To what extent is our extended increase in work time related to societal desire to increase standards of living?
Cost of living is terribly high. How much is because we’re comparing different standards? Not all of it, I think, but some for sure.
We don’t think it’s ok to not have running water, electricity, education, sanitation, etc. we think it’s worth societal costs to provide public benefits like fire control, roads, law enforcement, zoning, etc.
I think it’s interesting to consider what makes it harder to live in the modern world that it takes more money to do it.
I've been circling around the feeling of this problem for a while. We need a foundation of security for agents. And we have good examples of how to do delegation.
AI says many true things. That doesn’t mean I want to read someone else’s AI generated output. I want something in the article to show that the author spent more time writing than I will spend reading, and by a wide margin, or else I know they feel that my time is not valuable.
My biggest question, that I didn’t see answered, is how the transition comes to an end. If creds aren’t in your system, how well do they transfer? Does it require user involvement? What if they don’t fast enough? What about complex integrations like SSO, SCIM, and passkeys (which are domain scoped)?
I'm working on queueio (https://github.com/ryanhiebert/queueio), a background task runner for python that uses asyc function to communicate with the queueing system, but encourages using regular synchronous and blocking code for the actual work.
It fits the bill for me where function coloring provides something truly useful that you can't get without threading. Using Celery canvas to compose signatures is a great step, but the added power of being able to compose them in a more standard code flow is the killer feature that I wanted bad enough to write it myself.
