Pi is the "I use arch btw" of harnesses right now.
But I do love it - super customizable, and my token usage seems way more efficient (this is purely vibe based ofc) compared to codex/cc.
I basically just install pi-fabric, pi-blackhole, grill-me and that's it. Tell my AGENTS.md to prefer subagent workflows. Herdr to manage all the terminals. I spend 99% of my professional work in this environment, I can't even remember the last time I had to open vscode/nvim.
I'm using Pi with Herdr as well right now. It's been quite nice. (I use the organization similar to projects for the Claude / Codex GUIs).
Herdr is OK - but the actual interface / layout is nice. I previously would have like 6 terminals open and would lose track of which was which. I'm not super into the subagent workflows, but it's been helpful a time or two.
The only reason Herdr is just OK is because using agents to collaborate will sometimes just hijack my prompt input field. Maybe I'm using it incorrectly but I would have thought they might have a more elegant solution than that.
Maybe she enjoys it? Kids especially ones leaning ASD tend to have these kind of obsessions. I don't think anyone can force a 6 year old to practice rubik's cube 2 hours a day.
she started at earlier age, parents at that age can easily brainwash a kid, the kid will "enjoy" whatever they will tell him to enjoy, now after years of abuse, sorry, I mean training, she doesn't even most likely know there is any alternative to life like this
I can assure you Chinese parents can very easily force 6yo to do anything 2 hours a day (she spends most likely more hours a day than they claim), what is she gonna do, what's her other alternative at this age?
Most countries have versions of this, not unique to China. Many parents are willing to use their kids to achieve what they could not and be successful even in horrible ways.
In the US you have child stars, beauty competition, sport sponsorships, talent scouts and alot more horrible ones I won't mention, ways that parents push their kids into fucked up industries, drugs, surgeries etc.
Not to defend this, but to say I wouldn't blame China but instead the international culture of everybody that watches a video of children online or tv. Stop it, it is never for the enjoyment of the child, always the fucked up adults around them.
I always cringe when someone shows me a video of someone who has an amazing singing talent and it's some 7 year old...
sure, this does exist in many places, but not to the extent that it happens in china. in the west these cases are the exception, in china they are more like the norm.
what the kids enjoy is getting their parents approval. that's what encouragement does. the key is to encourage children to do things that are actually good for them. i am glad my chinese wife got trained as a montessori teacher. they know a thing or two about what's actually good for kids.
What's up with all the negativity? Apple is finally doing something radical (for them) again with the iPhone, their bread and butter. And I'm all here for it. 10 years of the same form factor was getting old. I'm gonna buy this on release, easiest decision ever.
If they had chose either of the other two folding formats, and reduced the amount of screen they cut off in the corners, they probably would have had gold on their hands and shifted the market towards foldables.
Triple fold just seems awkward as heck, plus you have to design the UI for it around the fold section. I’m pretty bullish on the duo design. Hopefully we see some more unique designs in the future if this works out.
Reminds me a lot of big tech campus interior decoration. A lot of greys, neutral colors, very little color or personality.
Pretty much what you'd expect from techies that never really thought too hard about their living space beyond functionality.
I mean, I'm the same, so no judgement, but I did hire an interior decorator for my own place. Definitely worth the money and my house has all kinds of funky fun stuff and colors going on (on top of being 130 years old and super wonky everywhere, ha ha).
bibliotek is an interesting one, and one of the most exclusive trackers around.
They have very high requirements as their entire purpose is archival. You can't download anything without uploading new content first.
It's probably the most complete archive of niche books in existence - it's a librarian's wet dream. No wonder LLM training used it, and probably paid a lot of money to someone for access.
I'll actually contradict you on this, while certainly bibliotek is one of those harder to get into and "survive" private tracker is nothing compared to "The* Network" with trackers like TheOccult, TheVault and so on... on these trackers you are actually required to take a interview with some of the staff members, if you ever manage to even get into one of them your activity will be heavily monitored by admins and moderators with god complex and they will decide if you are fit enough to be appart of that community... especially the admins of TheOccult they are extraordinarily strict and insane.. But again they actually host and share some very very rare books, but you need to contribute heavily to even access them...
Yeah I pretty much soley used assistant.kagi.com the last couple months. Traditional search days are really numbered.
I'm finding though ChatGPT with sol 5.6 is as good or better, so I'm using that primarily these days. Can also do actions in browsers on your behalf, so you can have it book your whole vacation, etc. Pretty rad.
There is a lot that agents can help with wrt search, but they also have a lot of blind spots. They work well many times, but then there are times where I find stuff that multiple llms missed. Imo this is gonna work as in many other domains, as in the more different tools one is proficient with (searching with llms, searching traditionally etc) the more successfully one solves problems.
Funny how that works out, because AI is the solution to a problem significantly worsened by AI. The web didn't used to be this terrible before chatGPT, now it's just so much slop. At this point AI is required to sift through all the bullshit caused at least in part by AI.
