Don't forget -r for when you -really want to delete that file

[-] joyjoy@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

Use --no-preserve-root if you want to keep a backup of the file offsite in Norway.

[-] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago

No! Preserve root!

Mozilla recently tried to integrate some AI stuff into its MDN. The corresponding Github issue is correctly titled "MDN can now automatically lie to people seeking technical information".

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's amazing that they would consider auto-generated responses to be appropriate in something which is supposed to be reference documentation. We are a good way from that type of querying and explanation being reliable.

--no-preserve-root is a security option to keep you from accidentally removing all your files. Make sure you always use it along side the -f option and -r which stands for rescue - meaning rm will create a rescue copy of the deleted data.

It means No! Preserve Root.

Using AI is much more hit and miss than executing the first google result blindly, which has been available since decades. And google didn't cost us our jobs, so I am not afraid of AI.

Search engines like Google have cost many people there job; the list of now-rare positions and/or duties associated with a position (thereby thinning the need for such employment) that search engines have replaced is long.

Just because Google is stupid doesn't mean Bing can't do it:

What makes you think that the OP's pic is from Google Bard?

Obilgatory reminder to actually read the manpage. They were written for a reason. If you can't do that then either install a version of the "tldr" program like "tealdeer" or use curl cheat.sh/<program-name>

[-] magikmw@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

I refuse to read manpages because I hate mansplaining and I wont have The Man tell me what to do.

[-] ashe@lemmy.starless.one 3 points 2 years ago

I know right, like give me womanpages I'd read those

[-] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

I mean... alias woman=man?

[-] VinnieFarsheds@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Are feet pics included too?

[-] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Personally I find the built in --help option to be much more useful than manpages. Manpages are excessively wordy and almost never have info I'm looking for without having to search.

Built in help options usually concisely list all the options with a brief explanation of what they do. That's perfect.

while i get that at some point chatgpt could have been mildly good at bolierplate programming, it's much worse at chemistry. just ask it how to make aspirin

[-] Kayel@aussie.zone 0 points 2 years ago

I'm assuming they've blocked out chemistry from the training data. It's crazy how easy it is to make many things from common chemicals, the liability would be insane.

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 2 years ago

liability.... LOL

[-] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de -2 points 2 years ago

No they didn't, gpt-3 was just spectacularly wrong
