Or... the tools get to the point where we don't need a human for expertise but accountability and the role becomes more about ethics, thereby lowering the bar. (PUN!)

Re:It's getting harder to focus every day on Friday July 24, 2026 @01:09PM (#49038641)
This is me. I hate it. I'm working though (ever so slowly) The Global Village by Marshall McLuhan and I really like the metaphor technology going from Visual to Acoustic. Put another way the past had a serial enforcement we don't have today with always-on connections and easy access to distractions.

I've been trying to introduce more friction into my life to make doing harder things the right thing. 1. I have a rooted Orchid F1 flip phone with Telegram and Firefox focus. Telegram lets me TTS to an openclaw instance if I need to get something "out" but long interactions are awful with the small screen and latency. Firefox focus is also terrible in all the right ways. If I'm out and HAVE to search for something this is enough of a break glass solution but for the most part it's just calls and texts. 2. I carry an xteink x3 for books. I'm trying to read more so this being the only thing available has me reaching for it more than I'd normally do.

I don't have a good solution for things at work yet. Maybe I'll start blocking all websites or doing strict pomodoros.

Or :gasp: take less profit. The game will take in Billions especially if they release new versions like GTA5 over time.

On Android, Firefox with sponsorblock. I do pay for Premium though. In since YouTube Red.
Hello! Parent that's fully aware of this. My son has access to a landline and it solves the problem of tech as a tool vs a past time. If he thinks of his friend, he calls, friends reach out etc. No scrolling for something to do. I see my phone usage and am constantly trying to introduce friction into it. This is an extension of that concept.
I believe in you.

It's way too easy to export your context for this to be real. I moved away from ChatGPT from Gemini months ago and haven't thought of it. Paid.
What's the fun in that? Also I think /stop would help here.

Re:ClawHub on Tuesday February 10, 2026 @02:20PM (#46965350)
Does Openwork replace the need for openclaw? Seems like a more grown up version of it.
I've been been using OpenClaw for a bit now and the thing I'm missing is observability. What's this thing thinking/doing right now? Where's my audit log? Every rewrite I see fails to address this.

I feel Elixir and the BEAM would be a perfect language to write this in. Gateways hanging, context window failures exhaustion can be elegantly modeled and remedied with supervision trees. For tracking thoughts, I can dump a process' mailbox and see what it's working on.

Re:Ask HN: Anyone Using a Mac Studio for Local AI/LLM? on Thursday February 05, 2026 @07:03PM (#46907246)
I do! I have an M3 Ultra with 512GB. A couple of opencode sessions running work well. Currently running GML 4.7 but was on Kimi K2.5. Both great. Excited for more efficiencies to make their way to LLMs in general.
Re:Qwen3-Coder-Next on Wednesday February 04, 2026 @11:19AM (#46887710)
I tried Coder yesterday with OpenCode... didn't have a great experience. Got caught in a loop reading a single file over and over again until the context filled up. GLM 4.7 has been crushing it so far. One's thinking and other isn't so that's part of it I'm sure.
Re:Qwen3-Coder-Next on Tuesday February 03, 2026 @05:59PM (#46878619)
Not crazy about it. It keeps getting stuck in a loop and filling up the context window (131k, run locally). Kimi's been nice, even if a bit slow.
Re:Qwen3-Coder-Next on Tuesday February 03, 2026 @01:52PM (#46875436)
Going to try this over Kimi k2.5 locally. It was nice but just a bit too slow and a resource hog.
Re:OpenClaw – Moltbot Renamed Again on Friday January 30, 2026 @11:42AM (#46826583)
I'll give it a shot. For me it's (promise) is about removing friction. Using the Unix philosophy of small tools, you can send text, voice, image, video to an LLM and (the magic I think) it maintains context over time. So memory is the big part of this.

The next part that makes this compelling is the integration. Mind you, scary stuff, prompt injection, rogue commands, but (BIG BUT) once we figure this out it will provide real value.

Read email, add reminder to register dog with the township, or get an updated referral from your doctor for a therapist. All things that would normally fall through the cracks are organized and presented. I think about all the great projects we see on here, like https://unmute.sh/ and love the idea of having llms get closer to how we interact naturally. I think this gets us closer to that.

Ran into this a few days ago while looking for a way out of the subscription hell of self driving offerings. Very excited to watch this space!
Re:Nvidia: Natural Conversational AI with Any Role and Voice on Wednesday January 21, 2026 @07:48AM (#46704973)
Its funny the give away for these is they respond too quickly! Really good though.
I've moved to https://github.com/readest/readest over audio books in most cases. I just need the dang thing in my ears and their TTS is good enough.
Great find! unmute was a trip to play with
