From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Whats your thoughts on Ai in your terminal? (www.warp.dev)

Today i was doing the daily ritual of looking at distrowatch. Todays reveiw section was about a termal called warp, it has built in AI for recomendations and correction for commands (like zhs and nushell). You can also as a chatbot for help. I think its a neat conscept however the security is what makes me a bit skittish. They say the dont collect data and you can check it aswell as opt out. But the idea of a terminal being read by an Ai makes me hesitant aswell as a account needed to use warp. What do you guys think?

Warp lost me at the account requirement. You're telling me I need to sign in to a terminal? Seriously? Like with an internet connection? Nope. What if I'm opening my terminal to configure my network? Warp seems to be fixing a problem that doesn't exist. I don't think anyone has looked at a terminal emulator and gone "Yeah, this could use AI and a cloud account".

"Alright, now that I'm logged in to my cloud terminal account, let me enter my root password for sudo."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

You are not in the sudoers file. This incident has been reported and your account suspended.

Not just that, they want an email just to get a download link. Call me when someone forks it with local AI.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Wait. An email just to get a download link AND a cloud account. Fuck that.

I would definitely like an AI to remember some complex commands for me. But something small and specifically trained that runs locally

[–] [email protected] 24 points 8 months ago

I use fuck, it's not ai but gets the job done.

You can define a bunch of aliases in any shell environment for that. Or use a history manager (a database client essentially) that groups commands you've entered so far based on frequency, return value, working dir. when they were issued etc.

fzf does the job

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Yeah; & by the way, warp is funding fzf, as there's a big thank you banner on fzf & fzf-vim's github pages nowadays. I'm glad fzf is getting support, of course; though it feels odd somehow.

I agree with this 100%!
