I prefer OpenClaw because it's more persistent. I know, I know, theoretically you could do the same thing with Claude Code and markdown files (which, to be fair, is pretty much how OpenClaw works), I guess it's mostly the telegram interface I like. Most of the time I don't have my laptop with me, and ssh using Termux, and opening a remote claude code is a much greater hassle than sending a telegram message, and with telegram (or whatsapp or discord or whatever) you get the benefit of being able to send voice messages, which I find very useful. In what way is Clawdbot "insane"? Obviously if you give it write access to your email and twitter and whatnot, that's not great, but for me I really just give it access to that probably wouldn't ruin my life / career if they got out (e.g. my class notes and Anki decks).
Personally, I use it to manage all of the stuff I don't want to. I give it my course content and it makes flashcards for me to review. I give it my tasks and it schedules them throughout the day. All of the menial stuff that is necessary but not productive. It also has a much better memory than I do on account of it's constant access to a filesystem and grep. It's like my personal assistant and tutor and guidance counsellor and sysadmin, all in one. I do think that a) you need to stick with it for a few days and b) use a good model. When I first started using it, it was just a worse version of ChatGPT, but after bringing in all of my data from ChatGPT it's a lot easier for it to search for stuff when it's confused. Now it can also do stuff like manage nginx or my sync serviceand whatnot, ~autonomously. Originally I was using locally running qwen models, but they were so timid as to be useless. Right now I'm using Kimi 2.5 as my model.
Something with KDE. Never used KDE extensively because I hate non-tiling WMs, but something like Kubuntu would give you a more windows-esque experience by default. Here's the download link:
I'm doing some research, and this is something I'm unsure of. I see that "suppressing null results" is a bad thing, and I sort of agree, but for me personally, a lot of the null results are just the result of my own incompetence and don't contain any novel insights.
I mean, to steelman their point, there's a lot more misinformation than information on Google. I still personally think that it's a worthwhile trade though
Google is one the most important institution of the Internet era. Talk all you'd like about "OoOoH tHeY aDvErTiSe" or "tHeiR aLgOrItHm Is GeTtInG wOrSe" but at the end of the day, Google still brought knowledge to more people than anything before (apart from maybe Gutenberg).
