I think this is close to the head of the nail. It kinda unlocks handling novelish asks that previous siri/alexa just couldnt handle. As long as a thing has well documented api spec then it instantly is usable. This makes the clawbot flow extraordinarily more useful.

I think devs are too focused on the technical what did u build with it.

For example. My brother runs a small recruiting agency. Super nontechnical. Out of nowhere he asks me about openclaw. Then with no help, he sets it up and uses it. Still no help, he has all kinds of nonsense hooked up and running blowing through tokens. He is blown away by it and wants to get it for all of his employees. He thinks about it in terms of cost per min running and not in tokens.

This is the sticky gooey value to whatever openclaw is doing.

While i agree the exact line “rust libraries are useful and non-trivial” i have heard from all over the place as if the value of a library is how complex it is. The rust community has an elitist bent to it or a minority is very vocal.

Supply chain attacks are real for all package registries. The js ones had more todo with registry accounts getting hacked than the compromised libraries being bad or useless.

It is interesting that i find composer to be one of my favorites as while it is a bit dumb it is about 100x faster than the fat boys.

Sometimes u need the beef of opus but 80% composer is plenty.

I have been on the fence if I think composer is useful, but the speed argument is one I hadn’t really considered. I use cursor with Opus almost exclusively but the other day I tried using OpenCode locally with a 6-bit quantized version of Qwen 3.5 and holy crap the speed and latency were mind blowing. Even if not quite as sharp as big boi Opus and the gang.

Now you’ve got me thinking I should give composer another go because speed can be pretty darn great for more generic, basic, tasks.

I think this misses the target.

First, the twitter quote is standard toxic clapback nonsense. Gambling makes billions and does not add any value. Even facebook can argue it adds more value than gambling so this one is a dud.

People use claud code because of claud the model and not claud the harness. Cursor or a hacked up agent loop using opus or whatever are about as good. The magic is in the model not the harness here. This isnt to say the hardness is doesnt do anything.

The other bit this misses is that yes the product matters more then the code, and if the product burns battery/ram/etc doing nothing because the ai has crappy code or maybe something leaks or has a security issue, then that impacts the product.

Contrary to what people may think, the most humane way is a fast clean cut. Drawing it out in anyway doesnt help anyone. This does assume communication is clear about employee next steps for HR related tasks.

This is also why in the other direction a fast clean cut works too. I mean if they want two weeks of “work”, i always consider that severance.

The fast clean cut is true in all industries. Drawing it out only makes it more painful. It is similar to breaking up in a relationship.

It sounds as if you're describing how to humanely kill a living being.

There are alternatives to killing things and I don't think fast clean cut is true in all industries. I think people want it to be true because then it hides away the complexity of the emotions we feel. Just cut it off and pretend that the cutting off won't bother us or them after the event.

I think that strategy may appear helpful but just buries most of the feelings, which don't go away, most likely just to fester underneath and erode trust.

Killing is an escalation to what i said.

The reality is the layoff decision has been made. There is no undo. It is better to cut cleanly as it allows people to move on faster than drawing it out.

The best thing for the most people is to help them move on to the next gig quickly.

The people u work with bosses included, are what make or break this. In my experience, people help one another. I have seen ceo’s push resumes of people let go to other execs in their network. This is outside company policy or communication for legal reasons but not everyone is dirt bag.

Oh I didn't mean to say that's what you wanted it to mean, just that I've heard clean cut in two main spaces: taking off bandages and slaughtering animals.

If you mean clean cut as in only cleanly cut the contract, but then maintain the relationship in other ways, I think that could make sense, as it doesn't pretend the decision hasn't already been made. I think I was reacting to clean cut the relationship completely, which I don't even think works well. But yeah, I'd appreciate if the individuals or even the company helped the people out.

It'd be like ending a relationship with someone who was financially dependent on you and just letting them fall of the cliff, compared to saying that you know it doesn't work for you two together, but you'll financially help them transition. I dunno, some people should say clean cut the relationship, drop friendships, never talk, cold turkey, I just don't know how well that works for human well being in the long term.

I think linkedin is built with emberjs not react last i checked…

The problem with performance in wep apps is often not the omg too much render. But is actually processing and memory use. Chromium loves to eat as much ram as possible and the state management world of web apps loves immutability. What happens when you create new state anytime something changes and v8 then needs to recompile an optimized structure for that state coupled with thrashing the gc? You already know.

I hate the immutable trend in wep apps. I get it but the performance is dogshite. Most web apps i have worked on spend about 10% of their cpu time…garbage collecting and the rest doing complicated deep state comparisons every time you hover on a button.

Rant over.

There are many games for vr that cannot be done without the tech. It isnt all about immersion but facilitating unique experiences.

What held it back from mainstream imo is an inherent space issue (you need room) and a lack of multiplayer participation (need even more room). Compared to sitting on a couch in a small studio with a few friends, it doesnt stand a chance.

The other problem is most peoples first experience is with some shitty mall vr room where the “game” consists of free unity assets slapped together in a way that makes marky marks horizons look polished. Few people start off with something like the half life one.

I wont touch how profoundly i disagree with everything you said on reasoning (u clearly already have it figured out) but a fun test i have done with most of the big models is to give it some text input, maybe a short story, and have it rate it. That is, the prompt is, rate this from 1-10.

For Gemini and gpt, it almost always will give very similar scores for everything. As long as grammar isnt off u cannot get below a 7.

X ai on the other hand will rarely give anything above a 7.

Now when u prompt with, rate 1-10 with 5 being average, all the sudden the scores of openai and gemini drop and x ai remains roughly the same.

All of them will eventually give you a 10 if u keep making tiny edits “fixing” whatever they complain about.

Humans do not do this. Or more specifically, my experience with humans.

Clearly a bunch of other people also disagree profoundly with everything I said, since my comment is currently sitting at 0 having at one point been higher.

I vigorously encourage anyone who thinks something I wrote is bad to downvote it as they see fit, but it would be nice if some of those people would tell me what about my comment they found so objectionable. (It all seems pretty well reasoned to me -- but it would, wouldn't it?)

[EDITED to fix an inconsequential typo]

I never downvote. It isnt worth dwelling on it. People who downvote are usually the types who will not have a constructive discussion with anyways.

To be specific, one is text wall the other is that i disagree with the majority of what u said but sadly dont have the time to outline all of it. At the end of the day my disagreement is only an opinion so worth little.

For the avoidance of doubt, I wasn't meaning to imply that you downvoted me. (Nor do I mind if you did.) I don't think it's true that people who downvote things are never able to have a constructive discussion, but there's probably some correlation there.

Anyway, thanks for giving some indication of what you didn't like.
