I work fine here, but only without VPN activated. With VPN on is does not work and I get the same warninf as you.

Oh, haha. The Tolstoy and Crime and Punishment combination tricked my mind. Loved crime and Punishment, probably my favourite book. But yeah, War and Peace was tough for me.

I have yet to return to Crime and Punishment. I read the first 2000 pages or so, in a couple of weeks, so only a 1000 to go.

But now it’s been so long, so I probably have to start all over. Is it worth it? I really enjoyed it, but the book is almost 700 pages long, and so much of it is description of war battles, and these battles were not really interesting for me. Did you enjoy the description of these battles? They take up so much of the book, and I felt the didn’t that much to the story line, but the intention and meaning of these battles have probably just went over my head.

What I like about, I think, is the private assistance feature, but I can achieve that with other solutions, I wouldn’t need OpenClaw for that. But I don’t think I will go that way anytime soon. I think it will stress me too much.

I am using AI for development daily. I describe an issue or feature to an agent via a skill and it returns a set of tasks in a structured and validated json format, then I run that json file through a python project I have created, looping through each task one at a time, and then I have my python code to structure how my agent is working. Each step is deterministic with short bursts of AI delulu, that again is validated against deterministic steps in pure python. It works quite good and each feature/task is approached in the exact same way where only the in between AI delulu deviates from previous runs, but it makes it much nicer, when you have something you trust in between what the AI is doing.

I had a job as a human broom in a power plant. I had to dust off all the handrails at the plant. I can’t really remember, but I think it took a week to get all handrails dusted off, and when I got back to the beginning you could not see any difference. I was hired for 6 months. I could go a whole day without meeting any other employees. I had my own shed outside the plant with my own toilet.

I spent the first 2-4 hours sleeping, then an hour or two cleaning, listening to music, and then spent whatever time I needed on the toilet during a day.

Not the worst job I’ve had, haha. Quite chill.

Aren’t people horrified to give a hallucinatory program full access to your computer?

No, but should they? Yes.

It’s a privacy nightmare and the risk of something going wrong is quite high.

But, it is also a very interesting piece of software. I haven’t tried it out yet, and I am not sure I will, but I do get why people use it.

Most of the first world countries would probably be an improvement at this point.

Why even give an agent unrestricted access to anything critical in the first place? What do they think they achieve that they cannot achieve otherwise?

I once wrote 90 % of a thank you letter to a school teacher who

According to Harvard alumna Nancy Berliner (白铃安), during the construction, one incident involved a raccoon that entered the storage room. The Chinese craftsmen killed it with a shovel, skinned it, and cooked it for food.

Made me think of this:

Eventually I quit my job and became one of the shareholders at another place.

My company had a year where they earned $500M after tax, which was equivalent to an earning of $3.5M per employee, and I got a bonus of $6000 which was the standard bonus for all employees weighted compared to their annual salary.

That summer we had our yearly summer party in a tent on our parking lot…

Haha I can see that that would have worked as well. Not a bad way to start the day.

A mini heart attack was the only thing that could get me up in the morning in my teenage years.

I used this song as my alarm clock https://youtu.be/E2WyDq0-5aY

The first 5 seconds gets you and then besides that it is a pretty good song.

If you’re in a group and talking about someone who isn’t there, imagine they are. That way, you’ll never say something you might regret later.

While gambling away his money

I worked for a call center 10+ years ago, and if I searched for customers, which I had not talked to, in our internal CRM system, it would be flagged in an internal system, which potentially could end with employees being fired. I was an inbound customer service rep, and the only thing i thing i could get access to was their name, address and their phone bills… So, yeah, it just surprises me that the policies around accessing “private” data is so Laissez-faire.

i don’t know why it surprises me… I know that the data is not encrypted, and that it is stored on their servers, but still, I thought the users had at least some minimum of privacy, at least from individuals working at Meta.
