The CalDigit TS5+. It's really nice!

Yeah, I use DAC for the desktop and fibre between floors. It's just the Mac's desktop that uses RJ45 copper.

Yeah, 10Gb ethernet runs hot. I just rewired the house with 10Gb (we have 8Gb FTTP) and it's kind of upsetting how hot my Thunderbolt dock gets.

Yeah there’s a sense in which the approach is a bet on the commoditization of tokens, honestly.

Some thoughts on a world of zero-marginal code code.

The tab key in BBEdit inserts a literal tab character, or advances to a tab stop. It doesn't indent the line, which is what I would argue it should do when writing code.

I wonder if it will ever get emacs tabs.

I think about this has having two separate but related concerns; how do we build tools that focus attention on the parts of the problem where human judgement is highest leverage; and how do we build harnesses that enforce invariants such that humans trust the attention focussing part. It's a challenge!

Don't love it. But, I'm glad the Astral folks are getting the bag.

I keep my agent workflows distinct; we have (for historic reasons) a lot of non-git controlled context that differs between branches, and moving all that around on checkouts is untenable. I use this tool:

with some custom shell aliases to make it easier.

I think it shouldn't be, and the poor affordances in git have hidden this for a long time.

That the product is useful does not mean the supplier of the product has a good business; and of course, vice versa. OpenAI has a terrible business at the moment, and the question is, do they have a plausible path to a good one?
