Readit NewsFunny enough ooenclaw is based on Pi.
I’m kind of curious what you do with it. I feel like the real value is integrating it with everything but then even if it’s nanoclaw or simpler majority of the worthy things are on the unsafe side.
Would love to hear your experience as I’m planning to do the exactly same.
The most interesting thing for me is that I built an extension for Pi that has it recognize when it does not know how to do something I am asking and it then attempts to make its own extension and/or skill to enable whatever that functionality is. Best example there is I just told it to make a todo list for me, and so it made a skill that uses a local file to track todos and follow up on them. I instructed it to make an LLM call to find the best suggested follow up timing to remind me.
So... the real value so far is I find it fun? It isn't the "life changing need to go make a tweet!!" level for me.
I went through the setup process for Openclaw. Near the end I felt like I had wrestled more with setting it up than I would have had to if I had just built it from the ground up. So I pointed Pi at Nanoclaw and asked it to review it and build me a minimal clone. It took a few minutes and I had the core of something that is easier to maintain (for me) than some unknown large and cumbersome system, or whatever Openclaw is.
To each their own.
I wonder how long npm/pip etc even makes sense.
Dependancies introduce unnecessary LOC and features which are, more and more, just written by LLMs themselves. It is easier to just write the necessary functionality directly. Whether that is more maintainable or not is a bit YMMV at this stage, but I would wager it is improving.

Is there an easy way to do something similar for Claude Code? I'm growing tired of babysitting it to make sure it doesn't do anything bad.
Late adopter. Started last night. Stayed up four hours past my normal bedtime because I couldn't stop. (Ended up "building" a fancy .MOD player for DOS in Turbo C.)
Needed the Max 5x plan after two hours. (The 'Pro' plan should be renamed 'Sampler', made one-time and free with CC details.) Max 5x seems like it can sustain my current appetite.
I very quickly went from thinking it was overpriced (around 100 USD/month) to worrying that this pricing can't last. I think I get about 50 working hours per week with this plan. So, running the numbers I guess the hourly cost is about 50 cents.
Docker desktop has a pretty nice sandbox feature that will also store your CC (and other) credentials, so you don't have to re-auth every time you create a new container.

This is one of those announcements that actually just excites me as a consumer. We give our children HomePods as their first device when they turn 8 years old (Apple Watch at 10 years, laptop at 12) and in the 6 years I have been buying them, they have not improved one ounce. My kids would like to listen to podcasts, get information, etc. All stuff that a voice conversation with Chatgpt or Gemini can do today, but Siri isn't just useless-- it's actually quite frustrating!

This was very obviously written with ChatGPT. The structure, emojis, emdashes and contrasting sentences. Surprised nobody is calling it out. IMO save us time and just give us the original short version you wrote to ChatGPT
You can tell just from the title alone.
I am currently employing a consultant for something. It's something I don't want to do myself and they are doing what I need, but it's so painfully obvious they are just vanilla ChatGPTing everything it's almost funny at this point.
34% are between 18 and 65
The median age for MAID recipients is over 77.
In some ways this isn't daring, future looking leadership... it's much more lazy leadership that took a while to adjust to market demands.
