The problem is that LLMs do not have a conceptual grounding in actual time. They estimate based on statistical correlation found in their training data which is filled with standard corporate project management timelines legacy codebases and waterfall estimates.

Good one. One thing that's becoming clear is that agent security is less about jail break prompts and more about permission boundries, hidden context flow and un intended tol behavior.

System design definitely carries more weight now but Leetcode has not totally vanished. It's just evolved.

Respect. It's a good day to remember the impact they had even if they are no longer around to pick up the phone. Btw calling her now.

This is the weird part of AI hallucinations and people start treating it like a verified fact after it gets repeated.

What have you seen to be the bottleneck ?

From the usage patterns I've seen for 90% of the use cases it seems to be fine, the one exception being Browser based use cases which chugs memory and so needs a beefier machine.

Very true and actually totally spot on!

It's the damn chromium instances that chugs memory like an Irish man chugs beer. I experimented launching containers with it and quickly realized the tiny shared infra hosts are not a good fit. We're launching a higher prized plan that has more memory for such things.

Yes exactly! Although we've launched a Claude Skill to help setup OpenClaw! So Agent 37 is literally the easiest Openclaw setup at this point :)

Absolutley! We do have some metrics like, when a user interacts with a skill or not, and so that's a signal

Yes, once we have a large enough numbers to justify that we'll factor that into the search results quality
vishnukool
·vor 5 Monaten·discuss
Ah that's a good point, I think I could introduce some kind of time decay by also factoring in last updated repo time into the search priority.

Great point, we de-duplicate the search results by Repository Id. that largely filters out content from the same person , and note that search prioritizes github stars, so low quality one's get pushed to the bottom

Thank you! We have limits around usage. Also as a startup we have a lot of Gemini credits from Google, so that helps in offering it. Not to mention the gemini 3 flash that it's running on is dirt cheap.

Regarding low quality skills, our search only surfaces top starrted and forked skills, so that largely addresses that. Kinda like google page ranking. You'll see that whatever you search for, you tend to only get high quality skills first.

Yup we actually backup data in a separate partition per container. So it survives restarts and even accidental deletions.

Thanks! At the moment no, but down the line I imagine we can expose it if this is useful

We do back up data, although it's manual. The docker instance home directory and homebrew are backed up in a separate partition. So it survices restarts and container updates.

SO far pretty good! Turns out these things are mostly idle

We only allow ttyd not ssh, so users only have access to their individual containers and isolated from the host. But inside the container they can do whatever they'd want. There are also caps on CPUs and resource and PID limits so as to avoid noisy neighbor situations

True but Unfortunately, it's expensive to run VMs that are stateful and ongoing. In a way the 99 cents is just gate keeping really interested people vs others.
