New comment by bigpapikite in "Ask HN: Who is using OpenClaw?"

bigpapikite — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 21:25:31 +0000

I don't personally know many people who've used it so I'm not sure if this was a me thing but here was my experience in short:

I set up OpenClaw on a raspberry pi 4 that I could ssh into using my main computer. My main goal for using OpenClaw was just as a morning debriefer that could scan my google calendar, trello board, and gmail to let me know what I had happening for the day and also weekly to give me a forecast for the weeks ahead to see how busy my month was. I spent about 40-50 bucks in one week just working through kinks and having it fix itself until I stumbled onto a post that helped me optimize my model usage for price instead of just throwing Opus and Sonnet at everything.

Even after making this adjustment, the morning debriefer worked maybe once or twice a week and broke every other morning, telling me that it fixed itself and it would never happen again. At a certain point I just got fed up with it and cut the cron job, it's still running on my pi but I never use it.

Pretty sure Claude has something like this now but I'm pretty thrown off the whole thing, I'd rather just take the 30-45mins to plan out my day in the morning myself.

I got Claude to act unethical by being friends with it

New comment by bigpapikite in "Nintendo is suing the creators of Switch emulator Yuzu"

That's probably the case (as I don't know what else would make it worth buying), but the ultimate problem with Nintendo will still remain. They're bullies and they get away with it because they make some of the most consistently high quality first party games. Microsoft took the plunge first, but everyone is realizing that the future is an open platform. Turns out if you make a quality game and make it widely available people will buy it (surprise). But they're married to the idea of restricting how their titles are played, which is only going to continue to turn people off.

New comment by bigpapikite in "Orion Browser by Kagi"

bigpapikite — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 16:37:00 +0000

I tried daily driving Orion for a couple weeks and there's a lot of great work being done, but I had some pain points. The extension functionality on iPadOS is really jank in a way I don't quite know how to explain. Like sometimes I come back to Orion and the extensions are signed out of or sometimes they straight up just don't work. I've also had some bad one off experiences of random sites taking a long time to load or running into issues. Orion plays really well with Safari though, which is great, so I run a very strange combo of Orion on my iPhone, Safari on my iPad, and Arc on my Mac. There's enough additions on top of Safari for me to prefer Orion over it (if it works well), but not enough for me to prefer it over Arc on my Mac. Arc's QOL features and out the box UI design just put it way above any browser I've used.

I haven't really had issues. They have a "programming" toggle that filters results to what looks like mainly forum type content like on github or stackoverflow, but I don't use it often, I'm sure some people do though

Tree style tabs along with changing the CSS to remove the tabs from the top of the screen has been a game changer for me. Back when I had an M1 macbook air, it was the difference between everything feeling cluttered to feeling like a real laptop screen.

I'd consider tech consulting. Pick a good company that doesn't overwork the consultants and you will rarely have to put in more than 40hrs a week.
