This is the market telling you what matters.

OpenClaw has been an outstanding success, it is providing people the ability to leak their keys, secrets, and personal data, and allowing people to be subject to an incredible number of supply chain attacks when its users have felt their attack surface was just too low.

Your efforts have been on increasing security and reducing supply chain attacks, when the market is strongly signaling to you that people want reduced security and more supply chain attacks!


What do you mean? He has a rabid fan base who loves him because he writes like he talks!

It clearly works for him - I hate how he talks, but he seems to be an effective communicator if you only judge by results. Sadly.


"write like you talk" is advice for type-1 thinkers.

presumably also advice from them.


Maybe more an effective rhetorician than communicator. I suppose his communication does match the clarity of thought though... it's just that the thoughts are so jumbled he says 3 things that contradict each other in the same breath.

> more an effective rhetorician than communicator.

What’s the difference?


the point of rhetoric is persuasion or flattery, the point of communication (or argument as its usually framed going all the way back to Plato) is to accurately convey an idea or concept. In your average Trump speech the point is usually to evoke an emotion in his audience, not so much arguing anything in particular.

> I hate how he talks, but he seems to be an effective communicator if you only judge by results

Looking at Iran situation, absolutely not, results of Trumps communications are pure disaster. Looking at tariffs situation, absolutely not, results of Trumps communications are pure disaster. His communication is masterpiece of ineffective communication.

On the plus side, he is emotionally pleasing to certain kind of people and he is effective in bullying and humiliating close ones. If those are the goal, yes he is effective. But, he cant do much else.


That's how you get flagged as an AI!

I've been nearly hit by a bicycle-messenger looking dude in San Francisco when I was crossing the street with a "walk" sign at a crosswalk and he blew through the red light at probably about 15mph, and I have plenty of other experiences like that.

If you are running a red light at 15mph on a bicycle, dodging pedestrians, you are just an asshole - maybe you're slightly less dangerous than an SUV running a red light, but it is still completely not okay.

There are dumb teenagers, which is one thing, but the aggressive "well, we're not emitting carbon, so we can do whatever we want crowd" is probably even more crappy and dangerous, since they're deliberate about it, and more present in areas with lots of pedestrians.


Is there an interpretation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act where using this bicycle bell to circumvent the computer system used in your headphones for active noise cancellation would be a federal felony in the United States?

probably. i am pretty sure you can spin up a CFAA violation with some string and 2 cups.

Be careful with that because then bikers are just going to start using car horns.

hey, if they can prosecute for whistling into a handset...

How can you practically verify that OneDrive won't do this either?

I will never use one drive even if they paid me. I use Dropbox + Homelab NAS with RAID 5 + old desktop PC with a RAID 5 drive. I have a lot of RAW photos to keep.

When people judge blindly, the are more likely to think the human is the AI and the AI is the human.

73% judged GPT 4.5 (edit: had incorrectly said 4o before)to be the human.

Not only are people bad at judging this, but are directionally wrong.


There is research showing the contrary that is far more convincing:

> Our experiments show that annotators who frequently use LLMs for writing tasks excel at detecting AI-generated text, even without any specialized training or feedback. In fact, the majority vote among five such “expert” annotators misclassifies only 1 of 300 articles, significantly outperforming most commercial and open-source detectors we evaluated even in the presence of evasion tactics like paraphrasing and humanization.

Great find, I've submitted this preprint as a standalone item: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47678270


he would, but he very much designed the standard around the idea that if you wanted to implement a floating point algorithm you would hire him.

> You don't wanna YOLO understanding how employment rates are calculated.

You're way better off YOLO'ing reading the documentation about how they are calculated than listening to the myriad pundits deliberately trying to mislead people and drive conspiracy theories.

This is all documented on the websites of the various statistical agencies, and you can just read their docs.


Yes, I agree. The person I'm replying to knows only enough about employment rates to have bad conspiracy takes.

While Switzerland has higher median HHI than the US as a whole, the Bay Area in California does have comparable median household income.

In the Bay Area, Sonic does offer 10Gbps fiber internet in some places on new buildouts.

I struggled to find a use case for it, except as a WAN between a homelab and a remote datacenter where I could do crazy things like run an NFS server over the internet or stream training data to a GPU, etc.


> crazy things like run an NFS server over the internet

Is that so crazy? If 10G was the default, you could just plop a cheap NAS at home and nobody would need to pay monthly subscriptions for cloud services.


How is 1G insufficient for running a NAS over the internet?

1Gbps is even slower than a SATA SSD that can saturate a 6Gbps SATA link.

10Gbps gets you speeds only a few times slower than a PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD. Except you can run that over the Internet!


I'm aware of how fast an SSD is, but you're probably only accessing your home NAS from your phone or laptop which most likely won't have more than 1gbps, if that. If you're a power user you probably already have high speed networking inside your own home to max out a 10G link.

If I only have 1Gbps, I'm not going to be using a NAS for something like /home, or other things that need to be performant.

For cloud services, I only need to match the bandwidth my cellphone has for my home NAS, so 1Gbps would be fine.

10Gbps is like.... my /home on my desktop could be served via NFS from somewhere else and it would probably be barely noticeable. That's just another level of crazy.


If only we didn't need redundancy...
