You should just launch it no? I’m looking to try one of these and getting to market fast is important because there will be many more very soon.

The use case examples are good, would be nice to include a couple that use browser automation or that feel more magical than reminders.

Is the memory functionality just what’s baked into OpenClaw/Pi or is it customized somehow?

Interesting - is it just the URL or is it actually crawling the phishing site to assess whether its phishing? And how does it distinguish the site bank.com from bąnk.com (with a little curly ą) if both are an identical clone of bank.com?

So cool to see the CTO of Sentry here! This makes some sense to me - I'm actually following an issue with Sentry I had recently and although it's not being fixed anytime soon at least I know the status.

https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-python/issues/370

I'd love to believe that one day someone will crack the nut of "Sentry puts a bounty on this issue and YPCrumble decides to make a PR because it's something he's experiencing AND he'd get some experience working on the Sentry codebase which would be a learning opportunity, and he feels like he's getting paid for his time."

People often claim that open source is more secure, which is implied in this release. But the CodeCov breach that leaked any secrets provided to CI/CD pipelines [1] was done via a bash script available to anyone to read the code. The breach wasn't complex at all. It was just that nobody noticed for a long time that the bash uploader script sent all secrets to a random IP address.

It makes me wonder what the benefit really is to being open source. Is it just marketing?

At first I didn't believe this could be true but the link is here: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2034577

It seems that Pfizer basically rammed the vaccine through because it prevented covid with 95% efficacy for a couple months and made the case that it was too effective to continue the study.

We now know that antibodies from Pfizer decrease significantly and quickly after a couple months, so it seems very likely that Pfizer knew this as well and decided that after two months was the perfect time to conclude their study and start selling vaccines.

It feels like most answers to “who is at the losing end of any transaction” is pension funds, which are guaranteed by the government. So by your theory PE firms are sucking in taxpayer money by fleecing pension funds run by financiers who aren’t smart enough to get into PE.

Basically until pension funds aren’t bailed out by the government this will continue.

As someone who doesn’t own an electric car, why are they better for the average driver?

The only thing I know about is their acceleration but that isn’t important to me personally as I prefer to drive slowly.

This is literally showing how parasitic these organizations are. Bankers think that banks exist to make themselves a lot of money, not to serve customers.

This is why organizations like SVB need to fail without any kind of bailout and executives need to go to prison for paying out bonuses if they paid them out knowing they couldn’t meet their fiduciary responsibility to customers.

Aren’t you supporting my point? Your current salary is lower because you are also earning a 1,000/month income in perpetuity for the rest of your life. And people who teach for longer, like you said, will get more.

Teacher salaries are low because unions have negotiated them to support pensions, especially pensions of teachers that last long enough to get a “much higher” pension.

This is a great answer, thank you. However this assumed the atmosphere is 45 km high and it seems very unlikely that these gases are light enough to go that high. If you assume the gases only go 1km in the air wouldn’t that assume a radius roughly 40x your initial estimate, or at least 1800 km to be within the 1 ppm threshold.

How much should people care about this who live in various radiuses? I.e., within 200 miles, is there zero cause for concern? Or is the type of thing that will do something like remove five years of life on average for people within five miles, one year within 100 miles, one month within 300 miles, etc.?
