Biologists have a superiority complex about the “complexity” and “singular difficulty” of their field born out of a need for justification for the vast deficiencies of their field’s progress compared to others. Its an elaborate coping mechanism where the people in other fields which make envyable progress (eg software, cs etc)- sighted enough to have recognized and avoided the decrepitude of biological sciences- are in fact the ignorant ones who “struggle” , “incapable of grasping” the way that biologists think. Its an inversion designed to obscure the harsh truth that these outsiders in fact see quite clearly the way that biologists think and it is the reason they have so diligently avoided their field.

like a workstation under your desk? is the latency bad when you remote access it not in the office?

same! how do you deal with cloudtop latency though? sometimes my neovim is very slow and laggy because of the remote connection / network file system

what is the point of an "ai-terminal" when you can already just directly run ai in a normal terminal

your banner says:

> Bring any AI model into your terminal

its already there. there is no need for a special terminal to do this. in fact better to not have such a thing
