I've been using Zellij a long time and considered using Herdr, but the VC funding aspect scares me. I don't want to invest a bunch of time in a tool that's going to treat me as a product.

The new age term is "Competence Porn" and man I love it so much.

> I don't know how people are handling constant context switching

The answer is they don't. It has been proven overwhelmingly that human's are bad a multitasking, even the ones who think they are good multitaskers.

How do Employees advocate for themselves if not Unions? I've never heard any anti-union person give a good answers other than 'just trust the employer to be a good human' or 'wait until it gets bad enough that the market sorts it out' which is just laughable.

This is my prediction. The extractors will continue to extract until it becomes untenable. Then a lot of people will die and we will find a new balance. This cycle is basically human history in a nutshell.

Do those calling for unionization forget how the railroads dealt with workers trying to unionize? Ever heard of the Pinkertons.

Well, these days when the rich guy loses $1000, the government takes my $10 and gives it to him.

Very likely because Pi is written in TypeScript and Pi plugins are expected to be TS. TS is becoming the one true language. Best get used to it.

Looks interesting, but they need to clean up the claudese in those bullet points holy crap. It's like they purposely want the "what you get" section to be as obtuse as possible.

I was an adjunct math professor at a University for a few years and I completely agree with this. There is this propaganda circulating in (and out of) education that testing is not a good measure of mastery, but it 100% is. It's a hard sell for public schools because, as you said, people will fail more.

Math is an even tougher sell because it's largely a service department. It's hard to justify holding non-majors up because they can't pass calc 2. For upper division math though tests are the way.

It’s a difficult conversation to have because critiquing the wealth accumulation tends to get you shouted down as a communist. I’m a believer in capitalism as well but our current system has produced people that are so wealthy they are effectively above the law. Some limit on wealth accumulation really needs to happen.

This seems to be a common argument essentially “If a rich guy get $1000 and as a result I get $10, then I shouldn’t complain because I got $10” but this glosses over the fact that money is a proxy for power. The rich guy got more power over resources from this deal. Over the years this leads to more power inequality which is bad because now the rich guy can start doing other things to me and I have no recourse.

…yet. I’m definitely concerned for the future. Especially because uv is so good. The rug pull is going to hurt a lot.

You don't think spending the days with your family, hunting/growing food to feed that family would be fulfilling?

Obviously I don't know the answers, and there were obviously tons of day-to-day stressors that sucked, but I'm not so sure it's a given that people of the past did not find life fulfilling/meaningful.

What would be the most interesting is option 3. This behavior is so apparent and pervasive in human interaction that it dominates other answers.

I don't know if that's true, but it would be interesting.

> despite that this isn't some universal constant in the training data.

Seems to me that the opinion being a consistent among LLMs show that it is in fact a constant in the training data, just not apparent. The idea that “humans would rather be wrong together than right alone” seems to ring pretty true to me. I would not be surprised after training on all human communication this pattern emerged.
