I switched from git to jj a few months ago, so I may have some insight.

I used it at work, where everyone used git, and there were 0 issues.

What I really like about it is how changes are sort of soft committed right away and, when I checkout a different branch or change, I don’t need to stash my changes and remember the stack of stashes.

Rebasing and merging feel a little easier, but that might just be because “ours” and “theirs” doesn’t get flipped during rebasing.

I also like the ability to checkout an old commit, make a change to it, then have all my more recent commits automatically get rebased (not exactly what happens, but the analogy works)

All in all, it’s a solid, compatible, incremental step forward in VCS.

The only tangible downside for me is that it doesn’t support git hooks

NewsArticle: "Black Holes Speak in Gravitational Waves, Heard Through Quantum Walks" (2025) https://thequantuminsider.com/2025/01/29/black-holes-speak-i... :

> Unlike classical MCMC, which requires a large number of iterative steps to converge on a solution, QBIRD uses a quantum-enhanced Metropolis algorithm that incorporates quantum walks to explore the parameter space more efficiently. Instead of sequentially evaluating probability distributions one step at a time, QBIRD encodes the likelihood landscape into a quantum Hilbert space, allowing it to assess multiple transitions between parameter states simultaneously. This is achieved through a set of quantum registers that track state evolution, transition probabilities, and acceptance criteria using a modified Metropolis-Hastings rule.

> Additionally, QBIRD incorporates renormalization and downsampling, which progressively refine the search space by eliminating less probable regions and concentrating computational resources on the most likely solutions. These techniques enable QBIRD to achieve accuracy comparable to classical MCMC while reducing the number of required samples and computational overhead, making it a more promising approach for gravitational wave parameter estimation as quantum hardware matures.

Because it was hunting their livestock.

Bigger predators and sheep/goats/etc don't mix well in general (should not be a surprise).

Protecting the rights of bigger predators over those of shepherds/farmers is something that rich nations can afford, but it still meets a lot of popular opposition (=> see wolves/brown bears in central Europe). An economically weaker nation like Egypt can not justify a move like that, especially if the animal in question is useless for tourism, too.

TLDR: Targeted edits and prompts / Heads Up Display

It should probably be more like an overlay (and hooked into context menus with suggestions, inline context bubbles when you want more context for a code block) and make use of an IDE problems view. The problems view would have to be enhanced to allow it to add problems that spanned multiple files, however.

Probably like the Rust compiler output style, but on steroids.

There would likely be some chatting required, but it should all be at a particular site in the code and then go into some history bank where you can view every topic you've discussed.

For authoring, I think an interactive drawing might be better, allowing you to click on specific areas and then use shorter phrasing to make an adjustment instead of having an argument in some chat to the left of your screen about specificity of your request.

Multi-point / click with minimal prompt. It should understand based on what I clicked what the context is without me having to explain it.

I find things get buried just as easily in email. People on my team are constantly resending each other emails, because they can’t find the thread.

This is why, if something is important, I take it out of email and put it into a document people can reference. The latest and correct information from all the decisions in the thread can also be collected in one place, so everyone reading doesn’t have to figure it out. Not to mention side conversations can influence the results, without being explicitly stated in the email thread.

Indeed, that is about the stated revenue on their Wikipedia page. Divided equally among their 20,000 employees, that comes to $350,000 per employee. Expenses like office space, taxes, fines/fees, inflated executive compensation, etc will bring that down quite a bit; though other sources of income will bring it back up too. Sounds reasonable.

Yeah, I've landed on similar, although I wouldn't say it's bad for all dev scenarios. For small tweaks, or cases where I want a junior dev to do something I say explicitly ("add a bootstrap style input field for every property on #somemodel") chat works fine.

For higher-level AI assist, I do agree chat is not what makes sense. What I think would be cool is to work in markdown files, refining in precise plain english each feature. The AI then generates code from the .md files plus existing context. Then you have well-written documentation and consistent code. You can do this to a degree today by referencing a md file in chat, or by using some of the newer tools, but I haven't seen exactly what I want yet. (I guess I should build it?)

With apologies to Bill Buxton: "Every interface is best at something and worst at something else."

Chat is a great UI pattern for ephemeral conversation. It's why we get on the phone or on DM to talk with people while collaborating on documents, and don't just sit there making isolated edits to some Google Doc.

It's great because it can go all over the place and the humans get to decide which part of that conversation is meaningful and which isn't, and then put that in the document.

It's also obviously not enough: you still need documents!

But this isn't an "either-or" case. It's a "both" case.
Not really.

Chat GPT and friends are really good at grunt work, but as far as picking the tech stack and architecting out an actual solution, it falls flat.

Plus if you ever run into any real trouble, chat GPT has a very nasty habit of just telling you to keep doing it the same way. I've had times where I'll post the same code in multiple LLMs and get multiple incorrect answers. All while I'm thinking if I was an actual web developer this would take 30 seconds...

It's the biggest improvement to my development workflow in over a decade. The last change that was as big was git itself.
I agree. But in that context we're talking about specifications.

When we're trying to wrangle a piece of code to do something we want but aren't quite sure of how to interact with the api, it's a different matter.

What i found is that by the time copilot/gpt/deepseek has enough knowledge about the problem and my codebase, I've run out of tokens. Because my head can contain a much larger problem area than these models allow me to feed them in a budget friendly manner.
This rings true with my experiences. The people who I've known to become addicted usually started with something prescribed and then graduated to heroin. When heroin became harder to find, smuggle in, or too expensive, fentanyl happily stepped up to meet demand.

Addicts literally carry around fent testing kits so they can _avoid_ this synthetic opioid.
Yep. 100% agree. The whole “chat as UX” metaphor is a cul-de-sac that I’m sure we’ll back out of sooner or later.

I think about this like SQL in the late 80s. At the time, SQL was the “next big thing” that was going to mean we didn’t need programmers, and that management could “write code”. It didn’t quite work out that way, of course, as we all know.

I see chat-based interfaces to LLMs going exactly the same way. The LLM will move down the stack (rather than up) and much more appropriate task-based UX/UI will be put on top of the LLM, coordinated thru a UX/UI layer that is much sympathetic to the way users actually want to interact with a machine.

In the same way that no end-users ever touch SQL these days (mostly), we won’t expose the chat-based UX of an LLM to users either.

There will be a place for an ad-hoc natural language interface to a machine, but I suspect it’ll be the exception rather than the rule.

I really don’t think there are too many end users who want to be forced to seduce a mercurial LLM using natural language to do their day-to-day tech tasks.

I don't know that, mostly speculating based on how mixture of experts is outperforming decoder-only architectures, which means we're already composing transformers to squeeze the most out of it, and still it seems to fall short. They have already been trained with incredible amounts of data, and it still needs to be composed into multiple instances and needs even better hardware and it seems it has reached diminishing returns. The question is will the little that is left to optimize be enough to have it be truly agentic and create full apps on its own, or will it still require expert supervision for anything useful.
I personally switched over in December. For me it solves a few problem in an elegant way:

1. No branches. Instead of having tunnel vision on a single branch, you can easily hop around the tree, creating revisions and switching context without having to mess about stashing files and then remembering which branch and version each stash is for. The fact that your changes are automatically added to a revision make this very easy. You can literally drop what you're doing, `jj edit` or `jj new` a different commit to switch over to working on that stuff, whether it's on a Git branch or not.

For example, you could be working on a feature 'A', push your PR and then start work on feature 'B', only to find your pipeline has failed thereafter. You can then `jj new` a commit off your old feature commit, create a fix and push it (or even `jj squash` it first) and then `jj edit` back over to what you were doing on feature 'B' with no fiddly stashes.

2. Much simpler rebasing commands. For those of us who like to rewrite history to make PRs easier to comprehend for reviewers, and for general rebasing when your target branch has changes, I find the `jj rebase` much saner than Git. It's very easy to rebase a set of commits or move a single commit about in history.

`jj squash` is also great for fixing up earlier commits. You can `jj new` a commit off an existing commit, make a fix or change and then `jj squash` it into the previous one without a fiddly `git rebase -i HEAD~2`.

3. Automatically rebasing of descendents. If I edit a commit in the history, all of the descendents are automatically rebased with this change. So if I realise I've made a mistake in commit `aaa` and edit that commit, `bbb` and `ccc` that are derived from it will automatically incorporate this change, with commits being market conflicted if this can't be done.

4. Conflict handling. Any conflicts are recorded against
commits and doesn't prevent operations from working. So you don't have to immediately drop everything and work interactively through a set of conflicts. Combine that with the automatic rebasing, above, and your resolutions propagate through the descendents similar to using git rerere.

So those, for me, are the killer features.

On the downsides:

1. HTTPS Git repository handling is poor. There is no vault integration, at least on Mac, so I have to enter my username and password every time. This is not a problem for SSH, but my company prohibits SSH, so it's a pain. ** see reply below, credential helper now works **

2. Git fetches seem slower for large changes than using Git fetch directly, and I've had the tool timeout on repositories with large files. Combined with the above issue I tend to now `git fetch` rather than ever `jj git fetch`, avoiding the two problems, and just push with `jj`.

Other than that I'm loving the tool.

CWIS have an extremely low radar horizon - most contemporary AShM weapons fly extremely close to the water, sometimes even lower than the bow of a suicide vessel. It's very feasible for such a weapon to neutralize a USV in terminal attack.

> Watching the Russian fleet "deal with" Ukranian drone boats

Most of the successes I've seen with Ukraine's drones are against unarmed targets. They had great success using USVs to attack oil rigs in Crimea and Mi-8s with very weak countermeasures.

This isn't to say that USVs are useless against the Russian Navy proper, but even Russia has weapons intended to pick off surface combatants at a standoff range. I suspect we don't hear more success stories because they're at least partially capable of defending against them.
No, it has to do with context. In an email you will frequently have to provide more context for your answers to make sense. Chat is a conversation, which search drops you straight into, may with AI you could get placed at an appropriate starting point, but you're still reading a conversation. It's much easier to get dropped into a correspondence. To me the difference is like reading someones letter, vs. overhearing a conversation in a bus.

This obvious assumes that who ever wrote the email isn't a madman, who insist on using emails like it was a chat.

> then employees will be incentivized to maintain the status quo instead making decisions to make the company successful.

Therein lies the problem.

Capitalists believe these two things are exclusionary to one another. They believe that you cannot have an unsuccessful product line, or "status quo" and still be successful. They want to see comfy upward trending lines on their charts and graphs.

But nobody stopped to consider that;

1) If the business is operating with positive cashflow, and,

2) If the business is meeting it's commitment to consumers, shareholders, and employees, and,

3) If the business has no direct existential threat to it's market share, then;

That business is successful. By your own definition. Stop trying to take over the world. It's selfish, unsustainable, and pedantic. Support your workers. Well. Put value back into the economy. Stop being a greedy POS.

> It wasn't Portland. Voters in Oregon as a whole passed Measure 110 in 2020 that replaced criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of drugs with $100 fines.

Unless you're forced to do something to deal with the addiction then there's probably not much point for this kind of thing:

> Starting September 1, 2024, possession of hard drugs became classified as a criminal misdemeanor outside of the regular A-E categorization system, carrying a sentence of up to 6 months of jail, which may be waived if the convictee enters into mandatory drug treatment.[8][9]

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Oregon_Ballot_Measure_110

Of course one needs to keep at it, otherwise things fall apart:

> Funding ebbed still more recently due to new national budget pressures, which undercut efforts encouraging addicts into rehabilitation programs. The results of “disinvestment” and “a freezing in [their] response” led Goulão to state that “what we have today no longer serves as an example to anyone.”

> Speaking more quantitatively, drug users in treatment declined from 1,150 to 352 (from 2015 to 2021) as funding dropped in 2012 from $82.7 million to $17.4 million. Budget pressures and the apparent desire to cut immediate program costs of drug addiction (distinct from the total societal cost of drug addiction) led to program decentralization and the use of NGOs. Anecdotal evidence of a fragmenting, even breaking, system abounds: Demoralized police no longer cite addicts to get them into treatment and at least some NGOs view the effort as less about treatment and more about framing lifetime drug use as a right.
