This is nice and all, but it doesnt fit my workflow. I have a 4k monitor so I can have 5-6 windows open at once, they are all of different sizes because they are all showing different info and they are all in different places because its physical place is determined by its usage frequency.

In this setup theres the assumption that theres only ever two things Im looking at, and they are equally important because each one is 50/50.

Even if two can be configured to 3, and the 50/50 ratio can be changed, thats not the point, the desktop arrangement is a reflection of the task I am working on, not a rigid pattern enforced by a window manager.

I find these types of wms very bizarre. They must fit some people's mental model but its so far from being useful for me, I just find it fascinating that anyone could find this useful.

Can you give any evidence for this? (I mean statistically significant evidence worthly of your global, sweeping claims and not a tiny sample of cherry picked anecdotes)

Or is all of your statements just "trust me bro"?

No, it wont, because you just made the same mistake they talked about. You assumed that its a currency implementation detail and not a power structure thats holding it back.

So why dont we tax air? Everyone is breathing all the time, if the point of a Tax is to raise revenue we should be taxing every breath

Oh yeah you also have to not kill the population economically. What about the citizens who are doing large scale research on datasets? Those are the ones who are going to make billion dollar companies and they wont happen if they are watching the meter all the time because the government has decided to tax thought, so better not think too much!

No thats an old way of thinking because it assumes mass targets are better because hacking is a high effort activity. But with the automation of intellect the unpatched systems (which a much more numerous when everyone self hosts) is the key point.

Mass credential stealing is just the top funnel of hacking and (compatativly) isnt that lucrative - these credentials are then sold on the black markets to the next step of hackers who use them to exploit targets.

With unpatched systems and self hosting, this second group can just set an llm at a target and have a much higher chance of success without needing credentials

It would be a dream for the infiltration hackers to have everyone self host. Unpatched and miscondigured systems would be everywhere and LLM automation could make mass scanning them and exploiting them very attractive - not mass scanning and exploiting them for credentials stealing, no! For layer 2 stuff

Yes I found it very jarring too

I really want XR glasses to work but having a 50 inch screen in front of me that moves with the micro-movements of my head is very annoying.

Using an ide is difficult because in order to have enough text on the screen to be useful the font size has to be that micromovements of the head makes reading the text difficult - its fine for 15 minutes but try doing 2 hours of coding on it, and the extra cognitive load of tracking the moving screen and text is too much. Mine sit in the case now, gathering dust.

Watching movies, probably fine. Playing games, probably fine. I don't do those things.

Wrong. You are being too much "economic idealism" - the market is not perfectly efficient and theres easily enough room for companies like I describe, and they exist today, especially in more well rounded European countries.

And then seperatly, we are talking about the definition of "well run companies" and I was putting forward my definition of one, which is what we are talking about in this thread.

If you reduce a companies purpose to solely being "making money" then by that definition sure.

But in my opinion the worship of money and reduction of everything to being solely a dollar maximizer is one of the biggest problems that humanity has at the moment - it is a reduction in purpose by the blind and greedy.

My definition of a well run company is one that is still profitable, but has happy employees who are maximizing their potential and growth. Who is a good tax paying entity so that it contributes back to the society that is supporting it. Is making a healthy return for its shareholders despite all of this, and is not doing anything evil like producing toxic chemicals, harming vulnerable people or polluting the environment.

Is it idealistic? Yes of course it is. Our collective description of greatness should be to aim at perfection so that even falling short of it is still excellent.

Saying it must be well run because its profitable makes me sick, because that line of thinking feeds unrestrained greed, and is exactly the reason our state of capitalism is so unbalanced and full of greed right now.

They sound like poorly run companies, management should be aware and dealing with both of these problems.

Running abliterated models in non sandboxed environment is insane.

Running them on your host hardware with access to your whole machine because its running in your main account is unhinged bats*t crazy insane.

Maturity is understanding there's an enormous range between "like" and "dislike", between "love" and "hate", between "good" and "bad", and its also possible to be neither at once or both at once.

Re-read it in Elizabeth Holmes voice

Exactly! The human dream of machines writing poetry, painting pictures and writing music is here and we can finally be free of those burdens to scrub toilets and empty the trash. Utopia.

Isn't it just typical the humans get automation v1 the wrong way around, haha
