It's the exact auth control I want. However, it seems it's not a safehouse for local agents, but a safe cage, IMHO. After all, it prevents damage they might cause.

IMHO the right-click menu these days seems to get better, at least I can find "Open with Code" or "Open in Terminal", etc. Except that I need the old menu to create a desktop shortcut occasionally.

Good for you. It's like you are a 2-thread human-LLM CPU.

Ask HN: What do you do while ChatGPT-5 is thinking?

I use ChatGPT-5 Thinking a lot for day-to-day work. I prefer the response quality over speed, so I always pick the longer-thinking model. It takes ~1–5 minutes (often 1–2) to respond, but those short waits are getting increasingly distracting.

I find myself doing something else, and it eventually takes more than the thinking time. Such as right now, it takes me 5 minutes to write this post, and ChatGPT responded like 3 minutes ago.

Does anyone else have the same problem? What do you do during these gaps? :D

This reminds me of S07E01 of the TV show Black Mirror, which tells a story about a free brain tumor operation, followed by a monthly fee for "remote mind hosting". The standard plan goes worse and worse; your brain needs to serve as a computational resource while sleeping, and they keep pushing you to upgrade to Plus or Lux plans.

This is actually a quite interesting game, I played it for like 2 hours when I saw it first time.

Decreasing the number of columns looks like rotating some noisy parallel lines counterclockwise. Very fun.

There's a book called "Proofs without words". Fun to have a glance. (https://ia801405.us.archive.org/24/items/proofs-without-word...) It also has a sequel.
