Aren't there more strict laws on marketing imagery being similar to their actual products in Japan? Wonder if that plays into it, or if the photography team was just having fun.

I tried it for a few days and then dropped it. The prompting/memory/context system for OpenClaw chewed tokens and performed subpar for my usecase. I was mostly interested in having AI writing little toy projects. I used pi over ssh instead, and eventually built myself a little mobile-first web UI wrapping pi.

App needs a bit of review, rather buggy, reloads and presents layouts while I’m typing, if I type in something thats not dimensions the error presents and then rotates through seemingly many different responses to other’s prompts? Vibe coding is a tonne of fun but its worth putting it through the wringer before making public :)

Folks are reviewing the code, but the standard shape of a review is a PR. This diff assumes you have an underlying knowledge of the system, one that is most realistically gained by having written the code. Could you “just remember” every diff you’ve seen? Maybe, but I don’t think it’s realistic; we learn far better from doing than from reading.

> There needs to be a business model based on selling the hardware and software, not the data the hardware collects. An architecture where the company that makes the device literally cannot access the data it processes, because there is no connection to access it through.

Genuine Q: Is this business model still feasible? Its hard to imagine anyone other than apple sustaining a business off of hardware; they have the power to spit out full hardware refreshes every year. How do you keep a team of devs alive on the seemingly one-and-done cash influx of first-time-buyers?

I’ve heard something similar: “there are people who enjoy the process, and people who enjoy the outcome”. I think this saying comes moreso from artistic circles.

I’ve always considered myself a “process” person, I would even get hung-up on certain projects because I enjoyed crafting them so much.

LLM’s have taken a bit of that “process” enjoyment from me, but I think have also forced some more “outcome” thinking into my head, which I’m taking as a positive.

Speaking for myself, speed. I’d be noticeably slower than my peers if I was crafting code by hand all day.

Knowing my taxes go towards these things is the reason I stay.

I grew up leveraging many of the same programs, this post helped illuminate how lucky I was to have them. Thank you!

Super cool stuff! Excited to see what p2p between clients might look like, and how it compares on speed with Wireguard.

Interesting, The Mountain in The Sea is becoming a reality.

I preordered it and read it with the expectation of getting great sci-fi about kraken and got something else entirely. The focus is on many things, but not on sci-fi and kraken, so it is one of the weaker books in this area, sadly. I finished it, but it was a slog.
