I pasted the results of typing man rsync into my macbook’s terminal. I looked up the —delete parameter and pasted the entry. Not sure why your entry was more useful - perhaps a version issue (which is at the root of the painful time I have

I am sticking with this reprehensible company for email because their spam detection is awesome and I have found no clear measurements of detection to reasonably compare. I’d love to be proven wrong!

>rsync which is well documented Here is the man page entry for the --delete flag: --delete is used. This option is mutually exclusive with --delete-during, --delete-delay, and --delete-after. Hilarious! Reading and understa

Bah! Coders need to learn to write documentation. The tldr for rsync was hilarious! Actually, this is one place where LLMs are currently useful! Instead of getting LLMs to write code, get it to write documentation.

The “fucking” manual is obtuse, overly verbose, and almost always lacking in super clear real world examples. That you claim it is a <10 min problem demonstrates experts disregard for the degree of arcane crap, a beginner needs to synthe

So I paste the man page into llm and tell it to only give me parameters that are in that page? Even if it obeyed, it would still choke on how to exclude hidden MacOS kruft files from the copy...

tldr pages are a great idea, but the execution is a total fail. Looking at the rsync entry, it fails to provide the most blatantly common requirements: I just needed two commands: one to mirror a folder from one drive to another, updating o

Lots of reasons! First off: where else do I go to learn this stuff? Man pages are reference for people who work in CLI all the time and not for virgin learners as they are are necessarily packed with the complete lexicon but with barely a t

I recently spent over an hour trying to get ChatGPT to give me some pretty simple rsync commands. It kept giving me command line parameters that didn't work on the version of rsync on my mac. With ~50% of the failures, it would go down

I agree and feel that the time is now to archive all of the truly valuable cultural and educational content that YT acquired through monopolistic means. This solution looks interesting, but I am technical enough to know that this looks like

Don’t you use reference tracks? I assume that anyone seriously using a DAW does. Imagine being able to easily reference just one instrument. Just to call out a pretty universal use case for stem separation…

Yes. You basically need an LLM to provide guidance on product selection in this brave new world. It is actually one of my most useful use cases of this tech. Nice to have a way to ask in private so you don’t get snarky answers like: it’s ju

I will definitely check it out then as I am frustrated by the same problem where Apple shows me as asleep when I am meditating myself back to sleep. It even shows me as sleeping when I have pushed the crown to see the time!

I hate this response! Businesses that rely on shitty facebook crap don’t get my business. And hiring someone to make a brochureware website is a maintenance nightmare. Do you work with small businesses much?

What??? It is trivially easy to mess up a website in a builder like this. I am reasonably technical and I have to restore many times when making structural edits.
