This isn't what I expected when I heard "world model"!
Re:Is anyone actually using OpenClaw? on Wednesday April 15, 2026 @06:22PM (#47786109)
I used it very similarly to you, but found it to be about $3.50 per day, or $100 a month. It wasn't worth that.
Re:YouTube deleted an electronics repair channel [video] on Tuesday July 07, 2020 @10:38AM (#23759719)
John Gruber and Ben Thompson discussed a comparison of podcast vs. youtube and how podcasting isn't dominated by one company like youtube is for video. This is in the context of Joe Rogan moving to spotify. https://overcast.fm/+B7NB1G3rw/44:01
Re:Tell HN: Toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and now web cams on Wednesday April 08, 2020 @10:16AM (#22813127)
John Boiles has a proof of concept of the OBS virtual cam. I tried it out and it worked for me, although I had to build it and OBS from source. He has good instructions.

Ah, yes, the trailing comma in a list, which I like to refer to as the "Silicon Valley Comma"

Sounds like the title of the paper should be "The Network is Unreliable, but it Usually Doesn't Matter."
Re:Docker containers should not run an SSH server on Thursday June 26, 2014 @02:11PM (#7950855)
nsenter might be a short term solution, but IMHO, getting a resolution to this issue https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/1228 so you can just do "docker exec <cid> /bin/bash" is much simpler than the nsenter call he recommends. Plus, he leaves out chroot, so I have a different view of the filesystem than PID 1 inside the container does.

"Note that the shell script must run the daemon without letting it daemonize/fork it. Usually, daemons provide a command line flag or a config file option for that."

Re:Why the Heck is Git so Hard? on Monday February 03, 2014 @09:38PM (#7175145)
The best book on git is only 30 pages long. It's called git from the bottom up and it describes the architecture of git, which makes understanding it much simpler than studying command line options.

"The water-cooled supercomputers require 1.7 million gallons of water per day to function."

Anyone have a citation for that? I suspect that water is in circulation. I doubt they send almost two million gallons into the sewage system everyday.

Re:OS X Isn't for Developers on Friday March 11, 2011 @02:37AM (#2312544)
If there was a package manager for os x that shipped binaries we wouldn't be in this predicament either. brew building from source is just as much to blame as os x not shipping gcc with default install.
