Does that not extend beyond tech founders? I hear that SF has one of the highest rates of homelessness...

Would be fairer if the frog occasionally got to throw a punch or two...

Hmm this is cool but what are the practical use cases?

It didn’t load first time round on my browser (Brave) without disabling its prevent tracking feature…

Claude Opus 4.8 one-shotted it... I think we should gear these systems towards making the cost of abuse expensive as they will be able to get around these things more and more easily.

Siri AI is a mouthful… they should have kept it simple and stuck with Siri

Just tried it and it doesn't work... won't let me create a new task as the repo selection is disabled... works fine on my laptop on the other hand and have been using it for some time.

PelicanBench, the last benchmark for AGI.

In my case, I was curious about my ancestry and Nepal doesn't currently have an equivalent of an ancestry.com therefore the best source of the information is my family themselves while they're still alive.

I was surprised myself how engaged my family have been with the bot. And equipped with the knowledge of our family history, it is able to ask deeply informed follow up questions! I would recommend trying it!

I called my parents, told them about the idea, they never even had Telegram before we started this project but they especially joined when they learnt that I was trying to build a family history. They are native Nepalese speakers therefore the system promptensured that the bot always responds to their questions and answers in Nepalese.

Why does it have to be black and white? Why can't a bot do the exploration and notetaking along with people in the channel?

Btw my family know they are talking to the bot and they know that the bot is taking notes for our benefit. And I am in the channel and I enjoy reading those stories myself and would have never thought to ask those questions myself. Sometimes I ask the follow up questions myself too...

I’ve also found it useful for personal stuff. For example I have my OpenClaw bot in a family group on Telegram and everyday it asks my family members stories from their lives that it meticulously documents and uses as a basis for further questions in the future and has so far managed to build a rich family history spanning 50 odd family members (a project I had always been planning to do for never found the time to).

Isn't the whole idea of "home brew" to enable hackers and enthusiasts to easily share what they built?

My first thought was: yet another memory architecture for Claude. But the concept is quite cool. I’m not sure I’ll use it for Claude for I told my OpenClaw instance to copy the idea and setup a cronjob.

Vapes are possibly the worst things invented since cigarettes.

only 80 more repos need 100000 stars and all lines would be equal! e.g.

1 : 14946505

10 : 1196622

100 : 213026

1000 : 28944

10000 : 1847

100000 : 100

looks abandoned. last commit was 2 years ago.

Hasn’t someone rewritten ripgrep in rust by now? C’mon it’s 2026. Oh wait it was written in Rust (back in 2016).

This comment should make it into the download in a few mins.

I imagine this would be quite a good fit for people who don't want to manage their own OpenClaw instance on their home network which is near zero cost especially if you use it with Gemini free tier + a low power arm board.

There's another trending HN thread talking about a similar product but cloud based going by the name of Klaus: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47337249

You are likely living in a bubble if you actually think this. Less than 2 billion people in the world have used AI chatbots, let alone frontier AI models of any kind. I much prefer the bicycle analogy for AI, its just a force multiplier.

fair, lets leave space. even here on earth, 10x productivity gain from AI isn't enough. we're underresourced on problems we've had for centuries, e.g. poverty, disease, work/life balance and more recently climate, etc.

Beyond Earth :D

Real life Battlestar Galactica would be pretty sweet.

If your plan for humanity is to maintain the current number of jobs on one planet, sure, AI is a threat. But if you think we should be building civilisations beyond Earth, terraforming, mining the outer solar system, understanding the universe — then a 10x productivity gain per person isn't a disruption. It's barely enough to get started. We need 100x. 1000x. And we'll still be short-handed.

The chain of operation never ends either. Every AI system needs someone to run it. Whatever runs it needs to be built and maintained. Follow that chain as far as you like — human agency doesn't disappear, it scales up. The universe is not running out of things that need doing.

"AI will take our jobs" is not a civilisational concern. It's a failure to imagine what civilisation could actually be.

I realise apple containers haven't quite taken off yet as expected but omission from the article stands out. Nice that it mentions alternative approaches like podman and kata though.

Bit of a strange choice of name if I may say so!

Why doesn't this excite me anymore?
