If something is incorrect on Wikipedia, it can be sourced, traced, disputed, fixed.

If it's wrong in the LLM, it's just...wrong. It's not a fact explicitly stored somewhere, it's just a string of words generated by a probability map

Does @usetrmnl.com fit the bill?

GitButler is a GUI that gives you the “work on all my branches at once” workflow. I love jj but if you want a GUI, I think GitButler is a great choice.

You basically just push commits to Gerrit to open reviews. Pushing opens a code review for each commit. If the commits depend on each other, Gerrit won’t let you submit (“merge”) a later change if the parent changes aren’t all approved too.

Do Gerrit’s “related changes” come closer to what you’re looking for?

You can even work in “colocated” mode where there’s a normal .git directory right next to the .jj directory, and all your git tooling continues to work.

In case it wasn’t clear: jj works with git as the underlying storage. You can push to GitHub or any other shared repo, and your coworkers don’t even need to know.

If you haven’t given Jujutsu (jj) a try, you’d probably like it! The lead maintainer comes from Mercurial, and it has been greatly influenced by hg. And you can use jj with all the Git repos you work with.

I had been happy with Git since I started using it around 2009, but realizing how many jj features are improvements upon or simply copied from Mercurial has made me feel like I missed out.

I knew it was said to have a better UI, but I assumed that just meant “the commands are more uniform”

So I wrote this, and it's the best thing I've ever written.

"We will resolve disputes in favor of protecting users as a whole."

That right there. That tells everyone how Trust & Safety is going to act, and it gives T&S profound latitude. They're not there to rules-lawyer or first-amendment.

Seriously. I know the reflog is there and I can use it when I need to, but it sure isn’t pleasant. The jj op log is immediately understandable and doesn’t feel like a chore.

And I used the index and stashes regularly. jj’s solution for those (everything is a commit) is just plain easier.

My experience: I started using git-branchless, then thought I’d gradually experiment with jj and maybe use it for my personal work. Within a week I converted every repo, personal and work, and haven’t looked back.

It is our understanding that Bluesky in its current state is largely a social media platform for people who have a problem with authority. Out of respect for you all, we will not attempt to engage in the usual "brand building" of establishing a hollow parasocial relationship with our followers.

Thanks for the update! Josh seems neat but I haven’t had a real need for it because we don’t Do Monorepo, so I don’t know where the rough edges are.
August 2, 2024 at 11:42 PM
It’s less direct, but maybe use Josh to clone the filtered repo you want to make public, then use a normal push to GitHub when ready?

And had I scrolled just one more page down my search, I would have seen you in there talking about it.

Have you seen Josh come up in conversation in the jj Discord? I think Austin uses it josh-project.github.io/josh/

/8 At any rate, congratulations to the Federalist Society for an achievement beyond the reach of the British, outside the grasp of bloody civil war, impossible to Nazis and Soviets and terrorists: defeating the American idea.
