There's a book about doing this with Git. I wonder how much of the content is cribbed from sources like that, laundered through LLMs. https://shop.jcoglan.com/building-git/

What about the job is so good as to make you tolerate this?

A lot of games are, including some of the most popular franchises. Sequel mills often become like this
I thought thats exactly what everyone anticipates? "Scaling laws" are all about exponential increased in compute and all that.

Hahahaha. I think for the limited purpose of iterating on elisp code, using gptel or efrit to let an agent run wild and iterate in a live environment could be useful. I'd want to run that in a VM though, and not as my…
Once you get it set up, Emacs is a pretty damn good "agent" multiplexer as well. I use agent-shell with Projectile on Doom Emacs as my main workflow these days, and it works very well even if I have 6 projects open or…
For Nixers, this isn't painful; it's magical! :'D One of the great joys of NixOS is that configuration of existing features is continuous with development of new features. Both are just NixOS modules. In the same way,…
Nah this kind of thing is pretty common for servers or little embedded computers. If you're always building the image on some other machine, there's no compelling reason to include that binary or it's dependency closure…
Packaging for Linux distros is about review, following standards and conventions, authority, and responsibility. (And maybe also sometimes patching for compatibility.) LLMs can sometimes help with some of the mechanical…
openSUSE's OBS and Gentoo's overlays aren't a single shared repo either.
The NUR was sort of convenient before flakes were a thing, but now that there's a really common convention for sharing Nix code few use it. I bet most people who came across Nix in the last 4 years have never even heard…
"One namespace" is also technically true but doesn't work the same way with dnf or zypper as it does with pacman. dnf and zypper both make it easy to be explicit about the priorities of your repos and also to track…
Zypper at least has a notion of "vendor", so you can arrange things so that only the handful of packages you care about will actually come from Packman. Ubuntu actually has first-party repositories with proprietary…
What they mean is probably something like "generates without the presence of any direct analogue in the training data"

Automation generally goes along with a transition to more "self-service" approaches that require the user to model internal states and workflows of whatever they're dealing with. This is even true for things as…
Maybe also worth asking what he's doing along those lines as a father. Probably some interventions are in reach for the state, and there are some other things that parents are best positioned to do. He might have some…
Most of the internal docs I write are basically pointing people to canonical docs that already exist, and sometimes also summarizing docs that already exist. It seems to help, perhaps somewhat surprisingly.
Yes and no. If people read the docs or performed good searches, the questions asked would primarily consist of underdocumented questions, or questions about relatively novel problems. You can still get a vibe for…
