That's because he doesn't have a product yet

this is a solved problem with mosh

I instantly lose respect to any man that "drove crowded roads like a maniac, and got bored and slowed down on open ones. He wrecked a car roughly every year"

sorry just double checked what I said, it wasn't true, no such announcement. I misremembered

I think they said they will discontinue Air, it currently supports codex and claude as harness as opposed to pi, and own UI lib (this one seems web/electron based), shame.

> vertical tabs, that's it

split panels, profile switcher, tab groups...

The 90% remaining are UI gimmicks that are irrelevant anyway (mods, custom cursor, free canvas?). Even when Arc was still alive they're useless which is why the browser died (it sucked at doing things that matter). Zen just picked up this lack of focus and make it worse with the solo maintainer situation.

> first

Firefox has those features now, that's all that matters. Not sure I wanna trust a solo dev on my daily browser, however competent they are.

I've never been a host but I can't see why this would be a problem that AirBnB should make a call on. I've travelled to places where they have different social norms and visitors should adapt to local culture.

How is this on the front page? Stealing from the Chinese is good?

Most useless UI element

isn't that what arm trade has always been since the beginning of history?

what's the name of that country who's really good at this stuff? I can't remember

This is not about vision or anything like that it's about thinking like actual engineers and understand that what accidentally IS will always be inferior to what is designated to (can) be. TUIs will always be a hack and good by accident.

What's the logic behind not showing people the thing they are offered to download? And when you "peek" it, the thing seems... pretty standard stuff

GUI is not just your "overlapping windows" straw man, it's interactivity, plus graphical display. Yes via a taxonomy hack TUI is not GUI and there are technical hacks that bring graphics to TUIs these days, but the point remains that we need complex (but not overlapping windows, sure!) interactivity and rich display capability.

That is what we need, and if you're making the argument that a terminal shell is the best place to provide them then I don't know what to say.

You're a software engineer living in a middle of an AI revolution and you confuse what IS with what CAN BE? GUI can be good people just didn't do them because it took time and the foundation was shit (for the options that didn't take time). That all changes now when a new class of software can be generated with AI. Unfortunately the people generating software and their users still base the decision on what IS (with highly technical reasoning such as "infinitely better"). People literally have the power to define what IS these days. I've only recently switched from claude and codex cli to their respective apps and those apps while not the best gui apps, already infinitely better than tui. The tui is actually hurting my main usage of them which is controlling agent programmatically. The only really point I'd give for TUI is compatibility. Running coding agent directly on android/ios is nice sometimes.

I don't do this at my day job (coworkers would be pretty mad). This is for software ideas that come up weekly that I need to execute to at least MVP before I ever need branching/merging

Not complex at all, only one extra session other than the ones doing work and it's on a dumb model and can be thrown away & restarted because it only dispatches work, not doing anything.

I do everything in there, collecting requirements, kick off research, branching, merging, not one other agent on top. I considered making that orchestration command llm-powered but it's not justified at my current use.

It's not more expensive, in fact I could have just chugged along with the slow and manual session by session work but I have a claude subscription and another GLM one (the most low cost basic tier, not even much), that just sit there collecting dust if I don't put them to use in a more efficient way.

And doing session by session would face your problem when context switching too much become unscalable.

Self censorship is the term I believe. As an Asian I definitely do have this part of my brain that tells me to handle everything in a pragmatic, locally optimal way, even when it's unjust.

I created an orchestration skill for myself (using herdr but any persistent mechanism works). So I then only interact with a front session and it will triage and dispatch each request to the relevant spaces (each of them can have multiple worktrees of the same project), summarize movements and pending decisions for me all at once. I do not directly interact with a multiplexer or any dashboard.

6 years since M series and arm PC still hasn't picked up

The difference is similar to that of people with insane net worth to normal people. You have lots of leverage to do globally impactful things (positive or otherwise). You're there by lining up a long series of met conditions, not by virtues only.

Can I have the "minimal phone" that is a powerful ai assisted productive computing device. Minimal in UI only and not literally an useless machine?

Public security cameras are not widely deployed, like, at all. However the police state in Vietnam (the current president came from the same position Putin held before presidency) has adopt this amusing practice of showing up & demanding security footage from private houses' cameras facing the street (which, turns out to cover much more than surveillance cams could ever).

More insane is them also passing a law that forbid usages of the same footages for citizen journalism purposes. This came out after someone posted a footage from their home cam recording that controversial accident when a congressman hit and kill a high-schooler unprosecuted. You can look it up.

sounds like a problem engineering can't solve? Stop using bricks is an idea.

do you build a car from raw materials and casting every component in the same shop?

It's kinda ridiculous that we still build walls brick by brick, on site, instead of just building most of the house elsewhere and only assemble at the site.

There is a film called "Thung Lũng Hoang Vắng" (Desolated Valley) about teachers who got posted at one of these minor communities, set in Northern Vietnam. There were programs that aimed to improve literacy and integration of these communities into modern society and it's all good in intents but the film raised questions (at least to me) on how the communist government implemented them.

You brought up the people being displaced by settlements, but the film focuses on school teachers who get sent there against their will which completely changed the course of their lives. Back then almost everyone worked for the government and teachers, like soldiers, can be assigned to such outpost if they didn't have connections.

As a Vietnamese, that sounds meaningless because Vietnam never had much of a "surveillance system" nor an effective population database well into the 2000s. I have no doubt the effort was there for them to control people, but a complete lack of competency invalidated it.

> it's really no different than vanilla CSS

Is this supposed to be a plus? When you have indirections they're supposed to provide some abstraction and the abstraction might or might not provide the utilities you desire, but there is a point to it. A near 1:1 mapping is completely useless and just a different syntax for the sake of it.

Probably the most damaging idea ever exiated in frontend dev. I'm glad that AI now abstracts all that crappy tailwind code away so I can stop giving a shit.

sounds useless and ridiculous
