Yes, sure, they're using Linux within a virtual machine (WSL2).

I have two friends that are using coding agents on Windows, which was surprising to learn. Edit: yes, with WSL2 I believe in both cases. I would have assumed almost everyone would get a Mac/Linux computer to use coding agents because U

Hi, I'm one of the people working on trying to make CLAW.md a thing. Happy to get feedback or answer any questions! We think the lack of a CLAW.md format is one of the biggest things holding asynchronous agents like OpenClaw back. Toda

"Your database needs to be in exactly one region. So no matter where you put it, the majority of uses on earth are going to be > 100ms away from it." You're assuming a single global database, which ignores the many alterna

Sure but there's a ton of complexity in any kind of local-first syncing solution. Often the solution is CRDTs. My point above is that the simple solution ("traditional CRUD app") is actually viable even when the goal is very

These kinds of local-first syncing web apps are really interesting and can be really useful, but I think the premise is somewhat wrong. "A few milliseconds is all it takes to update an issue in Linear. A traditional CRUD app doing the

Thanks! Yeah, it is left to a claw's tasks to be idempotent. A rollback mechanism could be interesting but many of the tasks have irreversible side effects. For example, you can't undo sending an email that has already been delive

Hey fairramone, not sure why your comment got killed (maybe ask the mods) but I'll answer it here: "Your laptop, Mac mini, or a VM" -- is there a Clor-hosted option, or is it always on your own hardware? Do the tools run loc

I'm one of the co-founders, happy to answer questions. Clor ships a toolbox of CLIs that claws can call directly (but don't have to), grouped into simple areas like Inference (Claude/GPT/Gemini/OpenRouter), Web (sea

They did as well competing with Google on search as they have competing with Apple on smartphones.

There were lots of search engines but very few that made serious well-funded attempts at competing head-to-head with Google.

"Google had the best search engine, it became a centre of gravity..." Almost no one made serious attempts at competing with Google. And not because of network effects or any other hard blocker. In the early 2000s, the industry j

The Wright brothers' original vision for airplanes was that they could pretty much take off and land from a basic field. And they did seem to consider the idea of heavily prepared airfields something of a failure case. There are very g
