point for my strategy of never reading the chain of thought. you might as well ask the model why it did what it did, the answer‘s not going to be any less bullshit

gpane simplification
Goal: trim bin/gpane.ts (rev qzksvqzu) without changing behavior. Work in revs on top for review. 3, 4, 5, 7 are squashed into qzksvqzu.
## Candidates
[✓] 1. Resize new split with resizeSplit (tylzyppm)
• --size path calls resizeSplit after the split instead of the split AppleScript doing it. -14 lines. Tested a 30% split live.
[✓] 3. axis() helper (squashed)
• Replaces the repeated up || down / left || right checks. Also dropped an unused extent in planResize.
[✓] 4. Shared combine() for size arithmetic (squashed)
• Used by candidates() in inferLayout and by treeSize.

![Is this how you want to go out, with a show that gets smaller and smaller until it’s gone?
Maybe that’s O.K. I think you have more of a problem with that than I do. [Laughs.] At this point in my career, I could go out with a grand, 21-gun salute, and climb into a rocket and the entire Supreme Court walks out and they jointly press a button, I’m shot up into the air and there’s an explosion and it’s orange and it spells, “Good night and God love.” In this culture? Two years later, it’s going to be, who’s Conan? This is going to sound grim, but eventually, all our graves go unattended.
You’re right, that does sound grim.
Sorry. Calvin Coolidge was a pretty popular president. I’ve been to his grave in Vermont. It has the presidential seal on it. Nobody was there. And by the way, I’m the only late-night host that has been to Calvin Coolidge’s grave. I think that’s what separates me from the other hosts.
I had a great conversation with Albert Brooks once. When I met him for the first time, I was kind of stammering. I said, you make movies, they live on forever. I just do these late-night shows, they get lost, they’re never seen again and who cares? And he looked at me and he said, [Albert Brooks voice] “What are you talking about? None of it matters.” None of it matters? “No, that’s the secret. In 1940, people said Clark Gable is the face of the 20th Century. Who [expletive] thinks about Clark Gable? It doesn’t matter. You’ll be forgotten. I’ll be forgotten. We’ll all be forgotten.” It’s so funny because you’d think that would depress me. I was walking on air after that.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qnyq7wies2uc56bzqmfz4q25/bafkreief4hu7c6hd6ymgqnsaejlaipfuj7fq4ka2tkix72pionkb3dkkdy)
![We know for a fact that even the most sophisticated LLMs aren’t fully capable of “common sense”. Humans on the other hand:
Understand the non-verbal communication and unstated intentions better than LLMs
Naturally push back until a mutual understanding is achieved.
When wrong, they’re consistently wrong, meaning they don’t have “jagged intelligence”
When right, they are [typically] right and continue to operate at an expected level (until fatigue hits but that’s different from AI flip flopping between success/failure).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ctphcgyhnllfluywokibtrgb/bafkreif7z722mdasxofcoh4yhg27qww5oe4an3zb6fez7ubsxpzf7csfme)
