This is arguably missing the "how" from the title -- can someone fix?

> `absorb` assigns the changes based on whichever previous commit most recently touched those files, which sometimes doesn't actually correspond to which commit should own these particular changes.

I’m pretty sure `jj absorb` (and its predecessors, `git-absorb` [0] and `hg absorb`) are smarter than this, instead looking at the actual diffs.

It’s possible this is just a Nest limitation? It appears that all the data is there to construct a diff with context, and I’d hope the CLI would do so…

Comments here seem to be talking like they've used this model for longer than a few hours -- is this true, or are y'all just sharing your initial thoughts?

As in, participants would copy output from one LLM as a question to another?

In my limited time using it, I’ve never seen it ask for permission to read files from within the working directory, what cases have you run into where it does? Was it trying to run a read-only shell command or something?

> I think OpenBSD actually does support static libc though.

How does that work, with syscalls being unable to be called except from the system’s libc? I’d be a bit surprised if any binary’s embedded libc would support this model.

Won’t IDEA automatically index/execute some Gradle code when possible? As soon as you execute an arbitrary binary/script from the project directory, the isolation of the JVM doesn’t matter.

Looks like some were automod and some just went into modqueue, only one was actually removed by mods.

rubygems.org will still be operated by Ruby Central, though, so you still have to trust them. Given the state of affairs, this is less than ideal, but it’s probably a better outcome than nothing changing.

Thank you for the swift and candid response, this has to suck. :/

> The author appears to have deleted most of the compromised package before losing access to his account. At the time of writing, the package simple-swizzle is still compromised.

Is this quote from TFA incorrect, since npm hasn’t yanked anything yet?

This isn’t the same website as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44560662 — clearly a different product with the same name, though it seems the signup button doesn’t even do anything?
