Error in TypeScript + ESM setup

Hi,
I'm using thread-stream (through pino) in a project that uses TypeScript compiled to ESM modules, running in Node.js.

I'm getting this error when running the project:

file:///path-to-project/node_modules/thread-stream/index.js:50
  const toExecute = bundlerOverrides['thread-stream-worker'] || join(__dirname, 'lib', 'worker.js')
                                                                     ^
ReferenceError: __dirname is not defined in ES module scope
This file is being treated as an ES module because it has a '.js' file extension and '/path-to-project/packages/repco-cli/package.json' contains "type": "module". To treat it as a CommonJS script, rename it to use the '.cjs' file extension.

I could fix the error through a hackish solution for the time being:

import module from 'module'
import p from 'path'
import pino from 'pino'

// Fix thread-stream error due to __dirname
// @ts-ignore
globalThis.__bundlerPathsOverrides = {
  'thread-stream-worker': p.join(
    p.dirname(module.createRequire(import.meta.url).resolve('thread-stream')),
    'lib',
    'worker.js',
  ),
}

const logger = pino()

However, it would be nice if that could be fixed somehow upstream.

Start at node_modules/thread-stream/index.js around createWorker, especially the __dirname reference at line 50, and inspect the lib/worker.js path it selects. Reproduce the reported TypeScript-compiled ESM setup through pino; done means the project runs without the __dirname ReferenceError and no consumer-side global override is required.
