Hi everyone!

I saw that NixOS is getting popularity recently. I really have no idea why and how this OS works. Can you guys help me understanding all of this ?

Thanks !

      Rule or not, it’s pretty lame, look at the size of your post compared to how much info it gives, had you copied a article from some basic linux news stite, it would have given mostly the same output, now think about what linking a page to an article about nixos as a response to op trying to start a conversation about it would look like, rude.

      I use an LLM to edit everything I write.

      May I invite you to consider the pitfalls of such an approach?

      Does this mean I have to label everything as LLM-generated?

      Yes, that would be reasonable imo

          Why don’t you label your name in every answer

          You mean like a username that is listed in the header of every post and comment?

          Why don’t you label your name in every answer, so we can check if you are hallucinating or making things up?

          What?

          I’m also curious why you feel the need to have an LLM edit your writing. What did you do before an LLM? And what benefit do you feel the LLM writing your comments is offering you and those reading your comments?

              Why are you defensive? If you felt it was actually helping, you should be able to articulate how.

                  Nobody is writing sentences with autocomplete, much less entire comments. It corrects spelling, or at most homonyms or the like. Nobody is starting a sentence and pressing autocomplete to see where it goes.

                  And you should have to explain why you are using an LLM. Other people aren’t, and they’re doing just fine. You’ve said you think it helps in some way, but you can’t or won’t say why. That is odd to me. Do you not have confidence in your own ability to write?

                  Edit to add: As another commenter said, if someone wants an LLM’s answer, they can just ask an LLM. If you think you’re saving them that time and energy and asking the LLM and relaying the answer, then mark your comment as such (though IMO it’s still useless for you to post that). You having an LLM write a comment and passing it off as a human response is disingenuous at best.
