The key thing with pi is that it can extend itself. How does that work when it’s written in rust?

What models have you guys tried to use with OpenClaw that you've found suitable for the task? Codex personally rules for my dev style but not sure how well it works in the claw scenario.

how is this a news item. LLMs figured this out for me two years ago

Quick search on duck duck go for an historical exchange rate calculator this was one of the top choices. First I thought the numbers were a bit off, then I noticed that every time I click the "Get historical rates" button the numbers are different. Think our jobs are safe for now guys.

On a plane from Sydney to Tokyo. Just "vibe coded" a tool we've needed for years in a matter of hours. Web workers, OPFS file management, e2e tests via playwright, Effect service encapsulation and mocking etc.
If you know the domain it's a 3-6X efficiency improvement.
Amazing how well LLMs work on airplane wifi. Just text after all.

I’d be really curious to read a write-up on the technical details of integrating their sync engine with the two different mobile platforms. For someone following the local first landscape Linear is the poster child of a great app that leverages its benefits so understanding how it fits together when going native on mobile would be a compelling read.

Local first is the first software trend in a long time that has gotten me really excited. The aspect of co-located data and logic is what's most interesting for me for two reasons:
1. Easier to develop - Sync layer handles all the tricky stuff, no need for translation layer between server and client.
2. Better user experience - Immediate UI feedback, no network dependency etc.
I suspect there will be a major tide shift within the next year or two when a local first framework with the developer experience similar to Nuxt or Next comes about. The Rails of local first.
I can't recommend enough the localfirst.fm podcast which has been a great introduction to the people and projects in the space: https://www.localfirst.fm/

Do you think there will be a market for typical household electronics items such as the hairdryer specifically made with repairability in the near future? Perhaps driven (unlikely) by consumer demand or more likely by resource prices or legislative pressure.

Found this when looking for ways to simulate light paths. Thought it's kind of neat and the kind of thing usually appreciated by the HN crowd.

Schwitters legacy lives on. When I was studying at the Royal College of Art I was part of the Mertziety which made yearly excursions out to the Mertz barn[1] which is where Kurt took shelter in the UK during the Second World War. It’s in a beautiful location located in Elterwater in the Lake District UK. Ian and Celia who take care of the place are very keen to share their stories to anybody who’s visiting and it’s well worth a visit for anybody who’s in the area.
For a contemporary incarnation of Schwitters attitude to making art check out Catriona Robertson [2] who was one of the original founders of Merzierty.

This is an excellent tool, would be good to have some simple rounding functionality. Perhaps a generic visible decimal points settings or a round() method of some sort.

After reading this my mind went to the same place of viewing the clipboard as a stack. Wonder if that’s possible system-wide.
One solution I have in vim which I always forget to use is adding an additional d or p to use a secondary paste buffer:
vnoremap dd "ad
nnoremap ddd "add
nnoremap pp "ap
