So I dont let it reply to any email, there is a category of emails and questions we get that I already had a mental formula that now I have given the job to AI. It can riff on things and sometimes I have caught it go off the rails (AI math is still off and saw a pretty funny reply that told someone their request was denied as they asked for 3 billion dollar, which it was right but how it got the number was wrong) buts stuff that needs fast response and I have given the AI rules it needs to abide around it.
TBH they could be re-written as case statements and handled by a regular script but the AI part is half about how writing it was just a few prompts on how I regularly handle those kind of emails.
I still use it but totally not the "This one trick will supercharge your profits" kind of way.
I do use it to handle task for me for a non profit I sit on the board like handle incoming emails and execute tasks I want to delegate but honestly could have had any our AI agent handle it. There was some manual task I told myself I would automate but never got around too, Openclaw made is just easier to prompt it in to being.
The next biggest thing I like is just the shared context from machine to machine and the fact its always running and I have given it yolo access to my local stack. Home Assistant crashes? Now the wife can ask the bot to restart it. I see an interesting HN blog, i can get it to add it to my obsidian make me a useful doc (I am starting to use the llm-wiki trend but Claude Cowork seems to be really killer for this). I see an Reddit post about some new service to run locally? I can ask it to spin up an lxc of it and configure it for my use case and it will do the wiring for me.
I will say since the killing of Claude oAuth i am finding a lot of its magic did come from Opus just being so aggressive. An example was I had a task of someone sending me an image and I would have to turn it in to a table and then upload it to this really crappy portal for my non-profit. I threw the task at Openclaw (and at the time running Opus 4.6) and i watched in real time as it reverse engineer the sites backend API and found a way for it to post the data itself and it wrote itself a python script to make it repeatable. I dont see that same kind of killer instinct of doing whatever you need to do to get the task done with other models (Codex and now MiniMax).
You could even use an XMPP client with HipChat for your business chat. Though, I'd argue XMPP was one of the factors that contributed to HipChat's demise (it wasn't the sole reason, but trying to scale presence via XMPP proved to be a nightmare).
I remember reading Kevin Mitnick books in the early 2000s and it really open my eyes about social engineering and how hacking is more than just cracking a code. Help me become a better DevOps and Software Engineer.
Is anyone noticing that port `19421` no longer has anything listening on it? We are noticing some machines suddenly stop listening on this port but they have not downloaded any update. In zoom patching the running web server without user interaction?
The link is to NPR an "American privately and publicly funded non-profit membership media organization"[1]. I cant think of many other media organization with more free content then NPR in the US.

Funny, the link for "using Elasticsearch" points to an interview I gave ;)
He raises some good points on ES current problems with master election, I have raised it with the ES team during meetup with them and we have a work around the issue (we discovered the bug during our testing). Its important to know the soft points of the system your using and how to work around it. We feel like we have a good workaround and I think that has been the point of his series is to point out the flaws in common tools and you should be read to work around them. But he found a single flaw and attacked it hard, so, I am not sure throwing away the whole thing for a single flaw is a great recommendation.
Local blogs are reporting the story: http://sfist.com/2013/12/20/angry_protesters_smash_google_bu... and it seems to back your theory. I dont think I see a single person of minority in the protest. Also the local sites are doing a better job at reporting the story then this bias site.
I am actually 4 months out from my own ACL surgery, tore mine skiing and one thing the OP forgets to mention is many insurance will never pay that $60k as they have pre-negotiated rated with the hospitals and doctors. My surgery was done in SF (not the cheapest city in the world..) and according to the bill came out to just over 100k, but, my insurance paid 17k. What happen to the rest? Well I assume it was just inflated costs that the hospitals adds to the bill so the insurance can negotiate down.
I gave it a quick once over but the thing that already made me think this auther does not know what he is talking about is this line:
> You've got some decent stock, say, like, 200,000 options. You vest over four years and your strike is $1/share
What startup is that? If it has a $1/share valuation its already near the end of its "start up" runway. And if your getting 200k in shares then its either really earl on or the strike price is really low. I have had offers from YC-Backed companies in the past and its one or the other, not both.
This might suck for the power user who had his own domain, but I am betting the free version was abused by a lot of business unwilling to pay a few bucks for the service.
TBH they could be re-written as case statements and handled by a regular script but the AI part is half about how writing it was just a few prompts on how I regularly handle those kind of emails.
