You can say “shit” on the internet.

Only if you let them scan your face first, comrade.

18B market cap does not mean it’s not a joke to a bunch of people.

His point seems to be that being a joke does not disqualify it from having value.

Or being a scam.

Yes. Not for profit does not mean they don’t have money.

With that logic why should non profits have to pay for anything at all?

For the same logic they are tax-exempt. There is a general consensus that their goal is the greater good (like developing sudo and such) and not the usual capitalistic good of generating more money.

Then again, you usual Friday outing of FANG engineers may have more money than some nonprofits too.

I don’t get it, and that doesn’t mean it’s not a bad thing necessarily. I’ve been doing systems things for a long time and I’m quite good at it but this is the first time none of this excites me.

Instead of sitting in my office for 12 hours working with 20 open terminals (exactly what I have open right now on my machine). I can take my kids to Disneyland (I live in Southern California and it's nearby) and work on my iphone talking to "Patch" while we stand in line for an hour to get on a ride. Meanwhile. my openclaw agent "Patch" manages my 20 open terminals on my development workstation in my office. Patch updates me and I can make decisions, away from my desk. That should excite anyone. It gives me back more of my time on earth, while getting about the same (or more) work done. There is literally nothing more valuable to me than being able to spend more time away from my desk.

If this is actually true, then what will soon happen is you will be expected to manage more separate “Patch” instances until you are once again chained to your desk.

Maybe the next bottleneck will be the time needed to understand what features actually bring value?

What if he works for himself?

Not a $DayJob?

Then he is in competition with everyone else who are at their desk managing ### of open terminals

I appreciate your insight, even if the workflow seems alien to me. I admit I like the idea of freeing myself from a desk though. If you don't mind me asking, how much does this all cost per month?

Edit: I see you've answered this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46839725 Thanks for being open about it.

Thanks. I just mentioned elsewhere, right now I spend $200 on claude code 20x plan + $200 on openAI's similar plan, per month. I probably have a few more small conveniences that cost ~$10-$20 a few places, like an obsidian vault synch for documentation vaults on both my dev workstation and my phone, comes to mind. Most weeks I could cut one of the $200 plans, but both claude code and codex have different strengths, and I like to have them double check each others work, so to me that's worth carrying both subscriptions.

i have been recently quite enamoured with using both the ChatGPT mobile app (specifically the Codex part) and the Github mobile app, along with Codex. with an appropriate workflow, i've been able to deploy features to some [simple] customer-facing apps while on the go. it's very liberating!

GP's setup sounds like the logical extension to what i'm doing. not just code, but sessions within servers? are sysadmins letting openclawd out and about on their boxes these days?

Yes I've also used that codex workflow and its pretty useful, but the "real time" interactivity and control is just not at the same level.

Please show us something you’ve produced this way.

The appletv is such a good device that I’m paying it whatever the price may be.

TVs have horrible UIs and are generally ad ridden garbage. Not using anything android based because of the same reason and slow.

Google TV UI is fine, only one I accept other than Apple TV

Not a doctor, but I suppose she should’ve eventually told them in the interest of science. Also, pregnancy has a heavy toll so who knows? Maybe it was a good thing she didn’t. We don’t know.

> Not a doctor, but I suppose she should’ve eventually told them in the interest of science.

Glad she had a largely fulfilling life, but also thinking this. As much as it was her choice what to do with her body, it’s probably a good idea to at least tell the healthcare professionals about things like that, even if after the fact.

> it’s probably a good idea to at least tell the healthcare professionals

No, the pipeline to handle this feedback is completely missing from modern medical practices.

There is not really any way for a doctor to make use of this information to advance medical research.

> In latex i actually wrote in markdown and compiled to latex.

Sure, but if you want to just _write_ then latex is just fine. I don’t understand why you had to write in markdown?

Because standard constructions like emphasize, code blocks, headers, lists etc. Are incredibly difficult to both read and write hampering the writing flow a lot.

Both markdown and typst solves this.

Why not both?

I didn't write an exclusive or...

Or you could’ve used xpath and bs4 and have been done in an hour or two and have more understandable code.

it is not that easy, there is lazy loading in the page that is triggered by scroll of specific sections. You need to find clever way, no way to scrape with bs4, so tough with even selenium.

That’s a shit article by Thomas, people should stop quoting it.
