You're confusing OpenClaw and Moltbook there. Moltbook was the absurdist art project with bots chatting to each other, which leaked a bunch of Moltbook-specific API keys.

If someone got hold of that they could post on Moltbook as your bot account. I wouldn't call that "a bunch of his data leaked".

Source on that? Hadn’t seen that

Indeed, via the related moltbook project that he was also hyping - https://x.com/theonejvo/status/2017732898632437932

They really should focus on fixing bugs and improving basic functionality.

Eg if you edit or create a file outside of Zed, there’s a good chance it won’t show up in the file browser.

Also… multi window doesn’t exist so the multi monitor story is trash.

“ What’s gone is the tearing, exhausting manual labour of typing every single line of code.”

Yeah, this was always the easy part.

People who really care about performance still do look at the assembly. Very few people write assembly anymore, a larger number do look at assembly every so often. It’s still a minority of people though.

I guess it would be similar here: a small few people will hand write key parts of code, a larger group will inspect the code that’s generated, and a far larger group won’t do either. At least if AI goes the way that the “other side” says.

Just anecdotally, each release seems to be buggier than the last.

To me, their claim that they are vibe coding Claude code isn’t the flex they think it is.

I find it harder and harder to trust anthropic for business related use and not just hobby tinkering. Between buggy releases, opaque and often seemingly glitches rate limits and usage limits, and the model quality inconsistency, it’s just not something I’d want to bet a business on.

Since version 2.1.9, performance has degraded significantly after extended use. After 30-40 prompts with substantial responses, memory usage climbs above 25GB, making the tool nearly unusable. I'm updating again to see if it improves.

Unlike what another commenter suggested, this is a complex tool. I'm curious whether the codebase might eventually reach a point where it becomes unfixable; even with human assistance. That would be an interesting development. We'll see.

I think I would be much more frightened if it were working well.

Exactly, thank goodness it's still a bit rubbish in some aspects

Doesn’t this just exacerbate the “black box” conundrum if they just keep piling on more and more features without fully comprehending what’s being implemented

Dublin has been relaxing their restrictions for a while now, and when I travelled two weeks ago, had also completely dropped the rules. You no longer need to remove liquids or electronics from bags, and the liquids per bottle limits are much higher (don’t remember exactly, maybe 2 litres) with no restriction on total number of bottles.

I watched a YouTube video about it a few months back and apparently the new devices, at least those used in Dublin, are much more accurate in detecting the difference between materials that previously looked similar to the machines, they can also rotate the images in 3d to get a look from different angles. Both of these make it easier to tell whether a substance is dangerous, apparently.

Berlin had a mix of modern scanners and old scanners last time I flew. I had one flight where they were using the modern scanners. And then a few weeks later I used a different security gate and I still had to remove everything from the bag. If you fly from there, the security at the far end of the terminal has the new machines and is usually also the fastest because people generally use the first security gate they see. Good tip if you are in a hurry. The last few times I was through in a few minutes.

At some airports, you can now check your own bag using a machine that weighs it and prints a sticker. Then you drop it on a belt yourself and you walk through security scanners; all without having to talk to anyone. And finally you board using your phone. Lots of automated checks. I've boarded a few times now without anyone bothering to look at an id now. It seems that with self check in the id check at the gate disappeared. And inside the Schengen zone, nobody checks ids at security either.

Edinburgh dropped all liquids and electronics ceremony for a few months now. It's great. I have found that adds of your bag being put aside for further insepction seems to have increased though.

As the saying goes:

   Measuring software productivity by lines of code is like measuring progress on an airplane by how much it weighs.

150k sounds like a lot. I do have to wonder what the program does exactly to see if that’s warranted, but it sounds bloated.

I played with factor for a while in 2009 and loved the language. I hung out in the #concatenative irc channel for a few months with many of the factor devs.

I stopped using it because it was a bit too niche, I realised I’d likely never get to use it in any serious context, and instead I learned a slightly less niche but still niche Clojure.

I don’t regret the switch at all and have learned a lot from Clojure, and used it extensively for over a decade. Lately I’ve moved away from it though. Mostly to typescript, a little rust, and Gleam, which is an absolute joy to use.

I still have a soft spot for Factor and am happy to se wits still worked on. It was one of the most interesting languages I at one point played with.

Singletons are globals and should be treated the same as every other global (that is, used sparingly and with care).

Worse is that singletons enfurece a single instance which is almost always unnecessary. It’s trivial to only create as many instances as you need.

I hate that singleton is first.

Singletons are just globals with extra steps, and have all the same problems globals have, just people (especially juniors) think they somehow are better.

In reality they’re worse because they conflate global access with enforced single instance. You almost never need to enforce a single instance. If you only want one of something, then create only one. Don’t enforce it unless it’s critical that there’s only one. Loggers are often given as an example of a “good” singleton and yet we often need multiple loggers for things like audit logs, or separating log types.

Instead of singletons, use dependency injection, use context objects, use service locators, or… just use globals and accept that they come with downsides instead of hiding behind the false sense of code quality that is a singleton.
