When knowledge is lacking, make assumptions and test them if possible. If
you're struggling, show your work so others can see and comment on your
mistakes. If I told you my math problem without showing my work, you couldn't

When you posted questions to a mailing list, pasted them into ChatGPT, and sent
the responses back to the list, you made several mistakes. Here are the key

And the cost, the payment people here often seek are useful contributions

You have to know your target audience a bit, most people here are old hats,
and not trying to step on any toes, but perhaps often on the "spectrum."

not a lot is returned to Plan 9.

I'm not a troll; frustrated, perhaps. I just don't understand this culture. I
don't think the issue lies with LLMs, but rather with an unwillingness to

Format the thumb drive as a FAT32 filesystem and stick the files
there. On the plan9 side, see dossrv(4) and examine /bin/c: for
an example of what to do. You'll nee

The annual review is solely for my use. I organize recurring tasks with a
monthly tickler system based on their frequency. You are right; it may not be
suitable for community practice. Many of my ideas and practices are
unconventional.

Code doesn't lie. So code is the source of truth. Anything you say about how
things work which doesn't match reality, is therefore just wrong or a lie.
Noam is right in most of his text.
But I have to add that the following sentence should be taken with some grain
of salt.

Naom, 9fans isn't a single source of truth, but rather is a place for holding
discussions.
I see this as a documentation problem. If people can't find information easily,
they ask. Without credible documentation, the cycle never ends. We

My point is accurate information should be easy to find and read, like in a
wiki. Mailing lists are for discussions, not for searching answers. It’s ideal

When you generate bullshit with an LLM and then post it without reading
