This comment thread highlights an issue that Nix has...some people love it personally, some love it professionally. Some are software engineers, others are hackers.

Most of the comments here seem to be from people using NixOS on a laptop. NixOS as a production OS in the cloud or on a robot is a game changer.

In a world of LLMs and agentic coding, I think documentation is less important.

Also a delightful human in every interaction I’ve had with him.

not here: while I have little against military applications in a world that needs to defend itself from putin, i've found Travis Whitaker to be unserious and adolescent when it comes to doing serious business. After interacting with Travis I would never consider working for or with him or Anduril, and I would be wary of hiring anyone that did work for them in the past.

I've used HubSpot in the past but currently just using Notion.

hmm interesting, what did you not like about HubSpot?

What is so interesting about Nix is that it's not one thing. Its not (just) a distro. Its not (just) a package manager. Its not (just) a system manager. Its not (just) a language. Its not (just) a build tool.

It is all those things, but specifically, what you want it to be. Yes, that makes it super confusing, but also powerful.

Can you provide an example of the type of question that comes back with a reasonable prediction? So far, I've tried 3 times, and the answer each time was something along the lines of [prediction will be true] if [they do the thing that makes the prediction true] which is not useful.

Sure! Sorry to hear you've had some bad ones. If you have links handy it'd be great to see which ones went wrong so we can try to improve.

But here are some recent predictions that we thought were pretty reasonable: * https://aipredict.fun/prediction/a0354d22-d44a-4115-a774-1cc... * https://aipredict.fun/prediction/1518666d-d5f8-40b1-bee9-561... * https://aipredict.fun/prediction/c13193fa-4155-4b47-b50a-432...

Interesting. I asked similar questions (Who will win the Presidential Election and Will XXX college football team win the national championship, etc) and none of the responses included percentages or yes/no indicators like the examples you link to.

Pings don’t seem like enough info

And yet we all get by just fine with pings!

>Like, do you want a 0.01% chance to raise money or a 2% chance to build a business that keeps you and a few others well paid and perhaps out of the rat-race.

I don't do startups to have a job, I do startups to do the hard things in an attempt to build something groundbreaking.

Presenting "raise money" vs "have a job" is a false dichotomy.

I don't see the need for this. I mean, its a fun idea for LLMs/Generative text, but does the target user struggle with figuring out how to configure an alert in their o11y tools?
