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 !

    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?

      And you ask why I’m defensive. You keep pushing, even though I’ve already told you that I won’t explain myself. If tomorrow, every spellchecker used LLMs to complete phrases instead of words, would you ask everyone to explain why they’re using them?

        I find it more and more suspicious that you’re unable to articulate why you’re using an LLM to write your comments. And since you are pursuing this line of false equivalency between an LLM writing your entire comment, and something spellchecking what you’ve written, I don’t suspect you’re going to attempt a discussion. Maybe bring an LLM here so I can talk to it; it won’t be so obtuse.
