openclaw = claude code + memory + cron job

persistent memory plus cron job lets you do stuff that you can't do with just codex/claude code/opencode

They've been at this for a while. They do have offerings you subscribe for and pay monthly. They have also consistently offered an option for each of those offerings to bring your own or self host. They've earned my trust.

That's not true. Boss likes being flashy. You won't see them being used for actual work, but that's a different proposition.

Why is their reputation relevant? They're dead.

Reputation guides your behavior toward that person. But they're no longer around. There is no behavior toward them. They're gone. Their reputation is no longer relevant.

How so?

Yeah, that's not how things work. Senate can't pass anything unless the House agrees and the House is representative of the population. Also, footnote, we've been structuring governments this way for thousands of years. Rome, etc.

Industry includes FOSS and artistic endeavors, anything that’s done professionally.

My intent was to exclude research efforts, which is fundamentally different from engineering, which is a practical concern and not a “get it to just work” concern.

Engineering only exists within industry. Everything else is a hobby.

There is no market for such a thing. At that price point, you get a personal chauffeur. That’s what rich people do and he can do stuff that a self driving system never can.

The point of engineering is to make something that’s economically viable, not to slap together something that works. Making something that works is easy, making something that works and can be sold at scale is hard.

Slate is ugly and not nearly as functional. Predicting who is doomed at this point is silly. But there will be a small electric truck soon, which is nice.

If the US is in the wrong, why should I as a citizen not want our government officials held accountable?

A core principle of American justice is judgement by a jury of your peers from your community according to our laws, not by foreigners on the other side of the planet according to foreign laws. Violations of our core principles through means we were not a party to is a violation of our sovereignty.

You can self host something like https://big-agi.com/ and grab your own keys from various providers. You end up with the above, but without the pitfalls you mentioned.

Who's going to bother to invest in American manufacturing when the tariff "strategy" changes daily?

Isn't that the point? If things are so unstable, you avoid the instability by manufacturing domestically.

Nobody cares about personal use. That's why we have concepts like fair use. It's when you turn around and try to make a business out of it.

You want to generate photos of copyrighted characters? Go for it. But OpenAI is making money off of that and that's the issue.

It seems like they made an effort to stop it, but their product is designed in such a way that doing so effectively is a sisyphean task.

Remember how she wasn't locked up? That set the precedent.

He asked what would you do. That's what I would do. And that's what I did. I'm sorry to hear you can't find work, but that's not a problem everyone shares.

I only have a desktop.

Sell it. It's a paperweight for you right now. You can find a really nice open-box/used laptop for $300-400 that will allow you to work from anywhere. You can charge the laptop at a cafe or a library. $5 for coffee and you have a working space to take calls and work.

I drive Lyft/Uber full-time

Stop driving Lyft/Uber. It's for those who don't have any skills beyond driving a car.

Sit down and determine what are the skills that you currently possess that are the most valuable on the market right now. Then sell those to the highest bidder.

My two cents, that isn't a job.

I know I can earn 3-4x more doing freelance tech, but I can’t do that from a car.

Yes, you can. That's a limiting belief; it's just holding you back. All you need is a laptop. Need to make a meeting? Go to a local cafe. Nobody will even notice. More importantly, if you're doing remote contract work, perfectly acceptable to ask a percentage of the total upfront. That will go a long way to get you out of a car and into an apartment quickly.

What would YOU do in my situation to break the cycle?

1. Stop driving Uber, stop renting motels, stop paying any bills, bring my costs down to near zero.

2. Start taking on as much contract work doing "freelance tech" that I can find, with as much paid upfront as possible.

3. Once I have 10k in the bank, rent an apartment and start cleaning up whatever mess is left.

4. Start making quality of life decisions. Maybe you don't want contract, but want a job? Maybe a nicer laptop? Closer to your kids? Live your life.

#1 is the hardest, because you're risking everything on your ability to deliver. You have to believe in yourself.

So an invoice attached to an email as a PDF is sent digitally ... those unfamiliar with PDF will think text and data extraction is trivial then, but this isn't true. You can have a fully digital, non-image PDF that is vector based and has what looks like text, but doesn't have a single piece of extractable text in it. It's all about how the PDF was generated. Tables can be formatted in a million ways, etc.

Your best bet is to always convert it to an image and OCR it to extract structured data.

Another interesting statistic is that Europe has given Russia more money than it has given Ukraine in 2024. That's a fun one.

I'm sure there are power supplies for servers that go above 1600 watts too. If you really want to, you can ... but you really shouldn't.

We also have 20 amp wiring, 20 amp breakers, 20 amp sockets, and plugs too. A lot easier than going 240 volt. That will give you 2400 watts max.

Ha! Find me where I can buy it for $2000.

Even a monopolist is constrained by supply and demand. If they could sell everything they make as a 4090 without trashing their margins, they would. The fact that 4080, 4070, 4060 lines exist means they can't.

No, there would just be less 4080s for people to buy.

Sure, and more 4090s at a lower price.

It's really slow. Like, unusably slow. For those interested in self-hosting, this is a really good resource: https://github.com/XiongjieDai/GPU-Benchmarks-on-LLM-Inferen...

Barely is not can't. You either can or you can't. If you can't, you get kicked out of your home and they auction it off to pay for the taxes.

It happens. It's disgusting when it does. It IS a problem.

But it's not happening to half the country. That's nonsense. And when you say nonsense, it keeps others from taking the problem seriously.

That means about 50% of the US can not afford a place to live.

So 50% of the US are homeless?

My understanding of the feature, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that you are not granted write access based on a hash. You already have write access. You can use the hash to avoid overwriting someone else's data that was appended to the file in between you checking the file and writing to it. If you already have write access, the hash is irrelevant. As a bad actor, you can corrupt the data without it.

MD5 should not be used for anything security related. Granting write access based on an MD5 hash would be a huge no-no.
