Realistically that's the only way to reduce the amount of bugs in your C++ code.

Do you want machine spirits? Because that's how you get machine spirits.

lol, although you made me think--the history of computers has involved patching layer after layer of sediment on top of each other until the how things work 10 layers deep is forgotten. Imagine when local LLMs are five layers deep. It'll be like having machine spirits. You know how you have to yell to get the LLM to do what you want sometimes? That's what the future version of sudo will be like.

My brother in Stroustrup, we are trying to run llama.cpp, we are definitionally attempting to summon machine spirits.

Who are these heathens who are going to ignore the basic language design work done by Kernighan & Ritchie? And whoever invented ++. Stroustrup didn't invent the C, the ++ or the notion of ++ing things in general. His contribution here is clearly quite small.

I thought the original argument for focusing on ollama alone was quite good. Once you get into dependencies it is turtles all the way down.
