I gave up on openclaw but I’m presently installing Hermes.

I liked the idea, had it doing a few novel personal things, but it was so fragile and unknowable and 15% broken at every moment. It was expensive to keep and run, but I will essentially be running Hermes for free, so I’m cautiously optimistic.

I was going to try hermes agent after hearing OpenClaw constantly breaks and this hermes buzz is a better one. I t all sounds a lot of maintenance work.

But they didn’t scream when that debt ballooned very recently.

Debt payments and defense budget increases add up.

I use both claude code and opencode w/ a fireworks.ai firepass subscription.

Everything I set up in claude code I mirror in opencode.

I do more memory oriented things in CC and I end up doing a lot of things in opencode, especially when I want long-running things and I don't want to be limited by budget.

I wanted to ask someone about the firepass subscription. It implies unlimited usage - sounds too good to be true. Is it? Can you leave your agent running all day?

I’m not entirely sure TBH. But I’ve been running huge loads against it and haven’t hit a limit yet. It’s far more stable and generous than Claude. And it’s fast, in a noticeable way. It’s $7/week and I’d rather run out of quota than get a surprise big bill. Still churning.

Interfaces matter.

TUI is arguably a better interface. Faster, more lightweight, operable with keyboard.

The only problem was a barrier of entry which is gone now.

The billionaires ruining the world right now are certainly satisfied with their respective hauls.

And yet it’s not even that simple. Contracts can be invalidated.

Other countries have fairness doctrines with allow/disallow lists of things that can be included in contracts.

There are other ways.

The US has limits on contracts as well, and courts can and will invalidate clauses or entire contracts for a variety of reasons. Read any of your terms and conditions, there is almost always a clause in there saying that if a clause is found to be unenforceable, you agree that the rest of the contract is still valid. The bar is a lot lower in the states, but it’s still there.

E.g. You can sign a contract to work for less than minimum wage, it will be entirely thrown out in court.

Fewer mail carriers could hit twice as many places in a given time-frame and reduce overall gas usage.

They’re notably going for a large issuance.

But a low stock float. I once had a meeting with a guy who said his company was worth $100m. How did he get that valuation? He sold 0.4 % of stock to friends and family at $400k.

Space Force would disagree.

The talk of taking the Moon would belie.

Old is new again! :)
