I prefer OpenClaw because it's more persistent. I know, I know, theoretically you could do the same thing with Claude Code and markdown files (which, to be fair, is pretty much how OpenClaw works), I guess it's mostly the telegram interface I like. Most of the time I don't have my laptop with me, and ssh using Termux, and opening a remote claude code is a much greater hassle than sending a telegram message, and with telegram (or whatsapp or discord or whatever) you get the benefit of being able to send voice messages, which I find very useful. In what way is Clawdbot "insane"? Obviously if you give it write access to your email and twitter and whatnot, that's not great, but for me I really just give it access to that probably wouldn't ruin my life / career if they got out (e.g. my class notes and Anki decks).

I don't see why not, but I also have no experience in that sort of stuff, so take my endorsement with a grain of salt

By schedule my tasks throughout the day, I mean that it will figure out when I should do each thing, not that it does all of the things for me.

Personally, I use it to manage all of the stuff I don't want to. I give it my course content and it makes flashcards for me to review. I give it my tasks and it schedules them throughout the day. All of the menial stuff that is necessary but not productive. It also has a much better memory than I do on account of it's constant access to a filesystem and grep. It's like my personal assistant and tutor and guidance counsellor and sysadmin, all in one. I do think that a) you need to stick with it for a few days and b) use a good model. When I first started using it, it was just a worse version of ChatGPT, but after bringing in all of my data from ChatGPT it's a lot easier for it to search for stuff when it's confused. Now it can also do stuff like manage nginx or my sync serviceand whatnot, ~autonomously. Originally I was using locally running qwen models, but they were so timid as to be useless. Right now I'm using Kimi 2.5 as my model.

Because LLCs aren't people

Am I missing something? LaTeX is associated with slop now?

How would this work for independent researchers?

(no snark)

I can't think of anybody apart from Osama bin Laden who wouldn't want to play Candy Crush. \s

Something with KDE. Never used KDE extensively because I hate non-tiling WMs, but something like Kubuntu would give you a more windows-esque experience by default. Here's the download link:

Bon appetit!

I guess the way one would verify that this is more general trend in academia would be to run this on accepted papers to a non-AI conference?

It was slow to load for me but loaded eventually.

I'm doing some research, and this is something I'm unsure of. I see that "suppressing null results" is a bad thing, and I sort of agree, but for me personally, a lot of the null results are just the result of my own incompetence and don't contain any novel insights.

I mean, to steelman their point, there's a lot more misinformation than information on Google. I still personally think that it's a worthwhile trade though

I believe so

"it objectively made the search product worse"

I would disagree, because without the advertising there probably would be no Google.

Google is one the most important institution of the Internet era. Talk all you'd like about "OoOoH tHeY aDvErTiSe" or "tHeiR aLgOrItHm Is GeTtInG wOrSe" but at the end of the day, Google still brought knowledge to more people than anything before (apart from maybe Gutenberg).

The way you phrased this makes it sound like he's a shill, but his takes about AI don't seem unusually complementary.

For me personally, LLMshave helped me learn 10x faster than I would be able to otherwise. IMO, in 15 years, teachers with university degrees at all wll be as rare as teachers with PhDs today, because the actual teaching will be left to the LLMs.

This is the end result of Finland annexing the UK, lol

I think GP meant that in the sense that the EU is not a nation, it's a union of nations.

Cloudflare's job is not to call truth to power. Cloudflare's job is to make money.

The next billion-dollar idea.

C-canadian??

This is cool! This summer I made something similar but in C++. The goal was to build an entire LLM, but I only got to neural networks. GitHub repo here: https://github.com/amitav-krishna/llm-from-scratch. I have a few blogs on this project on my website (https://amitav.net/building-lists.html, https://amitav.net/building-vectors.html, https://amitav.net/building-matrices.html (incomplete)). I hope to finish that series eventually, but some other projects have stolen the spotlight! It probably would have made more sense to write it in Python because I had no C++ experience.

Oops, didn't get enough sleep last night, it should be stressed out of his mind.

That last sentence reminded me of a story one of my religion teachers told us last year: he was in university, and the way the course was structured was something like there were two exams, mid-term and final, each worth like 50%, but you could choose to not do the mid-term, and have the final be worth 100%. He chose the latter, and ended up being stressed out of the mine preparing for the exam. I can't remember if there was supposed to be a moral to the story, but it was a funny story, at least. It was probably funnier in-person than it will be for the person reading this comment.

This comment made me laugh, because I was looking into doing an online highschool, and while looking for discussions on the pros/cons, I stumbled upon the Reddit, which was all "Does anybody have the answers to the Unit 3 test for Mr. ${LAST_NAME}'s MCR3U class? I have $20." or "Selling the answers to the Unit 4 test for Mrs. ${LAST_NAME}'s ENG4U class for $30." That scared me off of doing high school online.
