arch-meson is a small wrapper script for meson:

$ cat /usr/bin/arch-meson
#!/bin/bash -ex
# Highly opinionated wrapper for Arch Linux packaging

exec meson setup \
  --prefix        /usr \
  --libexecdir    lib \
  --sbindir       bin \
  --buildtype     plain \
  --auto-features enabled \
  --wrap-mode     nodownload \
  -D              b_pie=true \
  -D              python.bytecompile=1 \
  "$@"

You’ll have to upload the image for that to work.

One time I asked DeepSeek for guidance on a more complex problem involving a linked list and I wanted to know how a simple implementation of that would look like in practice. The most high level I go is C and they claim it knows C, so I asked it to write in the C language. It literally started writing code like this:

void important_function() {
    // important_function code goes here
}

void black_magic() {
    // Code that performs black magic goes here.
}

I tried at least 2 more times after that and while it did actually write code this time, the code it wrote made no sense whatsoever. For example one time it started writing literal C# in the middle of a C function for some reason. Another time it wrongly assumed that I’m asking for C++ (despite me explicitly stating otherwise) and the C++ it produced was horrifying and didn’t even work. Yet another time it acted like the average redditor and hyper focused on a very specific part of my prompt and then only responded to that while ignoring my actual request.

I tried to “massage” it a lot in hopes of getting some useful information out of it but in the end I found that some random people’s Git repos and Stackexchange questions were way more helpful to my problem. All of my experiences with LLMs have been like this thus far and I’ve been messing with them for 1+ years now. People claim they’re very useful for writing repetitive or boiler plate code but I am never in a position where I’d want or need that. Maybe my use cases are just too niche lol.

A few days ago I was configuring some software where it’s difficult to find good documentation about so I decided to ask DeepSeek. I described what I’m trying to do and asked if it could give me an example setup so I can get a better understanding. All it did was confidently make shit up and told me things that I already knew. And that’s only the most recent example. I have yet to find LLMs be a useful tool.

And then the rented Apartment is way too tiny for the price and was originally designed to house 2 people max. but now more than that have to share it. Bonus points if there is only 1 tiny bathroom with a bathtub/shower that’s from the late 80s and the kitchen is integrated into the already small living room.
