AI Agents are starting to write more code. How do we make sure we understand what they’re writing?

PR Quiz is a GitHub Action that uses AI to generate a quiz based on a pull request.

I’m a slut for soup so this is perfect

Huh. Not only is that pretty neat from a nerdy “they did what?” perspective, having a fully reproducible OS setup is definitely very useful in many contexts. No surprise that the first blog post of that series references the classic Thompson Reflections on Trusting Trust paper about his cc backdoor

As someone with an autoimmune disorder, I’m honestly not all that sold on whether that’s a good tradeoff.

Yay, you’re not acutely dying of cancer, but now your body is attacking your internal organs and depending on how shitty your luck is, you can eg. look forward to liver and/or kidney transplants (possibly more than once, too)

I keep saying this but it feels like the Dems are a Russia-style controlled opposition party.

Doesn’t mean 100% of them are garbage, but the leadership sure does seem like it hates the idea of successful opposition

There’s plenty of studies showing that conservatism, sadism, and psychopathy correlate.

Right, yeah, so there’s occasionally a bit more jumping through hoops, but the end result is a much more manageable system where eg. updating thing X won’t clobber the fuck out of dependencies that thing Y needed, and in general you get a more “containerised” setup with a declarative way to set it up?

What’s the upside of Guix vs Nix (except eg. the syntax that @tetris11@lemmy.ml mentioned)?

That does sound like a reasonable ask.

What are the upsides of Guix – in your view, anyhow – that make people be OK with downsides like this? I mean, this does seem like a fairly major downside, so there’s go to be fairly major upsides too, or at least I’d assume so

It’s a weird hill to die on

But at least they’re dead

And at least there’s now one(ish) standard instead of N+1

As someone who doesn’t use Guix, reading this made me wonder why a “consumer” (ie. not someone running eg. corporate infrastructure or whatever) would want to use it, if something as seemingly trivial as this requires that much work.

What I mean is that I’m obviously just missing something, since there’s got to be upsides to the system that make cases like this worth it.

Anybody feel like educating a dunce?

Jesus would be going temple pharisee rampage and shoving their guns up their asses

Bible v2.0, now with 100% more guns in poopers
