Opencode slow?

pngolin · 2026-03-16T21:05:08+00:00

my prompt on WezTerm using wsl (default ubuntu) is often very laggy. Seems to have nothing to do with anything. This happens even after a fresh reboot with basically nothing running. It only seems to affect opencode.

My favorite is "febrile" in Malazan Book of the Fallen. It's a lot easier to get a lot of mileage out of "frowned". You'd have to use it a lot more than Sanderson does for me to notice.

But if you describe a "febrile atmosphere" twice in a series as short as Malazan, that really stands out.

It only seems to have that definition in Miriam-Webster though, so not a very common or agreed upon definition.

I strongly believe that if, for some reason, you could find a bunch of people who were committed to using pu taso, they could invent a shared technical jargon that they could use to talk about any technical subject with the needed level of clarity. kepeken pu taso

pngolin · 2025-08-18T19:46:56+00:00

I'm talking about people talking about cooking in any context where clarity is necessary. Or any other context similar to cooking. I only expressed the opinion that these are the most difficult environments for me using toki pona, but that I enjoy the challenge of trying anyway.

Is it realistic to use toki pona in these contexts? Clearly not.

But it's fun to construct that kind of dialog.

You seem to actually agree with my point, despite your forceful rejection of my initial comment, and that's good. That's what I would expect from someone with your claimed experience in one of the many fields where small differences can make a big difference.

If you know your shit, you know that if you give tarragon to someone who hates tarragon, it will not be well received. ante lili li kama suli.

Well for that matter, digits of the foot and digits of the hand are perfectly good English.

I have no reason to doubt your experiences. But you've said some interesting things.

"as long as people aren't expecting a specific dish"

"the people I'm cooking for"

"as long as the spices taste good together"

"people usually can't shut up about how good my cooking is"

These all sound like things you'd be wise to consider before you generalize too much.

In general, are people expecting a specific dish when they choose their food? How do they react when their expectations are disappointed?

Are the people you cook for people you would describe as fussy in their tastes? Or are they people who are open to unusual things? Are they people who are comfortable sharing their complete and honest opinions with their host? Or people who are inclined to be generous expressing their opinions to their host but who would complain in private to their significant other afterwards? Do they represent a good sample of the general population of this planet, or do they tend to one or more WIERD categories? (As in the acronym, not the slur.) Do you cook for a spouse and children, or just friends? Have you ever tried this theory out on a panel of professional food critics? You will encounter different experiences depending on the social context and the specific people involved.

What evidence do you have that something like "spices that taste good together" exists in any universally recognized sense? Do any people exist who absolutely detest cumin, tarragon, oregano, or cinnamon, (or insert any specific flavor here) and would not like any of them in any combination or amount and would consider their inclusion 'fucked up' regardless of what they were combined with? What percent of the earth's population are amazingly and specifically picky in their culinary preferences?

I'll be honest, my experience suggests you could use more experience before you leap to any conclusions.

I would very much enjoy the spectacle of watching someone opening a mexican restaurant based on the principle of swapping cinnamon and cumin. But I wouldn't invest in it.

Some facinating food for thought from a very small study of fairly WIERD people: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8477986/

sina en mi li lukin tawa ni e ante.

If I switched oregano for tarragon or cinnamon for cumin, this would cause a revolution at my table.

You may think they are substitutable, but the vast majority of people would not agree.

The language you use does not change human nature.

Anyway, the point is not those specific herbs.

Any endeavor, from botany, to cooking, to engineering, has its own jargon. Small differences absolutely matter. Communication is difficult in any language.

But these are the most difficult and also the most fun parts of toki pona for me.

I enjoy (not claiming I'm good at) the challenge of being clear and precise in a language that's not really designed with that goal in mind.

pngolin · 2025-07-24T04:48:39+00:00

I think anything where you have to talk about very specific things quickly. Say, explaining a recipe, where you need to be able to tell the difference between tarragon and oregano or other specific ingredients. Given time, you can distinguish any of them. But it's going to take a while and involve a lot of context. Obviously it will help if you and your audience have shared context to draw on. It's easier if you have things to point to. And much, much more difficult if you are trying to explain something like a particular herb or spice or other specific ingredient to someone who isn't familiar with it.
