LLM managing a NixOS install lol

As critical as I am of LLM use, the nice thing about it here is your configs can be version controlled, and rolling back changes is pretty painless.

I'd still want to go through any changes with a fine tooth comb to look for security issues and to make sure I know what it is adding and removing, but it's saner than letting an LLM run amok on a live system.


Hilarious and frightening. I don’t want LLMs anywhere near anything remotely important. We’ve already had to remove a few dependencies from our projects because of CVEs caused by careless LLM usage upstream.

We are so screwed.


Or asking baiting questions just to appear intellectually connected?

Exactly. I'm a little interested to see if perhaps designer's eyes will continue to open to the power of licensing terms and control of their work with the whole AI conversation. The only designers i've heard say they care about open source are on the web side of design.

How dare you bring facts or narrative into question which dunk on the original commenter's upvote-worthy comment

re: other things, I bet I agree.


For many folk's workflows, I'd wager that hypervisors are there and ready. I had a nice time setting up xcp-ng before deciding microk8s fits my needs more betterer; they're just plum good, well documented, and blazing fast.


I think the possibilities are huge with this area. I'd love to see more 'manager' layers that build on top of any 'cloud' system, even a local one, to give you a standard stack that is easy to move. Imagine something that lives at the hypervisor level (that you trust and was mature) taking control of your various cloud accounts to merge them and make it easy to migrate/leave one provider for another. I know that is the promise of terraform but we all want a good, consistent, interface to play with and then build the automation tools on top of. Maybe that is a good direction for proxmox? integrating with cloud providers in a seamless way. Anyway, a lot of promise in this area no matter the direction it takes.


In my experience, somehow the strength in natural language / litigious / prosaic work translated negatively in a way to coding. The verbose, prolific way it writes + the investment into dev tooling by Anthropic resulted in Anthropic's models leading the sycophantic-presumptuous-over-confident frontier. So much so that I still have barely used Sonnet 4.5 thinking.


> Cursor should be a place where it’s impossible to write bugs.

Ha. Does anyone run a total on how much VC funding has gone towards this goal? In aggregate?


vintage army cargo pants on right now, baggy af and ready for any 'portable' device I throw at them


Hell, some baggy pants could fit an entire SNES in them!
