i had a dream about meat man. i think i'm gonna stop eating meat man.

if you know me irl, no you don't

there is still time
Going back to the OP, since you asked about "what about the other way around", 1. Internal planning/communication that leads to chosen external actions. 2. Humans indeed do this. 3. AI too indeed does this.

That's not a very good way to have a discussion.
September 16, 2026 at 9:10 PM
And maybe it's not exactly words but it's concepts and thoughts and planning that lead to a conclusion of "I get up and make a PBJ". The external actions were caused by internal thoughts. AI does the same thing, you can just see it happen in text and words every time.
September 16, 2026 at 9:04 PM
The way I think is with some grade of words or pictures in my head to solve the daily problems in life. "I have to go eat I want some peanut butter and jelly but I want to finish what I'm working on. I'll finish this step and then get up to make my PBJ and eat while I browse the internet".

So when an AI has its internal "thinking" and it processes out the details of a problem internally before saying something out loud or exposing itself externally, that's thinking.
September 16, 2026 at 9:02 PM
Probably shouldn't engage, but from the other side, "thinking" is an internal voice that brings one through a process of mental pathways. Voice doesn't mean words, but it does indicate an internal process that brings you to some grade of answer or conclusion to a problem.

mmm interesting! love that, can't wait to see more of it
September 16, 2026 at 12:56 AM
good analogy. just nods or pointing to papers you've left up to help communicate.

hometown mentioned wtf why is this coming from Erie Colorado

that's what stopped me from other options, the arbitrary random "oh this wont work right because x". pangolin being mine meant the restrictions or limitations were what I wanted and set.
September 15, 2026 at 3:53 PM
I swapped to Pangolin for a bunch of my stuff and it's been surprisingly nice. Same "tunnel" concept but not cloudflare at least.

as a not signal user that's actually such a cool way to set spoiler text maybe I should start using signal

good luck and please post aggressively when you start the swampy planet.

long term easier modification of levels. instead of arbitrary "xhigh" just a level from 0->n. let it work with whatever the underlying system handles. the api shouldn't define the arbitrary levels like this.

a user interface could easily just translate that out, why make the api so static like that

I didn't think about it and now I'm annoyed that isn't how it was built to begin with. why is it a string???

I've had some artisans that have come with me between sets. sometimes that little accent piece actually adds to cohesion.

also consider other keycap materials. keycaps are totally modular. slick and cohesive can _also_ be pretty :3

ALSO a nice keycap set can move to a new keyboard!

for the esc key? omg the esc slot is the prime slot for a fun artisan. etsy or r/mechmarket, there's so many fun options

tbh fair. I spent too long on tmux to give zellij a real chance. herdr is super nice. esp some of the plugins are really clean.
September 9, 2026 at 10:07 PM
tmux best multiplexer

I wish it had the same "local instance connects to remote server" like herdr though :(
September 9, 2026 at 10:02 PM
and then it does sick orchestration internally with dedicated harness processes it feeds text into

try orca onorca.dev it's a little hype-y but it's been my favorite tool for the week I've been playing with it. desktop has the main session, laptop connects to desktop, and phone connects to desktop, so the same sessions/worktrees are accessible to every system
