue I’m describing here is a fundamental one that everyone keeps trying to sweep under the rug and pretend isn’t an issue. And then everyone wonders what’s going on.
