Nice to see a larger model in their lineup, I've been using Ternary 8B and it seems to get higher TPS than most other similarly sized models on my hardware.
I wouldn't be surprised if their plan is to keep compatible with 5.1 and adopt newer features where feasible/compatible. Luau, another language with the explicit goal of extending Lua 5.1 in a compatible way, has a…
A comment <https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/issues/1475#issuecomment-47...> has already been made on the issue regarding the ternary operator, recommending `if x then y else z` over `x ? y : z`. This is exactly how it's…
Congrats on the 1.0.0 release! Being able to write custom tooling in Luau using the Luau parsing APIs will be awesome. Hopefully it makes updating tools to use new Luau features easier – at the moment I have a workflow…
Finally. The option for me to enable Copilot data sharing has been locked as disabled for some time, so until now I couldn't even enable it if I wanted to.

Are you using gambling as an example here? I don't fully understand the relation. There isn't any way to gamble Robux for more Robux on the platform, and in the cases which are arguable (such as on-platform item…

I'll admit I read deeper into your argument than what you actually wrote. Comparing with a platform like a digital distribution storefront, the infra & support & other OpEx still has to be paid. Could be argued that the…
The problem is that the external platforms that the children progress to generally have much laxer protection systems than Roblox does, and thus end up more vulnerable. I just chose Discord as an example as they're the…
I'd like to hear your reasons for this. From what I see, most discussions on child exploitation on Roblox eventually make clear that the exploitation happened outside of Roblox, most commonly on Discord. Moreover, it's…
The main reason this argument exists is because of Roblox being difficult to compare with other platforms. For the most widely used platforms/engines/storefronts in the industry, the main payout model is that the…
