@theo Niri take 2!

[Rafael Zayas @rafazaya]

He’s been up 2-0 in the finals before and lost. This interview has big time aura that he won’t let it happen again.

@trq212 This problem isn’t that bad, but docs on telegram group setup would helpful (like group vs supergroup, finding group id…)

It’s great to plan a family trip, the Claude agent is running from our obsidian vault folder.

@Rhiz3K @theo My kingdom for an agents-interaction app that works does /remote well

[Rafael Zayas @rafazaya]

@AccountMus629 @theo Hmm I’m also on niri/cachyos and haven’t had this problem. My guess is you can set up an xdg var so it knows which file dialog to use.

My different problem is that links don’t click through for me, and I’m trying to sort that out, but I think it’s the same class of problem.

@mattpocockuk Which is kind of interesting right? How we mentally embed details of implementation in our “gray box” understanding.

I suspect the next generation will bear less cognitive load per project, and us implementors of old may be outgunned.

[Rafael Zayas @rafazaya]

@mattpocockuk An interesting question then is what is the AI leverage one can achieve, i.e. how many more projects can you oversee as “gray box” vs deeper understanding. Is it 10x leverage? I don’t think it’s 1000x or anything like that based on how mentally tired I am each day.

The scorched earth AI take that “your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping” is so hot, and so obvious, that I’m seething with jealousy I didn’t think of it first.

[dax @thdxr]

everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code

here's what things actually look like

- your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping

- majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life

- they're not using AI to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend

- the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon

- even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real

- your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills

[Rafael Zayas @rafazaya]

@albertadevs Yeah, like water is claude code for life

[Rafael Zayas @rafazaya]

@Glas109 @theo @YaLTeRz I was going to suggest dms after starting to read your tweet… CachyOS ships Noctalia shell by default now, which a lot of people like. Also, most AI is good at setting up niri configs, especially if you link the wiki, so if you can say what you want you can probably make it.

[Rafael Zayas @rafazaya]

@bytebot @theo @YaLTeRz He said elsewhere it’s CachyOS which has a niri option at installation

[Rafael Zayas @rafazaya]

@compuficial @theo I have the gen 12 of this, and it’s really good, but I think the trackpad would be a downgrade from the MacBook. But maybe that’s just a Linux driver thing. I’m watching this thread for other refs though.

[Rafael Zayas @rafazaya]

@Voxyz_AI @theo 100%, it’s like you can just have your OS and dotfiles be another project in the background, that Claude is constantly improving while you also work on other projects

[Rafael Zayas @rafazaya]

@theo Hah! FWIW Last year before I was using Claude all the time, https://t.co/EBguNz73D8 was a tremendous help in getting my Linux desktop working, so I’m happy to pay it/ruin it back.

[Rafael Zayas @rafazaya]

@DanePoyzer @theo I started using niri just before I got into claude code, but that way of scrolling horizontally within a project, and vertically between projects fits my mental model quite well. The annoying thing was to create browser profiles to spawn new browser windows in each workspace.

[Rafael Zayas @rafazaya]

@karpathy I’ll never forgive Google for shutting down Google Reader, it was nearly perfect, and the signal to noise of being online was SO much higher back then then.

[Bojan Tunguz @tunguz]

Who's exactly serving whom in this scenario?

[Rafael Zayas @rafazaya]

@thdxr Is there any info on how the usage is licensed? I ask because the copilot cli tool is under the pre-release software license, which has much less data protection than the regular enterprise copilot usage. @thdxr @opencode @jaredpalmer

[Rafael Zayas @rafazaya]

@jaredpalmer @knotbin @thdxr I'd love to be able to use opencode connected to github copilot! Would the data policies be the same as accessing via VS Code?
