Very cool. Is there a way to have a notion of a session, saving state between runs?
We work in this space and have found that, very often, the realities on the ground do not match the digital information, especially when it comes to geospatial data, where businesses exist, what businesses actually exist, and their status. At Rwazi, we have millions of users helping collect on-the-ground data.
I collect data from "Who wants to be hired" threads. This month is one of the highest in years.
Very cool. Could you include a skill.md of AGENTS.md for this?
Interesting. Im looking for solution to run multiple OpenClaw bots in the cloud, with security and isolation in mind.
Would these thing be good for openclaw, agents?
Very interesting. LLMs open up space for transforming unstructured raw data into visualizations and dashboards. I made something just looking at “Who wants to be hired” posts.

I've been tracking number of post in "Who wants to be hired", this month has been the highest I a few years
Is there a good way to enable this model within VSCode, looking for something like Copilot?
Thank for sharing your work. I tried running your model via Thinker but it didn't seem to work.
Is there a skill directory that can be browsed by a human?

Thank you for the feedback. Yes, I’ll be adding a “Who’s Hiring” section. “Wants remote” is one of the questions people answer when they post in the "Who Wants to Be Hired" thread.

Hi HN,I’ve been analyzing Ask HN: Who Wants to Be Hired? threads going back three years and built HireIndex to make the data explorable.Given how much the industry has changed, a few trends stood out:1. A sharp increase in posts starting in 2023
There’s a significant jump in the number of people posting beginning in 2023, which aligns with the broader tech downturn and layoffs. This marks a...
Seems like they just raised 150m at 1.7B valuation. Crazy.
I would think they did some model pruning. There's some new methods.
Thank you for the feedback.

I've been using and supporting FontAwesome for over 10 years, including paying for licenses to support the great work they do. However, their sales tactics have become quite frustrating. I encountered an issue where I couldn't downgrade from Pro Max to Pro, despite their plan page stating:"If you just need icons for a web project, our online-only Pro Lite plan is a good choice. If you’re not...
If anything, it’s the sales team that should be doing the complaining—engineers have it much easier.
This is incorrect. Clearly defining tasks not only aids in tracking and reporting but also helps developers stay organized. It promotes transparency and effective communication, especially for remote teams working across different time zones. At all times everyone knows what they are working on.
Governance is really work in progress but I'm happy to see that people are taken this on. Many crypto projects are building in governance into their tokens and networks. I think we will see voting on the blockchain within in the next 5 years -- probably done by smaller countries or municipalities first. We will get more data and information about tech. vs social rite. Moreover, being on the blockchain doesn't mean that people can't exp. the social rite by going to vote.
I'm sorry my comment rubbed some people the wrong way but I think you prove my point. Your point of view is total based on a "gut-feeling" and "I have a hunch", your ignoring the facts that are provided to you.
ICO - literally billions of dollars raised by companies each year. All done on the blockchain.
Defi - 6 billion dollars locked in defi (lending and borrowing) - 10x grown in the last 12 months.
Hundreds of paper have been published - advancing cryptology and Comp. Sci.
-Decentralized Identity (see W3C DID)
-Votes aren't verifiable by everyone.
-Privacy
Just to name a few.
Most of the issues are around the UI/UX but these are being solved. I would take a look at metamask and other web wallets that make crypto really easy to use. Web3 websites that have wallet integration built in are actually easier to use than most online credit card forms. Think of it as a Amazon one-click but on every Web3 website.
Most Crypto projects are raising money via ICO route without dealing with VCs, cap tables, and board seats. Most of these projects will fail, just the nature of innovation. Few will succeed and change the world, I will argue that Eth (one of the first ICOs) already changed the world.
1) Not all voting needs privacy
2) For stronger privacy, I would look into reading more about;
a) Xpub, Ypub and Zpub and UTXO
b) Mimblewimble
c) Monero and PIVC
