sschueller··on OpenClaw surpasses React to become the most-starred software project on GitHub
What is an effective use case? I have set it up but I don't know what to do with it. Just a personal assistant (if you were to give it access to your stuff)? Mine is caged in a VLAN with only internet access.
sschueller··on Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is killed in Israeli strike, ending 36-year rule
What are you talking about? Russia has effectively been blocked from the west while when the United States invaded Iraq nothing happened. Europe trades with the US like nothing ever happened while Russia will never return to what it was before without at minimum Putin being gone.

Europe even still trades with Israel when what they have done is Gaza has been declared a genocide by everyone. At the same time Russia can't even take part in the Olympics or the Eurovision song contest.

The west has no moral ground to stand on and hopefully people in the west will start to see that.

sschueller··on The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
There is no such thing but I guess the US still has not learned this after so many conflicts.
sschueller··on Show HN: Agent Swarm – Multi-agent self-learning teams (OSS)
I would love to see this run with a less expensive model like GLM-5 or so.
sschueller··on Open Letter to Google on Mandatory Developer Registration for App Distribution
If there was a choice to a non-walled garden. It has been taken away, how can you bank without one of the two?
sschueller··on Diode – Build, program, and simulate hardware
Lol, it simulates magic smoke as well.
sschueller··on I built Timeframe, our family e-paper dashboard
I assume you do not own a wall clock?

I make these https://www.stationdisplay.com/ . They are also just as "useless" as a wall clock yet people find it a lot more pleasing to take a glance at something to give the information instantly, than having to make multiple decisions in order to take their phone out, open the app and find the place with the information they need.

sschueller··on Acme Weather
In Switzerland all weather data is now also open and accessible via API. You can also use it for commercial purposes.

sschueller··on EU mandates replaceable batteries by 2027 (2023)
You have remove screws and be careful not to damage anything. Easy for you and me but not for the layman.

Sorry but why do we have to accept mediocre as acceptable these days? My old laptop had hot-swapable batteries.

sschueller··on EU mandates replaceable batteries by 2027 (2023)
Not true, they may have not been as good but the phones also didn't need so much power. I never had to buy a new battery for all the nokias I owned all the way until Nokia the company died.

The phone that had the worst battery was the first iphone, it wasn't water proof either yet the battery was non removable.

sschueller··on EU mandates replaceable batteries by 2027 (2023)
It is doable and with all the amazing achievements this is the thing that is too hard to get working? Also all new foldables are not water proof (yet).

Your MacBook isn't water proof either yet the battery is also permanently glued in. Why?

sschueller··on Trump's global tariffs struck down by US Supreme Court
Like Switzerland that basically has zero tariffs on export to the US but was initially slapped with 39% because trump can't stand women in power? What about Brasil where trump stated the 50% tariff is punishment for putting Bolsonaro in prison?
sschueller··on Trump's global tariffs struck down by US Supreme Court
The global damage has been done. It took too long and it looks like it will only be partially reversed.

Constitutional changes are required for other countries to trust in the stability of the US in the future.

sschueller··on Supreme Court strikes down Trump's tariffs
Wouldn't he be required to pay everyone back?
sschueller··on US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere
So I will finally be able to access those US news websites that block EU access because of the cookie banner?
sschueller··on US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere
So can this be used to loop back to US age restricted content?
sschueller··on Tesla 'Robotaxi' adds 5 more crashes in Austin in a month – 4x worse than humans
Lidar and radar will also get better and having all possible sensors will always out perform camera only.
sschueller··on EU bans the destruction of unsold apparel, clothing, accessories and footwear
Why would you over produce something no one wants?

Also if really no one wanted it, why are companies destroying the items instead of giving them away?

sschueller··on EU bans the destruction of unsold apparel, clothing, accessories and footwear
However hypercars are not purposely limited. It takes an enormous amount of time and labor to build them unlike a handbag where the limit is artificial to sell more.
sschueller··on Oat – Ultra-lightweight, zero dependency, semantic HTML, CSS, JS UI library
Sad that HN is now also getting boted by LLMs. People are just shameless. HN is one of the few places left where you can post / self promote something you have made only for people to take advantage of it.
sschueller··on I have been banned from Gemini
Not yet, so far only Gemini.

I haven't used it other than doing some reverse engineering via KiloCode. https://sschueller.github.io/posts/making-a-label-printer-wo... to be exact.

I am so glad "open" alternatives exist that are almost as good and no state or company has control over. Living in a world where cooperation can decided who "wins" and who "looses" is a scary thing.

Google gives no explanation, no recourse. nothing.

sschueller··on MinIO repository is no longer maintained
So far for me garage seems to work quite well as an alternative although it does lack some of the features of minio.
sschueller··on GLM-5: Targeting complex systems engineering and long-horizon agentic tasks
Funny, living in Europe, I prefer using EU and Chinese hosts because as I don't want my data going to the US.

The trust in US firms and state is completely gone.

sschueller··on GLM-5: Targeting complex systems engineering and long-horizon agentic tasks
I could say that about Cisco and I would not be wrong.
sschueller··on OpenAI exec becomes top Trump donor with $25M gift
It's actually illegal in many like in Switzerland for example. The Rolex executives that gifted the gold bar and watch to Trump's library may face consequences.
sschueller··on The Waymo World Model
Autonomous cars need to be significantly better than humans to be fully accepted especially when an accident does happen. Hence limiting yourself to only cameras is futile.
sschueller··on Top downloaded skill in ClawHub contains malware
Well looks like it's back already :)

Edit: https://docs.openclaw.ai/skills doesn't work for me

sschueller··on Top downloaded skill in ClawHub contains malware
Well it appears https://openclaw.ai/ is down now. I get "Secure Connection Failed"
sschueller··on Don't rent the cloud, own instead
Yep, does anyone remember the OVH fire[1][2]?
