Nothing. People fearmonger

Funny - same thing here. Got 3 proxmox hosts running, all virtual machines are NixOS though.

I'd love to go full Nix, but between my GF and I, we kinda split the responsibilities: hardware is hers, applications are mine. And there's not a chance she'll give up her Proxmox hosts 😄

Got it automated to a single "provision" command though that will spin up any of my nix VMS unanttended, so I'm happy with that.

There so much misogyny oozing out of your comment, I think I'll go disinfect my screen now.

Hope your friend gets convicted for sending unsolicited explicit content 👍

It's a goddamn stochastic parrot, starting from zero on each invocation and spitting out something passing for coherence according to its training set.

"Not understanding what is happening" in regards to AI is NOT "we don't jniw how it works mechanically" it's "yeah there are so many parameters, it's just not possible to make sense of / keep track of them all".

There's no awareness or thought.

Last place of employment had develop as the default branch. Actually quite liked it. (There also was a main branch, which only got merged into as part of the release flow, so might as well have called it release, I suppose).

Anyway, IMO it communicated "volatile and subject to change" a lot more clearly than things like "head of main" etc

Now THAT is something I wouldn't ever trust.

You misunderstand! It has also turned into basically a hobby (and recently, a job, lol) to manage nix configs.

Those 19k lines are clean, well-structured and DRY, and do describe every little thing about ca. 30 machines.

maniacally laughs while trying to avoid eye contact with 19k lines of nix config

I bike (more carrying capacity) about 9km each direction. (Belgium to Germany, funnily enough.) That being said, not wanting to do so under the burning sun is absolutely valid.

Which is not true, hence my comment.

That's a good faith interpretation, but I've never seen a comment like this that isn't whining "but what about men".

The comment is saying: "oh, so we are pointing out that sending people to places like these is bad when it's happening to women, but not when it's happening to men", which is whataboutism, derailment, and a misreading of the article.
