About bloody-crow

This account was created as a throwaway to participate in some potentially embarrassing discussions but I got attached to it since I find its relative anonymity liberating.

    News flash: you can tell LLMs how to do shit and they're generally pretty good at following instructions. Those things are good enough to solve novel math problems I've never even …

    I've never seen a GUI that could do anything git faster than me just doing CLI stuff in my terminal. Not even close. > What do you mean with "manually"? I type `git rebase -i head~…

    "Newer cars are much better than older cars". How about this? It'd be weird to ask for evidence of that statement cause it's very generic and there's like a million instances of ne…

    This is a subjective statement. What kind of evidence you're expecting here? Like: — My new car is much better than my old car — Hurr durr, how can you make those confident stateme…

    I actually think it's much easier now when most contributions are LLM-assisted or LLM-authored. Like, at my job we went from wild-west everyone uses their own commit message style …

    I have only about 17 years of experience and I consider myself a moderately advanced git user — I do interactive rebases with squashes, rewords or reordering and I do chunk manipul…

    I do know what Sol/Terra/Luna mean, but was also confused for a second on the hierarchy. After doing a bit or research it dawned on me that they are arranged in the order of the si…

    It reads like it's written by a person having a stroke in real time. Really weird formatting, punctuation, structure all over the place. Asinine claims. I hate the messenger despit…

    We have a skill that takes a well defined Jira ticket and basically drives it to completion until it produces a human-review ready PR. This process is coded into a bunch of gates t…

    Right, the secretary would just gossip about it with their friends and partners behind your back.

    I've been using tmux historically and it eventually became too cumbersome since my typical workflow started being a lot more AI-agent heavy. I now run over 10 agents at the same ti…

    What kind of privacy are people supposed to expect in a public place like an aquarium?

    The benefit of glasses is that you know for sure what they're recording cause they're recording pretty much what you're looking at. A GoPro on your chest could be angled weirdly an…

    Maybe we should also replace traffic signals with a man with a stick directing traffic. And put a guy on every gas pump in the country so they could pump your gas. And bring back t…

    There's a lot of ways a datacenter in your backyard might be less desirable than a corn-field. Most data center cooling works by evaporation. Hot air or hot water from the servers …
