Something very interesting happened to me yesterday.

I'd been having conversations with ChatGPT about OpenClaw, nothing remarkable or extraordinary. Then I started a new conversation to talk about a different aspect, and GPT assumed I wanted to talk about some old PC game.

To disambiguate, I now had to refer to OpenClaw.ai. I asked it if it had some new system directive about this, and of course it denied it. Today we learn OpenAI has hired the OpenClaw developer, and he's "turning the project over to a foundation"

A true pioneer.

And a radio ham.

Looks interesting, but the license is a show-stopper for me. I can't expose my employer to that kind of risk. I poured a lot of time and effort into learning Akka and has to throw it all away.

Yes. The current Flipper app store has an app that spams from a library of known codes until you tell it to stop

LadyAda of Adafruit got her start with such a device.

It's because their presence in our country is not legal. In fact the full term in our law is "illegal alien", Genesis even wrote a song with that title.

"Undocumented" is a euphemism coined by leftists to try to make illegal status seem trivial and unimportant.

It's propaganda

I sent it over a serial line to pip running on my Osborne after I bought one. Patched the console vectors and it was up and running.

On mine it's keyboard ctl-left/right arrow. Paint is worn off the metal surround as a result. I don't recall a knob.

"Regional international governing body"

I remember when regions were smaller than nations...

The cost factor of international complications along with the impossibility of meeting every country's speech restrictions simultaneously may be why Elon is reducing Twitter's offshore presence dramatically. It could easily become a US-only platform. Which may be the only way for it to survive financially while meeting free speech goals.

The abort engine burn apparently used up the solid fuel engine, so the capsule landing wasn't gentle either. Looked like it dug a substantial hole.

It seems to be written for an audience which doesn’t know the first thing about science.

Because it's written by people who don't know the first thing about science.

I just use Librarything
