<p>Am not a fan of dealing with worktrees
Maybe for larger longer lived tasks but the time spent on merges from different agents is definitely a big headwind for parallel work.<p>This seems handled by this new agent which is cool.<p>I gave up on worktrees and hacked together a solution with fine-grained lockfiles for editing, running builds, etc that worked surprisingly good for what it was</p>

<p>This was discussed on polymarket with the Galve Goat burning bet and assume it's why<p>Essentially it's a big straw goat in Sweden that vandals sometime set on fire.<p>Right towards the end as the probability approaches zero there's a huge profit incentive, "done deals" usually go under well under 1¢ meaning 100-200x returns.<p>A US man once traveled to Sweden to set the goat on fire, he was caught, fined $20k(?) and then fled the country before paying the fine.<p>Risk reward in a situation like this absolutely creates a situation for prediction markets similar to the observer effect in physics, it's no longer predicting the future and instead altering it.</p>

<p>I assume it's generally unbecoming to reference 4chan posts for an academic but surprised the Shopping Cart theory didn't get a mention given how close it was to the subject matter.<p>>“The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing. To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To return the shopping cart is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their cart. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart. Therefore, the shopping cart presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it.”<p>>“No one will punish you for not returning the shopping cart, no one will fine you, or kill you for not returning the shopping cart. You gain nothing by returning the shopping cart. You must return the shopping cart out of the goodness of your own heart. You must return the shopping cart because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct. The Shopping Cart Theory, therefore, is a great litmus test on whether a person is a good or bad member of society.”</p>

<p>Wise customer service is amazingly good though.<p>I'd much prefer to use a company that spends 100% of the time on 80% of customers than one that spends 80% of it's time on 20% of the customers<p>OP can't even provide proof from the tax office of being at that address, it's an angry rant rather than the whole picture.<p>Would you go into business with him with nothing but a phone bill as proof?</p>

<p>I've personally found wise to be more than helpful and I've changed addresses across continents, to far more red flag jurisdictions than my native Australia<p>So while I feel for the person they seem very unwilling to meet a provider in the middle, is it not fair to question why this business pays no electricity or either owns/rent the property?<p>This is very basic stuff for a business to have. Nothing more than a phone bill at that address is bit iffy.<p>From a pure risk perspective buying a $2 sim card and putting whatever address you want in online then sending someone the PDF saying that's where we are is not hard to do, so maybe not worth having your business if you can't provide anything else to satisfy their worries?<p>There's plenty of banks that have to service you by law, go to them, and pay the far higher costs.</p>
