and to make it even more convenient so that you won't risk losing your token(s)....they can be tattooed on your permanently,....like a bar code or QR code....
Ah...what a wonderful world we're heading for....
Hmmm, strange....much of this sounds like something I've heard about or read about before....?
But if it were to happen, I'm taking bets on the replacement. Where will the Reddit users flock to? There are already at least a couple of similar sites even using the Reddit code
I heard once of this old, ancient site....called Slashdot.
I wonder if they could find it once again.....?
If not a physical paper flyer...do they not post the weekly sales online?
That's what I look at and plan my weekly grocery shopping around...I see what proteins are on sale first usually and then plan my meals around that....easy way to save money and in general, you will eat what's in season (veggies/fruit) which is better anyway.
C' mon....this isnt' rocket surgery....
Plus the extra cost of running power to every shelf in the store
I'd think they might be battery powered....?
Those labels move a lot over time with products shifting here and there over the shelf space....
I don't think there's a whole lot of overlap in the Venn Diagram of "people who exercise their 2A rights" and "people who ride in robotaxis". Typically, the sort of mindset that leads someone to feel they need a gun for protection stems from valuing self-reliance, and owning your own vehicle falls under that umbrella.
Some/many of us carry concealed every day.....as the scouts used to say "always be prepared".
Self defense can be a valid defense for your target killing you, and you don't have to sign anything.
That's why it's a good idea to carry concealed firearms....like I do every day.
Did they ever come?
Given the story said there was an official police report I'm going to go with yes
There's the old adage....when seconds count...the police are only minutes away.
That's why I carry concealed firearms....If that asshole had broken into the car and tried to carry out his threat of "killing" the passengers, well....there's a good chance he'd be taking the room temperature test soon after....
Yes the world is full of crazy people. You should be on the look out, whether this one particular person has been arrested or not.
No one wants to do it, but like you said, there are crazy people out there and sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to defend yourself and your loved ones.
Yeah, get out and face the probably armed idiot who jumped on the car. Smart move.
That's when I draw my concealed carry firearm to help ensure my safe exit.
Or at least even the odds....
One thing I thought of, that some of the video suggest...is as you go on, the agent gets to know you and your interests and you can kind of 'reverse" query it and have it make suggestions of what it can do to be of value to you.
I have some cooking and food related interests I have in mind for it....but keeping that to myself for now....
HTH
This is war....
With the sheer volume of munitions slung so far and THATs the entirety of collateral damage.....I'd calll it a miracle.
It's very sad, but honestly I'd have expected more collateral damage...and I think it shows how advanced we actually are to be able to be as precise as we have been so far, especially considering how much we've blown up over there.
And thing is...Iran could stop it right now...and just behave like any other modern country....give up, quit funding terrorists, quit trying to get nukes and their life would instantly turn around to prosperity.
Maybe it's because I'm in the US, but aside from some rise in gas prices...nothing major in my area....this hasn't affected my life so far in the least.
Can some of you in EU give a clearer picture of if this is really hitting ya'll in a meaningful way at this point?
So far I see all these "Chicken Little" type article and I'm just not personally seeing it.
I was a kid in the 70's....and while it got bad in the US for a bit, life did't stop and the world didn't end....didn't even come close.
and it didn't last all that long....
So, is this just that we now have 24/7 news and they continuously have to have HEADLINES...?
I'm honestly confused about what OpenClaw is supposed to be good for, and why I should want to run it. Am I just showing my age and I can't appreciate modern tools? Or have millions of people gone crazy? Please tell me what I'm missing.
It's a program whose behavior is unpredictable and unreliable. I'm supposed to install it on my computer and give it read and write access to my files and my online accounts. I'm supposed to do that in the hope it will do some things I like and not do too many things I don't like, but with no guarantee of either.
Why is that not a terrible idea?
Well, I'd consider myself an older user....and as such, first...I'm going to a TON of research reading about it....it's pretty much all I watch on YouTube past weeks....and hell, I even go back and forth with my ChatGPT free account asking questions.
So first....I've been researching security on it....
It doesn't appear to be rocket surgery, but it is an agent and especially starting out I don't want it to do much actually until I learn more about it.
That's one appealing part of this project, learning AI and Agents....the purpose and functionality.
Like many, I bought a bit of hardware to dedicate to it, I have some disposable income so I got a Mac Mini 24GB M4 chip.
It just came in the other day.
So, I'm confining the agents to one box...dedicated to this purpose.
I"m hoping to run 2-3 agents on it, one master and two worker agents that are more specialized.
I plan to learn more about containers....because Im relegating each agent to its own container. Security and if one blows up, it doesn't take everything down.
Now...agents...well, by themselves they won't go do anything...they need a model to power them.
One can pay to use something like ChatGPT or Claude, etc....I plan to run local models to again learn about AI and how they work and save a bit of $$ if I can.
I plan to run small local models for each agent...for quick decisions making, easy stuff.....I also have an old Intel Mac Pro with I think 48 or so GB ram, and a 36GB video ram GPU card. It isn't Nvidia, but I think the tools I"m going to be using ollama/llama.cpp are "metal friendly" and hopefully can utilize some of that for the larger local models.
But that one will be for jobs that need a bit more power behind them.
I may toy with paying for a bit of real ChatGPT if needed for heavy job...but again this is experimental.
Anyway...the models are the brains behind the agents.
With OpenClaw...vs just talking 1-1 with an agent like we do today commonly....OC has 'memory' capabilities it a remember long term conversations so this proves valuable over long term jobs and interactions. It also can run 24/7 jobs you tell it to do....but I get ahead of myself.
I'm starting off slow...not granting it much access to anything. But as I grow and learn I'll allow it to maybe run out and scrape websites to research topics of interest. I might set up email accounts just for it and maybe a telegram account to interact with the main agent.
I may start off with having it gather morning reports on topics that interest me....and organize it and see if it can suggest to me new things to do with that info.
I may experiment with it coding up small project for me...see how that works.
But starting off...no, not giving it a bunch of personal. Information....no access to my personal calendars or bank accounts, etc.
It's there to experiment with and see exactly what I can do with it that is useful.
As I grow more confident in it, and my ability to secure it....I may give it more rope....
But I'm thinking fun projects....let it train itself on the market to see if I can predict trends , etc. I'm sure I'm NOT the first to think of this..but could be fun.
I thought it might be fun to have it scrape horse racing info from different tracks and see if it can teach itself to handicap races. Again, nothing original but fun to experiment with.
I thought it might be fun for a creative....maybe have it daily scrape and research YouTube and X and look for trends that might make for interesting videos and help scripting them...maybe even run (with a dedicated email account) the customer management aspect of this...have it interact with customer emails, and see how it does.
I can see a LOT of potential, but for me, the use is just learning....I think this type of thing does have potential, but I'm starting slow.
I hope that gives you some insight....from one older guy to another older person out there.
I see this as a potential path to that proverbial computer of Star Trek where you talk to it, interact with it and the keyboard eventually becomes a thing of the past...you ask/tell it stuff and it just does it.
But you have to start small....
Can they not remember that we did JUST FINE without a fscking smart phone in our faces 24/7...?
This may just be mind blowing, but we didn't have ANY phones at all except pay phones or what was hard wired landline at homes....
And amazingly enough, we grew up just fine..actually now how to meet and talk to each other in person, etc....
Of course this was also before social media....but hey, let's fight just one battle at a time, eh?
