@mcc if anyone knows the answer I would expect @manishearth to be able to.

PSA: Did you know that it’s **unsafe** to put code diffs into your commit messages?

Like https://github.com/i3/i3/pull/6564 for example

Such diffs will be applied by patch(1) (also git-am(1)) as part of the code change!

This is how a sleep(1) made it into i3 4.25-2 in Debian unstable.

@frisch if you have an nrf52 board, I recommend trying my nrf-lora thing out (best with probe-rs debugger) it's kinda janky with hardcoded parameters, but should at least decode and send packets fine.

Overall writing embedded firmware in rust is very nice

A non-anthropomorphized view of LLMs

In many discussions where questions of "alignment" or "AI safety" crop up, I am baffled by seriously intelligent people imbuing almost magic...
