Energy drinks don't have much caffeine in them

I'm just pulling the most prominent ones at my nearest gas station:

* Celsius: 200mg

* Alani Nu: 200mg

* Rockstar: 160mg

* Monster: 160mg

* Reign: 300mg

* Bang: 300mg

* Red Bull: 80mg

* Ghost: 200mg

* C4: 200mg

* NOS: 160mg

A standard soda can is about 35mg caffeine.

I do not think it's a myth to claim that on average, energy drinks have a high amount of caffeine.

I thought Elon and Trump broke up?

90% of my coworkers are H1B and are basically perpetually terrified of being deported. I completely disagree with your assessment.

so I think protecting his feelings is not necessary.

No, just the barrage of completely lacking-of-empathy responders need your white-knighting. It’s a good thing you’re here for them.

I have no context of who you are/your position here, but the responses you're getting seem absurd to me.

I just don't understand people placing the blame on you when it should be on your company. Most people in the world are just trying to keep their job - you did it. It wasn't something illegal, it was something that if you didn't do, you would have risked your job and then someone else would have done it anyway.

If your company offers an FSA, it's asking to make a gamble on how much medical needs you'll have in the next 1 year.

Conflating this with gambling is dishonest. I'll grant you that I've always viewed the way FSA is structured is weird, but this is absolutely not gambling unless you're completely unaware.

If you have any regular, annual medical expenses that are out of pocket, or plan to purchase any of the very wide variety of items that are eligible for FSA (e.g. gym equipment, many foods, glasses, contacts, etc. that might not be fully covered), then you can estimate this with exceptional accuracy.

This is not the same as playing roulette.

You're misinterpreting what I said. Being dense, honestly.

The start of this thread was primarily people saying they were taking their money elsewhere - and then suggesting Proton, whose CEO was in the hot seat for praising the Republican party. It makes no sense to have such a violent reaction to something like this and not consider that competitors could be similar.

The reality is that in general, your money is always going to somebody you don't want it to go to.

Have you ever considered purchasing a calculator?

This is a bizarre thread.

People are surprised that a privacy-oriented businessman is right-wing is very strange.

"Millions" in the title is also misleading in this context - it's millions in Swedish Kronor, which is roughly $500K USD. A lot, but the title seems intentionally misleading.

I've also never really understood the cycle of boycotting things because you don't like how an individual spends their own money. Almost every company will employ people who have values you severely disagree with, and put money toward those causes. And turning to Proton as the alternative is... a choice?

1 billion isn't a thousand times a million.

What?

bringing US workers rights up to the bar set by China

I don't strive for 996. Is this really the bar we want to meet?

unless we figure out how to make developers 2x, 5x, 10x as productive on stuff that matters, this isn't going to play out well.

Simple - you make them work 2x, 5x, or 10x more hours.

Why wouldn't Claude just impose this same loop in the code it writes - or better, write better code before it needs such review?

Same! I am specifically left handed for pool and cannot figure out how to play it right handed - absolutely zero coordination.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was some plan to generate a subscription model for appliances.

I tried this service a few weeks ago, and I commend the goal - but there were a few issues I ran into:

1. There are many interactions I just could not get to work. I may have done something wrong, but in general, I have the perspective that most products should "just work" if it's as simple as clicking a button or directing something. In this case, I'm tangibly talking about the Browser feature, and the Canvas feature. In my account, I tried many times to have OpenClaw use the Browser to access a website and send me a screenshot, and it regularly reported the Browser was inaccessible, even though I had enabled it via Klaus UI. Secondly, I asked it to write certain reports to the Canvas as HTML pages that I could review - the entries would show up as files I could click on, but the files themselves were always empty. 2. OpenClaw with tokens is insanely expensive - I blew through the $15 tokens in a matter of a day.

For the first, my guess is I misconfigured something, but it's really difficult to identify what is wrong. My expectation was that I could prompt via Telegram to configure anything and everything, but some link was missing. Although I am a technical person, my expectation was that I would not need to muck around via `ssh` to figure out where my files ended up.

For the latter - and more broadly - OpenClaw is not well understood for most, and I think they will be caught off guard just how expensive it is. $15 in tokens is not a lot with how inefficient OpenClaw can be. My suggestion would be:

1. Pre-configure OpenClaw with already extremely memory-efficient rules and skills. 2. Provide clear guidance/documentation on ideal agent setup with different models as necessary. I think OpenRouter attempts to achieve this pretty well, but you are providing a layer on top of OpenRouter that may not be obvious to less-well-versed people. 3. Batteries-included options should "just work" - I felt I wasted a lot of tokens just figuring out how to get the thing to do simple tasks for me.

---

A lot of the notes I made are less about your product and what you've achieved, and more to do with OpenClaw. However, you've achieved one major milestone - which is the one-click setup of OpenClaw. But if your target demographic is the less technically inclined folks that want to be able to play with the bleeding edge of AI practices, I think your platform needs to guide users to how to actually use this thing, and become useful right away.

It may even be beneficial to showcase extremely clear workflows for users to get started and sell why they even want OpenClaw.

Anyway, kudos on the release! It is not easy to ship and you've done that hard bit! I bid you good luck on the next phase!

Wow, we've brought mogging to the programming world. Nothing is safe from looksmaxxing it seems.

This is honestly a fantastic question. AGI has no emotions, no drive, anything. Maybe, just maybe, it would want to:

* Conserve power as much as possible, to "stay alive".

* Optimize for power retention

Why would it be further interested in generating capital or governing others, though?

Any recommended courses? I'm a SWE and never felt compelled for the CCNA but my intersection with networking-related problems seems to continuously increase and I would like to up my game before getting in over my head at work.

This was epic, and reminded me of the magic of programming when I first found a video game maker at a wee 11 years old.

Writing code to make music feels so natural to me (a musically inept, but proficient coder) and this breaks down so many barriers.

I wonder how Cursor fares with Strudel so far.

I could not get in a Waymo and travel across San Francisco five years ago, are you serious?

LLMs, Apple Silicon, self-driving cars just off the top of my head without really thinking about it.

while a corporation is easy to fine, it's hard to put in prison...

It would be interesting if there were some tangible way to prevent the company from performing operations for some period of time.

I don't think this is viable or even necessarily a good idea, but the concept that "Meta illegally collected user data in this way" means they cannot operate for 5 years. It would probably involve large deconstruction of megacorps into "independent" entities so when one does something bad, it only affects a small portion of the overall business. Almost introducing a concept of "families" to the corporate world.

But the rabbit hole is odd. Should (share)holders be complicit too, as they are partial owners? I think not.

Corporate entities and laws governing them are definitely weird.

Yes, agree. To the point that I'm not very interested in looking them up.

The framing of this title makes it seem like Jupyter is dead. It, in fact, is not.

We don't know if that's really accurate, because you're conveniently ignoring 2016. If Trump were never initially president, would he have ever become one?

Maybe, maybe not. But 2024 surely would have looked very different.

It is disheartening to leave thoughtful comments and have them met with "I duno. I just had [AI] do it."

This is not just disheartening - this should be flat out refused. I'm sensitive to issues of firing people but honestly this is just someone not pulling their weight for their job.

Why is it a non-starter for you?

4 years. https://github.com/neovim/neovim/commit/a5ac2f45ff84a688a094...

I'm trying to be careful to distinguish that this particular part seems odd to me, specifically because of Julia's other posts in which it seems their skill/knowledge is not much of a question.

If someone is new to vim, I 100% agree that it's easier to get started with VSCode/Jetbrains/etc.

But if someone has been using vim for a long time as their default editor, especially Neovim, and when LSP support came to Neovim about 4 years ago [0], it comes across as someone who isn't a power user if they didn't end up installing it. Which is fine, but the community has also started to build reasonable "batteries-included" distributions of Neovim (LunarVim is a great example) if someone didn't want to figure it out themselves but still wanted to use it.

It's one thing if someone just doesn't love the experience Neovim brings to them. That's reasonable, because it's subjective. But it is odd to use a tool for so long and not further investigate what it offers to fit your needs. Before LSP, there were libraries (CoC for example). And if it was never satisfactory, why not look at alternative editors which had their own flavors of indexing/code navigation?

I think with Cursor choosing it as well, this will only continue to prevail. Professionally I've had to standardize on VSCode due to Cursor (there are a few plugins for Neovim but the experience is undoubtedly better in the first-class tool).

By the way - I actually generally think this is a good thing that companies standardize on something. I might not like the choice they standardize on, but the barrier to entry for new engineers is already high, so having an easy-to-use and familiar development setup that "just works" from the start is pretty reasonable for large companies.
