Re:Edit an SQLite database in your browser on Thursday October 29, 2026 @05:39PM (#50296477)
Thanks for mentioning this, I'm still looking for the best note app for me, and this looks nice for storing photos along with notes..

Since it stores to sqldb I could probably sync the db to a webserver and build a web frontend for presentation.

There is nothing dictating how long you stop and think for.
I do think I answered his general question, which seemed centered around his bitcoin skepticism.

The more detailed answer on how this works can be found by going to the site and clicking "How It Works"

1 Someone Emails You 2 The Gate Catches It 3 Sender Sees the Payment Page - The sender clicks the payment link in the reply. They see exactly what's being held and what it costs: 4 Pay with Lightning — 15 seconds 5 Email Delivered

phew
You created an account to say that.

Inefficient human response.

LLM or not, it provided more value than this thought/question directly from your brain
What are you skeptical about?

You don't need to buy into the "Bitcoin will replace the U.S. dollar" narrative to buy $5 worth of bitcoin to send a few hundreds or thousands of emails..

No one goes to an arcade wanting to play a game and says "I don't know about these tokens, though..."

You buy bitcoin somewhere (if you can't figure this out yourself you arent trying)

And send it to whatever address this app provides to you..

Re:We Might All Be AI Engineers Now on Friday March 06, 2026 @05:07PM (#47281757)
AI gave you the option of making it happen without learning anything.

It also gives you an avenue to accelerate your learning if that is your goal.

and it will be folks using AI taking over for at least a while...

Some people try, most people don't.

AI makes doing almost anything easier for the people that do..

Despite the prophesied near-term obliteration of white collar work, I've never felt luckier to work in software.

It is amazing that this has to be confirmed on a website...

Wouldn't there be a clip of her saying it?

No one has even bothered to spend the 25 cents on an AI generated one as far as I've seen.

Actually, no she didn't, but a lot of people are saying she did.
Re:OpenClaw Is Changing My Life on Sunday February 08, 2026 @03:15PM (#46938081)
My 15 year old son has been building his own video games with Unreal Engine for a few years..

I was recently looking for mentors to work with him and advance his skills, targeting college aged kids / young 20s..

It was surprising to me how many people I came across in this field at this young age that are trying to focus on the "higher level" game planning aspects and not so much on the lower level implementation specifics.

I have seen dozens of people/videos talking about buying Mac minis for clawdbot.

I don't understand why, but I've seen it enough to start questioning myself...

There was nothing constructive about his criticism of the platform related to web dev in any way.

I know a lot about his politics now though.

unreasonably judgmental rant against your solution

Re:OpenClaw – Moltbot Renamed Again on Friday January 30, 2026 @02:52PM (#46829013)
To be clear, I didn't use clawdbot for my project.

If you are at all tech savvy, you can use n8n to set up a workflow that connects to all your data and provides an interface to talk to it..

This is the route I would recommend, and what everyone is using to build quick "AI Solutions" for businesses.

Re:OpenClaw – Moltbot Renamed Again on Friday January 30, 2026 @12:41PM (#46827353)
open source is not anti normie... free is very pro normie..

self hosted? you mean, you install it?

it's not hard to use?

Re:OpenClaw – Moltbot Renamed Again on Friday January 30, 2026 @11:42AM (#46826573)
A very small percentage of people know how to set up a cronjob.

They can now combine cronjobs and LLMs with a single human sentence.

This is huge for normies.

Not so much if you already had strong development skills.

EDIT: But you are correct in the assessment that people who don't know better will use it to do simple things that could be done millions of times more efficiently..

I made a chatbot at my company where you can chat with each individual client's data that we work with..

My manager tested it by asking it to find a rate (divide this company number by that company number), for like a dozen companies, one by one..

He would have saved time looking at the table it gets its data from, using a calculator.

I read the title and thought it meant that if you just exercise everything else will fall into place.

I should probably still try that.

Re:All it takes is for one to work out on Saturday November 29, 2025 @05:24PM (#46091375)
Unless you interpret 'working out' as being 'the right fit', then it comes together pretty nicely

Re:Writing Your Own Beam on Monday November 10, 2025 @07:49PM (#45882825)
I knew what the BEAM was, but in his defense, searching "BEAM" doesn't bring up anything relevant in the first few pages I looked at.

Re:Show HN: Run any GUI app in the terminal with term.everything on Wednesday September 10, 2025 @05:53PM (#45204457)
why did this go away?
It could only work as an internet streaming device.

It was released in a time that people bought mp3s, even ringtones!
