Check it out:
Zeno of Citium, the founder of Stoicism, is said to have envisioned a society in which all people lived according to reason, without law courts, temples, or currencies divided by city-states, in his now-lost book Republic.

That bit of information just blew my mind. If that's not an utterly anarcho-capitalist Bitcoin idea, then I don't know what is. And he wrote it 2000+ years ago!

BTW I'm close to finishing my essay on the convergence of Bitcoin and Stoicism. If there's anyone out there who has been genuinely looking forward to that piece, I apologize for the wait from the bottom of my heart. I have been letting you down - as well as myself - and I am painfully aware of that. I have two very good reasons for the delay though:

  1. The parallels run much deeper than I thought (I had no idea Zeno was basically an anarchist) and the essay, instead of being 2000-3000 words like I originally thought, is looking more like 7000+ words.
  2. I have simply been not at my best. Unmotivated, tired, undisciplined. Completely my own shortcomings.

All that being said, I go to war against myself every day. I put pen to paper every day, even when nothing noteworthy comes out of it (or sometimes it feels like it's too much to even put out there). But, as I said, the essay is very close to being finished.

If you want a preliminary idea into what it will be about, you can listen to this episode of the Bitcoin Art Magazine Podcast with @asanoha from December, where among other things discussed, I read most of the draft I had written at the time:

Why Cursor and not Claude Code / Codex cli?

reply
100 sats \ 3 replies \ @k00b 3h

Mainly:

  1. I'd edit/review in vscode anyway so it's all in one place (if I were in vim or emacs, I'd probably use the clis)
  2. I like model/mode switching
  3. Cursor's plan mode is my favorite AI thing right now ... I'm not sure what prompt they're injecting but my main workflow is:
    1. plan->review plan->plan->...
    2. have the agent mode build the plan
    3. do agent review while I do human review
    4. loop back to (a) until I'm happy
    5. push to github and have cursor bugbot review

Cool.

  1. I'd edit/review in vscode anyway so it's all in one place (if I were in vim or emacs, I'd probably use the clis)

Yeah I'm a vimmer so that's a bad assumption on my part - if you anyway use an IDE then that makes some sense. I just review on forgejo now that I've pipelined claude code. I no longer run it in a terminal unless something goes terribly wrong, then i just restore the session.

  1. I like model/mode switching

Why?

  1. Cursor's plan mode is my favorite AI thing right now

You get that in the cli tools too, and it often just gets triggered when going over the codebase. I no longer implicitly use it... if it wants to plan it can plan. Sometimes I ask it to comment on an issue with a plan instead of implementing it.

My workflow is:

  1. Write issue
  2. Tag issue with either of these:

  1. Work on something else or go shitpost on SN
  2. When I feel like it, look at notifications on isolated forgejo or my planning board that also gets fed by issues with bot/* tags. Review some PRs, merge what can be merged, write more issues.
  3. I run out of credits before everything is done all the time so I just reprioritize on the kanban and then I move on.

Why?

I like mode switching because I don't like it writing code without me understanding all the decisions being made. Modes are like different guard rails that help me predict what happens after I prompt.

I like model switching because I'm curious about the strengths/weaknesses of the models in my work/workflow. I'm using opus nearly all the time, but when a new model drops I switch to see if it'd be worth switching.

I just review on forgejo now that I've pipelined claude code. I no longer run it in a terminal unless something goes terribly wrong, then i just restore the session.

I'll end up here at some point. My AI workflow is close to my pre-AI workflow.

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @optimism 2h

About a quarter of the time when I just "oneshot" an issue into it I get a PR where I'm like "oh shit I forgot to spec something". Those are the second most costly.

The most costly is when I think "oh shit I didn't spec it" and then I look and I did spec it and I'm like must be I'm typing runglish so I just close the PR, prefix the line in the spec with "IMPORTANT: ", make it bold, and requeue it. And then 99.99% of the time all is good.

Your approach is more precise than mine, i'd do the same when I'd be coding anything other than tools with the bots, but I won't. Not yet... because too many mistakes, also with Opus.

My AI workflow is close to my pre-AI workflow.

Mine is fully segregated. My pre-AI work workflow has AI review before human review now.

@sox, this is annoying, when I’m writing a comment the box gets hidden behind the top bar! I’m using the browser on my PC.

👀👀👀 I’m going to be honest, I’m failing in imagining a scenario in which the top bar gets stuck there or you can’t just scroll.

I’ll get back to my trench in a bit, and I’ll try to find a solution. In the meantime can you give me more details on what’s going on?

reply

When I type something, the page auto-scrolls (down). I scroll up to see the box again, but as soon as I type anything it auto-scrolls again and hides the box.

I think you just gotta subtract the bar’s height from the auto-scroll.

Autoscroll on text boxes is a browser native feature, as such we’re not controlling any of it.

This does not happen on the browsers I’m using (Safari, Brave), at least to the extent of my testing capabilities (lol). Anyhow this might happen, we’ll want to make sure the editor never gets shadowed by the sticky bar so let’s see if your suggestion can be applied ^^

What is your browser?

If you want to bring down the system, you start with little things as traffic lights and post offices.

reply

I’m all for trying it that way but I won’t be surprised if the whole thing collapses with the streetlights still up.

reply

The point is not to create chaos by bringing down the street lights.
Taking down the street lights will make people to be careful to each others.

Here is very well explained by James Corbett

I didn’t think chaos was the point.

I’m saying it might be harder to convince people of minor changes than it is for the entire thing to collapse in on itself.

Naw. You start with dividing the people in the system, then they fight each other. Do your work for you.
