Its hilarious how everyone in the comments is like "Look I built the same thing" Ya'll really need to checkout that 15 year old talk from Peter Thiel about not building the same thing as everyone else. LLMs have destroyed problem solving, creative thinking in general. Why don't you people actually solve problems that matter and are original rather than making the equivalent of nvim configurations of the llm era?

> LLMs have destroyed problem solving, creative thinking in general. People probably had just as many uncreative ideas before, but lacked the ability to execute on them. Remember the "idea guys" constantly looking for tech cofounders to build their "brilliant" visions? Now, LLMs have given them the ability to execute.

Interesting choice because tailscale is not free. Building in a paid third-party service is a questionable decision. They better acquire it, if their product catches on. Building with wireguard directly instead of tailscale would have been my choice, but of course it requires more plumbing.VC money means they gotta move fast. But as a potential user, I won't pay for tailscale just to use their product.

What's wrong with the Tailscale free tier? There is also Headscale if you want to self host. https://headscale.net

There is nothing wrong with tailscale, it's just a dependency that can cost money charged by a third-party, so their product is less self-sovereign because it depends on tailscale keeping up a free tier.

Headscale seems interesting! I'll check it out

> which is a rounding error to his income class. Not at all. The idea is that his class claim very little income, if any income. His income class is ~$0 (or believed to be, at least). You can certainly make an argument that the claim isn't true, that the ultra-wealthy are actually already paying huge sums in income tax, but then you cannot take the thread out of context. It was clearly directed at those who believe t…

Step one means fuck-all nothing with a cap of $800K. Its not as if billionaires truly pay $0 in tax. $800K is approximately $0 to a billionaire so they'd all just pay that.

> Its not as if billionaires truly pay $0 in tax.

Exactly. Which means the plan is automatically invalidated by its own design. It literally states that it exists only to appease those who believe that the wealthy don't pay tax, which is unnecessary as the wealthy already do pay tax. I guess that's what makes it a good plan. It is already in effect!

Sounds like something that could be done with by pulling in a few dozen Emacs extensions and writing a few thousand lines of elisp. (And one of those extensions would be the libghostty base ghostel.) It's sort of what I'm doing already -- using emacs-server to provide portable persistent sessions on top of a bunch of terminals, agents and editor buffers. It's a 1% effort on my part and super janky and super me-specif…

Care to share your setup? I'm currently working on pretty much the same thing and it's looking good so far, but having a single user makes it hard to get enough feedback.

Hmmm, it's a fairly stock emacs setup. Most of the weird/specific stuff is outside of emacs: setting up a sandbox, managing worktrees, managing disk space because each worktree can easily contain 200GiB of build artifacts, et cetera.

The Emacs parts of it are all either stock or partially or fully broken.

I've got notification support but it's broken.

I'd love to use agent-shell because it's a much better way to interact with agents than using their stupid TUI's, but it's currently broken with Claude for me and is way behind the claude TUI.

So instead I use claude-code-ide.el inside of a ghostel, but it's got a large number of friction points. Mostly due to claude's broken TUI.

I'm on holiday.

That's probably not the type of work/life balance they're looking for employees to have.

While that might be tongue-in-cheek, no company I have ever worked at has had a better work/life balance than the earliest days of HashiCorp (low tens of people) when Mitchell was the CEO.

"lifestyle business" is sometimes used as a derogatory term to describe setting up a corporation for a hobby that is not really meant to be profitable.

That's not what a lifestyle business is.

It is how I hear people using the term idk what to tell you

Sounds super interesting! What's your approach?

Still exploring different options but at the moment I run a daemon on each node that connects via iroh to link the nodes (and NAT traversal). Once the link is established the nodes share data via a Raft-based datastore. I can launch a TUI client on any machine. This presents a chat interface like a typical LLM harness. From here I can configure which model I want to use, how the model is executed and on which node (f…

I’m sorry. I tried to understand what is this about, but I couldn’t. The title didn’t explain it. The description neither. I remember I heard a saying somewhere that if you can explain what you are doing in a few simple sentences, then is is this really something valuable?

The vision of having a shared interface for all work seems pretty clear to me.

That describes a computer
