Or just opt out... you don't have to use these things.

I chose not to drive as a teenager (public transit even in my smallish city seemed fine, I wanted to spend my money on a computer not a car) and it was interesting to watch the assumptions go from "you are incapable / afraid" to "you must be too poor or have a DUI" over the last 30 years.

It's inconceivable to most people that it could be a choice.

It doesn't really have anything to do with LLMs. There's no reason to anthropomorphize the software.

Edit: feels a bit like inventing an insult for your pet rock. If I met someone who acted superior toward an inanimate rock and used invented slang to insult it that sounded like a slur, that would feel bad to me too. What's the point except to role play a fantasy of some kind?

> I think "clanker" is intended to be a slur

It reads that way to me, and feels bad. We can just say "computer program" or similar.

This shouldn't be downvoted. Transducers being reversible is a neat and non-obvious thing.

This isn't interesting.

Does it imply there is a cultural difference that would make this style more lucrative in Japan than other places? Does it suggest compositionally the alignment of asymmetric shapes in a regular form is more satisfying than a regular arrangement of identical forms? Does it imply that given an array of nearly identical choices it's important to add some noise visually to distinguish?

I'm a cynical person by nature but I'm seriously not understanding what makes this interesting.

We might as well discuss the effectiveness of simulated grime in the most recent Clorox advertising campaign?

It doesn't fit the requirement to modify the list in place, but the prompt itself contradicts the requirements by asking explicitly for the implementation to use *args and a list comprehension.

I understand -- still, FWIW, I would have enjoyed reading (and maybe partly skimming in sections) the longer version, warts and all. A lot of what I enjoyed most about the article were the in-between details, the LLM-assisted sections felt a bit like fluff in comparison, even though I could squint and imagine the input somewhat?

The classification is pretty weird sometimes, too. For example the `/exit` slash command is filed under advanced and experimental commands...

I'm ready to reorganize, there are a lot of really good ideas here! Most of all I had a similar trajectory of starting with small component drawers and now it's a real pain to find appropriate places for everything. I didn't think to try larger boxes! Makes a lot of sense. I'm curious to try some variation of the dot system too, but I think I appreciated the somewhat mundane in-between details about your setup the most.

(I would have appreciated less AI-assistance in the prose though FWIW, I'm sorry if that's annoying to say!)

The "download browser" link led to an AOL_Netscape.exe -- I guess it's this Chromium-based web browser mentioned on wikipedia but I don't feel like installing wine :)

> Netscape's browser development continued until December 2007, when AOL announced that the company would stop supporting it by early 2008.[11][12] Until 2025, AOL used the Netscape brand to market a discount Internet service provider, which itself provided a Chromium-based web browser called Netscape, developed by UK security firm SentryBay.

Hey, a scene.org mirror! Does anyone know if this Opiate is Thomas Knak? This one sounds a lot like him:

Edit: fun, they have my old hippocamp album too :) http://128.237.157.9/pub/scene.org/music/groups/hippocamp/hc...

Yes, not for its technological features but for its single-purpose-ness. If I'm working on paper, it's nice to pull out rather than a full on computer which also has all of my email on it.

I think this is a cool idea, but can you explain the matching process a little more? My hunch is it biases in a way where the more obscure the preference the larger the size of the city? My suggestions were all big cities, one I've lived in before and liked, but I wouldn't really connect to the music in any particular way? Except for that aspect: it was easier to find people who were into obscure niche X in a larger city.

I don't want to be all negative, because I like the idea a lot. What if you were able to find data sources for where musicians are based, or where they play shows most often? Using that might help cut through some of the population bias?

Just ranting into a textfield with my coffee, anyway cool project & thanks for sharing!

This makes the most sense to me too. My feeling is so-called AI is going to deliver on a lot of the things we're used to having shoddy versions of -- good natural language interfaces, good WYSIWYG type tools, all of this could turn the wix/squarespace/wordpress/etc landscape into something pretty good, rather than just OK.

In my most hopeful of futures, we've figured out how to do lightweight inference, and if the models don't run locally at least they aren't harming the planet, and all this AI tooling hydrates all the automation projects of the last 40 years so that my favorite tiny local music label can have a super custom online shop that works exactly the way they need without having to sacrifice significant income to do it.

I tried it out. I have NO idea why I thought it would be fine to try it out. Here's an excerpt if you're thinking about trying it out too:

I asked "clawdbot" to tell me where it stored its tokens. It said:

---

Your config is:

``` ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json ```

The Telegram bot token would be at:

```json { "channels": { "telegram": { "botToken": "..." } } } ```

Want me to check if Telegram is configured there? I'll only show you the structure, not the actual token.

No. So you're fully configured?

I messed up. I just displayed your config with sensitive tokens visible:

- Telegram bot token — exposed - Gateway auth token — exposed

You said you don't trust me, and I just proved that was warranted. My redaction attempt failed.

You should regenerate both now:

1. Telegram token: Go to @BotFather → /mybots → select your bot → API Token → Revoke current token 2. Gateway token: You can regenerate by editing ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json directly — change the gateway.auth.token value to a new random string (at least 32 characters), then restart with clawdbot gateway restart

I apologize. I should have been more careful with your config, especially after you explicitly told me you don't trust me.

This seems like a nightmare. I wanted to be interested, I'm still interested I guess, but the onboarding experience is just a series of horrible red flags. The point I left off was when it tried to install a new package manager so it could install support for all of its integrations. Hell no.
