Workers are supposed to always be worried about the overall economy, but companies firing thousands of people can ignore everything that is not related with their revenue/profit. It's hilarious.

I remember when I had these kind of takes. I blindly believed in "equal treatment, including billionaires". Now I get frustrated reading them, but I have empathy from understanding where they come from (for now, at least).

Anecdotally as well, but I believe that US companies are hiring in big waves in India and other developing markets. I know people who went from zero contacts to daily messages from big tech recruiters in these countries. I've seen people saying that is the result of that specific US section that expired last year, but I'm a layman, so I don't have the knowledge to debate the reasons.

I'm a layman in this field, and I always thought that satellites were supposed to take a very small space in orbit... until I saw a GIF made from Artemis 2 ship. Satellites were big enough that could see the queue of them orbiting Earth in the GIF. Maybe they were the bigger ones and I'm confusing them with Starlink?

Small things can reflect large numbers of photons :)

The Artemis gif you are referring to only shows the satellites because the earth is eclipsing the the sun and they did a long exposure.

Those satellites showing up in the gif are briefly catching the sun at the perfect angle.

Why is Google doing this? They would need to moderate the use of the API, right? What they could gain having to moderate use of a browser's API?

A blank cheque to restrict access to any website they want.

Thanks, I was going to say exactly that. I agree with most of the other comment, but the biological part did not sound correct to me. Biologically, we should impregnate as much people as possible, and monogamous couples would not be the standard.

IMO, there's nothing comparable to MacBook Air in its price range if you are an average user. Neo is even better in that aspect. The model you cited sounds better if you are planning to use Linux and are computer literate. But if you just want something that is good (not perfect) at everything usual, a MacBook is a no-brainer.

I don't think MacOS is better than Windows, so I disagree with that take.

Most people that I have interacted with consider macOS to be more confusing and less usable than Windows. It's not just you.

Don't do that, just avoid answering the "non-believers" or whatever they are called. Your comments are insightful for me (and for a lot of other people, I'm sure). You don't need to prove that they are useful, just comment about your experience and ignore them. It's like arguing about religion trying to make the other person to flip their beliefs (a waste of time for everyone involved)

I guess you're right, I really need to get better at ignoring some people. It just really got to me today because someone else looked at one of my projects for two seconds and decided to tell me off for it being "insecure" and "slop", and it kind of ruined my day.

Thanks for the support!

Are small local models good enough for driving OpenClaw-likes or an API key from one of the big labs is needed?

Depends on what you're using it for I suppose. A common tactic with Openclaw itself is to have a cheap or local model as the default, with rules to "escalate" to other models based on task complexity/type. But if every cron job comes with complete access to your personal machine and browser profile... Yeah, better go for the most predictable model you can find.

I always recommend Claude Opus 4.6 for anything OpenClaw gets its hands on.

I was hopeful that small models would be enough for the majority of the tasks, but I understand that it's not the case yet. But thanks for answering

If they use any social media like Instagram or TikTok, just ask them to show their DMs as well. I was a douchebag when I was younger, and that was the first step into realizing that I was not aware of the women experience as I thought as I was at the time.
