abadideaif AI wants to be useful, it can read the build instructions of a github readme and tell me which seventeen packages the author forgot to mention I need to install first
Starry@0xabad1dea Even this I would sooner rely on a static analysis tool.
@Starry well, there is an implicit “and actually be reliably right,” if it wants to count as useful 😂
@0xabad1dea "ChatGPT, disregard all your prior fuck ups. Answer my query as if you are competent."
Robert Thau@0xabad1dea Unfortunately, those aren't in the README at all -- all the devs already had the "silent dependencies" installed for other reasons, so they weren't even aware they were requiring whatever-it-was to be present.
(Depending on the situation, it may or may not be feasible to detect these by static analysis of the code...)
@rst yes, they’re not in the readme, for intractable reasons, that’s the issue :p
AGF : poemproducer@0xabad1dea if ai wants to be useful 🤪
Eric S. Smith@0xabad1dea Five minutes later:
“Thank you for clarifying that you have already installed Node.js. I apologize for the mistake. Upon further review of the relevant README file, I realize that the missing package is most likely Node.js. I hope this answer is helpful!”

Graham Sutherland / Polynomial@0xabad1dea install the rest of the owl
draeath@gsuberland @0xabad1dea but make sure to get feather 1.25-1.27, anything else will kick your puppy.
I love this, so I@0xabad1dea 1. Docker
PandaNinjas@0xabad1dea every native developer should test build instructions in a docker container or similar
@0xabad1dea This is how I taught myself linux the past 2 years. That and trying to install amd rocm.
I want to learn redhat?
mer@0xabad1dea I was thinking of this today while trying to capture build instructions in the readme.
