Plus, many pre-installs (like Zoom) are web-apps that take no space (30 lines of text) and are easy to remove if you don't want them in the menu.

Easy to remove. Can even open your favourite AI assistant and ask it to remove it, since it comes with an Omarchy skill and knows how to change everything.

Inspired by projects like Vibecraft and Pixel Agents, Arcane Agents is a hotkey-friendly RTS-style control plane for tmux terminal windows (Claude Code, OpenCode, etc). Each agent shows up on a 2D map with automatic status detection (idle, working, needs attention, error).

Now how I start my day is I'll typically open 10-20 agents for different tasks I want to get done that day, group them spatially on the map - stock research over here, code updates over there - which helps with seeing which ones are done, which need input, which ones I've left for later. Finding it has been quite helpful with that context switching problem.

It's still new, so open to suggestions!

It's also open source, and it is easy to extend it with additional avatars if you don't like these particular ones.

I just copied a big HTML Tailwind component to a NotStr() and it worked fine.

I then split it in two, before and after, so I could make the dynamic bit from natural FastHTML components and it worked fine returning Div(before, dynamic_parts, after).

Plan to convert most of my smaller websites to FastHTML in the next few days before it's much more enjoyable for me.

Similarly, if you think a house is worth $500k but you list it for $600k, you don't know if someone will decide they love that house and they're willing to pay that amount or not.

That's one reason Opendoor tends to list houses at a fair premium to what they paid, as sometimes someone decides it is worth it and they make 20%+ on homes like that.

A big part of Opendoor is creating the right apps and processes to collect this information to feed their models. The machine learning part is important, but can give the false impression it's just about data scientists crunching numbers at head office, when in reality there's a huge real-world operational machine that's driving it.

They said it was wrong to do, reinstated those accounts, and are building the functionality to enforce those Chinese laws without ever impacting users outside China.

That's from their blog. https://blog.zoom.us/wordpress/2020/06/11/improving-our-poli...

>We also do not have a means to insert our employees or others into meetings without being reflected in the participant list. We will not build any cryptographic backdoors to allow for the secret monitoring of meetings.

They'll either deliver that or they won't.

For evidence that they've changed their focus you can see their April 1 blog post[1] and the weekly video AMAs they do that are summarised in their "90-Day Security Plan Progress Report" blog posts.[2]

They're making a lot of progress.

The Keybase acquisition is about building out a strong security team that will help them implement end-to-end encryption in 1,000 person meetings, which currently isn't possible anywhere.[3]

On April 1 the CEO basically said they messed up and would pause all feature development and focus exclusively on security & privacy for 90 days.[1] They've also done weekly video AMAs that are summarised on their blog under the 90-Day Security Plan posts.[2]

They've made a lot of progress.

The Keybase acquisition is absolutely about helping to build a security team that can help them implement end-to-end encryption across 1000 person meetings. You can see that from this Twitter post[3] from Alex Stamos and this interview[4] with him.

As of January 2020, they had 2,532 full-time employees. Of those, 1,396 were in the US and 1,136 were in international locations. Within the 1,136 is "more than 700" employees in R&D in China.[1]

A LinkedIn search for "engineer" working for "Zoom Video Communications" in location "United States" shows up 558 results.[2]

Their entire management team is in the US, and of their 17 data centres, only 1 is in China.[3][4]

The reason? "It just works."

It's clear their singular focus on making it "just work" for even the least tech-savvy users has led them to prioritise user experience over security/privacy. I imagine a rebalancing is coming.

The senior people are all in the US though.
