I remember a conspiracy nut telling me "the truth", saying not to believe what the media told me, and do my own research. And then proceeded to point me to a few conspiracy influencers that were telling him what to think. It was very ironic.

To be fair, some people will always default back to "the Jews" any opportunity they get. That's not specific to this movie.

> And for in-place edits, you can review "git diff" for surprises.

I don't let AI touch git anyway, and I always review the diff after it generated stuff. If it modifies my documentation, I always want to check if it messed with the text instead of just added formatting.


This. I know the LLM agents often have their own little diff viewers and edit approval workflows, but for a high volume of code, I cannot imagine actually reviewing everything without leaning on much more capable Git tooling.

I use Magit, and up until I started using LLM agents it was mostly a nice-to-have that I relied on casually. (I was definitely under-utilizing its power.) But for reviewing, selectively staging, and selectively rejecting the changes of an LLM agent? I feel like I'd die without it. Idk how others manage.


It reminds me of the footage of Doom running on a pregnancy test. And then it turned out it was another computer just displaying to the build in AMOLED display.

What was supposed to be a cool achievement is rendered pointless when one of the key elements is offloaded elsewhere.


This is about as Monthy Pythonesque as it's going to get in here.

They did add nuance to that quote a long time ago. It's a good stance, it's fine if someone knows something to be true. But other visitors of Wikipedia don't know that, so anything that's added without a source is questionable.

I'm somehow reminded of Wile E Coyoto running off a ledge, staying afloat until he realizes there is no more ground under his feet.

I saw the title of the post, and I knew somebody would have referenced it.

I already saw fossilhub.io mentioned in this thread, actually.

That still sounds incredibly vague and open for interpretation. For example, is setting up md files defining how you want things to be written enough?
