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 !

    I use an LLM to edit everything I write. Does this mean I have to label everything as LLM-generated? I am the one doing the job, but in the end, I’m just copy-pasting the output from the LLM.

      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.

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

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

          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?

            I don’t need to explain myself. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t think it helped.

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

                I feel attacked, obviously, because I shouldn’t have to explain my reasons for using an LLM, just like other people don’t have to explain themselves when they use an autocomplete tool on their phone.

                  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.

                    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 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

        I’ll type things up and ask an LLM like petals or open assistant to phrase it in new or clearer way. Hit or miss, but sometimes it helps.
