The 257 spike is 2021
Two tired mice in a pail of milk, They swam around as best they could. But hope began to fade - what should they do? One wanted to drown itself, But its friend said, "No, no, no, For hope only triumphs, maybe, As long as we keep searching for it. Keep searching for it.

No, but their bosses might be.


I work fine here, but only without VPN activated. With VPN on is does not work and I get the same warninf as you.


What I like about, I think, is the private assistance feature, but I can achieve that with other solutions, I wouldn’t need OpenClaw for that. But I don’t think I will go that way anytime soon. I think it will stress me too much.
I am using AI for development daily. I describe an issue or feature to an agent via a skill and it returns a set of tasks in a structured and validated json format, then I run that json file through a python project I have created, looping through each task one at a time, and then I have my python code to structure how my agent is working. Each step is deterministic with short bursts of AI delulu, that again is validated against deterministic steps in pure python. It works quite good and each feature/task is approached in the exact same way where only the in between AI delulu deviates from previous runs, but it makes it much nicer, when you have something you trust in between what the AI is doing.


Aren’t people horrified to give a hallucinatory program full access to your computer?
No, but should they? Yes.
It’s a privacy nightmare and the risk of something going wrong is quite high.
But, it is also a very interesting piece of software. I haven’t tried it out yet, and I am not sure I will, but I do get why people use it.


It is definitely difficult to draw a line in the sand between what is hand made or not.
I would say that 3D printed items is still “hand made” if the design was made by the creator.


At first I thought that of course it’s still hand made (I still do) when using a CNC machine (never heard of CNC machines before, so had to read an article about it), and I thought that it’s a completely different case than what I described, but is it?
What I described was inspired by a Danish entrepreneur who got famous for making these small hand made ceramic flagpoles, each hand made and each varied a lot… But she got some exposure in a Danish version of Dragons Den, and suddenly you could buy these ceramic flagpoles in every city. She no longer made the flagpoles herself, but she kept designing new products and taught her employees to make them like she did. They were at that point still hand made, but I think the definition gets a bit blurred, because when do something become mass produced?


Let’s say that I start making hand made spoons in clay, and they become so popular that I no longer can keep up with the demand. I hire 10 other clay makers and they learn to make these spoons like I do.
That allows me to focus on increasing my catalogue of hand made clay objects and I now I have 10 different items I can sell and the demand explodes, so now I have 50 people sitting making hand made clay forms, and then a machine is mass producing spoons and other items, but each item have 50 unique variants, initially designed by me, and then later 50 employees created a form for a machine to produce.
Is it hand made or machine made? Technically it’s machine made, but you’ll most likely not meet another with an identical one.
My apologies for this comment, I am extremely bored and in physical pain, so this happened… And it probably doesn’t make any sense to anyone but me.

Why even give an agent unrestricted access to anything critical in the first place? What do they think they achieve that they cannot achieve otherwise?


We got used to our upstairs neighbour’s loud snoring, so it was really weirs when she went on vacation, we couldn’t fall asleep. So many times we heard her wake up after we had sex…


I worked for a call center 10+ years ago, and if I searched for customers, which I had not talked to, in our internal CRM system, it would be flagged in an internal system, which potentially could end with employees being fired. I was an inbound customer service rep, and the only thing i thing i could get access to was their name, address and their phone bills… So, yeah, it just surprises me that the policies around accessing “private” data is so Laissez-faire.


i don’t know why it surprises me… I know that the data is not encrypted, and that it is stored on their servers, but still, I thought the users had at least some minimum of privacy, at least from individuals working at Meta.


Something in this article strikes me, and that is the “download” part. Downloading this data was protected by internal security checks… But what about accessing the data without downloading it? Is that fine?? How much do these employees actually have access to? Most users probably haven’t enabled the message encryption.


But again, that would probably fuck up the business case for Wegovy and other Novo Nordics products and subsequently Denmark’s economy. Might be a bad idea. We shouldn’t forget about the billionaires and their wealth.


We would bring scary things like free wealthfare with us. And all americans were to accept it. Nonnegotiable. Almost a dictatorship like move.


I wonder if your brain then starts to align how you hear your own voice and how you hear it when it’s recorded. If it starts to sound more the same for you.
Would also be really weird if you for a long period only heard recordings of you speaking, and when you start speak again, you get equally, or probably more, freaked out by your own voice, as when your hear it records.


I have nothing to compare to, but I recently bought a Dell OptiPlex 9020 for $15/£13. It works wonders. I run a handful docker containers and a VM and haven’t experienced any issue since I bought it. It’s my first time experimenting with a home lab setup.
This one is even better
