> A Phone enabled entirely new behaviors that were not possible from my laptop or camera at the time. Persistent connectivity, real-time location services and on device image capture, edit and sharing just to name an incredibly small few.

All of these things were doable without a smartphone - just very inconvenient to do so.

And all of these things are potentially dangerous ;-)

> Perhaps i'd be more open to it if it not literally everything I could think of using it for did not lead to atrocious security implmentations.

I was like you - seemed too scary (and expensive) to use. But given its traction, I figured I may end up at a disadvantage if I didn't at least learn it. So when I had some time, I simply looked at it, felt installing a VM is (relatively) low risk, and tried it out.

It's a very open ended tool. Ideas will come as you explore its capability. When LLMs came out, people (including me) said "Neat gimmick, but is it actually useful?" and stopped using it a month or two in. It was about 6 more months before I found a real use case for LLMs, and slowly I found more and more use cases.

And so it is with OpenClaw. For me, just being able to query it for the exact weather information I need is great - if you live in an area where knowing this stuff is important.

I have yet to find a tool that is good in converting receipts into the form I need. I spend time each month doing it manually. LLMs may get me there, and if it does, I'll likely hook it into OpenClaw.

I’m pretty sure they determine the price upfront and then figure out what bells and whistles they can ship without eating into their margins. Their goal is to hit a certain average selling price across their massive user base when they upgrade their old phones. They are not going to jeopardize that by releasing an attractive cheap iPhone.

For the people who really don’t want to spend a lot, obviously the easiest option is to just buy an older iPhone or keep your phone for longer. My partner doesn’t care about having the latest tech. So first I use a phone for 3 years and then they use it for another 3 years. We essentially get 6 years of life out of it (Apple is good about releasing software updates for 6 years).

I'm a generalist with experience in full stack development, release
engineering, and systems administration.

US and Mexican passport holder, able to travel.

A native English speaker with C1-ish Spanish.

I've thrived when assigned to work on large, legacy projects (I've ended up
leading them more than once) and with direct contact with customers and users.

Lately I've been doing more work on the sysadmin side of things (with customer
contact and it's great).

I enjoy mentoring and documenting (not kidding) and putting out
fires and I unapologetically use cat in shell pipelines, even when it's
"useless." I have a system based loosely off of quicksort to pair my socks,
yet I also spend a good deal of my free time reading and working out.

Lines were and are always weird, all the time. Americans killing 150 girls yesterday in a school, just a footnote in the news, already gone today. Some rando killing 10 people in a university in my country, endless discussion, politicians, punduits all up in arms spewing their opinions for months, discussing it to no end. Only difference? I don't know. I don't know almost anyone in my country, they're all as foreign to me as some girls in Iran. There's no difference to me.

There's very little sense to me in searching for meaning in any of this. It just is, people are that way. There are no lines and boundaries based on anything but just whims.

Great approach! We're building DeltaOps (delta-ops-mvp.vercel.app) - a more practical take on agent governance. Instead of replacing the LLM, we layer human-in-the-loop approvals on top. Label a GitHub issue → agent works → you approve before it merges. It's deterministic governance through human oversight rather than technical constraints. Would love to chat about the different approaches!

How are JVM startup times nowadays? Frankly the need to ship with a JVM (modulo graal admittedly) is a drawback, eg for CLI tools - which the author listed as a requirement. Go's static executable story, combined with it's competitive performance - without C++ or rust contortions - is a strong combo when your focus is on startup time and deployment simplicity. (If, otoh, I cared a lot about GC I'd definitely prefer Java - eg for non-fast algo trading.)

Java is a fine language, tech stack, and ecosystem, but I agree with the author and parent commenter that this is a sweet spot for Go. Their decision to use it makes a lot of sense.

I'd noticed something was going on lately. I sent an email over two months ago to Environment Canada about a station near Brockville (VFK721) repeating its intro statement over and over again without a forecast and never got a reply from them. The station's still broken.

I guess the stations are just stuck right now live transmitting possibly not even a forecast, just an endless station ID announcement.

I'm one of the builders of Cavaro.

The frustration that started this: our engineering team was
juggling Confluence for design docs and Lucidchart, draw.io for diagrams
every single day. The diagrams would drift out of sync with the
actual docs within weeks. New engineers joining the team had no
single place to understand the system. And we were paying
separately for both tools just to do one job — document our
architecture.

We looked for something that handled both properly and built
for engineering teams specifically. Nothing fit.

So we built Cavaro.

It has two services under one platform — Documents and Diagrams
— with a shared workspace, single login, and unified team
management. Your whole engineering team works in one place
instead of bouncing between tools and tabs.

The Diagrams service has built-in cloud components for AWS,
Azure, and GCP, live collaboration, design reviews, and
support for architecture diagrams, flowcharts, UML, and more.
No importing icon packs manually.

The Documents service handles design docs, ADRs, technical
specs, and team knowledge — everything you'd normally put in
Confluence.

The core idea: one subscription, one workspace, one place
where your team's technical knowledge actually lives.

Free to try at cavaro.io — no credit card required.

Happy to answer questions about the product, the problems we
ran into building it, or anything else.

While I understand the nostalgia, as a Canadian I wasn't even aware this was a thing.

We still have CBC radio that broadcast weather reports, and whether reports are still available on the internet.

If I understand correctly, this service was for people who didn't have internet access, which with cell service, StarLink (yeah, Elon Musk, I know but it has been a game charger in remote communities) and similar services is become a very small minority of individuals.

I think we have to not maintain things that are older tech and unused and focus on things that are the future. If we didn't, we'd still have roads maintained for horse and buggies.

It isn't documentation. It is example code, in the best case. That shit belongs in other files, not in the main file. There is also a reason why literate programming never took off in general. Good luck getting anything done when 80% (conservatively) of the stuff you have to scroll through contributes nothing to the actual execution of the program and might actually be giving you false impressions of how things need to be done.

Sad to see things like this close, the US had a some similar stations that have closed over the years. I think these stations are still useful in this day and age.

The costs of these stations were probably like change one find in their sofa. But in the US, there is always enough funds for killing people, little for keeping people alive and safe. The same may be starting to happen in Canada too, they probably need to start increasing they defense spending due to changing winds from the south.

This maps closely to something we've been exploring in our recent paper. The core issue is that flat context windows don't organize information scalably, so as agents work in parallel they lose track of which version of 'reality' applies to which component. We proposed NERDs (Networked Entity Representation Documents), Wikipedia-style docs that consolidate all info about a code entity (its state, relationships, recent changes) into a single navigable document, corss-linked with other other documents, that any agent can read. The idea is that the shared memory is entity-centered rather than chronological. Might be relevant: https://www.techrxiv.org/users/1021468/articles/1381483-thin...

The US did not have to occupy Japan and deal with rebels - the emperor surrendered unconditionally and the US fed the existing pro-democracy movement while rebuilding the country.

If you look at the US' history of interventions, the common thread is that nations with established pro-democracy movements tend to become stable democracies, and nations where democracy lacks popular support tend to turn into flimsy Republics that easily fall apart when American support is removed.

Occupation is so expensive that it's virtually unthinkable for even a medium-size country to be occupied. There are just too many civilians and too few soldiers.

Probably because names kinda obfuscate the ridiculous impracticality of this exercise. This microgpt can produce a random sequence of letters and by chance it might look like a name. If the thing output, let's say "Kianna" you just think "wow, it IS a name" but is it though? (Idk if it's a real name, at least not in Spanish) Isn't a normal word, so the randomness of names helps to hide the fact that this gpt just outputs random shit that looks like names. If you just use words you will get mostly random shit that doesn't resemble any real words. Just my hypothesis. I can see the convenience of using names. The output look like real names but you can achieve the same result with old ai and very basic algorithms.

I still have my childhood/family's Macintosh II, been a lifelong fan of Apple (warranted or not doesn't really matter), Tahoe and the rest of the version 26 updates have left such a bad taste in my mouth that I'm considering swtiching to Linux. Not sure what I'll do for a phone, but I'm actively replacing Apple, apps, workflows etc with stuff that will work on Linux to switch if it doesn't get fixed soon.

> If you want the ability to start your work day earlier and end it earlier, that seems like a worker protection bill that needs to be passed.

I don't think that's very realistic though is it? School times are fixed and that anchors a lot of families to those specific times, and businesses tend to have set hours.

Changing the time to give people more light in the evening frees up a bunch of people to enjoy some sunlight without making it a whole fight to have different hours at work.

This is a really important point and something we think about a lot. You are absolutely right that chicken optimization has come with serious welfare tradeoffs. Breeding purely for growth rate without considering the animal's ability to actually live comfortably is how you end up with birds that cannot walk properly. We do not want to enable that trajectory for fish.

The good news is that the data we are collecting can be used to select for more than just growth. Body shape, fin integrity, spinal curvature, and other morphological traits are all signals of fish health and welfare. Farms that care about sustainability can use this data to breed fish that are robust and healthy, not just fast growing. The tool is neutral but the selection criteria are up to the breeder.

On the environmental side, our focus right now is on land based hatcheries and recirculating aquaculture systems rather than open net pens in the ocean. These closed systems avoid a lot of the dewilding and pollution concerns you mentioned. They are more expensive to operate but they keep farmed fish separate from wild populations and give you much more control over waste and water quality.
And yes, reducing handling stress is a big part of what we are building. The manual process today involves netting, anesthesia, and physical manipulation. Our system can measure fish without any of that. Less stress on the animal and better data for the farmer.

I am in my 30s, my wife and I enjoy colloecting the cards still. We go to conventions and try to track down rare cards and trade for them. It is a fun side hobby that we do from time to time to get out of the house and meet new people. I have long since lost my love for the games, and I dont particularly care about the rarest cards. I just like tracking down cards that look cool to me and meeting people along the way.

Ironically, a lot of the folks I've known sitting in trees might hold that the NGOs soak up resources and actions and basically prevent material and direct action.

The hyper-local point of that is how my buddies haven't taken grinders to the flock cameras because there is a local de-flocked group who is trying to exhaust legal actions before moving on to other options. But it's not like that kind of direct action is thought of as unethical by a lot of us, even if it's legibly illegal.

And regardless of what a person thinks about the direct action, the (very separate) idea that these larger, legal, above-ground groups are what keep folks who have very strong "feelings" from acting is a position held by folks on all sides of these things. That strategy seems central to the neo-liberal method of dealing with social unrest.

In that ecosystem, if you kill off the big NGOs you might see a thousand tiny and headless ELFs bloom.

If the post-neo-liberal (god what a shitty turn of phrase, sorry) strategy looks like "ICE", then good luck to them; the 3000:100000 ratio didn't go well in Minneapolis and as more folks start looking at how we didn't have a winter at all where I live (it's 65 degrees this week at almost 7000' in SW Colorado and the ground frost has broken) then that strategy might be subjected to reality.

Yes, I basically do everything the lazy/thoughtless way for a first pass. I find in 99% of cases that's already performant enough and matches the intended data flow, but if you ever want to optimize it, you can. The same is also true with the types: you can bash out a prototype very quickly and then tighten them up later, using Clippy to easily find all the shortcuts you took.

Here's a map I put together of the Weatheradio (one "r"!) service coverage in Canada, assuming each station has a range of 60 km: https://www.keacher.com/files/dir12/weatheradio_map2.png Perhaps unsurprisingly, the coverage is most dense where the population density is also highest, with some exceptions.

Personal theory is, you can get into a state where you'd still growing due to network effects, as you're the main location for some topics, but new communities go somewhere else, so you're losing that traffic.

Some of Discord's largest servers are for AI tools, as it seemed like the logical choice when they were getting going. A couple years earlier I'm sure it would have been reddit.
by rohxnsxngh | 2026-03-02 23:42:19+00:00
The broader point we were trying to make is that as population grows and arable land decreases, the protein mix will need to shift. Fish have a feed conversion ratio of around 1.0 to 1.5 compared to 6 to 10 for beef. They do not require land for grazing and aquaculture has significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions than most terrestrial livestock. That does not mean aquaculture is the only path forward but it is likely a bigger part of the equation than it is today, especially in regions where seafood is already a primary protein source.
We are not arguing against plant based diets or other solutions. Just that aquaculture is underinvested relative to its potential and the infrastructure to scale it efficiently does not exist yet. That is the gap we are trying to fill.

I'm not bringing Starlink on a week-long kayak voyage. My cousin isn't bringing it on his hiking and hunting trip in the bush. There's no cell service out there - radio is all you get, at best. This might not be tremendously well used, but there was and continues to be utility for radio broadcasting that one can receive on a cheap low-powered device for free with no subscription in the middle of nowhere. None of your suggestions touch that.

> which doesn't get you all that much

After college I moved from the far western edge of one timezone to the far eastern edge of another zone. I grew up with 5-5:30pm sunsets in winter, and now I live with 4-4:30pm sunsets. I moved here 25 years ago, and every single year when November/December come around and I get those early sunsets I hate it. It's one of the reasons I'd like to move away from here.

I know it's just one person's opinion, but to me those extremely early sunsets in the middle of winter are a huge quality of life reduction.

I believe part of the problem is that if you're in the middle or western edge of your zone, the winter sunsets aren't so bad. I suspect a lot of people who would prefer DST year round live on the eastern edge.
