I have an org going with 14 or so repos. Didn't know about this special repo for the whole org you can make. Also learned about how to tell codex the root level dir for the org can have an org level AGENTS.md file.
but neither could tell me how to get an image from the camera to my golang program. And yet, the little sample webui program that the firmware serves up on port 8080 has a nice javascript webapp that can get an image from the camera. But, yes, no source. So AI read the bundle and boom, I now had a way to get the image.
"Dr. Donald Hoffman challenges the traditional scientific view that physical matter and spacetime are fundamental. Instead, he argues that consciousness is the foundational reality, while spacetime acts merely as a virtual reality headset that renders objects only when we perceive them. Hoffman introduces recursive trace logic, a mathematical framework suggesting that our physical existence is a low-probability, training wheels version of a much broader, disembodied conscious network."

This is called Idealism. It's a very very old idea, and a totally unsatisfying one.
It is, I think, wholly unconvincing. It is at root solipsistic, and far beyond any notion of proof or validation. Saying that "consciousness is the fundamental thing" (and ignoring that there are perfectly mundane explanations for consciousness) reduces all of physics to black-box metaphysics.

Very unsatisifying indeed. I've always thought of it as the human penchant for escapism. In casu trying to interpret the world so that we control it. Which brings us back to Freud and the human condition: We are born trying to control things around us, fighting against our limits and learning to live with them.
You still need to reason and predict physical phenomena. You could run the world on black-box metaphysics if black-box metaphysics has math that works better. How does Platonism help us there?
Not much. That's the problem. If the universe is a projection of the self, that's fine if true, that's valid if true. We want to believe in things that are true even if they violate our sense of phenomenological aesthetics. But if true, I'm gonna need you to manifest me a million dollars or interrogate your soul for the winning powerball numbers tomorrow. I'll wait.

codex -> /Users/aa/os/codex/codex-rs/target/release/codex
and I stopped using the npm codex.
When this branch opens it says:
"OpenAI Codex (c20a2f04)"
where c20a2f04 is the git sha it was compiled on
