it should really just have an interactive mode that supports batching. It would cover 99% of use cases. I recommend everyone ITT to just use Handbrake (a GUI) unless they have extremely niche use cases. What's the point of using a LLM?

I mean the pre-smartphone era when there was a barrier to entry on the internet. It was a nice place. Then everything turned to shit, as it always does, when the ignorant masses caused a context collapse by diluting the previous subcultures

I mean 50% of TikTok is brain rot and 50% is normies doing normie stuff. If you're someone who saw the old Internet I doubt you'd give a shit about TikTok. It feels like a betrayal of what the Internet could have been

And that's the early game. Imagine when AI will be monitoring all internet traffic and arresting people for thoughtcrime. What wasn't feasible to do before is now quite in reach and the consequences are dire. Though of course it w

TL;DR: People with more money than common sense are surprised that LLMs are bad at coding despite not having there been a breakthrough that allows these models to think logically, which is a prerequisite for programming. They take one entir

The only reason anyone uses mermaid is because it's low friction and most editors support it out of the box or through plugins. But its layouting engine sucks and everything requires hacks and workarounds and configuration tweaks to di

The LLM bubble is funny to me because you can see that all of these ideas didn't come from programmers but from people with more money than wit. Why would you use a LLM in any situation where you need factual accuracy is beyond me.

It seems painfully obvious to me that local and remote commits serve different purposes. Local commits are a way to create checkpoints when everything compiles and works and you can move on to the next step. That way you can stash your chan
