input tokens are cheaper than output tokens. seems like it would maybe reduce input tokens at the expense of many more output tokens if you're actually triggering OCR via thinking?
sway-layout does not enforce any dependencies between apps. everything is started concurrently, so unless your apps manage their own interdependencies, it's not going to work
on the other hand, that means the initial wait should be much shorter
one potential avenue you could explore might be to configure a headless output, and try to have your slow starting apps/workspaces anchored there until they are ready. I haven't trie it though...
"gradualism", "coordination with allies", are things that this administration is famously good at, so it's probably all going to work out /s
What I had in mind was mostly dev tools (e.g. slipcover, ruff, uv, ...) where
- individuals being able to freely use them on personal/unreleased code, and anyone being able to use freely them on open source projects unlocks a ton of public benefit
- large tech companies might legitimately cut their ec2 costs by 50% or more thanks to the increased efficiency
- there is not much room for SaaS or maintenance contracts to generate an income for the original author
Having a short period people working on projects they are unwilling to open source are incentivized to share a portion of their cost savings seems like it would be a low-hassle way to foster a healthy ecosystem of public benefit tooling
unless you want some sad thawed potatoes instead of fries
and that's going to run you a lot more than $4, and take quite a while to amortize
