This is not levels of abstraction, it's a dependency graph.

If they constrain design they're relevant. Doesn't mean every legal detail should be in the doc.

Your iam token is just a secret by another name. Sure it's more automated but theres no avoiding secret0.
And phone number verification too? So that's 3 hurdles to jump to just get opus.

Funny. When you input only milk and soy milk, it ignores the soy. If only soy, suddenly the butter needs to be vegan.
Thx oh and maybe don't call it sem. It's not really semantic, more like a big picture view vs the ground level git lines. How about "bye", short for bird's-eye?
Another potential use case: This may help jujutsu auto split a large revision into small orthogonal revs.

Sometimes agent makes a monolithic commit and it's a lot of work to manually split code you didn't write. After such an auto split I can manually squash related revs into feature/ticket level.

Standardization. Who writes llms.txt? Everyone writes their own? Will agents still behave the same?
Re:Just Use Postgres for Durable Workflows on Thursday May 28, 2026 @09:06PM (#48317702)
Biggest design bug imo is the workers need to register for the workflows they support, but will happily pull tasks from unrelated workflows if they're on the same queue. No way to put failed tasks back into the queue again either.
Isn't split stack architectural, i.e. client heavy vs thin client. Not a hard TS feature?

I'd say cue is nicer, but the tooling available is even less mature.

Re:AI is making me dumb on Thursday May 14, 2026 @11:56PM (#48144381)
Me too! I got interested in category theory and how to express a logical model of "workflows" as a category. Then ai told me workflows are a monoid and not to bother.
I note the absence of a motivation.
Is there no upstream package repo like docker has.
That's objective metrics. Not an objective way to compare, which is the selection of metrics to include.
IME "real data work" doesn't involve notebooks.
Re:Jujutsu megamerges for fun and profit on Tuesday April 21, 2026 @12:39PM (#47851192)
Strange advice not to push the mega merge. It's what I call my release branch.

One thing I like is there's many ways to achieve the same result. E.g. author uses a fancy rebase to graft a new branch between trunk and merge point. I could do the same by: 1) rebase -s onto trunk, 2) merge new branch with mega merge, 3) squash old megamerge upwards into new merge. No cryptic revset needed.

Re:Scientific datasets are riddled with copy-paste errors on Monday April 20, 2026 @02:00AM (#47830868)
Taking notebooks to a production environment isn't fun either. With ai there's no more excuse for using that coding crutch.
Re:The Orange Pi 6 Plus on Tuesday April 14, 2026 @08:02PM (#47773054)
I think they're related. You can't have a custom kernel if you can't rebuild the device tree. You can't rebuild blobs.
Re:What is jj and why should I care? on Tuesday April 14, 2026 @11:22AM (#47766862)
I think the mental model is like C vs python. Git gives you a forensic trace back in time. jj gives you a story with chapters. Look under the hood you'll still see forensic map of state transitions, but this not what we want to navigate most of the time. Sometimes we need to rewrite an early chapter to make the latest chapter make more sense.
