There is likely a mass of devs that is probably, hmmm, 10x the number of Nix devs from over a year ago, who know exactly what Nix offers and why it is cool, but couldn&#x27;t be bothered to master it until AI came along and basically &quot;solved the problem&quot;.<p>So I&#x27;d expect AI to rapidly accelerate Nix adoption. Hopefully, because it is amazing.

Seeing Nix these days is such a whiplash experience. We have fully deterministic systems and then we have LLMs. God ;)

I kind of confused what nix has to do with this considering it seems to basically be reimplementing rr?

I find myself moving more and more non-build things into nix builds because I don&#x27;t want to roll my own cache invalidation.  Seems like this is yet another reason to do so.

I&#x27;d love to become a Nix user one day. I tried to write a rather complex flake one day; it ended up with Nix (nix command) deleting itself: I immediately lost trust with it.

Dude, this is amazing stuff. Farid really is putting out banger after Nix banger haha. This sounds like a mini&#x2F;less capable Antithesis runtime, but running on your machine.<p>Curious: how does Rewind deal with randomness?
