I don't know zig well. What's raising flags for you?

The commit I linked shows that it didn't even read the user name and email from git's config file, but used a test name, which means it's woefully incomplete.

Then there's stuff like this: https://github.com/hdresearch/ziggit/blob/master/src/cmd_bra...

It's just one giant function. Sometimes big functions are necessary. This one is clearly AI generated and not very readable for a human. This is just from a quick glance.


I had issues too that they sent a tech support out for while warning me "If they find it's your fault, you will be assessed a charge". The tech came out, climbed my local pole and then went down the street and climbed another one. He said it was a busted port and he moved me to a new one, and put in a service request to upgrade as it was out of ports.

CenturyLink sends me a bill for maintenance. After tons of back and forth I got to the point where I said "So can you state for the record since I'm recording this phone call, that I the customer should have climbed the telephone pole to remedy the issue".

After that he finally decides to get in touch with the fiber contractor they use who emphasized it was no fault of my own and they cleared the charge.


Some pretty interesting stuff that hits home for me. I was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2021 and I had an army of family and friends trying to find me a covid vaccine when it was only being offered to seniors 65+. Finally had a friend volunteering at a vaccination clinic which had some leftover and called me in. I wouldn't have considered it might impact my cancer treatment outside of them being unable to operate if I had covid.

Yup, went to Haiti and had my antibodies tested for Tdap and MMR before going. One of them I had to get titers for...I think Tdap?


Disingenuous take.

Here's the original study: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09655-y.

There's a marked contrast between vaccinated and unvaccinated survival rates, and they pretty extensively tested and ruled out additional mechanisms they thought may be influencing their observations.


Aim small, miss small?


It is, which I'd argue has a time and a place. Maybe it's more specific to how I cut my teeth in the industry but as programmer whenever I had to ask a question of e.g the ops team, I'd make sure it was clear I'd made an effort to figure out my problem. Here's how I understand the issue, here's what I tried yadda yadda.

Now I'm the 40-year-old ops guy fielding those questions. I'll write up an LLM question emphasizing what they should be focused on, I'll verify the response is in sync with my thoughts, and shoot it to them.

It seems less passive aggressive than LMGTFY and sometimes I learn something from the response.


Instead of spending this time, it is faster, simpler, and more effective to phrase these questions in the form "have you checked the docs and what did they say?"


Carl Hewitt has been championing it for a while https://arxiv.org/abs/1008.1459 https://youtu.be/7erJ1DV_Tlo


I was diagnosed with stage III NSCLC February '21. Radiation, chemo, and a bilobectomy. I had the ALK+ morphology which meant I wasn't a candidate for immunotherapy but I've been on alectinib since my surgery in June '21 with no signs of recurrence so far.

The process is grueling in hindsight, but I'm glad to hear you're getting results. At first I would have said "if this is going to kill me, make it sooner rather than later" to avoid a drawn-out painful experience, but I'm starting to appreciate what the buying time really means. It's hard with all that's going on but get your head straight and make sure you enjoy it.

Keep on keeping on.


Which container extension are you using for domain grouping? I've been looking for a good one


https://gitlab.com/NamingThingsIsHard/firefox/bifulushi

It's a fork of kintesh/containerise which seems unmaintained and had case problems.

It's not on FF addons site - so please satisfy yourself that it isn't doing sinister stuff before installing.
