After X time, you will die. There, I said it. The reason I say it openly is because I almost quit the game not understanding that this is supposed to happen . Not really much of a spoiler.

(No real spoilers in my comment): Great game, but if you get stuck for a long time, just look up some spoilers. Multiple times I abandoned the "right" approach to a problem because I couldn't get it to work and wasted count

I've read his biography. It was definitely intentional - and of course making a living by writing was a big factor. But he just didn't like the academic environment or his colleagues.

Z.ai explicitly allows you to use it with OpenClaw on their plans.

How are you handling memory? That's what makes it "not work" for most people.

It's used a lot in LaTeX and Word. It's not as rare as people make them out to be. It's just that we haven't had a convenient way to enter it in a browser form that some of us (younger folks!) find the em-dash weird.

Classic case of hacking the axis to exaggerate a point. It went from 19.3 to 32.5. It did not even double. Which means that if you see a comment with an em-dash, it's more likely to be human than LLM.

Lots of simple one offs. Stuff like "Here's the URL for a forum thread that has 10 pages of messages. Go through all of them and tell me if information X is in there." Or "Here is the site to after school activities. Che

At my not-small-company, we have a dedicated channel where employees discuss their OpenClaw experiments. Real people do use it :-)

Used it for a few weeks. The potential of the tool is massive. The reality is that it is frustrating and unreliable. When it works, though, you really like it. I stopped because something changed on my machine that broke my VM SW, so I do

Anticipation of stories like this are why I didn't rely much on Google 20 years ago. Never used Gmail other than as a throwaway account. Went many years before I had a Youtube account. Finally made one to upload some videos. I am norma

I would suggest looking into the medical research on the downsides of getting little sleep. After a single night of low sleep (and 4 hours is low), even though you'll feel fine, your body will not process a lot of things the way it nor

For those who don't know, rasterman was the original creator of Enlightenment. His last comment before today was in 2016. And he came on today just to comment. Thanks for making Enlightenment! I really enjoyed it for the brief time I u

Back in the early 2000's, I used Enlightenment. I wouldn't have called it "lightweight", but it definitely was not heavy. It ran smoothly on my not-so-great-hardware. And definitely lighter than DEs like KDE/Gnome.

I'll second the "Telegram is great for bots". It's the reason OpenClaw users use it. I stopped using OpenClaw a while ago, but I did vibe code the very basic automations I had used OpenClaw for. Getting it to work with T
