SeductiveTortoiseEveryone knows you have to tell it “don’t make mistakes”.

BrewchinAhh, the “git gud” gamer hack also applies to sloperations? Good to know!
git config —global alias.gud “reset —hard @{upstream}”
git config --global alias.lsd '!f(){ p(){ awk '\''BEGIN{srand()}{a[NR]=$0}END{print a[int(rand()*NR)+1]}'\''; }; git reset --hard -q; git clean -fdq; if [ "$(awk '\''BEGIN{srand();print int(rand()*2)}'\'')" = 0 ]; then c=$(git rev-list --first-parent HEAD|sed "$d"|p); git reset --hard "$(git rev-parse "$c^")"; else c=$(git rev-list --all|grep -v "^$(git rev-parse HEAD)$"|p); git reset --hard "$(git commit-tree "$c^{tree}" -p HEAD -C "$c")"; fi; }; f'
You’re welcome.
You are a monster. Nice work!
Ah, went and checked my work laptop this morning. It’s actually set to: !”git reset —hard HEAD && git clean -fdx
git it is the one that’s set to upstream.
I also have git some: add -p, git away: checkout -p, git out: !”git merge —abort 2> /dev/null || git rebase —abort 2> /dev/null #”
And some complicated ones I’m not gonna type on my phone:
git on <foo>where foo is either “it”, in which case I use the appropriate main/master/develop branch and rebase on it; or foo is “up” in which case I do apull —rebaseand play a short audio clip of Get On Up; or foo is a nonexistent branch, in which case I massage the requested branch name to adhere to some conventions and then make a new branch and set the remote tracking branchgit with <foo>where the same “it” logic applies but it’s a merge; or foo is a commit SHA and it gets cherry-pickedgit upis just a pull but it plays a short audio clip of Get On Up- I think I had a
git rektat one point, but I think it just did the same asgit gudso I deleted it
I Cast FistHow many “do not hallucinates” does it take until the “memory window” forgets it’s supposed to not hallucinate and then hallucinate?
Technically, nowadays, the system prompt is sent back with every user prompt, but I’m not convinced that was the case in 2024 😅

circuitfarmerThere are a shockingly high number of people who believe this kind of thing genuinely affects output from LLMs.
I think the reason is simple: if you ask the LLM, it’ll tell you it’s a good idea.
Eager Eaglethat’s just good form, regardless of who’s reading the md
- MD041 - First line in a file should be a top-level heading
- MD002 - First header should be a h1 header
- MD025 - Multiple top level headers in the same document
that whole line is 3 tokens btw, they’re wasting more time and energy just discussing that

I’m proud of the fact that I don’t understand this.
You and me both.
It wastes tokens which is good. Every penny my boss spends on AI brings the company closer to bankruptcy.
My company has just implemented a token leaderboard. I find that asking particularly insane questions burns more tokens, since it won’t have previous results to fall back on.
Kind sir, could you share those questions? I’m in great need!
If the agent can’t tell a contextual comment from an actionable code line, then it is indeed a wasted token. Not because of the header, but because of the “AI” being a useless POS.
Which, to be fair, is the case in pretty much all scenarios.
Wasn’t a comment, it was a header in a markdown prompt for ai agents to slurp into their context.
